How Texas Tax Truth Research Is Prepared
Content is published under the Texas Tax Truth Editorial Desk name. The site does not present that publisher name as a licensed law firm, CPA practice or government agency, and it does not imply that an individual professional has reviewed a page unless that person and their qualifications are specifically identified on the page.
How the material is prepared
- Data: official Comptroller rate files are downloaded and parsed into the public datasets used by the calculators.
- Writing: each guide explains the relevant rate, threshold or tax rule and links to the primary source used.
- Checking: the project includes automated checks for dataset row counts, rate units, selected totals, page structure and internal links. Readers can compare the displayed figures with the cited source files.
Authorship and qualifications
The publisher name identifies the editorial source of this website; it is not a professional credential. No CPA, attorney, enrolled agent or other tax qualification is claimed for the publisher by this page. Where an individual contributor's name or credentials are published in the future, they will be shown only when they have been confirmed.
Editorial rules we hold ourselves to
- A number without a source does not go on the page.
- Estimates and illustrations are labelled as such, in the sentence where they appear.
- Calculators show the source file and the data year on the page, not in a footnote.
- When the law changes, the old figure is replaced and the change is described — never quietly edited.
- Nothing is written about a document we have not read. Where a record is incomplete, the page says so.
