As tax season ramps up across Harris County, families in Nottingham Country have a nearby opportunity to save money and reduce stress. Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones, in partnership with AARP, is offering free tax preparation assistance for the 2026 tax season, with one of the key locations conveniently hosted at Radack Community Center on Clay Road.

For many local households — especially seniors, working families, and residents on fixed incomes — professional tax preparation fees can add up quickly. This free service aims to help residents avoid unnecessary costs, maximize eligible tax credits, and ensure accurate filings while keeping more hard-earned dollars in their pockets.

Free Tax Help at Radack Community Center in West Harris County

For residents in Nottingham Country, the Radack Community Center (18650 Clay Road, Houston, TX 77084) offers a close-to-home option for tax preparation assistance.

Dates & Time

• Saturdays through March 28
• 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The service is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and no registration is required. Assistance is provided in both English and Spanish, helping ensure accessibility for Harris County’s diverse communities.

Located just minutes from many neighborhoods in northwest Harris County, Radack Community Center serves as a familiar gathering place for community programs, senior activities, and civic engagement — making it a natural hub for this type of support during tax season.

Why This Matters for Families and Seniors in Nottingham Country

As the cost of living continues to rise across Houston and Harris County, many households are looking for ways to stretch their budgets. Filing taxes correctly can unlock important benefits such as:

• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
• Child Tax Credit
• Credits for seniors and retirees
• Recovery of missed stimulus-related benefits, if applicable

For seniors on fixed incomes, accurate filing can help avoid costly mistakes. For working families, maximizing available credits can mean extra funds for groceries, utilities, childcare, or home expenses.

By bringing this service directly into the community, Precinct 4 is helping reduce barriers to trusted tax preparation support — particularly for residents who may not otherwise seek professional assistance.
