Though you require an licensed agent to bid, the process is quick and easy, so there should not be too much protest about placing a low bid. 

All information on the county appraisal district website stated that it was too late for me to protest.

I hate protesting property values (its a lot of work) but have done it and been successful.Account Closed Thanks for walking me through the example
