Our Firm has been in the delinquent tax business since 1970, we haue over 1,000 taxing jurisdictions as clients across the State of Texas, and we have eight fully staffed law offices employing over one hundred sixty-five employees and professional staff. Our law Fum offers the City of Paris several advantages over our competitors. You will note on the front of our proposal that we are associated with Mr. Bob Scott. Bob maintains his office in Greenville, but lives in Pazis, and is able to bring his local expertise to our contract with yow City. Bob's participation in our project not only provides you a local contact for property taac concerns, it also allows us to be immediately familiaz with local hardships, or taacpayers that aze able to pay, but simply refuse to pay their taaces. Bob is also the Attorney for the City of Greenville, and is uniquely awaze of the needs for cities such as yours. Although we are compassionate and fair in our dealings with the City's delinquent taxpayers, I think you will aLso find we aze diligent in assisting taxpayers to realize their obligation to pay their delinquency. Our communications will be professional - time has shown that taxpayers are more inclined to pay if they aze treated fairly and respectfixlly. We have found that we can obtain a higher rate of collection when we help the taxpayer through effective and consistent communication. We aze an ethical law firm with an unquestioned reputation for integrity. Our law firm will never bring embarrassment to your City. AMARILLO • ARLINGTON 9 AUSTIN • HOUSTON • LUBBOCK • MIDLAND • TYLER • WICHITA FALLS All of our services to you aze performed at no cost to the City. We are compensated by a statutory collection penatty that is paid by the delinquent taxpayer. We maintain a toll free telephone number to our office should you, or your Tax Collector, need to contact us to discuss any aspect of our collection activity. Our proposal to you details our Firm's proven capabilities in handling delinquent tax collections. We have presented meaningful collection statistics in our proposal which aze "apples to apples" comparisons. When we measure our Fnm's perforniance for our clients, we use a comparison of base taxes collected compared to base tarces collected by the competing fum or office. We use base taxes, exclusive of penakies and interest, as these amounts provide a more accurate measure of ineeting your budgetary needs. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to you and the City of Paris. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 800-262- 5404, or anyone else in my Fnm.

First, our successful collection rates. Our thirty-one years of experience (specializing in the collection of delinquent taxes) have provided us with the understanding of what it takes to maximize the collections for our clients. Allow us to discuss our collection rates in person and how we can succeed for you; it is simply impossible to appreciate our effectiveness on paper. Second, we have no conflicts of interest with The City of Paris. We do not represent taxpayers, financial institutions, or other clients that could raise conflict problems. Our practice covers ad valorem tax collection matters, eacclusively. We believe that when we aze hired, our priority is to collect delinquent taxes. Third, we are a people oriented fum. We staff our firm with employees who display an active and genuine interest in working with people. Our staff makes the difference between our firm and other law firms. We know our clients and we aze known by the professional tax community. Our firm has an eacellent reputatiou and is committed to keeping a professionai and ethical reputation. Our belief is that our reputation and actions have a direct relationship with those of our clients; we will never do anything which will cause your citizens to question your judgment in hiring ow firm. Fourth, we keep all of your DistricYs taxes on our computer system at all times. We do not just load tapes for mail outs and dump the records afterwards.

We track pending legislation and keep our clients informed of significam legislative issues affecting them. We assist in drafting legislation that our clients need and we aid in the passage of legislation.

We are the second largest law firm in our field of practice. Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott L.L.P. provides ad valorem tax collection services to over twelve-hundred (1,200) clients. Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott, L.L.P., is one of the oldest and largest law firms in Texas dedicated to ad valorem tax collections and related matters. Founded in 1970, the firm has grown to a staff of thirty-two attomeys and operates eight fully staffed law offices in different cities statewide. We represent over twelve-hundred (1,200) taacing entities consisting of school districts, cities, counties, hospital districts, and special districts. Our clients range in size from several thousand to just eight delinquent tax accounts. Whether measured in number of delinquent tax accounts or the total amount of base delinquent tax due, we work hard to give the best Perdae, BnNdon, fielder, coiwo a representa.rion to each client regardless of size. Our staff of attorneys Mm `ep`e°b °re` °w6°"'"d (I,000) tWn6 en66n and callectr.d have an excess of 200 3'ears combined experience in ad valorem tarcation more $ vo miwm ro aeinqu.t and are capable of dealing with a wide range of legal issues and mm kst rar. problems conceming delinquent tax collections. We also have a well trained staff of tax support personnel and an in-house computer department which stays on the leading edge of technology. We collected over $90,000,000 in delinquent taaces last year. The Arlington office of Perdue, Brandpq Fielder, Collins & Mott, L.L.P., established in 1973, has one of the lazgest legal staffs of all of the firm's offices. The seven attomeys comprising the legal talent of this office make up one of the largest ad valorem tax legal teams in North Teacas. Your District has the benefit of having access to these seven attomeys as well as all tlrirty-two of our attomeys statewide to answer any unique ad valorem tax problems that the District may encounter. As you read through the following pages of this proposal, you will see several things that set us apart from the other law firms presenting proposals to you. Our fum is dedicated to providing your District the very best in ad valorem tax collections while trearing your taxpayers professionally and courteously. We aze an aggressive law firm which offers your District complete and total representation in all ad valorem tax matters. Our computer system allows us to maintain a pazallel tax roll - keeping oa~ 3rium m~ rotl~ aawet witA a minimum ot usisaice an exact copy of your outstanding delinQuent tax accounts on our Irom rour Tu Ofice personneL system at all times. You can call any time to check on an account. Other firms simply keep your taxes on their systems when they mail out notices, deleting them to make room for other districts when necessary. knion 11 - Daaiption o( Uw Fem - Pan S Our parallel tax roll also allows our staff to work your account without constant help from the Tax Office. When we put your tax roll on our computer system, the computer will automatically combine those accounts that have the same owner. This enables our firm to file one lawsuit on a delinquent taxpayer and include all of his property; rather than filing multiple lawsuits. This advantage saves the court's time and saves the delinquent taacpayer money; money which can be devoted to paying your taxes faster. Should you or your tax collector have a question, you can call to speak to an attorney at our office at any time. You will also see our attomeys on a regulaz basis while they work alongside your tax office in the collection of delinquent taxes. We are the only law firm to have its own in-house tide reseazch Ounajdins computer aqbiGtia department. We absttact each piece of property in suit and keep a permanent record of the title work on our computer system. This gives us greater reliability when taking judgment on a piece of property because we are able to verify ownership and keep verifying ownership right up to the date of trial. Abstracting the delinquent real property accourrts often results in payment of the delinquent tvices prior to a lawsuit being filed. What We Do Each tax yeaz begins on or about July 1 as the current delinquent tax rolls are transferred to our computer from our client's computer. We load your tax roll onto our computer system and maintain a parallel tax roll at all times. This "parallel roll" is an identical copy of the delinquent tax roll maintained by your tax collector. We are the only firm that maintains this parallel roll at all rimes. After loading your tax roll, we analyze the delinquent accounts so that we may formulate a plan for aggressively collecting your district's taxes. The following charts (Arlington I.S.D. is used as an example) reflect the different measures that we continually make to the clienYs delinquent tax roll. By systematically examining the condition of a District's delinquent tax roll, we aze able to target specific azeas for collection activity. This also gives us the capability to conrinuously track our collection performance and maintain a high collection rate on your behalf. The following chart shows $4,328,887 in lawsuits. The dollar figure for accounts in bankruptcy on the date listed total$2,684,825.

