I look forward to leading the Hood County Appraisal District, where I can work directly with the community, and taxing units to find solutions to issues that mutually meet one another’s expectations. “

                Board Chairman for Hood CAD, Eddie Rodriguez stated, “We are exceptionally pleased to have Mr. Law come on board to lead our district.  We were seeking someone with extensive experience and strong leadership characteristics, and Mr. Law certainly meets those criteria.  We will work closely with him to ensure accuracy of appraisals in Hood CAD and provide excellence in customer service and a transparent operation for our citizens.”
