Notes:
Three appraisal review board panel members were sued by a tax consultant claiming negligence in a value determination for allegedly not basing the value reduction on a preponderance of the evidence presented at the protest hearing. The members asserted the affirmative defense of judicial immunity. The court found appraisal review board members perform quasi-judicial functions and as such benefit from judicial immunity in the performance of their duties. Sledd v. Garrett, 123 S.W.3d 592 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. denied.).
