Funded & in effect: Proposition 13 approved Nov 4, 2025. Article 1 took effect on the official canvass.
Linked bills: SB 4 (89R)
Why Kept: KLTV, Oct 10, 2024: Harris named property tax relief as a re-election priority (he also said he wants property taxes eliminated with a sales-tax increase). In the 89th regular session he was a House cosponsor of SB 4, listed as 'Harris' separately from 'Harris Davila'; signed June 16, 2025, with Prop 13 approved Nov 4, 2025. SB 4 is homestead-exemption relief, not full elimination. (east-tx-research, 2026-11-10 15:52:26 UTC)

“If I was a dad, and my kids were trapped in a failing public school, then I’d be beating the doors of the Capitol down for another option for my kids, especially if I’m paying into the property tax system and that system is failing me.”
