Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule

(a)Actions reviewable in LBA. A property owner who has filed a notice of protest under Tax Code, Chapter 41, may file a request for LBA to compel the ARB or the chief appraiser to take certain actions under Tax Code, §41A.015(a).

(b)Waiver of right to seek LBA. A property owner waives their right to seek LBA under Tax Code, §41A.015, if:

  (1)under Tax Code, §41A.015(a)(5), there was no request that the ARB hearing be postponed, or the property owner or the property owner's agent was offered a postponement and chose to proceed with the ARB protest; or

  (2)under Tax Code, §41A.015(a)(7), there was an offer to postpone the ARB hearing upon the objected-to evidence being provided and the property owner or the property owner's agent chose to proceed with the ARB protest.

(c)Requirements for processing. A request for LBA that meets the following terms and conditions will be processed by the comptroller:

  (1)The request was submitted in accordance with Tax Code, §41A.015, §9.4204 of this title, and this section.

  (2)The request includes a deposit that meets the requirements of §9.4204 and §9.4221 of this title.

(d)Multiple alleged violations or properties. LBA requests are confined to a single tax year and a single property owner. The property owner may file for multiple alleged procedural violations for a single property or for multiple properties owned by a single property owner. If the request involves multiple alleged procedural violations or multiple properties, each individual allegation and property must separately meet the requirements of this section, except that a single deposit is required.
