What I'm Requesting

Finally! I'm back to wrap up the FOI project with a few more posts so stay tuned!

The next step in my project was to narrow down exactly what I wanted to send to the County Clerk. I had an idea to examine property tax records for a specific area in order to see how they had changed in the last five years. At first, I was going to inquire about the areas around TCU in light of the recent stories about the house-style dorm properties going up, but then I had a better idea.

Since the Chisholm Trail Parkway is a brand new highway that cuts through both residential and commercial areas, I was curious as to how it affected property value. I noticed that there was a neighborhood just south of the Oakmont Blvd. that had a street of houses facing the highway directly and I knew I wanted to inquire about that. The last five years will show the change from when there was no highway to the time of construction to when the highway was finished. I'll be interested to see how, if at all, anything has changed and if it is better or worse now that construction is finished. I'd certainly be aggravated if my house suddenly faced a toll highway, so I'm excited to get the documents!
