We are a full-service Tax Consulting and Law Firm with specialized knowledge in valuation, property tax laws, and protest processes. Our clients spend less time protesting valuations and more time expanding their real estate portfolios.
A law firm based in Texas that focuses its practice on property tax issues. Accordingly, we represent large multi-location commercial property owners seeking to reduce their tax liabilities in both the administrative and litigation phases and commercial property owners facing delinquent tax issues. We also represent owners and tax consultants in the lawsuit appeal stage in the event that their initial protest did not produce an acceptable result.
This information is intended for property managers, agents, representatives and others responsible for commercial, multifamily, industrial, or retail properties in Texas who may have missed a prior property tax protest deadline. If you manage or represent multiple properties, understanding whether late options may still exist is especially important as statutory deadlines approach.
Late property tax protests are not available in every situation
Eligibility depends on specific facts, notice issues, and jurisdictional rules
Property taxes must still be paid by the January 31 deadline; however, payment of taxes does not prohibit further review or the pursuit of certain late protest or correction options
These matters are time-sensitive and governed by statute
January 31 is often the final date to initiate certain late filings or corrective actions for the prior tax year.
Late property tax protests and corrections involve procedural requirements that differ from standard, timely protests. Whether an option may still be available depends on how notices were delivered, valuation thresholds, and statutory provisions that vary by circumstance.
We can help:
Determine whether a late protest or correction may be permitted
Determine what documentation is required
Determine whether pursuing relief makes sense under the circumstances
Manage and handle next steps for you
We provide comprehensive representation to property owners throughout Texas. We stay up-to-date on the legal and regulatory changes that affect Texas property owners so that we are current on all the critical information in this diverse market.

Estes & Gandhi, P.C. is currently undergoing a strategic transition and will be restructured into two distinct and independent firms to better serve our clients. The two new firms are: Estes & Banks, P.C., led by Josh Estes and Spencer Banks, and the other is ClearEdge Tax Group, led by Niral Gandhi. If you have any questions, please reach out to either team or, learn more here.
We understand that client service goes above and beyond servicing a property owner’s accounts. Although proper representation is expected, communication and contact with each client is just as important at our firm. A tax agent has more extensive knowledge regarding a property’s industries and markets, but a property owner has more extensive knowledge regarding the owner’s actual property.
We actively collaborate with property owners seeking their input on their property to produce the best evidence for the best results.
Our team welcomes new customers with large multi location real estate portfolios. If this sounds like your company, and you like what you are seeing:
