4.2 Million Property Tax Defaults

By Mitchell Vexler, February 17, 2026


Real Estate Mindset’s Travis Spencer released a video on February 14, 2026, titled, FIGHT TO END PROPERTY TAX – Rally to City Council. Here’s a link to it. As part of this video, Travis discusses that there are currently 4.2 million property tax defaults.


Statement: This video at Conroe city council lays bare the treatment of business that I have seen throughout my career all the way back to Windsor Ontario Canada and have witnessed in almost every City I have developed a project. This Conroe video is not just specific to Conroe. There is a very high probability that the Institutionalized Systemic Moral Hazard that infects Conroe is also in your community and why every taxpayer needs to get involved and shine the light on their local fraud before it is too late and your community ends up vacant and derelict. See the article, Municipal Bankruptcy.


History: There is a Pattern and Practice of socialist behavior by intentionally creating winners and losers based on politicians personal bias, animus, and ignorance, including but not limited to extortion, fraud, RICO, violation of Civil Rights USC 1863 (see the City of Conroe meeting video link above), embezzlement, and knowingly creating and accepting false reports. Tampering with Government documents is illegal under various laws, including 18 U.S.C. § 641, which prohibits the theft or alteration of government property, and 18 U.S.C. § 1519, which addresses the destruction or falsification of records in federal investigations.


The Texas Penal Code § 37.10 defines a person committing the offense of Tampering with Governmental Records as follows:

  • knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, a governmental record;
  • makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record;
  • intentionally destroys, conceals, removes, or otherwise impairs the verity, legibility, or availability of a governmental record;
  • makes, presents, or uses a governmental record with knowledge of its falsity;

Property Tax Dollars have been used to support school district bonds which is the weapon against all Citizens. These same corrupt bonds are not used to enhance communities or business but end up destroying those businesses and individuals from within the corrupt system. The system allows overvaluation and over taxation from which corrupt city councils, like Conroe, take your money and move it around the board, including into their personal pockets, under the color of law, only to end up destroying the very businesses and people that originally created the wealth for the benefit of society. The end result is the simultaneous destruction of both the fabric of that community and the businesses that drive that community.


Community Involvement: Your involvement is no longer an option; it’s a requirement. Roughly 42,000,000 households across the U.S. are in harm’s way of bankruptcy and or will lose the roof over their head due to the property tax fraud and school district bond fraud. The unity among thieves, where they protect each other, further expanding the fraud, must be replaced with unity among the citizens wherein only a watchful eye can prohibit the thievery we are all witnessing. The best grass roots efforts are those assembled locally with very little money, if any, wherein the goal is outlined in writing with clarity and consistency of voice.


Look at the charts in the  Amicus Brief.


The Importance of the Vexler case to Texas and the United States shows exactly how under color of law the system has morphed, by intent, over many years to prohibit adjudication of the black letter of the law, putting all Citizens in harms way of socialist policies.

  5. We Live in the World of Fraud and Fraudsters – How to Protect Yourself

 

It is your money and your future. Leaving decisions up to criminals who sit on city councils, school district boards, CAD boards, and their corrupt employees, who refuse to adhere to the black letter of the law and who believe, without evidence, that they are smarter than their constituents, is not under any circumstance in your best interest or the best interest of your family. The school district bond debt cannot be paid off, and the compound-cumulative interest on that debt has, according to the criminals, been transferred to you!

NY Federal Reserve reported US household debt reached $18.8 Trillion in Q4 2025, up 1% ($191 Billion) from previous qtr. We are at the end, where the compound interest on top of the compounded fraudulent debt cannot be paid down or off. The math is the math... socialism ends when you run out of other people's money.
