The Texas rancher was living his worst nightmare. He was embroiled in an income tax case with the federal government that was intent on foreclosing on his ranch, taking everything and leaving nothing due to unpaid liens.
The rancher’s effort to fight back turned the incident into a landmark case. On September 14, 2015, he filed a petition in United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division Case No. 9:14-CV-138 that challenged the Constitutional authority of the feds to usurp the authority of the courts in Tyler County, Texas.
The United States had 14 days to respond, but remained silent, apparently the first and only time that the government failed to respond to a jurisdiction challenge.
The rancher was not dissuaded. On September 30, 2015, he filed a Demand for Dismissal. Again, there was no response. How can the worst nightmare become even worse? The rancher will likely answer that when the Federal Court in conjunction with the IRS is trying to illegally seize your property while ignoring your legal rights, this is about as bad as your nightmare can be.
All within the rights of the rancher, his petition claimed that the Federal Court lacked the territorial and personal jurisdiction in Tyler Country, Texas, and demanded a dismissal of the case. The text of the petition indicated that the law was on his side.

Exactly. The only conclusion I could draw from the article was a failure to pay federal income taxes.
Yall… we fought a big war over this. The federal govt won and rules supreme. The moral to the story is any attempt to challenge the authority of the federal govt will be met w federal troops and taken to its ultimate conclusion will leave your sons dead your farms burned and your fields salted.
Wish that the court systems would obey the laws.
So very sad and corrupt!!!
Really? No$#%&!@*
They confiscate private land to sell out to the highest bidding foreign nation
I’m not surprised. When the feds can’t do what they want legally they change the law so they can do it anyway.
Would have just been easier and cheaper for him to just pay his taxes!
George Avery, the 16th amendment was never legally passed, therefore void.
Hard to fact check with no facts. This at best is a p**s poor excuse for an article.