Tlvs chart shows that 62% of the delinquent tax roll is in lawsuit, judgnent or bankruptcy. Within the lawsuit stage ofthe collection process, there are several phases from the initial filing of the lawsuit to judgment and ultimately, to tax sale. We endeavor to obtain voluntary payment of the delinquent taxes at every step of the collecrion process. The chart below reflects how the total delinquent tax roll is broken out by dollar range of accounts due. All of the charts include the 2000 taxes that were refened for collection on July 1, 2001. All taxes shown are base taaces without penalties and interest added. This gives a true representation of collecrions. i'. SI: $6,061 .510." st+w.tse mzx N o!

We would thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss our collection rates more in-depth. It is simply impossible to appreciate our success rates for our clients on paper. When our collection rates are compared to the Linebarger firm in an apples to apples format, it is easy to see which law firm can better maximize the revenue for your district.

Bese Tuas Onty - No PenaRies aM Intwast How Senices will be Provided - Scope of Services The firm's ability to produce both large and specialized mailings as well as manage the attendant data is unequaled. Mailouts will be made pwsuant to our proposed time table, but the firm is flexible so that it is able to adjust to the schedule of the District and their Tax Office. We always call the Taat Office prior to a mailout just to be sure that the tax collector is prepared or if we need to wait until a more convenient date for the Tax Office. Our mailouts are not just summaries with a total due, but are compiete and detailed taac statements accompanied by a letter from an attorney. We also have the ability to include other forms in our mailing, if that is desired, or to mail within certain parameters, such as all accounts within a specified delinquency amount or year range. Our cornact with the taxpayer normally begins with a polite demand letter reminding the property owner of the delinquency and giving him or her on msken ue not jot suannria the opportunity to contact us about the matter. This letter is accompanied witY ia zmoen dxe, 6ut ue by our computer-produced delinquent tax statement, which can show the compkte und deaikd tu mtemn tCC011~7R1ld q 1 lldtf fl0111 iY amount due for the current month and up to three additional months. VIOMeY Payment instructions or other messages can be added to each mass mailing. This letter and statement are sent to all taxpayers, other than those in bankruptcy or prior litigation. Prior to mailing our second lettet, we will obtain paid accounts from your tax office to avoid contacting owners who have paid as a result of the first letter. Our second letter informs the taacpayer that we have previously notified him or her about the taxes due and the risk of possible legal action by failing to address the matter. Our second letter is usually sent 30 days after the first tetter. Both the schedule of mass mailings and the content of our letters are subject to approval by the client. Additional mass mailings Iarte z.d Spccukud Muliop are scheduled throughout the tax year as approved by the client. We propose that a total of three demand letters be sent in the first four months of the taac year. In addition to our demand letters, we have a number of letters to respond to specific circumstances that occur frequently. Among these are our Oer notftpa kthvs skow our firm lienholder norification letters. Title work generally reveals lienholders and name prominemry. we norify them by letter before including them as a party to the lawsuit. Collection letters always result in many phone calls from delinquent taxpayers. These are initially answered by our phone personnel who are oer marners wM ahnp be nvhhie trained to answer most common questions and concerns. Attomeys are ro ak ro zmy properry oxner in available to talk to the tazcpayer to resoive the problem and get taxes due ada to raobe anry probkm and obnio papnent o( the tua he Your District paid as quickly as possible.

SldIOR IY - SCOP! OI Stlt1C6 - P7`! I While talking with the taxpayer, ow staff wiU ask for, and usually obtain, the taxpayer's phone number, verify the address and record this information in the computer record of that taacpayer. We contact the property owners by phone as a routine part of our c► hIEPHONE collection procedures. After receiving the new files, ow attomeys make it a priority to contact the property owners who owe our clients the largest amounts of money. It is important to single out the latge accounts at this stage in order to prevent the account from being uncollectable due to lack of prompt attention. We do not address taxpayers in a threatening or rude manner. We believe that to do so would be countaproductive. We ao not e.c Mrywary personnd Our staff is always polite in their phone conversations with property just ro wMUI the prapeq owner, owners. We require such behavior of our personnel even when they p~r ttkPpm mact ue mdRid encounter hostility or rudeness from the property owner. At times proper[y 6y oor mieed permnrm:raft. owners become carried away with the situation and our personnel have been trained to let one of our attomeys handle the abusive taxpayer. Should your Taac Office encounter such situations, they have the oprion of having one of our attorneys call the property owaer to correct any misunderstandings. Address Research The firm's commitment to accuracy in contacting taxpayers is evidenced by the detailed attemion we give bad name and bad address accounts. Upon receiving the taxing district's data, the known bad name and address accounts aze diverted to our research staft' to begin name and address identification. Bad address accounts are o8en identified through retumed p~r Ows commit,,,ent to m„racy ;n mail and on those accounts we are unable to locate on pending lawsuits. coennm` tlhe hipare e eridmaA We feel that it is imperative to our success to get the notice of the 6y tAe denikd uantoa wc `he bid delinquent taxes due to each property owner owing the taxes. Therefore, aame ud addros umuna. we wnrk very hard to obtain caneot address information on all accaunts which have been retumed as bad addresses.

