No, Del Rio’s Property Tax Increase Won’t Be Halted by Attorney General Ken Paxton No, Del Rio’s Property Tax Increase Won’t Be Halted by Attorney General Ken Paxton
Attorney General Ken Paxton published a press release on October 2, 2025, calling out four Texas municipalities for violating the new S.B. 1851 law. The cities of La Marque, Odessa, Tom Bean, and Whitesboro recently ratified their tax rates, and Paxton halted the implementation of those tax rates. The City of Del Rio’s recent tax increase is currently safe because it met the key deadline under the new law.
