it's a municipal road bond. Harris County, TX

we're talking about $20,000

method of extraction really doesn't bother me. i knew this was a potential option, but i wasn't expecting it so soon. trying to handle in most fiscal way possible for my mom and myself.

for clarification, compadre from 1996 or 1997?

1997

Did you buy your bond thru a broker? If so you can sell your holding based on the current market and possibly have a capital gains tax. If your bond is not thru a broker you would need to contact the municipality or trustee directly and their would be tax implications (i.e. early withdrawal penalties)

Full Disclosure: I am not a broker but am highly involved in various bond projects we have done to finance hospital expansion.