Perhaps the most tood tilk resprch rs the batios of important result of good title research is the location of other parties who mhe pxrin wlro mislt he might be willing to pay the tazces prior to judgment. The results of such raponsibk fa pqmt o( tk ma prior ro juddmeot work is reflected in the Petition which is filed with the Court. Listed aze all of the necessary parties to the lawsuit, including all fee holders, lienholders, abstract of judgment holders, federal tazc liens, etc. Our law fum keeps a permanent computer record of the title work that we perform on properties that are delinquent. We have found that many delinquent properties tend to be "repeat offenders". The permanent record of previously performed title work enables us to move more rapidly to collect taaces on those accounts that become delinquent in a subsequent year. The firm subscribes to an on-line title service. This service provides the firm with the same title research utilized by the major title companies in Tarrant Coucrty. In addition to providing access to the County Clerk's records (including imaging of the actual documents) it provides probate divorce and bankruptcy filings for the past twenty-four yeats. Most title searches may be completed within minutes as opposed to days when dealing with tradirionai methods of performing title searches. We utilize both in-house and contract title research. We believe that the unique advantage of subcontracting and in-house abstracting gives us the ability to detemune priorities among the requests for abstracting. Subcontracted abstracting is performed at a nominal chazge to the taxpayer rek mrud wiN ee praided to The as a cost of suit. In those cases where the cost oannot be recovered from ciry W vua u oo con ro rhe the taxpayer, the firm absorbs the cost. In-house abstracting is performed asmn. utYwe s propary dn the datrin wun m a akmn, pirue at no cost to the client. Either method of abstracting allows for updating don't hniate te au us. abstract informarion when required during the pending of a lawsuit, provides the means for quality assurance in the work performed and allows for the inclusion of a complete legai description of the property in the petition in district court. Installment Agieements Many of our clients have authorized the use of installment payment plans for property owners who owe delinquent taxes. Our firm has provided support services for those clients who use installment agreemerns, for many yeazs. The decision to utilize installment payment agreements belongs to the client. For our clients who choose to allow such agreements, we offer the following support program. S![IIOR IY - SCOP! OI StlP1C6 - Pia! 4 We work with each client to establish the limits of partial payment agreemems. These limits are usually estimated as a rounded number per ESTA611SN INSiAl1MENT PA7MENi PIAN month (say $300) for a total amount of taaces, penalties and interest range (say $2,500 to $3,000). T6is policy is then placed in a chart form for both tax office personnel and our persoznel to refer to when talking to a taxpayer. Additional limitations are then established by the taac collector, such as no agreements over one year, etc. Our personnel can generate an installment payment agreement from our cbtnputer while talking to a property owner on the telephone. T'his agreement is sent to the property owner accompanied by a computer generated cover letter which provides instructions and a complete estimated payout schedule. As long as our clients can enter the partial payments into their computer 1AAGUNG CoMPwwCE IhaTH system, the firm can track the taafpayer's compliance with the agreement AGAEEMENTS that they have made with us or the client. Each month after receiving payment information from the client, we run the partial payment report for the client. This indicates which property owners are current with their payments and which are not. For those taacpayers who are not in compliance, the system notes the last payment date and the amount in arrears. We then issue a partial payment warning letter reminding the groperty owner that they have missed a recent payment and that they must contact us and make up the difference. Our usual procedure for enforcing compliance with installment ENFOIIfING COMPWIIICE WIIN agreements is to initiate legal action if the property owner does not AcREENExis favorably respond to our letter indicating that they are one month behind in their payments. Of course, we handle each taxpayer individually and consult with the taac collector regazding the appropriate action to take on a case Gy case basis. We are the only firm that tracks compliance by taxpayers with their payment agreements. This is because we maintain the tax roll on our computer at a11 times. Other firms have to call the tax collector when a taxpayer calls in to inquire about their status. A method which some law firms use to circumvent this problem is to handle payment agreements through their own escrow accounts. Unfortunately, this creates the opportunity for mishandling of your taac revenue, delays in you getting your revenue, and other types of improprieries. Seaion IY - kope d knicn - PM 5 Legal Assistance Although every effort is made to collect the outstanding delinquent taxes through taxpayer notification, litigation remains the final effort of collection. The firm utilizes every level of the court system to represent the client in our collection efforts. The District Courts aze the primary court used for suit filing because it is onr fum provdes represe.ntW o the only court in which suits conceming real property can be filed. Our aA id nlatm tu 6MSeits u no attomeys aze experienced litigators who know their way in the court aadiaoml cost ro ie d'etrin. systems and courthouses. The County Courts At Law and the Justice of the Peace Courts are utilized for the personal property suits not meeting the jurisdictional requirements of the District Courts. The firm has a sound and established track record in its litigation efforts. Our firm will represent your District in all of its ad valorem tax lawsuits at all levels of the court system. We are extremely proud of the number of cases we have successfully litigated for ow clients at the appellate level. The firm provides representation in all ad valorem taac lawsuits at no additionai cost to the District. We believe that when you hire us, we are providing a service to you, the client, and that service is representation in all talc matters. Opinions/Memorandums As part of the firm's service to the District, we provide opinions regarding any ad valorem tax problem. These opinions are generally in writing and the fum wili follow the opinion with discussions with the Governing Body, Administrators and/or Taac Office. In addition to requested opinions, the firm has found it beneficial to advise the Clients of key judicial decisions or topics of common concern. In these instances, the firm has prepared informational letters or memorandums. Eminent Domain ((ondemnation) Upon receiving notice, the firm will file the appropriate pleading with supportive affidavits in the condemnation hearing to establish the District's lien in condemnation hearings. An attomey from the firm will be present at the Commissioner's Hearing, or any subsequent Hearings, if the proceeding is appealed, to protect the interest of the District. There is no cost to the District for this service. SMiu IY - kope o( knice - PW 6 Litigation We aze an active litigation firm. We take the initiative to identify candidates for lawsuit, obtain the client's approval, file the suits, and pwsue the