U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen, and his wife ran afoul of property tax law for at least eight years as each claimed homestead exemptions on properties they separately owned. They fixed the issue last year, when his wife, Lorena Saenz Gonzalez, removed the homestead exemption on her property. But from 2014 to 2021, Hidalgo County records show that Vicente Gonzalez was claiming a homestead exemption on a property in McAllen valued this year at $527,054, while his wife was also claiming one on another property in the city valued this year at $287,131. That saved them at least $2,300 in property taxes on the second property, according to a Texas Tribune analysis.
Hello everyone, I am Manta. I have come a long way since I first came to the shelter. I used to be extremely timid and shy. Now I have gained a little more confidence and have become a super playful and loving boy. I am calm when someone is putting a leash on me and when walking. When outside i like to run around and play fetch, It's my favorite game. I am looking forward to seeing you soon at the Andrew Location & finding my forever home.
