Schenk <br />City Attorney, City of Paris <br />PO Box 9037 <br />Paris, Teacas 75461-9037 <br />Re: Proposal for Delinquent Taac Collections for City of Paris <br />Dear Mr. Schenk: <br />Please find following a proposal from my Firm, along with our local counsel, Mr. <br />Bob Scott, for delinquent taac collection services to be provided to the City of Pazis. Our <br />Firm has been in the delinquent tax business since 1970, we haue over 1,000 taxing <br />jurisdictions as clients across the State of Texas, and we have eight fully staffed law <br />offices employing over one hundred sixty-five employees and professional staff. <br />Our law Fum offers the City of Paris several advantages over our competitors. <br />You will note on the front of our proposal that we are associated with Mr. Bob Scott. <br />Bob maintains his office in Greenville, but lives in Pazis, and is able to bring his local <br />expertise to our contract with yow City. Bob's participation in our project not only <br />provides you a local contact for property taac concerns, it also allows us to be immediately <br />familiaz with local hardships, or taacpayers that aze able to pay, but simply refuse to pay <br />their taaces. Bob is also the Attorney for the City of Greenville, and is uniquely awaze of <br />the needs for cities such as yours. <br />Although we are compassionate and fair in our dealings with the City's delinquent <br />taxpayers, I think you will aLso find we aze diligent in assisting taxpayers to realize their <br />obligation to pay their delinquency. Our communications will be professional - time has <br />shown that taxpayers are more inclined to pay if they aze treated fairly and respectfixlly. <br />We have found that we can obtain a higher rate of collection when we help the taxpayer <br />through effective and consistent communication. We aze an ethical law firm with an <br />unquestioned reputation for integrity. Our law firm will never bring embarrassment to <br />your City. <br />AMARILLO • ARLINGTON 9 AUSTIN • HOUSTON • LUBBOCK • MIDLAND • TYLER • WICHITA FALLS <br />
