If you own a home in Texas or plan to soon, there’s some good news on the table for your wallet. But if you don’t file correctly or miss key exemptions, you could leave money behind. Let’s not do that.
I sat down with two local tax pros, Josh Howen & Chris Ruhnke from Howen & Ruhnke PLCC, to break it all down in a way that actually makes sense. We covered the new changes to the Texas Homestead Exemption, what it means for 65+ and disabled homeowners, and how tax planning now could impact your finances well into 2026.
🎥 Watch the full video here.
What You’ll Learn:
-
What the updated homestead exemption really means
-
How to file (and how to check if you’ve already done it)
-
Additional tax breaks for 65+ and disabled homeowners
-
Why your tax return can impact future home financing
-
What happens if you haven’t filed and how to fix it
This isn’t your average tax seminar. It’s a casual, honest conversation to help you get ahead — whether you’re a first-time homeowner or someone who’s lived in your place for years and just realized… you never filed that exemption. 😅
