Relating to the confidentiality of certain home address information in property tax appraisal records.

HB 1798 allows specific individuals to request confidentiality for their home addresses in public property tax records. It directly affects peace officers (and their spouses/surviving spouses), adult children of peace officers, county jailers, certain state employees (like Texas Department of Criminal Justice staff), security officers, victims of family violence or sexual assault (with proof), participants in the address confidentiality program, and specific judges or attorneys handling criminal/child protection cases. The bill amends the Tax Code to require property appraisers to conceal these addresses upon verified request, replacing public access with confidential handling. This change aims to protect vulnerable individuals from potential safety risks linked to publicly available property records.
