Ing to the Comptroller, there is no provision for the cessation of property taxes at any stage. However, there is a Texas property tax exemption for people over the age of 65, which offers temporary tax relief for seniors. At the age of 65, seniors can apply for an exemption from Texas property taxes.
To apply for an exemption, call the Bexar Appraisal District at 210-224-2432. You may also contact their agency directly by email or visit their website to obtain the necessary forms. The exemption will be forwarded to the tax office as soon as the Appraisal District updates their records.
Texas offers several types of Homestead Exemptions: Standard Homestead Exemption: Provides a $100,000 reduction in the appraised value for school district taxes. For example, a home appraised at $300,000 would have its taxable value reduced to $200,000, saving homeowners hundreds of dollars annually.

To probate a will, you'll need to file an application in a probate court. This is typically done in the county where the deceased had lived. Other rules will apply if the person lived out of state. The court will schedule a hearing to examine the will and listen to any objections.
An affidavit of heirship should be filed in the county where the decedent owned the property in question. Contact the county clerk in the relevant county for more information on filing fees and how to file the affidavit.
