READ THE JAW-DROPPING DETAILS UNCOVERED IN PUBLIC RECORDS AND REVEALED HERE

I recently received a “tip” regarding delinquent taxes (in an amount over $22,000) connected to Texas District 15 Representative, Rob Eissler from the Woodlands.

HERE’S THE SCOOP…….

Yes, Mr. Eissler turns out to be a tax scofflaw like other high profile politicians recently in the news.Investigation of public records reveal that Mr. Eissler and his wife, Linda have two companies, Intruder, Inc. (set up in 1999 to put the commercial property at 26214 Oak Ridge Dr into it’s name) and W. Robert Eissler & Associates, Inc., Eissler’s executive recruiting business set up in 1983. (Click to see)

As far as Intruder, Inc. is concerned, there ARE delinquent property taxes in its’ name in the amount of either $22,000+ or $16,000+ (depending on which assessor figures you believe).

To further explain……..when I was first “tipped” to a delinquent tax account connected to Mr. Eissler, I went to the tax assessor/collector website on June 15th and printed the tax “history” page of the Intruder, Inc. property account, showing the total taxes that were delinquent. The total amount due on that day was $22,843.31 (Click to see)

Then, on June 17th, as I gathered public info to show the connection between Intruder, Inc. and Mr. Eissler, I revisited the assessor/collector’s website and was surprised to see that the total delinquency had “changed” to $16,262.74. (Click to see) My immediate thought was that Eissler must have been “tipped” that inquiries were being made about the delinquency and so he must have made a $6000+ payment on the account in the two days since I had first accessed the account on the 15th.

But no, upon closer scrutiny I saw that no new payment had been made on the account. Comparing the June 15th printout with the June 17th printout it became apparent that someone at the tax assessor J. R. Moore’s office had simply changed the Intruder, Inc. payment “history”! The changes to the account are quite suspicious as they don’t appear to follow accounting rules. Not to mention that they also make no sense. In fact, the printout on the 17th shows specific changes to the amounts paid in all four columns for the tax year 2004! More significantly, the Date of Payment (of the 2004 taxes) had been changed from 04/22/2009 to 08/12/2008, which can be seen in the highlighted areas on both printouts. The result of these “changes” benefit Mr. Eissler by lowering the total delinquency on the account by $6580.57.

Looking at the June 15th printout, one has to ask did Mr. Eissler make a payment of the 2004 taxes in the originally posted amount of $3950.41 on 4/22/09 or didn’t he? And if he did NOT, then please explain (Mr. ‘Tax Collector’ Moore) why the account has reflected for months that he did. And “if” you expect the public to believe (now) that he actually paid the 2004 taxes in the “changed” amount of $9138.40 on 8/12/08 (as reflected on the June 17th printout) please step forward and publicly address this suspicious activity on the Intruder, Inc. account. How do you get confused about the date of a payment on an account? You either got paid on a certain date…..or you didn’t. And you either got paid a certain amount…..or you didn’t. Taxpayers would like to know what prompted you to make a change at this specific point in time that “backdates” a payment and ends up “benefiting” Mr. Eissler to the tune of over $6000.00 almost a year after it was allegedly made?

There are other discrepancies in payments listed on the Intruder, Inc. account that are noted on the June 17th printout. (Click to see Notes) As you’ll notice, the purported “partial” paid amounts for the individual tax years of 2004, 2006, 2007 & 2008, do not appear to adhere to the tax code section regarding options available to taxpayers for split or partial payments of their property taxes.

Me and the rest of the “gullible” taxpaying public sure wish we could pay our taxes like the Eisslers appear to, in any amount they wish at any time they wish. In addition to the unconventional payment amounts, there are Penalty and Interest charges for the year 2000, in spite of the fact that the Paid Date reflects those taxes being paid timely on January 31st of 2001, which means there should NOT be any penalties or Interest assessed! So why would we believe a record that shows that Mr. Eissler’s company paid over $300.00 in Penalty & Interest for tax year 2000 when those taxes were alleged on this “history” to have been paid timely?

Also the 2003 and 2005 tax years show Paid Dates of Nov. 10, 2005 and Dec. 20, 2006 respectively, well beyond the date of July 1st (which is the official date, by law, when unpaid taxes would begin to accrue 20% Legal fees) and yet there is NO “Legal” amount, charged or paid, for either of these delinquent payments on this history record. Why is that, Mr. Moore? Have the numbers been “manipulated” to such a degree that no one in your office even knows the true amount due or paid, or the dates actually paid or the actual total delinquency now due on this account? That’s the way it looks. A State Auditor should be asking you, “when is the last time your office actually “balanced” it’s books” (without “forced” Journal Entries)? I suspect the answer is, “never”!

