Keller mayoral candidate Tag Green is involved in an ongoing lawsuit in Dallas County alleging he and his property management company misappropriated more than $200,000.

According to court documents filed in 2023 and 2024, Green’s company, Time for Real Change, LLC, managed nine residential properties in Dallas and Mesquite, with some tenants receiving rental assistance from the Dallas Housing Authority and the Mesquite Housing Division.

In December 2020, the properties were sold to an entity named BAF 2, LLC, based in Travis County for $2 million. Under the terms of the sale, the new owner was to receive the rental assistance payments, but that didn’t happen, according to the lawsuit. Instead, the lawsuit alleges Green received that money, despite no longer managing the properties in question.

BAF 2 accused Green of misappropriating those funds and concealing receipt of the housing assistance money.

Green declined to comment, citing the litigation.

In February 2025, Judge Bridgett Whitmore of the 193rd Civil District Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, ordering Green to pay $220,000 in damages.

But the plaintiff’s attorney, David Vassar of Dallas-based Vassar, McCown, Dear and Sicotte, LLP, told the Star-Telegram his clients have received around $30,000 of that, and that Green hasn’t complied with the terms of the judgment he agreed to by providing bank account information and financial statements.

On April 9, Green failed to show up for a deposition, and Whitmore signed the plaintiffs’ motion for contempt on April 24.

Green served on the Keller City Council before resigning his position earlier this year in order to run for mayor.
