Trump just signed an executive order to make homelessness an illegal enforceable offense and place them into involuntary lockdown either jail or mental hospitals. We are taking in strays (animals and sober humans) and are looking for compassionate Bastrop citizens to offer assistance by either donating, voluntarily helping us or giving them a place to lay their heads…In an unused room or outbuilding.
SHITology inc is an established 501c3 nonprofit charity and our project is ‘Cherokee Recovery Village’ giving the sober homeless resources and temporary residence to find a healthy lifestyle. Bastrop CAD is stalling on our property tax exemption application filed in 2019 and the County authorities are harrassimg us about allowing homeless to stay in our RVs, cabins and pitch tents when we have adequate toilet facilities, showers and even laundry facility. Two Austin television news outlets have aired stories about our facility but refuses to do a story about the tax gouging issue in this county. Bastrop County is demanding a “development permit” to build six primitive cabins from donated pallets and building materials and has been sending environmental inspectors to demand we take down tents and saying no homeless can stay on the property when we have male and female restrooms in our sober lounge and a hot shower house all connected to a septic system. It seems like working to help the sober homeless is discouraged in Bastrop County even when you are doing everything legally.

The authorities can't find any legal violations so they use intimidating tactics against our compassionate efforts. Are there any hungry attorneys needing to make a name for themselves in Austin? We will be getting a story with Vice News and would love to get more community support for sober homeless folks. This is the time to give a voice to the real victims of the current economic oppression, Elon Musk, since you set up shop in our county.
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
