Here is a video tour of the village…

Trump signed an executive order to make homelessness an illegal enforceable offense and place them into involuntary lockdown either jail or mental hospitals. We have a more compassionate option…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 was stalling on our property tax exemption application filed in 2019 and the County authorities were 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. We filed a complaint with Texas Department of Licensing and Registration and miraculously BCAD denied our property tax exemption for 2019-2022 and approved it for 2023 forwards after a protest ARB meeting in September 2025. 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 was demanding a “development permit” to build six primitive cabins from donated pallets and building materials and had 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. YouTube channel InRealTime did a video tour/interview in December 2025 and the recording is setting the record straight. TDLR is now in the prosecution stage of our complaint. We have a violation of our civil rights under US code section 1983.

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? The local media won’t touch the tax gouging in Bastrop County. It’s ironic that they don’t have residency services for the homeless but they will tax us for offering it. That’s a violation of our civil rights under U.S. Code section 1983. 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.
We can help you get real and less greedy.
SHITology lessons and group sessions available.

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 eroded property tax exemption application results his nonprofit filed in 2020. Despite repeated certified letters, formal protests, and efforts to follow state procedure, BCAD had 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. has invited media outlets, community members, and watchdog organizations to get involved and demand transparency from public agencies but the media won't touch the tax-gouging corruption issues as well as local politicians. We have filled a complaint with the TDLR and miraculously BCAD officially denied our application and we protested. The ARD hearing with only one board member supported the denial for years 2019-2022 but allowed the property tax exemption for 2023. TDLR is now in the prosecution phase of our complaint.
