    14                                   MR.    APPELT:      Pacheco.           Who had          been
    15   interpled as                a    third party defendant                 during the            divorce.
    16   But    I'm ready                for Manuel        Castro.
    17                                   THE COURT:         Okay.        And,       so,    Ms.    Lishman,
    18   this       is   your        motion,          correct.?
    5                                   MS.    LISHMAN:         Yes,    Your       Honor.        This
    20   actually          is    the       fourth time that we've                    brought this
    21   matter to court.                       It's a motion to declare agreement for
    22   final       divorce             void.
    23                                   Basically,        the parties          entered in~o               an
    24   agreement          for          final    divorce        about    a    year       ago,   on
    25   October         30th,           2013,    and we     believe          that    that       agreement
    GLYN   E.   POAGE,       CSR,    RDR,       CRR
    166TH DISTRICT              COURT        BEXAR       COUNTY,      TEXAS
    1   is void as          a matter of                law because                at    that          time there
    2   was    a bankruptcy pending.                          Mr.       Castro          was the debtor                  in
    3   bankruptcy,          and there             was       no    lifting             of       the    automatic
    4   stay    for    the       purpose          of    dividing             the property                   that    was
    5   subject       to the          bankruptcy court                   jurisdiction at that
    6   time,    as    is    required             by    law.
    7                                The    last       time       that       we    were          here we       spoke
    8   in    chambers.              Sc    just    to    get       on    record             a    timeline          of
    9   events,       basically,             this divorce was                      filed          in    2011.
    10   Thereafter,          Mr.          Castro       filed       for       bankruptcy.                    Temporary
    11   orders    were       entered          in       this       matter,          I    think          in    2012       —
    12   maybe 2011          or       2012.        But    under          the       terms          of    those
    13   temporary       orders,             Mr.    Castro          was       required             to    make
    14   mortgage payments                   on the marital residence,                                  which he
    15   failed    to    do       so.        And    since          that       time       no mortgage
    16   payment       has    been made             for       the    residence                   that    Mrs.       Castro
    17   is    residing       in       and    still       currently                residing             in.
    IS                                This    agreement             was       entered             —     was    —     it's
    19   a    handwritten             agreement,          October             30th,          2013,       and    the
    20   issue    is    that          there    was       no    lifting of                the       automatic
    21   stay,    so    we    believe          it's       void       as       a    matter          of    law.
    22                                The    other       issue       is       that       this          agreement         was

    24   and Judge       Canales,             but there's                no       recitation             that       this
    25   was    actually          a    rendition          of       final          judgment,             and    there
    GLYN    E.    POAGE,          CSR,          RDR,       CRR
    166TK          DISTRICT          COURT           BEXAR          COUNTY,          TEXAS
    1   was    no    record made.                       There's             no       judge's                notes          from that
    2   day    and this             agreement                was       never          filed.
    3                                   So       there's          no    evidence                   that          this       agreement
    4   was    ever       a    rendition                of    final          judgment.                       And,          so,    we
    5   believe          because             it    was       not       rendered,                   there's             no
    6   ministerial duty                         binding          on    the          Court             to    enter          a    final
    7   order       on    uhe       terms          of    this          agreement.
    8                                   THE       COURT:           Okay.              And          I    have          the       cases.
    9                                   MS.       LISHMAN:              Door          versus                State was             the
    10   case    on       point,          and then             I    also          handed                you,       last          time,
    11   another          case       citing,             York       versus             State,                for       the       same
    12   proposition,                that          an    agreement                or       an       order          entered             in
    13   violation             of    the          stay    is       void       as       a       matter             of    law.           York
    14   versus       State          is       a    Texas       Supreme                Cour~             case.
    15                                   And       if    —     and       also          for          the       issue          of
    16   rendition,             I    brought             another             case          —        it's          Gamboa          v.
    17   Gamboa       —        saying that rendition                                  of       an       order          is    an    oral
    18   pronouncement                   in       open    court          or       it       has          to    be       in    a    written
    19   and    filed memorandum.                             And at          this             time          we    believe
    20   there's          no    evidence                that       ihere          is       a    written                and       filed
    21   memorandum,                and       no    evidence             that          there was                   an       oral
    22   pronouncement.
    23                                   THE COURT:                 Okay.              Well,             let       me,       I    guess,
    24   hear    from Ms.                Diaz       first.              But       I    did look                   into       all       these
    25   issues.           So       if    you       want       to       go    ahead             and          call       her       as    a

