HOUSE JOINT RESOLU-
TION NO. 79 proposing an
amendment to Article VIII,
Constitution of the State of
Texas, by adding Section 1-d

owned by natural persons
which is designated for agri-
cultural use in accordance
with the provisions of this
Section shall be assessed for
all tax purposes on the con-
sideration of only those fac-
tors relative to such agricul-
tural use. ‘Agricultural use’
means the raising of livestock
or growing of crops, fruit,
flowers, and other products of
the soil under natural condi-
tions as a business venture
for profit, which business is
the primary occupation and
source of income of the
owner.
“(b) For each assessment
year the owner wishes to
qualify his land under pro-
visions of this Section as
designated for agricultural
use he shall file with the
local tax assessor a sworn
statement in writing describ-
ing the use to which the land
is devoted.
“(c) Upon receipt of the
sworn statement in writing
the local tax assessor shall
determine whether or not
such land qualifies for the
designation as to agricultural
use as defined herein and in
the event it so qualifies he
shall designate such land as
being for agricultural use and
assess the land accordingly.
“(d) Such local tax assessor
may inspect the land and re-
quire such evidence of use and
source of income as may be
necessary or useful in deter-
mining- whether or not the
agricultural use provision of
this article applies.
“(e) No land may qualify
for the designation provided
for in this Act unless for at
least three (3) successive
years immediately preceding
the assessment date the land
has been devoted exclusively
for agricultural use, or unless
the land has been continuous-
ly developed for agriculture
during such time.
“(f) Each year during
which the land is designated
for agricultural use, the local
tax assessor shall note on his
records the valuation which
would have been made had
the land not qualified for such
designation under this Section.
If designated land is subse-
quently diverted to a purpose
other than that of agricultural
use, or is sold, the land shall
be subject to an additional
tax. The additional tax shall
equal the difference between
taxes paid or payable, here-
under, and the amount of tax
payable for the preceding
three years had the land been
otherwise assessed. Until paid,
there shall be a lien for addi-
tional taxes and interest on
land assessed under the pro-
visions of this Section.
“(g) The valuation and as-
sessment of any minerals or
subsurface rights to minerals
shall not come within the pro-
visions of this Section.”
Sec. 2. The foregoing Con-
stitutional Amendment shall
be submitted to a vote of the
qualified electors of this
State at an election to be held
on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in Novem-
ber, 1966, at which election all

them the following:
“FOR the Constitutional
Amendment to provide that
all land owned by natural
persons designated for agri-
cultural use shall be asses-
sed for all tax purposes on
the consideration of only
those factors relative to
such agricultural use.
“AGAINST the Constitu-
tional Amendment to pro-
vide that all land owned by
natural persons designated
for agricultural use shall be
assessed for all tax pur-
poses on the consideration
of only those factors rela-
tive to such agricultural
use.”
Sec. 3. The Governor of the
State of Texas shall issue the
necessary proclamation for
the election and this Amend-
ment shall be published in
the manner and for the length
of time as required by the
constitution and laws of this
state.
