It’s that time of year again—2024 property tax statements have been sent out across most counties. If you haven’t received yours, it’s crucial to contact your local county tax office immediately. By law, property owners are responsible for notifying the county of any address changes. But what happens if you’re caught off guard by unexpected taxes, disputed assessments, or worse—delinquent notices that could lead to foreclosure?
At Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers, we understand that property tax season can be stressful and confusing, especially if you’re already dealing with the aftermath of a personal injury. Financial burdens can quickly pile up, and navigating the complexities of property tax laws might seem overwhelming. That’s where we come in.
Why Property Tax Season Matters to You
Failing to receive a tax bill is not an acceptable defense for missing payments. By January 31, 2024, your property taxes are due—and missing that deadline means facing late fees and possibly even aggressive collection efforts.
But here’s the catch: if you’re facing financial hardship due to an injury, medical expenses, or other unexpected life events, paying those taxes on time might feel impossible. What can you do?
We Fight to Protect What’s Yours
Herrman & Herrman isn’t just about personal injury claims—we’re here to protect your financial well-being and your assets during difficult times. If you’re struggling to manage your property taxes or fear losing your home due to unpaid bills, we can help you explore options like:
- Homestead Exemptions: Did you know you might qualify to reduce your property taxes by applying for a homestead exemption? We can guide you through the process.
- Tax Payment Plans: Many counties offer payment plans, but navigating the paperwork can be a challenge. We’ll help ensure you meet every requirement.
- Deferrals for Seniors and Disabled Homeowners: If you’re over 65 or disabled and unable to make your tax payments, you may qualify for a tax deferral to prevent foreclosure. Let us help you apply and secure your home.
Business Owners: Don’t Let Tax Issues Shut You Down
If you own a business, you may also face taxes on business personal property—including furniture, fixtures, and equipment. These taxes are often overlooked but can lead to severe penalties if unpaid. If your business was operational on January 1, you’ll be taxed for the full year, even if you’ve since closed. Disputing incorrect assessments or resolving tax obligations can be time-consuming and stressful—especially when you’re trying to focus on rebuilding your life after an injury.
We’ll help you handle these disputes with your local appraisal district so you can focus on what matters most—running your business and caring for your family.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
