Fortress Tax Defense

North Texas · Commercial · Recent tax years

We don't stop at the hearing. Our Texas attorneys can take your client's protest through district court, under one fee arrangement.

We cut North Texas commercial appraised values by up to 56% in recent years.

Every Fortress protest is prepared and argued by licensed Texas attorneys. 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 — so a client you refer is covered all the way through. Most firms stop at the hearing. We don't.

Why owners choose us

Attorneys, all the way to the courthouse

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

Our fee is a share of what you save, at the protest or in court. No reduction, no invoice. Every season since 2020.

Owners

You talk to an owner of Fortress

When you call or email Fortress, you reach one of the owners of Fortress — the attorney who will personally handle your case. We know our clients and their properties, and we like it that way.

Every property type in every Texas county

Fortress Tax Defense handles all property types — residential, residential portfolios, multi-family, commercial, office, industrial, land, ranch, and business personal property (BPP) — and serves every county in Texas, all 254 of them.

Refer a North Texas commercial client. We take it from there.

Your client sends us the appraisal notice. Texas attorneys build the evidence, handle the appraisal district and the Appraisal Review Board, and file in district court if that's what it takes — all under one fee arrangement. If we don't reduce the value, they owe nothing.
