About SAFE SAPCR Texas
Advocating for family law reform to protect Texas families from extrinsic fraud
Last updated: August 26, 2026
Our Mission
SAFE SAPCR Texas is dedicated to reforming Texas family law to prevent extrinsic fraud and abuse of process in custody cases. We advocate for legislative changes that ensure every parent receives proper notice before their parental rights can be affected by court orders.
SAFE SAPCR stands for Service Accountability and Fraud Elimination in Suits Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship.
Our Core Values
Due Process
Every parent has a constitutional right to notice and an opportunity to be heard before their parental rights are affected. We fight to protect that right.
Transparency
We believe in open government and accountability. Our case studies are based on public court records, and we cite our sources.
Evidence-Based Advocacy
Our legislative proposals are grounded in documented cases, legal research, and fiscal analysis — not emotion or speculation.
Family Unity
Children deserve relationships with both parents. We work to prevent the fraudulent removal of parents from their children's lives.
Why We Exist
SAFE SAPCR Texas was founded after a parent discovered, 14 months later, that he had lost custody of his child through a default judgment based on a Certificate of Last Known Address. The address certified was one he hadn't lived at for over 10 years — despite having been personally served at his actual address just months earlier.
This wasn't an isolated incident. Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 239a allows attorneys to certify a respondent's "last known address" with no verification requirement. This gap in the law enables extrinsic fraud that separates families.
We are working to close that gap through the SAFE SAPCR Act, proposed legislation that would require due diligence before address certifications, mandate constable service in SAPCR cases, and create expedited remedies for victims of service fraud.
What We Do
Legislative Advocacy: We work with Texas legislators to advance the SAFE SAPCR Act and related family law reforms for the 90th Texas Legislature (convening January 2027).
Public Education: We provide resources to help parents understand their rights, including guides on Texas Rule 239a, default judgments, extrinsic fraud, filing bar complaints, and frequently asked questions.
Case Documentation: We document cases of extrinsic fraud exclusively from public court records filed with the Harris County District Clerk. Every claim on this site is sourced from official documents available at hcdistrictclerk.com.
Community Building: We connect affected parents with resources and support through our membership program and multi-state advocacy network covering California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
About the Founder
SAFE SAPCR Texas was founded by Scott Allen Willis, a pro se litigant in Harris County, Texas who is personally affected by the issues this organization addresses. After discovering in October 2025 — 14 months after the fact — that he had lost custody of his children through a default judgment based on a Certificate of Last Known Address naming an address both parties had abandoned in 2013, Willis began documenting the case and advocating for reform.
Willis is the plaintiff in two active cases in Harris County:
- Willis v. Rendon Legal, PLLC and Laci Rendon (Cause No. 2025-95850) — A fraud lawsuit filed in the 189th District Court alleging fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, abuse of process, and filing a fraudulent court record. The case was dismissed with prejudice at the pleadings stage on 19 March 2026, with $1,500 in attorney's fees assessed against the plaintiff. A Motion for New Trial was filed on 13 April 2026 and was overruled by operation of law on 2 June 2026 when the court did not rule on it.
- Bill of Review (Cause No. 2025-92876) — Filed in the 311th District Court to set aside the void default judgment in the underlying SAPCR case.
Willis represents himself pro se in both cases. All case filings are public records and will be sent on request. They are also available, with a free registered account, through the Harris County District Clerk.
