Yesterday, Texas Attorney General Opinion KP-0175 (2017) was released on “Whether an appraisal district is authorized to modify the boundary of a school district upon receipt of information suggesting the survey line is inaccurate.”
The summary stated:
“A tax appraisal district has no authority to detach property from one school district and transfer the property to another school district under section 13.051 of the Education Code.
The Legislature has not given an appraisal district independent authority to determine or alter the boundaries established by a school district.”