suits to payment or judgment. We do not propose to wait for the tax collector to have to tell us which accounts to pursue. The following description of our litigation process is our normal approach. We will alter our procedures to suit your needs and policies. For example, some of our clients want additional notification steps taken prior to filing suit. Others limit us to filing on accounts that have been delinquent for more than one year. We will incorporate any changes that the District would like to see made. Using specially designed computer programs, our attomeys sort your tax roll by chazacteristics such as size of accourn, property type (real or personal), and status of address and title research efforts. At this stage we will incorporate any special instructions from the client regarding its litigation policies. IDEIIIIFIGII(MI OF ACCOUNfS FOA Most of ow clients prefer that their taac collectar review the accounts on suir which the law firm proposes to file suit. Others wish us to submit our suit filing list to the governing body for approval. After we have initially identified the candidates for suit, we submit the lists of such accounts to your taac collector for approval. Prior to suit we attempt to obtain the phone number of the individual or wBNlulOx lo iHE CuENT FoA company being sued and place it in our computer records. This A"ROYu information appeazs in our citation and often assists the sheriff or constable in obtaining service of the lawsuit on the defendant. It also serves as an additional opportunity to confirm that the defendant may be found and served. At this point we add to the records all additional parties identified by ow title or business research (the Secretary of State's corporate records and the County Clerk's assumed name records ~~~UTE ADDRESS µp TnU We make every effort to include all delinquent taaces owed by a taxpayer AESEAA(H into one lawsuit. This is accomplished through a computerized program to combine multiple accounts as received from a tax roll and a manual check of the delinquent accounts on the firm's computer system for name variation. When a property owner has delinquent properties with different lienholders, however, we usually do not combine them into the same lawsuit. We believe combining accounts reduces the amount of court costs and makes it easier for the property owner to pay our client's taxes instead of excessive court costs. Our computer system combines your tax roll informarion about the CONMDAh AMOOM MA amount due and the property taxed and our research information about the COMMON OMEMNIP location of owners and lienholders into the documents necessary to initiate the lawsuit: the Original Petition and Citation. Computer generated sectaa n- scope ot sericn - ra;e 7 litigation documents vastly reduce the amount of time needed to initiate a lawsuit. Our litigation tracking system enables us to monitor the progress of a large volume of lawsuits. The firm automatically prints copies of pREpARE ANp pILE pIUGINAL Original Petitions to deliver to the necessary parties for Intervention once aEnnoxs AND ciiAnoxs we file suit for delinquent taxes. In every instance, personal service on the taxpayer and other necessary parties is our goal. Personal service assures us thax the proper pariy has OBTAN SEAYICE OF 1HE uWSUIT been served and will bring the matter to the attenrion of the owner directly. oN iNE PMnES Other means of service (Service by Registered Mail, Retum Receipt Requested, Restricted Delivery, Citation by Publication, and Citation by Posting) will be used only when a11 efforts at personal service have been eachausted. Many property owners who aze sued will pay after they have been served wauuNG YnM Tx¢ rWen with a citation. We communicate with the defendant taxpayers about the OWNEA WHO HAS 6EEN SUED amount of taaces and court costs due, coordinate the payment of the account and costs, and the dismissal of the lawsuit. Other property owners wish to enter an instaliment payment agreement after being sued. When we pok ror jmgnnt u yNickk u this is possible, we track the properiy owner's compliance with the possble arur an ot ue ddhdaoe installment ageement closely in order to move the suit Forward in the case kre been :emd. ms e mmiak of noncompliance with the agreement. It should be noted that some court wilYe tYury (34) diys aNer the Fut systems require that suits be pursued to judgment even though a partial dekdnt hu been sn.cd and t6e payment agreement has been executed. In those circumstances we attempt e.piruion af tne rime tirn ro rde an to obtain an agr ~ eed 'udgment and installment agreement whereby we agree to not sell the property if the taxpayer keeps up with his obligations. When an attorney files an answer to a lawsuit on beha7f of a property owner, we immediately contact the attomey to azrange for payment. When the attomey appears to be stalling for time, we may initiate computer produced discovery or summary judgment proceedings to move the suit to paid status. Our litigation tracking system is designed to perniit us to monitor each individual lawsuit and to track all litigation for a particulaz client. It rRncuNG nHE rENDixc uwsurt Permits us to run "aging reports" which tell us all suits in which the defendants have been served for more than 30 days (to allow time for answering the lawsuit). These accounts can then be scheduled for judgment. A copy of a litigation tracking screen is shown in the Appendix Section. Accounts on which we are unable to obtain payment during the litigation JUDGMENr Nn SuF process are set for judgment and sale as soon as practical. The forms for Judgments, Orders of Sale, Sheriff Deeds, and other necessary steps aze all generated by our computerized litigation system. We push for judgment as quickly as possible. Every lawsuit is different with rime constraints varying on each. We attempt to work with the taarpayer during every phase of our litigation in an effort to get the taxes due the District paid. We also have to take into consideration the specific requirements of the District. In this aspect, we are quite successful in pushing for a judgment as quickly as SMion IY - kope M krrkes - Pue 6 possible. This is just one of the advantages our firm offers yow District. Apprauinteh 90% of Me ucoreb whicY wc tu`et (or seume ue paid hefore 2Ye seuure taka p6a becwse we notifr the owners of t6e pdsonal propeNj of the impeodia` sci:ure Seizures Texas law permits local govemments to seize personal property in order to satisfy property taxes on real or personal property. Seizure proceedings are among the most effective colleetion techniques, especially when utilized to collect delinquent taxes on business personal property. The use of publicity from successful seizures can also be very effective in prompting other property owners to pay without litigation. Our firm is the most eacperienced in utilizing seizures to collect taxes. We have collected several million dollars in delinquent taaces, penalties and interest utilizing this technique. Approximately 90% of the accounts that we target for seizure are paid before the seizure takes place because we notify the owners of the personal property of the impending seizure. We recognize that the use of seizures is also the harshest technique for pROapUpES: collecting delinquent taxes. Therefore, we have developed seizure procedures to assure our clients that the taac seizures we conduct will be professionally and cazefully eatacuted. This is accomplished in close conjunction with the tax office and is usually based on two criteria. First, larger accounts and those with