You don't have to. When we file your protest, we submit a new Form 50-162 (Appointment of Agent) with HCAD, which automatically replaces your old firm as your representative. No cancellation calls, no paperwork, no awkward conversations. Just sign up with us and the new filing overrides your previous agent. The only thing to check: make sure your current firm hasn't already filed a 2026 protest, since HCAD only allows one per property per year.
Yes — as long as your current firm hasn't already filed a protest for 2026. If they haven't filed yet, just sign up and we'll take over automatically via Form 50-162. If they have already filed, you'll need to let them finish this year and switch to us for 2027. Not sure? We can check your HCAD account for you.
No — our lower rate reflects our focused, efficient operation, not lower quality. We build comprehensive, custom evidence packages — equity analysis, cost-to-cure, comparable sales, and market trends — strategically including only what strengthens your case. Our singular focus on HCAD means we know this system better than anyone.
Texas law allows you to replace your agent at any time by filing a new Form 50-162 — which we do automatically when you sign up. Most property tax protest contracts can't actually prevent you from switching agents. The only limitation is if they've already filed a protest for the current year. Review your agreement if you're concerned, but in most cases you can switch right now with no issues.
No payment now. We handle the transition and fight for you starting this season.
