Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, L.L.P. Violate military personnels rights
Texas is home to tens of thousands of military families. The law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, L.L.P. Handles the collection of property taxes for the majority of Texas taxing entities. It seems that Linebarger believes itself to be above the law when it comes to its collection practices. Its even willing to violate state and federal law affording protection, entitlements, and deferments to military personnel and their families.

They claim they sued me because they did not have everything in place. Quite surprising for a professional firm whose collection contract with Harris County expires on December and the Texas law giving military personnel rights regarding property taxes was passed in 2003. I guess Linebarger was waiting for the contract to expire before having everything in place.
If you are in the military, contact your taxing authority or the appraisal district and request the military waiver and deferments you are entitled to under Texas Property Tax Code, Section 31.02 and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
