Property Tax Protest Tarrant County

I'm looking for recommendations for companies that deal with property tax protests in Tarrant County (Dallas-Fort Worth). I have until May 15th to put in the protest and so far every company I have called only deals with the Austin or Houston market. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I had a property in Tarrant go from 393 to 700K... I was shocked.   Fortunately I was out there for other purposes and protested in person... I got it down to 400K.    

You can protest online, and even on the phone (not sure about phone)...

But... with some basic research, you can protest yourself, and they will make you an offer.... If it is acceptable, take it... If it isn't, you can decline and then hire a company.

I saved about 9K in actual tax...The companies I talked to wanted 40% of the savings... So I would have paid them 3600.00.   

My advice, try and protest yourself first, then hire the company if you don't like the offer from TAD.
