R. Dreyer--Appeal from 270th District Court of Harris County (Hon. Brent Gamble) ("With exceptions that do not apply to this case, the procedures prescribed by the Tax Code for adjudication of the grounds of protest authorized by that statute (which include complaints regarding an alleged homestead exemption) are exclusive. See Tex. Tax Code Ann. ' 42.09(a). This suit by the Dreyers and 1615 Corporation seeking an equitable bill of review, declaratory judgment, and recoupment of alleged overpayments of property taxes is not part of the procedures prescribed by the Property Tax Code.[7] See id. ' 41.01, et seq. (Vernon 2001). Therefore, section 42.09 bars the claims brought by the Dreyers and 1615 Corporation. See id. ' 42.09; Rourk, 194 S.W.3d at 502. Under the Texas Supreme Court's decision in Rourk, the application of section 42.09 deprives the trial court of jurisdiction, and therefore the trial court erred in denying the Taxing Authorities' plea to the jurisdiction.[8] See Rourk, 194 S.W.3d at 501-2. Accordingly, we sustain the Taxing Authorities' third issue, reverse the trial court's order denying the Taxing Authorities' plea to the jurisdiction, and render judgment dismissing all the claims of the Dreyers and 1615 Corporation for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.")
