No one is "forced to pay" any tax, they are all indirect- and the property one is not personal, its just a lien on the parcel. Pay it or dont: the only consequence is that the lien grows. And...in some states, after enough years have passed, there could be an auction of the lot.
But not in Texas...

The functional ability to charge this tax is based on registration. Properties that are not registered are not taxed- there is no such thing as "random taxation", a "decree from on high".
Also there are exemptions that may be claimed even for otherwise taxable property.
At some point, people enrolled their properties in this tax lien system and the question now is how to get the property out.
(think it's called the "torrens lien system", after a 'james torrens' in maybe australia)
Its not a Constitutional or political question. Thi is why the "libertarian ideology" is actually a masonic dead-end: it's based on a false premise of "things just magically happen", so people waste time trying to change them, magically, through voting-spells and whatnot.
Its like complaining about high prices at one supermarket yet continuing to shop there. (kvetching... oy vey!)
