  1. Special sesh 1 is under way as of 9pm. Prop tax and border security first up. Abbott appears to have hamstrung the ptax talks to rate compression only, not even homestead bumps or caps.
  2. Property tax is all but special session bound. House wants appraisal caps on everything, senate says no caps, and Abbott is rumored to request only rate compression to be heard in special.
  3. Is there anything to house members gunning for senate members ahead of primary trying to move up?
  4. I recall having beers with a world class cap employee and to say he was totally sketched out by the internal ops would be an understatement. Paul and a family member or two had the entire top penthouse unit to themselves essentially behind 2 sets of key card doors while the actual operation was crowded into a floor below. They talked about how Paul had his sister or cousin in NYC calling shots despite having virtually zero real estate experience. Basically he made it sound exactly as it now sounds but this was 10 yrs ago.
  5. House adjourns til 11am. No deal tonight
  6. Both chambers at ease as they hash out the ptax bill. I’m guessing house sent a f you proposal to senate and gonna force their hand on declining
  7. Dutton really is regarded, perfect encapsulation of Tx Democrat.
  8. All us assholes cheering for this now have a son of Wilco as ag, congrats! https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/about-office/ken-paxtons-leadership-team
  9. When will senate hear and vote?
  10. Sit down already Dutton, just droning on
  11. Ok old man, wrap it up
  12. Similar to gun control debates the ‘prosecutor’ just called Paxton the top law enforcement official in the state, so their entire case is ‘moo’
  13. Block is cornier than Garth “Mr Yearwood” Brooks with his false modesty bullsh.
  14. I posted on here about a trip years ago so grain of salt… vieques get a jeep and go backroading to secluded beaches you’ll have to yourself. Just don’t hit any wild horses.
  15. Yep I’m trying to sort through where to put some cash on a REIT that is heavy cash currently as there could/should be some solid deals. still thinking the general supply demand fundamentals are still decent for Texas multi fam, but pricing needs a reset with the rate hikes. heard from a buddy today that asset managers/owners he works with are giving strong consideration to handing the keys over to the bank. The sobering thing for me is my reference point is mainly Texas multi fam, and if these properties in this states economy/population growth are going under then the whole country must be in major danger.
  16. Meanwhile assessors valuing a class on sub 4caps in central Tx. Roll a closing statement into Harris cad for 20% below assessment and get ignored entirely.
  17. Snap Block to reality with firing off a +11
  18. Hi ALPP with your sweet ass reverse split that you’ll never ever ever recover from. Write offs for years boys!
  19. Between office market turmoil and multi family speculative purchases on floating rates the last 18 months, commercial RE is about to get lit the f up. Shit tons of apartments underwritten with debt service that has ballooned 4x since purchase along with outrageous insurance premium bumps, and rental rates plateaued due to general inflationary pressures/job losses on renters.
  20. I was thinking that no matter what happened game 1 Witt shouldve started today to stay on schedule.
  21. Galvan is the hitting equivalent of minchey
  22. Sydney Powell step right up
  23. scans came back on my dad and it’s bad. When talking brain/cranial cancer the words “fingers” and “extensive” strike a sharp chord. Still sorting through it all, they are not certain if it’s the prostate coming back around or sarcoma, fortunately minimal pain. A body scan coming up to see true extent, talks of radiation and killing his testosterone in case it is prostate then immunotherapy. If it was chemo I’d wager he’d decline. hardest part is my mom went into it thinking it wasn’t going to be too bad of a report for some reason even though all the signs and history said otherwise, not sure if delusion or denial. It hit hard. Not much sleep happening tonight.
  24. Been trying to tell y’all on here. That dude is about to blow up, very personable on stage too. Saw him at gruene last summer and had hell finding tix bc it was sold out.
  25. Holy shit why did they give tornado boy the ball?
