(GEORGETOWN, TEXAS; January 29, 2013) — Williamson County Clerk Nancy Rister held a press conference following the presentation of the results of the audit of the official property records she commissioned last October. Joining her was Austin attorney David Rogers, an attorney who specializes in foreclosure-related matters and Dave Krieger, paralegal and author of the book Clouded Titles, whose firm, DK Consultants LLC conducted the audit of the Williamson County land records.
Out of all the documents reviewed, 1,576 files were pulled and examined, along with all of the files of the personal residences of every elected county official that had MERS in their chain of title. Every file reviewed had some issue involved with suspect robosigning, suspect surrogate signing, suspect notary fraud, suspect forgery, instances where lenders assigned the notes to themselves wearing the “MERS hat” and instances where servicers and third-party document manufacturing mills and processing centers self-appointed trustees or acted outside of the specific authority granted to them by power of attorney.

County Judge Sam Gattis instructed County Clerk Nancy E.

The Board also heard from local Austin attorney David Rogers, who explained that “MERS’ business model is illegal in Texas”.
DK Consultants Managing Member and author of the book “Clouded Titles”, Dave Krieger called for the county district attorney to empanel a grand jury to investigate the foreclosure mill behaviors that MERS’s business model allows to run amuck without any regulatory oversight, specifically naming names of attorneys whose gross signature variations were called into question during the audit.
County Clerk Rister also announced that the county’s property fraud alert system was operational and that any time a document was recorded in the land records, the homeowner would be alerted by email to the document’s newly-recorded presence in the county land records.