several i. ioEtmFr TxE Kcrnmr ro years of taxes due are eonsidered. Businesses with inventory that is readily 6E SEUED subject to seizure are the best candidates for seizure. The fact that there is a pending tax suit is not an obstacle to seizure and sale of the property which is the subject of that suit. Second, based upon information received by the firm from the tax office, the firm is prepared to act as soon as the paper work is prepared - usually within two hows - to seize those accounts in danger of being lost, due to a move out of the county, impending bankruptcy, orthreatened foreclosure. t. SEND IronCE io ixE PAOPERn In those cases where speed is not essential, we will notify the property OMEp owners that without additional notice, their property is subject to seizure and sale for nonpayment of taaces. A copy of our Notice of Intent to Seize is shown in Section Ten. Most property owners respond with payment after receiving this notice. This notice is either delivered in person or by certified mail. We will inspect the property to verify the existence of property which can 3. DEIElUI1xE iHE FFIWaullf oF be seized and will, if there is a possibility of a pending bankruptcy, check iNE SEIIUAE with the Bankruptcy Clerk to ensure that no automatic stay is violated. We cunently have within our computer soflware the ability to quickly 4. PAEPAMnON oF iHE print the necessary forms for seizure. These forms, which have been WuGnal uro ruX designed by the firm, include the application (with the necessary affidavit WAIUANi from the Taac Collector), the order issued by the Judge for the issuance of the Tax Warrant, and the Warrant itself. knbe n- Scope d Sericn - Page 9 Once the required affidavits have been swom to by the tax collector, we s. issMa oF ME Wuwwr take the paperwork to a 7udge for review and issuance of the Warrant. Under the Tax Code, any 7udge in the county where the seizure is to take place may be used. One of our attomeys witl accompany the taat collector and peace officer in d.

This is done to protect the client from any liability that could result from wrongful seizure (i.e. violation of an automatic stay, seizure of the wrong person's property, etc.). Should the property owner still refuse to pay the tax after seizure, we will ~SALE OF TME PROPEATY prepaze the necessary notices of sale which must be sent to all persons with an interest in or lien on the property seized. This notice sets forth ttte time and place of sale. We will have an attorney present at the sale of the property. Finally, we will prepare the Bill of Sale conveying to the purchaser title to the property sold. We also visit business owners who owe personal properiy taates throughout the year in an effort to get the taxes paid or to get compliance with payment agreements. We call these visits our "pre-seizure visits" and they are quite successful. We always inform the District's taac collector of our pending activity and we always make sure that the District's interest is protected. senin n- kep or se.kes - r* 10 Bankruptcies As with other taac litigarion, the firm has extensive experience in the field of bankruptcy and has developed a computerized system of bankruptcy litigation support and tracking. Although other lawfirms look upon bankruptcies as a widespread problem, our firm views them as a surmountable obstacle instigated by the taacpayer to delay our inevitable collection of taxes due our clients. Several of our attomeys are very famitiat with the federal law regarding bankruptcy and have given seminars throughout the State concerning the impact of bankruptcy on the collectibility of ad valorem taxes. We believe that it is to the advantage of all taxing jurisdictions, not just our clients, for us to provide these seminus. We file claims in bankruptcy court immediately upon receipt of norice of the bankruptcy. This claim is generated from the litigation system and combines the tax information from your tax files and the bankruptcy information that we have obtained. We then track any objections to the claim, whether the bankruptcy stay is lifted (to permit us to proceed in state court), and whether a payment plan has been approved by the court. Our attomeys, working with support staff, carefully track each account that has filed bankruptcy. Our system aiso keeps track of information regarding the bankruptcy trustee that the court appoints, the debtor's and other creditors' attomeys, the information about the business itself, and the identity of any co- debtors. All of this information is available to our bankruptcy attomeys at the push of a button, making the process of handling your claim much easier. We have also computerized other commonly filed documents: the Notice orr rxm IaMkd tAe first settmhl of Appearance, which will direct all further conespondence and pleadings appai ot a Aanluqnry amr e tke to our firm instead of just your tax office, and the Request for Payment of pr°a'4' tu kw• taaces as an administrative expense. This latter documant enables us to make application for full payment of tazces which accrue while the bankruptcy is pending, including current taaces. We aze very aggressive in pursuing our clients' interest in the banlwptcy courts. We actively press to recover as much of the penalties and interest as can be recovered and seek to have the stay removed from the property on which our client is owed delinquent tases. Our firm handled the first successful appeal of a bankruptcy matter in the property tax field. In the matter of Stanford, debtors 826 F.2d 353 (C.A.S-Tex, 1987), the court established that Teacas property taaces on real estate were a secured claim, instead of the lower designation of priority claim status: Sectiw IV • kope oF Senica - Wue I I Another example of our diligent pursuit of taaces protected by bankniptcy occurred in a Chapter 7 case styled "In Re: Independent American Development (Phase II) Corporation Case No. 89-42160-A" which involved several law firms. This Bankruptcy involved numerous taacing jurisdictions and the Resolution Trust Corporation. Tab Beall of our firm successfully handled this case which was filed in the Eastern District of Texas and was resolved in 1995. Because of our persistence and diligent work, our firm led the effort that successfully moved the bankruptcy to payment of $ 1,184,356.00 in delinquent taaces owed to our clients and clients represented by other law firms. Ahhough there are several chapters of bankruptcy that may be chosen by the delinquent taxpayer, three take most of our attention and efforts. These chapters are Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy is relatively simple to track because the taaspayers assets will be liquidated to pay debts owed. It is our position to make sure the liquidation moves along in a timely fashion and that ensure that ow clients' taxes are paid. Chapter 11 bankruptcies aze business reorganizations that require our attomeys to constantly work to protect our clients' interest. These bankruptcies aze aggressively pursued to make sure that any outstanding taaces aze recognized as priority claims and paid. These bankruptcies involve potential litigation on our clients' behalf concerning proofs of claim objections and the plan of reorganization. Chapter 13 bankruptcies are similaz in that they require attention to force payment from the bankruptcy plan. Litigation is also a potential step in that we want to make sure that our clients' interest is protected. Throughout each bankruptcy case, we work to keep our clients informed regazding what is occurring and how we are handling each step of the