Comprehensive Settlement Successfully Concludes All Matters Across Van Zandt and Kaufman Counties
CANTON, TX —David Sergi, attorney representing Texas-based Scorpion Smoke Shops, announced that no criminal charges will be filed and that he successfully negotiated and completed the settlement of all civil asset forfeiture actions stemming from law enforcement seizures conducted on September 22, 2026. All assets and business inventory will be returned to their respective owners.
“Our clients always maintained their innocence, and today they have been proven correct. These are hard-working Americans who have built small family businesses providing federally legal products to the people in their communities. We are happy that together, we have delivered our clients the justice they deserve and is their right,” said Sergi, of Sergi and Associates PC, San Marcos, TX.
The settlement resolves all active forfeiture proceedings across both Van Zandt and Kaufman Counties, bringing a definitive end to the civil matters.
Critically, following extensive reviews with the lead investigative agent for the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Van Zandt County Criminal District Attorney confirmed that no state criminal charges will be filed against Scorpion Smoke Shop in connection with the raids. This confirmation was vital to reaching the final settlement agreement.
The agreement resolves any potential civil forfeiture claims in both Van Zandt and Kaufman Counties arising from the September 22, 2026 raids.
