So much fail.

Texas is based.

The Senate got what it wanted and increased the homestead exemption from $40,000 to $100,000.

The House got what it wanted and "compressed" school property taxes by essentially giving school districts $12 billion in order to reduce the burden on Texas homeowners.

"It will cut school taxes for homeowners by about 41 percent, and people who have business properties about 23 percent," Patrick explained while breaking the compromise down.

On average, Patrick said the new compromise will see Texas homeowners paying $1,200 to $1,450 less in property taxes than they did previously -- beginning this year.
