Winter Freezing
On January 25, 2026, Governor Abbott issued a proclamation declaring a disaster in a number of Texas Counties, including Guadalupe County, due to severe winter weather that threatens widespread damage, injury, and loss of life due to prolonged freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and freezing rain statewide. Guadalupe County property owners impacted by the winter storm may be eligible for a temporary disaster exemption for the current 2026 appraisal year. Below are links to PowerPoint Presentations covering the temporary disaster exemption along with links to the application and tax code.
