33% Property Tax Hike, Dallas County Texas.

[JayCinta Henry]

My rental unit got hit with a 33% tax hike this year.  Looking through the county neighborhood data I noticed my property had the highest hike, about 7 others at about 24% +/-. The rest come in at 8-12% and even 2 @5%.  I don't see what warrants this hike, other than the hot DFW market. The property is average or below, still the same way since acquisition about 3 years ago with an old roof that needs replacement at some point. 

My question is - isn't tax hike capped at 10% in Texas?

I am enrolled with pocconor tax protest agents. They are too big and sometimes I think some things may fall thro' the cracks, such as putting up a very specific fight to ward off  this 33% tax hike.  I have called to discuss my account and it's a hit & mostly, a miss. There's an upcoming hearing in schedule. They have all they need to present to the board - pics, state of property, etc. but I am afraid if they will notice the ridiculous 33% and fight to tamp it down to capped 10%.

My other question is there a better tax agent anyone can recommend - better in terms of someone you can call and talk one on one with?
