About Us
Our Mission
At ACE of TEXAS, our mission is simple: protect property owners, fight unfair valuations, and serve our community with integrity. We are a locally owned West Texas company built on experience, transparency, and results. As graduates of Texas Tech University and lifelong members of the Lubbock community, we take pride in helping our neighbors keep more of their hard-earned money.
We believe property owners deserve honest representation from people who understand the system from the inside — and who are willing to stand up and fight when values are inflated. Simply put, we’re the good guys. Our goal is to make the protest process easy, effective, and stress-free while delivering the strongest possible outcome for every client we represent.
