Year by Year

Every year we hold for the portfolio, all counties together. The final value is after litigation where a case went to district court. District-court appeals for 2026 are still pending, so the 2026 figures are the protest results alone.

Portfolios

One agreement. Every county. Every year.

Own property in more than one county? One Appointment of Agent per property and one agreement cover the lot. Fortress Tax Defense files in every county you own in, argues every hearing, and takes the ones worth taking to district court, under the same fee arrangement. You deal with an owner of Fortress Tax Defense, the attorney handling your portfolio, start to finish.

Attorneys

Texas attorneys handle your protest

Your case is prepared and argued by licensed Texas attorneys — not a call center, not a form-filler.

ARB → Court

Protest and district court, one fee arrangement

If we believe there are still possible savings after the Appraisal Review Board protest, we can file in district court under the same fee arrangement. A tax consultant can’t file that suit. Attorneys can.

0%

Fee if we don’t win