    166TH             DISTRICT          COURT              BEXAR             COUNTY,             TEXAS
    1    witness.
    2                              MR.   APPELT:            Yeah.             I   call        Dinorah             Diaz.
    3    She    should be          sitting right outside.
    4                             MS.    LISHMAN:           And,        Your          Honor,           1       just
    5   wanted to express to the Court,                               I think I mentioned this
    6   last       week,   but     just       so    it's       on the            record,          I   am
    7   objecting to             her    testimony.              I    think         it's       a       conflict         of
    8   interest because at                   the time          she was representing Mrs.
    9   Castro.        I    feel       that    if       she's       being called as                        a    fact
    10   witness       now she has             a clear          conflict of               interest,                and I
    11   also believe             that    her testimony                  is       easily covered by                     the
    12   attorney/client                privilege.
    13                             And    I'm also          objecting to                  her          testimony          on
    14   the basis          of hearsay,             because          anything that                     she would
    15   have to testify that would prove that there was                                                         an oral
    16   pronouncement             on    this       is    hearsay.                It's    an       out-of-court
    17   statement made             for the truth of the matter,                                       and,       so,   all
    IS   of    it    would    be    hearsay,             Your    Honor.
    19                             THE COURT:              Okay.          You can bring her in.
    20                             MR.    APPELT:           And       I've         got    Judge Canales                   on
    21   subpoena,          too,    Judge,          but    —
    22                             (Pause)
    23                             MS.    LISHMAN:              Your      Honor,          while we're
    24   waiting for          her,       I'm not          sure       —    in a prior hearing on
    25   this matter          I    invoked the Rule,                     so       if    there's             any other

    1   witnesses          I'd       like to       invoke         the Rule.
    2                                THE       COURT:     Anybody          else       that's          going       to
    3   testify?
    4                                MR.       APPELT:        The    only one might                   be Manuel
    5   Castro,          but    that's          going    to    be    it.       Judge.
    6                                THE       COURT:     All       right.           Raise       your       right
    7   hand,       please.
    8                                (Witness       sworn)
    9                                THE       COURT:     State          your       name       for    the
    10   record,          please.
    11                                THE       WITNESS:        Maria       Dinorah             Diaz.
    12   D-I-A-Z.
    13                                THE COURT:           And,       Ms.       Diaz,       I    understand
    14   you    represented Ms.                   Castro       previously             in    this       matter?
    15                                THE WITNESS:              Yes,       Your       Honor.
    16                                THE COURT:           Okay.           So    1    don't want             you
    17   discussing anything that                         is    attorney/client                   related.
    IS   It's    a    very       narrow          scope    and      it's     going          to be       strictly
    19   with    regards             to    the    appearance          in    court          —     the
    20   appearance             in    presiding          court       October          30th,       2013       in
    21   front       of    Judge          David    Canales,          and that's             it.
    22                                THE       WITNESS:        Yes,       Your       Honor.
    23                                THE       COURT:     All       right.           You       may    proceed.
    24                               MR.        APPELT:        May    I    approach             the    court

    2                         MR. APPELT:        — marked,    Judge?   Actually,
    before I do that,            Judge,    let me ask a couple of
    questions.

    DIRECT    EXAMINATION
    BY    MR.   APPELT:
    9              Q.     Ms.    Diaz    —
    10              A.     Yes,    sir.
    11              0.     — you are here because I subpoenaed you;                is
    12       that    correct?
    13              A.     Yes,    sir.
    Q.     You did not volunteer to come here.              You are —
    but    for my subpoena,          you would not   be here;   is that
    16       correct?
    17             A.      Correct.
    18             Q.      A fair statement?
    And for the benefit of — 1         guess   I   know
    20       the Court knows and the attorneys know,                but what is the
    21       effect if a witness disobeys a subpoena?                 What can
    22       happen      to that   witness?
    23             A-     Well,    they can get found in contempt.            They can
    24       be arrested and held in the Bexar County Jail overnight
    25       to ensure that        they appear in       court.

