This Engagement Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between JC Tax Group, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Firm"), and the property owner identified in the submission form above ("Client"). By signing below, Client agrees to all terms set forth herein.

1. Scope of Representation. Client authorizes JC Tax Group, LLC to represent Client in protesting the appraised value of the property identified herein before the applicable Appraisal District and Appraisal Review Board (ARB) for the current tax year, and for each subsequent tax year, unless this Agreement is cancelled in accordance with Section 9 below. Representation includes gathering evidence, filing the protest, and attending any ARB hearings on Client's behalf.

2. Fee. JC Tax Group's fee is the greater of $89.00 or 30% of Client's property tax savings, calculated as the reduction in the property's appraised value multiplied by the applicable tax rate known at the time of filing. No fee is owed if no reduction in appraised value is achieved. For homestead properties, the maximum fee is $350.00.

3. Payment. A written invoice will be issued following the final determination of the protest. Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. Payment information will be collected separately after results are confirmed. No payment is due at the time of signing this Agreement.

4. Multi-Year Authorization. This Agreement shall remain in effect for the current tax year and shall automatically renew for each subsequent tax year under the same terms and fee structure unless cancelled by either party in accordance with Section 9. New properties may be added at any time by signing an Appointment of Agent form, and will be deemed governed by the terms of this Agreement.

Client agrees to provide any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Firm.

6. Withdrawal. JC Tax Group, LLC reserves the right to withdraw from representation if it determines, in its sole professional discretion, that a protest is unlikely to yield a reduction, or if Client fails to cooperate in good faith. The Firm will provide written notice of withdrawal to Client.

7. No Guarantee. JC Tax Group makes no guarantee as to the outcome of any protest. Results depend on market conditions, appraisal district practices, and available evidence.

8. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification. The Firm shall not be responsible for initiating any legal proceedings following the final determination of value by the applicable appraisal district or Appraisal Review Board. In no event shall JC Tax Group, LLC's total liability to Client, for any claim arising out of or related to the services provided under this Agreement, exceed the amount actually invoiced to Client under this Agreement for the tax year in which the claim arises. Client agrees to hold JC Tax Group, LLC, including its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents, harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, or damages arising out of or in any way related to the services provided hereunder, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9. Cancellation. Either party may cancel this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. If work has been performed prior to receipt of the written notice of cancellation, Client shall owe the fees incurred up to that point even if services are not completed and the case is not settled.

10. Legal Expenses. In the event it becomes necessary for the Firm to retain an attorney to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Firm shall be entitled to recover from Client reasonable attorney's fees, prejudgment interest, and all other costs of collection.