By the way, Mr. Moore has seen fit to follow the Appraisal District’s lead by posting on his website the same long “disclaimer” warning the public about not being able to rely on the accuracy of the info provided there. We have been WARNED. Experience dictates that we not blindly believe any record from this tax assessor/collector.

The specific questionable changes to Intruder, Inc.’s account, that were made during the two day interim between my website visits, are not the only ones like it that I have discovered at the tax office. Other Public Information I have at my disposal (that I will share with readers in my next article here) indicates that Mr. Moore’s official tax assessor/collector records are to be disbelieved until proven correct. I will share records that appear to expose not only “misconduct” in his official capacity but also what I believe is further proof of a propensity for “tampering” with the official government records he is currently elected to maintain.

Once again I find myself asking, “why hasn’t Mr. J.R. Moore seized Intruder, Inc.’s, Oak Ridge Drive property to sell it on the courthouse steps for the taxes due? Is anybody betting that Mr. Moore will do such a thing to Mr. Eissler’s property? Not on your life! I guess we don’t have to ask how Mr. Eissler can be so sure that the local tax collector (who is a member of the Appraisal District Board of Directors) won’t just foreclose the tax lien on that property and sell it out from under him on the courthouse steps for the delinquent tax amount (whatever the real amount is). Can someone say, “Good Old Boys”?

Another most pertinent fact……Secretary of State records indicate that both Intruder, Inc. and W. Robert Eissler & Associates, Inc.’s corporate charters were “forfeited” by the state over six years ago for (surprise) NOT filing required tax reports and/or NOT paying taxes, penalties or interest due. (Click to see Public Docs) As of a couple of days ago, the Eisslers had done nothing (on the public record) to re-activate either corporate charter. This leads a reasonable person to be able to conclude that both of these entities have NO active coporate charter nor the right to use symbols of incorporation or to operate in this state under either of those two names.

That fact, about the current lack of an active corporate charter for Intruder, Inc., is a very important “detail” for the Eissler’s creditors (including the IRS). Under the law, the Oak Ridge Dr. property, if owned by a corporation, would not be seizable for Mr. Eissler’s personal debts…..but the same asset (currently valued at over $400,000.00) if not protected by a corporate “veil” is indeed seizable for the owner’s debts. You can bet Mr. Eissler and his creditors know this facet of the law. What the creditors may not know is that ownership of the Oak Ridge Dr. property appears to NOT be vested in a legal corporation any longer. It is normal procedure for creditors to look for seizable assets by searching property ownership rolls of the local appraisal districts.

Maybe Mr. Eissler has kept the appraisal district in the dark about this “non-corporate ownership” of the property on Oak Ridge Drive or maybe the appraisal district does know that Intruder, Inc. is no longer chartered in this state and they are doing Mr. Eissler a “personal” favor by keeping the property listed as being owned by a corporation to help him defraud creditors into believing that the Oak Ridge Drive property is not seizable for his MANY debts. (Click to see Appraisal docs)

Speaking of MANY debts, Mr. Eissler, his wife, Linda (who is his business partner according to public records) and their other “forfeited” corporation, W. Robert Eissler & Associates, Inc., currently have five (5) active Federal Tax Liens filed against them at the clerk’s office. The aggregate amount owing on these five liens is over $116,000.00. (Click to see)

As a matter of fact, since 1981 the Eisslers and their two companies have had a combined seven (7) Federal Tax Liens, four (4) State Tax Liens, two (2) Mechanics Liens and five (5) Community Association Liens filed against them! That is eighteen (18) Liens actually filed. Records Indicate that only eleven (11) of these have ever been “released” or paid, as the case may be. And don’t forget to add the aforementioned Oak Ridge Dr. tax delinquency to this abhorrent record of non-payment!

And I confess that I have not checked public records for liens in Travis County where Mr. Eissler, in 2008, set up a second business office for his executive recruiting business, which he is currently calling by the slightly different name of either Eissler & Associates or Eissler & Associates, “Inc.” (depending on which records you look at). Neither of these two names were found registered as corporations at the Secretary of State either.

And on that same subject…….Intruder, Inc. having a forfeited charter and Eissler & Associates, Inc. apparently not ever being registered as a corporation, causes Mr. Eissler’s 2007 “Personal Financial Statement” filed on 2/11/2008, to look like one big perjured compilation of fantasy information. I would bring readers attention to this form’s last page which is an Affadavit attesting to the “correctness and truthfulness” of all the information in it which is duly signed and “sworn to” by Mr. Eissler, under penalty of PERJURY. (Click to see doc) I would also note that Mr. Eissler refers eighteen (18) separate times on numerous pages of this form to Intruder,”Inc.” and Eissler & Associates,”Inc”, as if they are legally active corporations (which the public record refutes). These two entities are named by Mr. Eissler in sections of this form under Assets, Liabilities, Income, Ownership Interest, Employment, Stock and Executive Positions Held. In my humble opinion, this man, with his degree from Princeton, knows full well that each and every time he falsely uses these entity names with the abbreviation “INC.” attached to them (as a shield from his creditors) is a separate violation of the law for which he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent along with prosecution for the perjury that attesting to the truthfulness of this document certainly appears to be.

