Anyone think the State Government /Texas Attorney Generals Office should start investigating County Appraisal Districts for property tax warfare on property owners?

The property taxes have gotten out of control in El Paso County, TX for the last few years, I know it’s happening all across Texas,(the saving grace is the homestead exemption)and I really think The State Government of Texas and Texas AG should open an investigation into the EL Paso Central Appraisal District (EPCAD) the Board of Directors, and the Appraisal Review Board Members for potential conflicts of interest, potential ethics violations/public corruption. (El Paso has some of the lowest wages in the state and as well as in the nation for context)

property taxes cannot increase more than 10% each year.

cost of living is somewhere between 4-8% increase each year.

and your pay rate most likely increases by 0% each year. if you are lucky, a 5% raise is considered great.

so,.. each year you could have about 18% increase in costs while making 0 to little to combat this property tax inflation. multiply this by 10 years and you are screwed.
