🔴 2026 Protest Deadline: May 15, 2026 — or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value is mailed, whichever is later. Miss this date and you waive your right to protest.
Coke County sits in the heart of West Texas, an oil and ranch county named for Richard Coke, the 15th governor of Texas. With fewer than 3,500 residents spread across nearly 900 square miles, Robert Lee serves as the county seat. Property values here are relatively modest — but the tax rate is not, and rural property owners have every right to scrutinize their appraisals.
In recent years, protest activity has increased across rural Texas counties as landowners recognize that the system is available to them regardless of property size. If your appraised value seems high compared to actual sales in the area, you have grounds to protest.

Before your ARB hearing, a CAD appraiser may offer to settle. Review any offer carefully before accepting — you can accept or proceed to the formal hearing.
The Appraisal Review Board is independent of the CAD. Present your evidence clearly and concisely. Most hearings run 15–30 minutes.
Disagree with the ARB ruling? You may appeal to district court, binding arbitration, or SOAH (properties over $1 million).
“No person’s particular services shall be demanded, nor property taken or applied to public use, unless by the consent of himself or his representative, without just compensation being made therefor.”
