I have bad news, good news, and what you can do about it…
A bullet point summary is below. Get full details & video on my website here.
  • A data security failure at the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) has caused private taxpayer information to be exposed on the internet, including photocopies of driver's licenses, possibly social security numbers, and bank account info.

    • An internal investigation was opened, but the TAD Board chairman announced they were closing the investigation without plans to inform affected taxpayers and without interviewing all the TAD staff who were blowing the whistle.
  • Three board members (including the chairman), who have a track record of bad decisions and sweeping major issues under the rug, are being replaced next month by newly elected board members.

    • These same lame-duck board members are trying to rush hiring a chief appraiser before they leave office on Dec. 31 instead of allowing the newly elected board to make the hire.
Here's what you can do:
  • Share this info with neighbors and everywhere online
  • Attend board meetings (2500 Handley Ederville Rd, Fort Worth)
    • Dec. 14, (9 am at TAD) the board will be interviewing chief appraiser candidates.
    • Dec. 21, (time TBD at TAD) the board plans to select and name the new chief appraiser.
  • Email the board members to urge them to let the new board hire the chief appraiser: Tony.Pompa@tadbod.org, JR.Martinez@tadbod.org, Jungus.Jordan@tadbod.org, Vince.Puente@tadbod.org, Rich.DeOtte@tadbod.org

But I'm sure there's nothing untoward in their appraisals though

Earlier this week, I let you know TAD was not telling you the truth about a security failure that exposed taxpayers' personal and private data on the internet.
You responded and they listened!
TAD had a 9-hour board meeting and emerged with an official statement confirming everything I told you is true.
Read their official statement and watch a short video I recorded to share my thoughts:

Your support means the world to me!

Thank you,

The Board's representation claims there's no evidence that anything was compromised but also says they need to finish an investigation. So reassuring
