I reviewed the pro/con on your web page. 

FYI, as to the designation of a campaign treasurer. I filed with the Texas Ethics Commision on October 27th, 2023 which transferred my campaign treasurer designation from the Collin County Ethics Commission to the Texas Ethics Commision. I then filed a supplemental campaign designation directly with the Texas Ethics Commission on November 9th, a month before I filed for a place on the ballot.

As to the mortgage issue your site mentions, I have never been an obligor on the mortgage. I did not sign it, my name is not on it. It was a home equity loan taken out by my wife almost twenty years ago, before we were married. She paid ~$200k of a $240k loan. The lender (Taylor Bean and Whitaker) went bankrupt and their officers were imprisoned for fraud. The lender had pledged the loan as collateral to multiple lenders to obtain loans.  After the lender went bankrupt, 3 separate companies claimed the right to collect the loan. The lawsuit is to resolve if the loan is collectable, and if so, who has the right to collect on it.
