Texas Work Force Commission and a False Claim.

Hello Forum -

I would appreciate any "helpful comments" we might be means to offer me concerning a situation we am right divided traffic with.

I had owned a rsther than short-lived grill in a Dallas, Texas area during 2008/2009.  I hired a consultant, who turned out to be a fraud.  He did not have a knowledge he claimed to have had, put together a fake Franchise agreement as well as to tip it off, we after schooled he had alternative income judgements opposite him for a expect same thing in an additional state.  Note that we paid him intensely well.

Since my firing of a said consultant, his daughter has right divided contacted a Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) as well as has made a salary explain opposite my FORMER company.  (I am right divided out of business, have let my corporate filings in a State of Delaware slide as well as do not devise upon renewing them- we am done as well as broke.)  She states that we owe her $3,800. for past wages.  I perceived correspondence from a Labor Law Investigator two-three months ago saying that explain of due income as well as we wrote a Labor Law Investigator behind as well as said, "that a explain opposite us was fake as well as was meant to means harm to trusting as well as tough working people" in-addition to a underlined comments below.  A reduced time had upheld as well as tonight we perceived a letter from a TWC called, "Notice of Texas Payday Law Hearing."  I have a phone conference scheduled subsequent month during noon-time, in that we am to call in as well as we creed to confirm a last outcome of this silly ordeal.

The "Daughters" impasse in my commercial operation was this:  She was never a hired worker of our company, contracted by us, or promised any salary for any work or use preformed.  "The daughter" came into a grill for a reduced time as well as "helped her dad out."  She was there as well as did in-fact work, though it was to assistance out her father for his obvious reduced comings, ie., emanate manuals that presumably went with a "Franchise, sight employees with "their methods as well as procedures" as well as assist a little in a kitchen.

Again, we never hired her, promised her anything, never had her fill out an I-9, w4, never reported her upon our Employer's Quarterly Report, that was filed to a TWC.  

I've schooled my expensive lesson, right divided what do we do to have this go away?

Thank you.
