Friendswood Tycoon Pleads Guilty to Fraudulent Tax Reporting

HOUSTON – William Christopher Womack, the brazen owner of Intents Services LLC, has copped to his cunning scheme of under-reporting income by millions and skirting tax laws over three years. The Friendswood businessman’s fraudulent tactics have landed him in hot water, as he now faces up to three years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

Womack, who leased industrial and special event tents, trailers, and vehicles in the Houston area, was exposed for reporting an annual wage of just $12,000 while collecting Social Security benefits ranging from $15,672 to $16,121. His shenanigans were more than a mere oversight; he admitted that his 2020 tax return failed to disclose a staggering $260,895 in earnings from his company.

Womack’s deceit didn’t stop there. He concealed his income by cashing business receipts at check-cashing businesses and writing fraudulent checks to fictitious employees and vendors. The money was then squandered on personal luxuries such as boats, luxury vehicles, RVs, and tickets to high-profile sporting events.

His under-reported wages were a deliberate move to avoid earning more than $1,000 per month in order to maintain his Social Security benefits. Now, as part of his plea deal, Womack is ordered to pay the IRS $219,599 in restitution for tax losses resulting from his fraudulent returns filed between 2019 and 2021.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown will decide on Womack’s fate on October 14th, when he could be handed up to three years in federal prison and a maximum $250,000 fine. Until then, the defendant remains on bond.

The IRS Criminal Investigation unit conducted the probe into Womack’s fraudulent activities. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brad Gray is leading the prosecution of this case.