As it turns out, the Intruder, Inc. delinquent tax bill in Montgomery County that I was “tipped off” about, appears to be the least of Mr. Eissler’s “self-made” financial problems.

The first record I found of Mr. Eissler not paying taxes goes back to the mid-1980’s. That’s when the IRS filed a Federal Tax Lien, for the first time, against his corporation, W. Robert Eissler & Associates, Inc. That lien was subsequently released. The first of several State Tax Liens was filed against the same coporation in 1993.

The Woodlands Community Association also filed liens for association dues unpaid by Mr. Eissler in 1984, 1985 and 1986. (Click to see one example) The total of five association liens were also subsequently released.

Public records also show that the Eissler’s have signed a Deed of Trust transferring the Tax Lien on their homestead at 29 Coralvine Ct. in The Woodlands, not once but twice, to borrow the funds to pay their property taxes on it. The first time was in 2003 to Woodforest Bank and the second time was in 2009 to a tax lending company named Genesis Tax Solutions, Inc. headquartered in Spring, Tx. and reported to be connected to unscrupulous activities involving tax lien sales irregularities. (Click to read story)

Added to this pathetic long-time record of non-payment, we have the more current picture of Mr. and Mrs. Eissler getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar last year when the Texas Ethics Commission cited Rep. Eissler for illegally “taking” over $50,000 in campaign contributions and converting it to personal use (see article previously posted on this site). Because the two year statute of limitations had run out on most of the “ill-gotten” gain, Mr. Eissler was only required to pay back a little over $18,000 (which I could find no record of being paid back). Do records reflect that he paid any of the $116,000.00+ in Federal Tax liens with that “plundered” campaign money? Of course not. Or better yet, did he pay the delinquent “local” taxes owed on the Oak Ridge Drive property so his constituents property tax bills would be just a little smaller from not having to “carry” him on their backs? Not according to any public record I could find.

Don’t get me wrong, we can all understand and even have empathy for people getting into financial difficulty from time to time but public records show that this is not simply a “bind” Mr. Eissler’s recently gotten into. This guy, in spite of all the community accolades and awards he has garnered over the years, looks to have lived a virtually secret “lifestyle” of NOT PAYING TAXES and ASSESSMENTS over his adult lifetime and HIDING ASSETS BY WAY OF IMPROPER (if not illegal) USAGE OF “CORPORATE” NAMES. .

How can this man have ANY credibility with the taxpaying public he represents in Austin when he can’t see fit to keep his own financial house in order? Ironically, while searching the public records for this story, I stumbled across a story that praised Mr. Eissler for his, “mentoring young people in the Free Enterprise System in this country”. Heaven help us if this man is mentoring students in “his ways” of manipulating the system!

I would be hard-pressed to remember having ever come across a more disturbing example of someone who should NEVER be trusted to do the “people’s work” as their representative. It is not difficult for reasonable people to imagine that a guy who is “drowning in debt” might just agree to enter into whatever scheme or scam comes his way, hoping that it will help him pay his way out of his enormous tax debts. Debts, by the way, that can NOT be extinguished in bankruptcy.

In this challenging economy the voters have enough to be concerned about without having to worry that someone will come along and try bribing this man to introduce a “bill” that would benefit those offering the bribe! Heck, we would never know if this has already happened. My personal conclusion is that this type of “deadbeat” we don’t need in the legislature. There are enough “favors” being done in Austin. Hopefully this man won’t have the chance to run as an incumbent next election cycle.

Until next time………Maxxbuster

***LAST MINUTE NOTE****

Just prior to posting this story here, I did a final check of the tax assessor’s records and it turns out that I was correct in my suspicion that the June 17th printout of Intruder, Inc’s tax “history” was not to be believed! Mr. Moore’s office has actually changed it again. Someone has posted a third version of when the 2004 taxes were paid along with the third different version (in just 10 days time) of the amounts paid! This time the changes reflect an additional benefit of $1319.98 for Mr. Eissler. Now the total delinquency is alleged to be $14942.76! Go to the site and look for yourself……..of course the figures may just continue to change until the entire delinquency is wiped out completely. What is this guy trying to do? Manipulate the total due on this account so it finally matches the amount of $5,000 – $9,999 reportedly owed to Montgomery County and attested to by Mr. Eissler in his 2007 “Personal Financial Statement” in Part 11B titled Liabilities of Business Associations. Can anyone say CYA??
