Texas Has Just Passed A Law That Will Show You How To File Criminal Charges Against The IRS

Texas Has Just Passed A Law That Will Show You How To File Criminal Charges Against The IRS -- And Void Their Liens!

You don't have to believe us... just read the following LAW, and consider the "Notice of Federal Tax Lien" which is unsupported by a judgment from a federal court.

Yes, the Texas Legislature directed by Attorney General Dan Morales, in their attempt to immediately void common law liens, and liens by the "Republic of Texas" against the State of Texas and various officials have even provided within the code the court pleadings you need to void your IRS "Notice of Federal Tax Lien"; and even bring FELONY CHARGES AGAINST THE SERVICE AND THEIR AGENTS.

AND -- THERE IS NO FILING FEE! THE DEFENDANT CAN NOT APPEAR, AND THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT IS NOT SUBJECT TO APPEAL!

This new Texas law even defines your civil cause of action in State court against an agent who fraudulently files a claim against you. Your civil filing fee is $15 for asserting a claim worth at least $10,000.

Here are the tools you need to get out from under the IRS, and GET THEM EITHER IN JAIL, OR OUT OF TEXAS.
