The short version

El Rey is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared principal (person on 60+ issuers) at the same address or management entity, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 6 Form D filings between Mar 2014 and Jan 2017.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 3 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $2.95M to 31 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Oil and Gas (2). Issuers are based in TX (2).

What this means $2.95M raised across the group, about $95K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: C David Gartley (2 issuers, executive officer), Harvey E Gartley (2 issuers, executive officer), Jef Fuller (1 issuer, executive officer), Michael Buquoi (1 issuer, executive officer) and Scott S Tyson (1 issuer, executive officer).

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Jan 25, 2017.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 18 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. No completed search yet: property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) (runs automatically; this line updates when it finishes).

What this means 27 records came back, including 6 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 6 public filings for El Rey and found 15 differences, 7 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 5 court cases name El Rey; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

CRD number for The Champion Group, Inc. appears on one filing and not another — NW Cox Bay 3-D Joint Venture

The Aug 31, 2016 filing lists The Champion Group, Inc. with CRD 23418; the Jan 25, 2017 Form D/A lists the same name with no CRD number.

What this means A CRD number is how you look a seller up on FINRA BrokerCheck. Missing it on a later form is usually a paperwork slip — use the number from the earlier form to check them.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NW Cox Bay 3-D Joint Venture (latest filing Oct 28, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 28, 2016 (first sale Oct 13, 2016). It reports $2,068,000 sold of $2,904,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
