SUBJECT: Election of Board of Directors of the
Harris County Appraisal District
DATE: October 17,2005
The nomination period for board candidates representing the small cities, school districts, and
conservation & reclamation districts closed October 14,2005. The names of all candidates
officially nominated to me on or before that date are reflected on the enclosed "Certification of
Ballot" forms.
Candidates for contested positions are listed alphabetically on the ballot in the manner required
by the Texas Tax Code.
To assist you in the election procedure, I have enclosed a Certification of Ballot and a suggested
form of resolution for casting your vote for the candidate representing your type of taxing unit.
Ballot forms for all three types of units are enclosed to make you aware of all nominees, even
though only taxing units of a particular type may vote in the election applicable to that type of
unit. The governing body of each taxing unit is entitled to one vote for the candidate of its
choice from th~names appearing on the appropriate Certification of Ballot.
No later than December 15,2005, each governing body must cast its vote for one of the
nominees, formally adopt a resolution naming the person for whom it votes, and submit a
certified copy to the chief appraiser. The vote must be by resolution. The resolution, or a
certified copy thereof, together with the completed Certification of Ballot, must be delivered to
Jim Robinson, Chief Appraiser, 13013 Northwest Freeway, Houston, Texas 77040, or mailed to
P. O. Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-0975 to arrive before Thursday, December 15,2005.
The outside of the envelope should be marked "Ballot for Board of Directors."

On Friday, December 16,2005, the chief appraiser will count the votes, declare the results, and
notify the winners, the nominees, and the presiding officers of each taxing unit. A tie vote will
be resolved by a method of chance chosen by the chief appraiser.
These procedures do not apply to Harris County, the City of Houston, or the Houston
Independent School District. Those units will select their board member by adopting a resolution
appointing such member by December 15,2005, and delivering an original or certified copy to
the Office of the Chief Appraiser.
If you have questions about the board selection process, please call me at 713/957-5291.
