ADVERTISEMENTS

Today, December 15, 2009, the TCEQ announced the conviction of a Denton County man, as a result of a forgery investigation conducted by the TCEQ Environmental Crimes Unit. On November 24, 2009, Claude Dean (?C. D.?) Stang, owner of Texas Grant Writers, of Aubrey, Texas was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in forging signatures on the condition and use forms on Texas Emissions Reduction Plan grant applications. Stang had previously pled guilty to one count of engaging in organized criminal activity. TCEQ ECU investigation found that Stang not only forged signatures but also had other employees forge signatures on the forms and generated fraudulent quotes on equipment that was to be replaced. Stang was charging up to $600.00 per piece of equipment to assist potential applicants in filling out the TCEQ?s Emissions Incentive Grant applications.

The case was prosecuted by the Travis County District Attorney?s Office.
