What is Recapture?

Recapture is part of Texas’ school finance system, also known as “Robin Hood.” Under state law, school districts that are considered property-wealthy are required to send a portion of their local property tax revenue to the state.

G-PISD is subject to recapture and is projected to have a recapture obligation of approximately $27.1 million for the 2026–27 school year.