bankruptcy cycle. Uniike other law firms, we do not sit on an account because it is in bankruptcy. We are prolribited from mailing notices to the debtor and from filing lawsuits, but we do work with bankruptcy trustees and the debtors attomeys in negotiations to protect our clients. If the bankruptcy appears to be stalling, we will litigate to move it along. We would note here that we do not chazge our clients the fifteen percent (15%) attorney's fees in bankruptcy cases unless the attomey's fees are actually paid. We pursue bankruptcy collections on our clients behalf because this type of delinquency has an impact on the client's delinquent tax roll. Although we typically do not get paid for our work on bankruptcies, we believe that in order to provide our clients with our best service, we must pursue the collection of this type of delinquency as aggressively as the courts will allow. kd'an IY • kope d Savket - Pase 12 Our bankruptcy services do not cost our clients anything unless we actually recover our fees from the bankruptcy. Taxpayer Ilssistance The firm makes every effort to assist the tvcpayer in any tax problem to the extent ethically possible. The firm also timely handles questions posed by delinquent taxpayers, whether they are in the form of written letters or telephone conversations. Many past inquiries have been made regazding the appropriate person or office to contact to correct inaccuracies as to their address, property description and/or valuations. The firm not only notes this information on its computer system, but will inform the District's Taac Office of such information, as well as directing the taacpayer to the appropriate individual or office. If a taxpayer communicates that he or she no longer owns a piece of The F:m aka aery ftt to timery property, we abstract the properiy to confirm or deny a change in handk qeetbm poud 6r ddinquat ownership. If the inquiring taxpayer does not in fact own the real property, nyarns, w"K thcj ue n tne tarm of wrina kttm a ukpAae we change the information in the firm's computer and send a new owner comersitioe:. letter to the correct owner as well as provide such informaUon to our client. However, if the deed records indicate that the inquiring taxpayer still owns the property, then the firm reestablishes contact with the taxpayer to detemune the possible problem. A large number of inquiries come from delinquem taxpayers who have problems concerning payment of taxes by their mortgage company and/or their ritle company at a closing. The firm attempts to isolate the particular problem with the taxpayer. If all efforts by the taxpayer to resolve the problem fail, the firm wiil communicate with the mortgage company and/or title company in an attempt to resolve the issue of payment of the tatces without necessitating a lawsuit. Litigation Support System At the heart of the firm's effort is its unique computerized litigation system. Although a litigation support system is normally not discussed or considered a part of legal assistance, the firm believes it has developed a system of litigation support that must be mentioned within the conte7ct of legal assistance. The litigation support system is comprised of two (2) elements: (A) personnel and (B) a computerized litigation support system. Thrw`r tln yean tne Fum pss Through t6e years the firm has assembled a staff of highly qualified and usemDke a sqlf of 6il* qulified exPerienced ad valorern tax law and litigation attorneys. They are uid eipcrienced ad nbrem qi hw supported by paralegals, legal assistants, and the administrative staff. The and lc;ption attoneys majority of the firm's attorneys gained their expertise prior to joining the firm. Many of the attomeys served as City, County, and District knipn ry- kope o( Savice - Pap 13 Attomeys The computerized litigation support system is the nucleus of activity in litigation. Petitions, judgments and related documents, citations, releases, orders of sale, abstract files, requests for admissions, interrogatories in aid of judgment, and bankruptcy forms are oniq a few of the products generated by this system. The litigation tracking feature which this system provides enables the attomey and administrative staff to monitor litigation effectively and timely by means of displaying the summary of the status of an individual lawsuit at the touch of the computer terminal. This system is capable of producing written summary status reports for an individual lawsuit or a11 current litigation for a particular client. This tracking feature allows both the firm and the client to monitor the status of active litigation. This system of timely monitoring litigation by flagging key points and reporting the status allows key personnel of the firm the advantage of devoting more time to the District's delinquent tax collecrions. The monitoring of a client's account begins prior to the filing of a lawsuit; from the mailing of the notification letters to taxpayers to the conclusion of litigation. Reporting One of the most important things that we do is communicate with our clients about the progreas of our collection activity on any given account or on the enrire delinquent tvc roll. Whenever we begin a collection procedure on any account, we discuss the action with the tax collector. Some of our clients request that we update them on a monthly, biannual or annual basis about our collection activities. For this reason, we have developed several specialized reports that aze produced by our computer system for our clients. Exatnples of these reports may be found in the Examples Section of this proposal. Some of the reports which we can generate aze: ■ Litigation Status Reports ■ Monttily Collection Activity Reports ■ Annual Collection Activity Reports ■ Bad Address Report • Payment Agreement Report ■ Payment Agreements in Default Report ■ Bankrvptcy Reports ■ Descending and Alpha Order Pdntouts knion lY • kape af Savica - Pqe 14 Property Yalue Studr / State Aid Appeals Property Value Studies aze the annual study conducted by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to esrimate the total taxable value of all property in each school district. As a part of this annual study, the Comptroller must: 1. Use sales and generally accepted suditing and sampling techniques, 2. Review the appraisal methods, standards and procedures of each appraisal district to determine whether they use generally accepted standards, 3. Test the validity of tatcable values in each appraisal district and presume that these values are correct when values are valid. 