Michael Saegert
Texas Property Tax Attorney
A native Texan born and raised in Austin, Michael earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from St. Edward’s University before beginning his professional career in property casualty underwriting. He later relocated to Houston to pursue his legal education at South Texas College of Law Houston, earning his Juris Doctor in 1996. During law school, he interned with the Harris County Attorney’s Office, assisting with matters involving the Harris County Appraisal District. Upon admission to the Texas Bar, he was appointed as in-house counsel to the appraisal district — a rare role at the time for a major metropolitan jurisdiction.
​
His service within the public sector provided invaluable insight into the internal operations of appraisal districts, appraisal review boards, and the broader property tax system in Texas. This experience continues to inform his strategic approach when representing homeowners, commercial property owners, and businesses in valuation disputes, exemption matters, litigation, and related proceedings.
​
Michael’s practice is guided by a core belief: where others see obstacles, there is always a solution to be found. Clients value his measured judgment, disciplined preparation, and steady advocacy in navigating what can often feel like an overwhelming legal process.
​
Outside of his practice, Michael enjoys fishing and spending time outdoors — pursuits that reflect the patience, focus, and persistence he brings to his work on behalf of his clients.
Based in Houston and representing property owners throughout Texas, Michael Saegert remains committed to protecting the rights and financial interests of those facing property tax challenges.
