Protest your taxes and that is a simple process here in Travis County, I don't really like new homes as one doesn't know about the viability afterwards.

I could protest, but market value is likely higher than county appraisal.  

Appraise at $700k (most people protest and have tax values lower than actual value).  

However, in the new year you may also protest your taxes if you believe you have good reason.

You also need the Protestant Work Ethic and an extreme drive to be successful.

If the letter comes from the attorney, states specific legal reasons why you are entitled to reduce the amount due on your note, I the previous owner will be much less likely to protest your claims.  

Otherwise, there'd be a protest (we like to protest here) and such.

This is how it reads: "All parties to this Note, including maker and any sureties, endorsers, or guarantors hereby waive protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, and notice of acceleration of maturity and agree to continue to remain bound for the payment of principle, interest and all other sums due under this Note and the Deed of Trust notwithstanding any change or changes by way of release, surrender, exchange, modification or substitution of any security for this Note or by way of any extension or extensions of time for the payment of principal and interest; and all such parties waive all and every kind of notice of such exchange or changes and agree that the same may be made without notice or consent of any of them."

Ann Watkins I find your comments pretty ironic considering I've seen a lot of protesters on the news who are "excited to a frenzy and foaming at the mouth" and actually "drawing blood."

Its also possible they aggressively protest there county assessment every year.
