Nonprofit Founder Calls Out Bastrop Appraisal District for Years of Silence and Inaction: “The SHIT Stops Here”
Bastrop, TX – April 2025
After four years of silence from the Bastrop Central Appraisal District (BCAD), one local nonprofit leader is making noise—and calling out what he calls a “systemic breakdown of public accountability.”
Paul Leo French, Executive Director of SHITology Inc., has launched a public campaign to bring attention to the unresolved property tax exemption application his nonprofit filed in 2020. Despite repeated certified letters, formal protests, and efforts to follow state procedure, BCAD has failed to issue a decision or acknowledge the protest—a violation of taxpayer rights under Texas law.
“The only thing they’ve assessed is our patience,” said French, a longtime therapist, author, and satirical activist. “We followed the rules. We waited. We reached out. But Bastrop CAD ghosted us—and we’re not alone. That’s why it’s time to flush this systemic SHIT into the light.”
The campaign, titled “The SHIT Stops Here,” includes an open letter to the community, formal complaints to state oversight agencies, and a call for other citizens to share their experiences with the property tax system.
French’s unique brand of “sacred satire” is on full display, but he insists the issue is no joke.
“This is bigger than SHITology Inc. It’s about whether everyday Texans can trust the very institutions meant to serve them.”
SHITology Inc. is inviting media outlets, community members, and watchdog organizations to get involved and demand transparency from public agencies
