— Section 13, Declaration of Rights, Republic of Texas, 1836Hood County is a place people come to stay — to retire on the lake, to work land their family has held for decades, to live at a pace that DFW no longer allows. Rising appraisals that treat Granbury like a suburb of Fort Worth are not an accurate measure of what this county is. The founders of this Republic were explicit: property is not to be taken without consent and just compensation. Show up. Look up your value. File your protest. Attend the hearings. The people setting these rates are your neighbors. They work for you — as long as you hold them to it.