    1          Q.         And          in    my    questioning             I    don't       want       to       go

    3   all.        It's       just          going       to    be    about       procedural             aspects             of
    4   what    you       recall             occurred          on    or    about October                30th          of

    11   Number       1.        I       believe          it    consists          of    four       pages.              And
    12   flip    through                there,          please,       if    you       would,       and when
    13   you're       done          I    have       some       questions          for    you       about          it.

    Zl
    1   at    all    in       this       final          agreement.
    2                                   THE    COURT:              All       I'm deciding             is       whether
    3   this    agreement                —     I'm not             going       to       deal       with the
    4   substance             of    the       agreement,                merely whether                this was             a
    final       divorce             or    not.           That's          the    issue          before me.
    6          Q.     (BY          MS.       LISHMAN)          Ms.       Diaz,          does       this    agreement
    7   for    final          divorce          dispose             of    all       of       the    issues       that       were
    8   pending       in this                divorce,          to       your       recollection?
    9          A.I             believe             so.
    10          Q.         Is       it    generally             a    common          practice          for       attorneys
    11   to    address          issues          pending             from temporary orders                         in    a
    12   final       order?
    
    13 A. I
       guess          it    depends             on    the       case.
    14          Q.         So,       hypothetically                      speaking,             if    there was          about
    15   520,000       owed          under          temporary             orders,             is    that    an    issue
    16   that    an    attorney                would put             in       the    final          order?
    17          A.         It       depends.
    18          Q.         What          does       it    depend on?
    19          A.         It       depends          on what             the parries                want,       what    they
    20   agreed to             and what's                discussed,             and whether                or    not    it's
    21   relevant          and       whether             or    not       —     and       I    don't    really          want
    22   to    get    into          the       attorney/client:                  discussions                with    Ms.
    23   Castro,       but          it    would          depend          on    those          things,       too.
    24          Q.         At       the       time       —     October          30th,          2013,       at    the    time
    25   you    wrote          this       agreement             for       final          divorce,          were    you

    1   aware       that         Mr.    Castro was                in    bankruptcy             at    that       time?
    2          A.           It    was       represented                to    me,       yes,    ma'am.
    3          Q.           Did you have                any       reason          to    believe       he       was   not
    4   in    bankruptcy               at    that       time?
    5          A.           No,    ma'am.
    6          Q.           And were          you       aware          that       with    the bankruptcy
    7   pending          that      all property was                         subject       to    the       bankruptcy
    3   court       jurisdiction?
    9          A.           The    property             concerning                real    estate,          that      that
    10   was    listed in               the    bankruptcy,                   yes.
    11          Q.           And does          that       include the                   residence          on    Olive
    12   Street          —    1501       Clive       Street?
    13          A.           Yes.        I    believe          it       did.
    14          Q.           And,       so,    as    an       attorney,             is    it    common          practice
    15   to make dispositions of property that                                             are       subject to          a
    16   bankruptcy court's                     proceeding?
    17          A.           If    there       is    a    lift          stay.
    18          Q.           Was    there       a    lift          stay       in    this       case?
    19          A.           It was          represented to me                      that       there was          and
    20   there was            a document at                   — a document                 that was presented
    21   -co   me    at      the    time.           And there were                      those    representations
    22   made       to    the Court.                And       as    an       officer       of    the       Court,       when
    23   representations                     are made by                attorneys,             then we          usually,
    24   you    know,         believe          them.
    25          Q.           Who made          the       representation                   to    you    that       the

    1   stay    had been            lifted?
    2          A.        Opposing                counsel.
    3          Q.        And that's                   Mr.    Appelt?
    4          A.        Yes.
    5          Q.        And when                did he make                that       representation?
    6          A.        Well,          I       think       —        I    don't       know    if    it    was       that
    7   day    or   if       it    was prior.                    I       know that          that    was       one    of       uhe
    8   issues      as       to    why          it    was,       you       know,       taking       a    long       time.
    9          Q-        And did you,                      yourself,             do    any due diligence                      to
    10   follow up            on    that          to    ensure             that    the       stay    had been
    11   lifted?
    
