the Tax Appraisal District
for Tarrant County Under
the provisions of Senate Bill 621 passed by the recent session of
the Texas Legislature (the Peveto Bill), a tax appraisal district is created
on January 1, 1980, in each county in the State of Texas. That tax
appraisal district assumes-all of the tax appraising functions (not assessment
or collection) for all taxing units located within each county.There
will be one tax appraisal district created for each county.The
governing board of each tax appraisal district for each county will
consist of five members selected by those taxing units entitled to participate
in each county.My
current information indicates that your taxing unit is entitled to
participate in the selection of the five member governing board of the tax
appraisal district for Tarrant County. The Office of the Tarrant County Clerk
is required by law to conduct the selection process for the five member governing
board of the Tax Appraisal District for Tarrant County.In
order for the office of the County Clerk to calculate the extent of
the entitlement of your unit in the selection process, it will be necessary that
your taxing unit carefully read and fill out one of the questionnaires enclosed
herewith. You must fill out only one of the questionnaires enclosed,and
return that questionnaire to my office in the enclosed, self-addressed,stamped
envelope to be received by my office no later than September 1,1979.
YOUR FAILURE
TO CAREFULLY FILL OUT AND RETURN THE APPROPRIATE QUESTIONNAIRE MAY RESULT
IN LOSS OF ALL OR A PART OF YOUR SELECTION PRIVILEGES FOR THE FIVE MEMBER
GOVERNING BODY OF THE TAX APPRAISAL DISTRICT FOR TARRANT COUNTY.I EMPHASIZE
THAT THE APPROPRIATE QUESTIONNAIRE MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE OFFICE OF THE
TARRANT COUNTY CLERK NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 1, 1979, IN ORDERTO FULLY INSURE YOUR
RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SELECTION PROCESS.

in which is located property on which you imposed taxes for
the year 1978. However, your entitlement to participate in the selection
process is limited to the pro rata share of property in

the effect of your participation in a single tax appraisal district and

in only one tax appraisal district. You may make this election
only by passing of a resolution by your governing board.If your
taxing unit
wishes to participate only in the Tax Appraisal District for Tarrant County,
or if it wishes to participate only in the tax appraisal district

Clerk of each county, including Tarrant County, in which property is located
on which you imposed taxes in 1978, must receive a copy of

to pass a resolution electing to
participate in only one tax appraisal district and to return a certified
