Following a recent SEC complaint, Sonn Law Group is investigating claims involving investments with Texas E & P Partners.

In the complaint filed June 26, 2019, the SEC is alleging that Mark Allen Plummer (CRD# 1477836) of Texas E & P Partners, Inc. improperly spent investor funds for personal expenses. Specifically, Mr. Plummer allegedly made false representations to investors and spent nearly $400,000 on entertainment, travel, retail, and income taxes.

The company originally raised $6.1 million from investors between February 2015 and April 2017 by selling interests in joint ventures formed to operate two oil well projects. Mr. Plummer has agreed to pay over $500,000 to settle the charges, subject to court approval. The settlement includes $399,008 in disgorgement, $33,008 in prejudgment interest, and a $75,000 civil penalty.

FINRA expelled Texas E & P Partners from the securities industry effective January 2017.
