Williamson County Judicial Appeals After Formal Hearings

While binding arbitration and State Office of Appeal Hearing (SOAH) protests have their place, it is judicial appeals that lead the charge when it comes to post-administrative protests. These are essentially lawsuits that differ only slightly from the standard civil cases seen by courts across Texas. Due to the expense and possible years of waiting to reach the end goal, these lawsuits are usually only utilized for elite real estate like commercial properties, ranches, industrial facilities, and stadiums. These lawsuits are not for the uninitiated, as they require legal counsel, professional evidence, and expert witnesses.

Williamson County Judicial Appeals Filed by Property Type

636 judicial appeals were filed in 2023. Of that total, 387 were for commercial properties. This is typical of Texas, as businesses are usually the main driver for post-administrative lawsuits. They have the most to gain and the most resources with which to go through the appeal process. Multi family homes were in second place with 174 lawsuits. Single family homes made a surprise showing of 17, as these each represent luxury homes or mansions, though they can sometimes also represent farms.
