The Traveling HFC, a Texas property-tax absolving vehicle that's been adopted en masse by distressed syndicators, agency lenders and a cottage industry of consultants, nonprofits and attorneys, is officially dead: Gov. Abbott signed the most extreme version (HB21) of an HFC-killing bill into law yesterday. Huge implications for lenders, syndicators (Tides, S2, Post Investment, dozens of others) and LPs, with a wave of distress expected. And potentially another wave of litigation coming to challenge the law.

It seems you're referencing a significant development in Texas property tax law, specifically the elimination of the HFC (Housing Finance Corporation) loophole through HB21, signed by Governor Abbott. This change is expected to have major repercussions for various stakeholders, including lenders, syndicators, and LPs, as it removes a widely used tax-avoidance mechanism. The fallout could lead to increased financial distress among those who relied on this vehicle, as well as potential litigation challenging the new law.
