Fresno resident wins court case against
Fort Bend Central Appraisal District

Rodrigo Carreon, a Fresno resident, admits he spent more to fight the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District in court than he got back when he won the case, he would rather the court had the money than to have the CAD keep the funds. Last week after a nearly four year battle, Carreon was notified that he had prevailed in court.

Carreon said the issue surfaced in 2005 when the FBCAD failed to grant him a homestead exemption on his Fresno property. “They illegally changed the address to my property, which they later told the judge was a mistake,” he explained.
