Taxation of nonproducing mineral interests held by non-profits has very real policy implications. Should tax assessors choose to pursue this route, it creates serious liabilities on certain nonprofit organizations with large, nonproducing mineral interests under their otherwise tax-exempt property. This Comment proposes that the Texas Legislature create a narrowly tailored extension of the non-profit organization property tax exemption for nonproducing mineral interests attached to otherwise exempt properties.