'T'he state's distribution of aid is dependent upon the Comptroller's findings. At any time in the process, any number of etrors can occur on the part of the Comptroller's study. If an enor should occur, a school district could lose hundreds of thousands of dollazs in state funding. For this reason, our firm has represerned school districts for several years in the appeal of the CompU-olier's findings. Robert Mott handles all of our State Aid Appeals. Under Mr. Mott's supervision, Carla Pope-Osborne is our State Aid Appeals Director. Both of these individuals have extensive experience with State Aid Appeals and the Comptroller's office. Robert Mott, a named partner of the firm, began his legal cazeer with the Comptroller's office. Part of his duties with the Comptroller's Office was to assist with the creation of the Texas Property Tax Code. From the Comptroller's office, he went to the State Property Taic Board and later, to the Harris County Appraisal District. At Harris County Appraisal District, Mr. Mott was the Director of Standards and Procedures. Carla Pope- Osbome has thirteen years of experience with the Comptroller's office. At the Comptroller's office, Carla Pope-Osbome defended the state's posirion with the value studies. Her capability and professionalism led to our firm's decision to hire her and put her in charge of our appeals section. Robert Mott's background, courtroom experience and connections with state agencies is a valuable tool for school districts when contesting the Comptroller's findings. Robert Mott has been assisting school district's throughout the state for the past eleven yeazs to recover millions of dollars of lost state aid had the state's findings not been contested by him. Pat Werline is responsible for taxable value audits and has over fourteen yeazs of eacperience as supervisor of the comptrollers property value study division. In 1996, we successfully concluded litigation against the State Comptroller for eleven school districts in North Central and South Eastern Texas which brought in an additional $18,000,000. When we are hired by a school district, we will examine the data that the state used to make its determination. We will look at each category in the state's report. We will photograph and examine the property. We will talk Satiop IY - ka" ot Sarica - PW 15 to the property owners and obtain signed alTidavits from them about the property if it is favorable for the district. We will look at other appraisal and sale information and actively combat the state's findings. We will do everything that is legally allowed for our firm to reduce the values applied by the state. There are three important points that a district should consider when looking at this issue: 1. Our law firm will be fair and honest. 2. We will work to obtain as much additional state aid for our clients as is allowed without making extravagant promises. 3. Our staff of professionals will be the people performing the work on your behalf. We will not expect an appraisal district's staff to do the work and then take credit for what the appraisal district accomplished. Property Yalue Study Appeals - For a fontingent Fee of 101/o, The Firm Will: • Provide complete prepazation of the appeal. • Review the Comptroller's value estimates and ratios. • Provide consultation on productivity values. • Review each category of local data. • Provide the submission of the appeal. • Represent the District in all meetings and administrative heatings with the Comptroller's office. • Represent the District in State District Court to resolve value study issues. • Provide thorough reporting of the progress of the appeal process to the School District and the Appraisal District. School District Taxable Value Audits Another important service provided by our firm is a Taacable Value Audit for school districts. If a school district's taacable value has declined due to exemptions, lawsuits or other specific causes, we can petition the Comptroller's Property Tax Division to perform a Taxable Value Audit. A favorable ruling can result in additional State aid or a reduction in recapture payments. This service is provided for a contingent fee of 7.5%. Section IV - kope d Sarice - Pa;e 16 Resale Properties The firm has elctensive experience in reselling properties that ow clients hold in trust for themselves and other districts. It is our policy to get these properties back onto the tazx rolls in a revenue producing capacity as quickly as possible. It is also our policy to provide this service to our clients with that degree of interaction with the administrarion and goveming body desired by the client. This is one of the services that we provide at no cost to the district for our services. There aze three methods that can be utilized in reselling property that has been struck-offto the entities at Tax Sale. 1. Private Sale - involves negotiations between the district and interested parties. We will handle the negotiations for the client. 2. Sheriffs Sale - the sheriff may re-post and sell the property with no set minimum amount. 3. Sealad Bids - the district may advertise for sealed bids on the property and accept the best offer made. We will handle the process for the district. One of the first steps that we take is to notify people who own the neighboring property that the property belongs to the district and that they may submit a bid to the district should they be interested in purchasing the properry. If our firm did not conduct the original taac sale, then we recheck the title research on the properiy to insure that there are no potenrial problems with the property. We post "For Sale" signs on the property for general disclosure. We also place advertisements of the properties in the newspaper with a bid submission deadline. We handle a11 of the bids and take them to the district with recommendations of action to be taken by the district. Our firm works with the representatives of other districts to obtain mutual agreement for the disposition of the properties. Should the district proceed to sell the subject properties, our firm performs a11 of the papenvork and deed work required to transfer ownership to the purchaser. Any costs associated with this service which are not covered by the sale would be bome by the firm. SCftqR ry- SCOP! 0f StlYIC!{ - Pi(! 17 Other Collections The firm has experience in representing school districts in the collection of other revenue. This includes class action suits and antitrust suits. When vendors have been judicially determined to have defrauded districts in price fixing schemes and quantity shortages, they should be pursued to compensate the districts. Another area that can pose as a revenue recovery auenue are situations where the district contracts with a vendor for future services and the vendor then fails to provide those services; as a result, the distsict is usually out the money it has paid as compensation. The firm will join in lawsuits brought thtough Class Action and Antitrust petitions against vendors. The firm will continue to monitor and protect the district's interest throughout the lawsuit and even into bankruptcy court to the final disposition of the matter. The firm was successful in representing its clients' intetest with the Tejas Testing matter. We followed the federal case against Mrs. Baird's and filed claims on our clients' behalf when this corporation filed bankruptcy. In the matter of Tejas Testing, we filed claims on behalf of our clients for money that had been paid for fleet emission testing. When the state determined that Tejas would not provide emissions tests, Tejas filed bankruptcy. We obtained meney from the bankruptcy court for our clients. This is another service that we provide our clients at no additional cost. In 1996, the firm represented the Arlington I.S.D., in addition to several other Tanant County School Districts, in contesting the manner in which the State Comptroller conducted the Property Value Study. The lawsuit resulted in a recovery of $ 2.17 million dollars in additional State aid to the Artington I.S.D. Scctioe N- Scape ot Serice - Pge 11 Computer fapability Perdue, Brandan, Fielder, Collins, & Mott, L.L.P. maintain a staff of computer programmers and specialists to ensure that we and our cliems achieve the maximum benefits of implementing a technologically superior collection system. Our firm has been a pioneer in the field of computerizing delinquecrt tax wlladions. Terry Hays, from ow Amarillo office, is the firm's senior systems analyst and Dave Miles is the wmputer manager of our Arlington office. These two individuais oversee a staff of professional programmers and analysts.

