HOTTLE Clerk July 8, 2015 Hon. Keith Hottle, Clerk Fourth Court of Appeals 300 Dolorosa, Ste. 3200 San Antonio, TX 7205 Re: Cause No. 04-15-00350-CV, Jack Rettig v. Bruno, et al, on appeal to the Fourth Court of Appeals from Webb County, Cause No. 2015CVQ000699 D2 Dear Mr. Hottle: Please let this letter serve as notice to the Court that upon further review of the trial court’s orders on appeal in this cause, a question has arisen about the breadth of same. Only Mendoza and Garcia filed motions to vacate the domesticated foreign judgment and had those motions heard by the trial court. The Orders on appeal expressly rule on those motions. Lopez filed a motion but did not have it heard. Bruno and Williams filed no motions contesting the domesticated judgment. Accordingly, Rettig focused on Mendoza and Garcia when filing his Motion to Abate Appeal. Both have filed Responses. The Orders from which Rettig has appealed may be construed to address Lopez, Bruno and Williams as well. Lopez and Williams are represented by counsel (below) and Rettig has inquired as to their position on the motion to abate. Bruno is pro se and has taken no action in this case since shortly after it was filed in Harris County in 2014. He is not expected to take a position on the motion to abate. An Amended Notice of Appeal has been filed along with the Designation of Clerk’s Record. The Reporter’s Record was requested and the undersigned understands it has already been filed. Please let us know how we can aid the Court. Thank you for your courtesies. Yours truly, /s/ Audrey Mullert Vicknair Audrey Mullert Vicknair Mr. Keith Hottle July 8, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Cc: Lance H.
