The entire board of the Montgomery Central Appraisal District needs to resign…….

Public records uncovered at the tax collector’s office show that over the course of several years, while sitting as Vice-Chairman on the MCAD Board of Directors, Montgomery County Judge, Alan Sadler, allowed the property taxes to become and remain delinquent on 39+ acres of land that was transferred by his father, Dr. Deane Sadler, in 1990 to the judge’s  “alter-ego” corporate entity, Sadler Development Corp,  (Click to See) 

We’re not talking a lot of money here, just a lot of arrogance.

I just want to point out right here that this tax delinquency has absolutely nothing to do with the previously reported $25,000 USA Oilfield tax delinquency (which still remains unpaid). Except that these Sadler Development taxes were also for the same tax years, 2003, 2004, 2005 (and additionally 2001, 2002 and 2006)!  (Click to See)

Judge Sadler remaining in his position of power and influence on that board (over the course of those several years) flies directly in the face of the Texas Tax Code, Section 6.035 -Restrictions On Eligibility And Conduct Of Board Members And Chief Appraisers And Their Relatives.  (Click to Read “B” Class Misdemeanor)

Take a look at 3 examples of who the other MCAD board members were during that time?  (Click to See) 

Oops, there’s the tax collector, J. R. Moore, Jr. (or would it be more accurate to call him the tax NON-COLLECTOR ?)

The very same J.R. Moore, Jr., who was so quick to respond here earlier this year attempting to convince the public that he doesn’t do official tax “favors” for the rich and powerful in this county. That he treats every account the same. That he follows the laws. That he doesn’t let his buddy  “tax scofflaws” “skate” on their delinquent taxes.  He failed.  I wasn’t convinced.  Is anybody?

So, why didn’t the Chairman, Mr. John Wiesner, or any of the other crony-minded members of the MCAD board do their duty and oust Judge Sadler as year after year passed with these tax delinquencies either being included in monthly delinquency reports (or covered-up?).  And, why, at each of  the other taxing unit’s monthly board meetings during these several years, when Sadler Development Corp. repeatedly showed up on the monthly tax collector’s Delinquency Report (which is required by law to be furnished by J. R. Moore), didn’t the taxing unit’s boards STOP casting their yearly votes for Judge Sadler to continue sitting on the MCAD board of directors while these taxes remained delinquent?  Can anyone say, “Good ole boys”?

What helps to paint the picture for us that Mr. Moore maybe has the propensity for doing official favors is the very timely postings on this website in the last couple of days of one of Mr. Moore’s own tax office managers who “blew the whistle” on Moore’s version of events (in the Eissler tax delinquency postings) on this website.

 That’s right, Monitor member “tacky” has been busy doing the public (and hopefully the prosecutors) the favor of posting information (over in the Forum section of this site under “Tax Office”) from what she claims is her personal knowledge of events at Moore’s tax office.  Information, I might add, that has left Moore’s explanation of his handling of the Eissler tax records in shreds along with any veracity he hoped to garner by posting his mostly outlandish story here to begin with.  Mr. Moore has rapidly lost credibility and is looking more and more like a liar to me. A man that I don’t think I will ever again take at his word.

Back to Sadler Development Corporation and the four years (2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007) that Mr. Moore did nothing to foreclose the Sadler Development Corp. tax liens.  Don’t be fooled if the Judge or any of his crony mouthpieces tries to sweep this outrage under the rug by claiming that he didn’t actually “own” the property that the taxes were delinquent on.  There’s a concept in judicial doctrine called the “Alter-Ego Theory”.  (Click to Read About).  

I’m sure that the county collection lawyers at Linebarger know it well as it is often an issue in tax collection lawsuits. Why didn’t Linebarger do their job in this matter? Is it because they are “aligned” with the tax collector and his powerful buddies, as Ms. Kaye Brouse’s seemingly legally negligent musings have hinted at here in the Forum section of this website in recent days?  In my opinion, Judge Sadler’s development corporation is a classic example of the alter-ego theory.

Try finding any business information or news on Sadler Development Corporation on the internet. You won’t. That’s only part of the reason I believe the company is merely the Judge’s “alter-ego” operating only under a guise of separate legal liability.

Also, Judge Sadler is and always has been the ONLY listed officer of the corporation. He lists himself on official records (Click to See) as the only Director and the President, Vice-President., Secretary and Treasurer.  Being the only officer and the only shareholder is cited in many tax suits as the first part of the legal “formula” for finding that a corporation is not legally separate, but one and the same entity as its’ owner/operator (thus, the alter-ego label).  The courts don’t traditionally look kindly upon individuals who use a separate legal entity for the purpose of “evading” personal responsibility for taxes (or any other legal debts and liabilities).

The Registered business office of Sadler Development Corp. is also listed at Sadler’s home on Jake Pearson Rd in official public records. He also lists himself as the Registered Agent for the Corporation. This indicates that Sadler Development mail (legal and otherwise) flows to him and through him personally. Being solely responsible for management of daily operations of the corporation is yet another part of the “formula” for ascertaining alter-ego theory.

Other public records that I have found in the name of Sadler Development Corporation mostly relate in the past decade to two parcels of land (one of them being the 39+ acres) that were titled in the corporation’s name and then used and re-used as collateral for obtaining mostly “sweetheart” terms on “insider” loans from local banks, one of which Judge Sadler is a Director of (Click to See) and one of which his father was a Director of.

I would think that a bank would be more than a little concerned to learn of their “interest” in a loan being compromised by the taxes on “collateralized” land being allowed to not only become delinquent but then arrogantly allowed to languish at the tax office as the borrower extends and re-extends the loan leaving the collateral vulnerable to “superior” lien foreclosure.  But then of course, this was the revered judge’s land and this was his pal’s tax office,  so………….maybe the bank doesn’t have any problem with it.  Can anyone say, “Good Ole Boys”?

Readers will see that Sadler Development Corporation’s property tax account history at J. R. Moore’s office reflects “alleged” final payment of these delinquent taxes in mid-2007. (Click to See) 

Should the public believe the taxes were actually paid or that they were merely “written off” the books as a favor for the Judge?  How do we know what to believe?  I only know what “I” believe (until someone “proves” otherwise).

So, should the public believe the entire Board of MCAD will resign for dereliction of duty and complicity in allowing Judge Sadler to remain on the board while in violation of the Tax Code?  Demand it.

Until next time……..
