Tarrant County, Texas
Accountability Starts Here.
The Future Of Our Neighborhood Begins With Us.
Political promises are easy to make and easy to forget. Byron vows to cut through the noise and give every resident a clear, honest picture of what the TAD Board actually does — and how its decisions directly affect school districts, businesses, and families across Tarrant County.
The Platform
Three Commitments. No Exceptions.
Transparency
Every appraisal decision should be explainable and documented. No more black-box valuations that leave homeowners guessing.
Fair Appraisals
Your property value should reflect reality — not inflated numbers designed to maximize tax revenue at your expense.
Accountability
The appraisal district works for Tarrant County residents, not the other way around. It's time leadership answered to the people.
"Your property value shouldn't be a guessing game."
— Byron Haynes
Why I'm Running
Tired of Politics as Usual? So Am I.
My generation doesn't trust politics — and honestly, I get it. We've watched leaders make promises they never kept, and systems meant to protect us protect only the people who already had power.
But distrust without action just leaves the door open for the same people to keep running things unchecked. Every team that actually wins has a playbook, a strategy, and someone in the room who's mastered both — not just someone who's angry about the last loss. Skepticism doesn't fix a broken system. Preparation does.
I've spent over a decade in real estate — over 1,000 property valuations, 100-plus families represented, homes I've personally built and remodeled across Tarrant County. I've seen the appraisal process from every angle, including where it fails the people least equipped to fight back: first-time homeowners, families on fixed incomes, people just starting to build something of their own.
A Board seat isn't just a platform to critique the system from outside — it's a seat that requires actually knowing the playbook: how valuations are built, how appeals work, and how every decision this Board makes ripples out to school districts, businesses, and residents who never get a vote on how their home's value is set. That's not a job for someone learning on the fly. It's a job for someone who's already done the work.
Fair valuation isn't a technical function of government. It's about protecting the wealth families spend their lives building. This isn't left versus right. It's about whether the people deciding your home's worth actually understand your home. The future of our neighborhood begins with us.
I've completed over 1,000 property valuations in Tarrant County. I know how this system works — and I know how it should work.

My property taxes went up 34% in two years. I filed a protest and got nowhere. We need someone on that board who actually listens.
