The Honorable Fred Hill - Page 7
SUMMARY Section 1.111(b) of the Texas Tax Code authorizes a designation of agent form to be signed by an "other person authorized to act on behalf of the owner." A property tax consultant that falls within the statutory language, as construed, is authorized by section 1.111(b) to execute and complete the designation form for the property owner. Questions regarding the validity and sufficiency of a given fee agreement are outside the purview of the opinion process. The Comptroller of Public Accounts must comply with applicable state law. Whether behavior or conduct violates a statute is a fact question that cannot be answered in the opinion process. Very truly yours, GREG BOTT Attorney 4neral of Texas KENT C. SULLIVAN First Assistant Attorney General ANDREW WEBER Deputy Attorney General for Legal Counsel NANCY S. FULLER Chair, Opinion Committee Charlotte M.
