TCAD has received all of the nominations and now each taxing unit must determine their vote by resolution and submit it to the Chief Appraiser before December 15, 2011 (per Section 6.03 of the Texas Property Tax Code). The eastern jurisdictions, in which Round Rock is located, may cast one vote each for the eastern jurisdiction nominee. This resolution will allocate Round Rock's 1 vote to Rico Reyes.
