In order to receive a homestead exemption for property tax purposes, applicants must now provide a copy of their Texas driver’s license or TX state-issued identification card & a copy of their vehicle registration receipt.  The addresses on these must  be the same address as the homestead exemption.  If no vehicle you are required to submit a notarized affidavit certifying that fact & provide a copy of a current utility company bill.  Again the address has to be the same as the property for the homestead exemption.  This applies to all exemptions:  over-65, disability, 100% disabled veteran, extension of exemption for a surviving spouse & exemption for a manufactured (mobile) home.  Documentation will need to be provided for these exemptions.     www.smithcad.org         will soon have these exemption forms on line.