We have the ability to electronically access the tax office computer through a leased line. This enables us to review the accounts from the tax office in real time and print tax sfatemecrts directly from the tax office computer system. We also have access to background data such as ownership history, deed information, paymerrt history, and comments entered by tax office personnel. The fum also subscribes to an on-line title service. 17ris service provides the firm with the same tide research utilized by the major title companies. In addition to providing access to the County Clerk's records (including imaging ofthe actual documents) it provides probate divorce and bankruptcy filings for the past twertty-four years.

We have the capability to establish a communications link with the Tax Office. Our computer hardware is coutinually being updated to reflect advancements made in technology. Our firm has invested millions of dollars to remain a leader in computerized tax collections. This investmem has paid off substantially for the fimi and is evidenced by the fact that our collection ratss are often superior to other tax collection agencies. Software The computer software, which our firm uses, has been custom writtsn and is The mmputer sohwue, which oer constantly updated to reflect new developments in the field of software firm ma, has Eem compktelr astom programming.

Our opeiating system gives the firm the capability to accept data from any other make of computer system. The firm ma'vrtains a parallel copy ofthe delinquern tax roll on the computer systam; the copy of the tax roll includes all the pertinetrt information, such as name and address information, legal description, and individual taxas for each property, for each year delinquem. Sectan Y- Compta (apbillia - Pa`e 3 The file is updated with payment information either by computer tape or over a dedicated telephone line. We can receive cornputer tapes, with payment information from the tax office, on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, whichever is most practical and convenient to the tax office. Maurtaining a copy of the tax roll enables us to affectively communicate with delinquent taacpayers at any time. T6e system will automatically calculate the penalry and 'urterast based on the month and yeat the statemem is primed. Most of the eachibits located in Sedion Ten are the products of our computer system. We have developed a number of repoRs, which can be generated on k"6 a monthly basis. Some of these reports have been shown as eacamples in this proposal. Two additional computer programs that assist us in reporting ara the Client Activity Report and the Litigation Status Report. The Client Activity Report informs us of the distribution of taxes among the various status codes that we assign to each account. ltie report is broken dowtt 'vrto accounts in suit, bankruptcy, address research, instaliment paymeirt agreements, and in other categories (such as hold or deceased). The Litigation Status Report shows the activities and the disposition of litigation that was filed within a certain time frame. It enables us to inform the clieirt ofthe progress made in bringing suits to final disposition. The firm's computer system does an imemal scan of all accounts twice every motrth. From these scans, inforniation is stored in the system, wluch enables the firm to mairnain a historical analysis of each Clierns's account activity. This information may also be formaGad and prurted as reports. Additionally, should the information be requested, it may be acquired in hard copy form at any time during the month by scanning the accounts at the time of the request. The firm also prepazes lists of those accounts which ara currently in bankrnptcy, showing not only the taxpayer's name but also the description of the property aad the amowrts of taac dua for each year. A similar list of accounts with bad addresses is also available. The firm has many reports that can be generated as well as several different ways to access the tax records and relevant collection data for each accoum. We have the capability to esfablish a communication link with yow tax Med'n KMcd 6om D'ctrio's iu office, which would give us on-line access. However, wrtil such a time as Olfice this is done, we will need to receive wmputer tapes or cartridges from the taac office on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. Setiom Y- Competer CapabilNies - Pa`e 4 Statement of Capability to Succeed for the City of Paris The firm has the capability to successfully process all delinquent accounts refened for collection annually. The firm operates and maintains fully staf£ed law ofl'xces in eight cities across Texas that handle the delinquent ta7c collections for more than twelve-hundred (1,200) clients. We represent several lazge cities including the City of Fort Worth, City of Lubbock, City of Amarillo, and the City of Wichita Falls. Statement of Inability to Perform There have been no instances in which there was an inability to timely perform, the performance was inaccurate, or the performance was not in accordance with existing law by the Firm. No Delinquent Taxes Owed There aze no delinquent taxes owed by any personnel of the firm to the City of Pazis. As a firm that focuses its practice on the collection of delinquent ad valorem taxes, it would be a direct conuadiction for any of our attorneys to be delinquent for payments to any taxing jurisdiction.