    12 A. I
       did       the          due    diligence             necessary.
    13          Q.        And what                does       that          entail?
    14         A.         To       review the document                            that was          given       to   me        and
    15   taking the            word          of       counsel.
    16         Q.         And what                document was                   -hat?
    17         A.         It       was       a    letter          or      paper.         I    don't       remember.
    18         Q.         And,       so,          you also                testified that            there was              a
    19   representation made to the Court                                          that       the    stay had been
    20   lifted.          Are you                saying that                it    was    represented to Judge
    21   Canales     on        October                30th,       2013       that       the    stay       in
    22   bankrup ■ccy          was       lifted?
    23         A.         That's             what       I    believe,             yes.
    24         Q.         Why do             you       believe            that?
    25         A.         Because                that       was       one    of    the       issues.

    166TH DISTRICT COURT                                BEXAR       COUNTY,         TEXAS
    1          Q.      Bur       do       you       have       any      specific memory                of    it    being
    2   represented             on    that          day      to    the       Court,       to    Judge       Canales,
    3   that    there was             a    bankruptcy                  pending       and       that    the       stay
    4   had    been    lifted?
    5          A.      You       know,          I       don't      recall.           It       could have          been
    6   at,    maybe,       a    temporary                order         or    —     you       know,    hearing.
    7   I'm not       sure.
    8          Q.      Do       you recall                if      the    bankruptcy             was mentioned
    9   in    front    of       Judge       Canales               at    all    on    October          30th,       2013?
    
    10 A. I
       think          it may have                  been.        I    believe       it was,
    11   but    I'm not          certain.
    12          Q.      And have             you          subsequently               learned that             the    stay
    13   in    the bankruptcy was not actually                                       lifted?
    14          A.      Yes.
    15          Q.      And,          so,    is          there      —     is    there any obligation                      on
    16   you,    as    the       attorney                that      entered         into        this    agreement
    17   with your          client,          to correct or reform that deficiency?
    18                                MR.    APPELT:                I'm going to object to                         the
    19   relevance          for       the purpose                  of this         hearing,           Judge,       'cause
    20   it's    —

    22          Q.     (BY MS.             LISHMAN)             The      terms       of    this       agreement
    23   require Ms.             Castro to refinance the marital residence on
    24   Olive       Street       within             a    certain period                  of    time.        Is   that
    25   correct?

    1           A.        That's       what       was       ordered          by    the       Judge,       and we
    2   reduced        it      to    writing          and included                it    in    the decree,
    3   ye s.
    4           Q.        So    the    sole       disputed             issue was             the    time      period

    9                                MR.    APPELT:              Judge,       I    believe          that was

    12           Q.     (BY MS.         LISHMAN)             Is    it    your       — was           it    your
    13   understanding                at the       time       this       agreement was                   written    by
    14   you and signed by the parties                                  that       all    of the terms of
    15   this     agreement            could have been performed by your                                       client,
    16   specifically                that    she could have                   refinanced the home
    17   with     the      bankruptcy          pending             at    that       time?
    IS                               MR.     APPELT:              Judge,       I'm going to object
    19   again.         I don't — as                   1    recall,          the purpose of this
    20   hearing was not                to get             into    the substance of                      the
    21   agreement.              It was to whether                      or    not this             was    actually
    22   proved up,             the divorce,                that    is,       before       Judge Canales                in
    23   open     court.
    24                               THE COURT:               Sustained.
    25           Q.     (BY MS.         LISHMAN)             Did you put on                any proof             that

    2   "put    on proof"             refers          to    putting          it   on    the     record;          is
    3   that    correct?
    4          A.         Not       necessarily.
    5          Q.         Do you remember                   on    that day if             the       specific

    with    Judge       Canales             prior       to    him    signing          this       agreement?
    8          A.         What       do    you mean          by       "discussed"?
    9          Q.         Well,       you       testified             that    you       established the

    11   for    getting          a    divorce          in    Texas.           Is    that    correct?
    12          A.         Come       again.
    13          Q.         When       you    went       before          Judge       Canales          you
    14   established             the residency requirements                               and the

    16   that    correct?
    17          A.         Meaning me             or    the parties?                 Like       the    attorneys
    18   together,          yes.

    20   October          30th.
    21          A.         Yes.        I    believe Mr.                Appelt       asked the questions
    22   of    his    client.

    WHEREFORE, the Trustee requests the Court deny the motion for the reasons stated above and set it for
    hearing on the next available hearing dale. The Trustee further asks the Court Tor any other relief to
    which she may be entitled.
