programs Criminal Investigation Division

Law Enforcement

Fighting tax crime is a team effort.

The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) actively cooperates with local, state and federal law enforcement authorities to pursue tax cases in three ways:

• Resource — helping obtain certain types of information held by the Comptroller's office
• Referral — accepting cases from other investigators when their tax-related cases could benefit from CID expertise
• Investigation — assisting primary agencies with state tax aspects of criminal investigations

Law enforcement officers suspecting tax fraud should contact CID Chief Jim Harris or Deputy Chief Justin Scott at the Austin headquarters, 512-463-3901.
