Inappropriate Corporate Relations

In late 2014, Texas Investigative Network, Inc. was retained by a north Texas oilfield services company to investigate the activities of their General Manager while on a business trip in Houston, TX.TheCorporate Investigationwas predicated on the fact that the subject of Investigation was scheduled to come into Houston for a one-day business meeting but, for some reason, unexpectedly decided to fly into Houston two days prior to the one-day meeting.

Texas Investigative Network Investigators Pfister, Roesner, and Amrine initiated surveillance at Hobby Airport in Houston, TX in anticipation of the subject’s arrival.After successfully locating the individual at the airport and conductingcovert surveillanceof him until he purchased a rental vehicle, TIN Investigators were able to determine that the subject was staying at a hotel in a suburb of southwest Houston, suspiciously far from the location of his meeting which was two days later.The same night that the subject arrived in town, he proceeded to a local bar and, after consuming several alcoholic beverages, left the bar while appearing to be intoxicated.

The next day the subject of the investigation was observed meeting a woman at his hotel, and covert video was obtained as they entered the subject’s hotel room.This same woman, stayed with our subject of investigation the majority of the day and, after leaving for the evening, returned the next day and again remained with the subject of the investigation until he left for his meeting.It was determined that the woman with who our subject of the investigation was seen was actually a married, publicly known woman.
