Larson is particularly on point on taxation and public schools. While backing a cap on local jurisdictions’ ability to raise property taxes, he says this will not stop rising property taxes because, even at a 2.5 percent cap, taxes will rise.

He would like the state’s share of funding for public schools to increase from its current 37 percent or so to 50 percent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lmtonline.com/opinion/editorials/article/Larson-deserves-GOP-nomination-12580290.php?utm_campaign=hptexas|title=Larson deserves GOP nomination|publisher=''Laredo Morning Times'' reporting on ''The San Antonio Express-News'' endorsement of Larson|date=February 11, 2018|accessdate=February 16, 2018}}</ref></blockquote>
