Petitioner was provided with the clerk's and reporter's records free of charge for purposes of his appeal from the summary judgment granted to the Bank and Local Rule 7.2(b) established reasonable safeguards relating to Petitioner's access to those records 11 II. The Court of Appeals correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal because, despite having access to the free-of-charge clerk's and reporter's records at the Court of Appeals' offices and despite several extensions of time and notices to do so, Petitioner failed to file a briefcomplying with Rule 38.1(g) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 15 III. The Trial Court correctly granted summary judgment to the Bank as it presented competent, uncontro verted evidence conclusively proving (a) the existence of a valid contract between the Bank and Petitioner, (b) ii performance or tendered performance by the Bank pursuant to the contract, (c) breach of the contract by Petitioner, and (d) damages sustained by the Bank as a result of Petitioner's breach 17 Conclusion and Prayer . 19 Certificate of Compliance 20 Certificate of Service 21 Appendix Tabs 1 - 9 m INDEX OF AUTHORITIES Cases State Farm Bank v.

Trial Court: Honorable Jason W. Wolff, County Court at Law No. Two, Bexar County, Texas. Trial Court's Disposition: The Trial Court granted summary judgment to the Bank. State Farm Bank v. Olivares, No. 370251 (Bexar County Court at Law No. Two, Order on Plaintiff's AmendedMotionfor Summary Judgment, filed May 8,2014), appeal dism'd, Olivares v. State Farm Bank, No. 14-00143-CV,
2014 WL 5649794(Tex. App. - San Antonio Nov. 5, 2014, pet. filed) (not designated for publication); CR Vol. 1, P. 444; Appx. 1. Court of Appeals: Fourth Court of Appeals, San Antonio, Texas (per curiam opinion). Court of Appeals' The Court ofAppeals, on its own initiative, dismissed Disposition: Petitioner's appeal because, despite several extensions of time and notices to do so, Petitioner failed to file a briefcontaining citations to the clerk's and reporter's records in the statement of facts and arguments sections of his brief. Olivares v. State Farm Bank, No. 14-00143-CV,
2014 WL 5649794(Tex. App. - San Antonio Nov. 5, 2014, pet. filed) (not designated for publication); Appx. 2. VI1 STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION This Court does not have jurisdiction under section 22.001(a)(6) of the Texas Government Code. The Court of Appeals, on its own initiative, correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal because, despite having access to the clerk's record and reporter's records provided to Petitioner free of charge at the offices of the Court of Appeals in accordance with its Local Rule 7.2(b) and despite several extensions of time and notices to do so, Petitioner failed to file an appellate briefcontaining proper citations to the clerk's and reporter's records in accordance with Rule 38.1(g) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. This case does not conflict with In re C.H.C,
331 S.W.3d 426(Tex. 2011). For this and other reasons, this Court should not exercise its discretionary jurisdiction in this instance. vm ISSUES PRESENTED 1. Is it reasonable that Petitioner, who admits in his self-styled "Appellant's Affidavit of Inability to Pay Appeal Costs" that he is able to pay the costs of "filing (gasoline [and] parking)[,] [p]leadings[,] and showing up for hearings" and who does not identify any specific physical or mental disability or impairment preventing him from doing so, has to inspect the clerk's and reporter's records (which were prepared without charge to Petitioner) at the offices of the Court of Appeals in accordance with its Local Rule 7.2(b)? 2. Did the Court of Appeals properly dismiss Petitioner's appeal because Petitioner, despite having access to the free-of-charge clerk's and reporter's records at the Court ofAppeals' offices and despite several extensions oftime and notices to do so, failed to file an appellate briefcontaining proper citations to the clerk's and reporter's records in accordance with Rule 38.1(g) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure? 3. Did the Trial Court properly grant summaryjudgment to the Bank where (a) the Bank presented competent evidence conclusively establishing (i) the . existence of a valid contract between the Bank and Petitioner, (ii) performance or tendered performance by the Bank pursuant to the contract, (iii) breach of the contract by Petitioner, and (iv) damages sustained by the Bank as a result of Petitioner's breach; and (b) Petitioner failedto offeranysummary-judgment proof to create a genuine issue of material fact as to his obligation? ix REASONS TO REFUSE REVIEW For purposes of Petitioner's appeal to the Court of Appeals of the summary judgment granted by the Trial Court, Petitioner requested that the clerk's and reporter's records relating to the Trial Court's proceedings be prepared and sent to the Courtof Appeals. See4th CT. DKT., DOC. Appellant's Affidavit ofInability to Pay Appeal Costs filed March 11, 2014; CR. Vol. 1, P. 303; Appx. 3. The records were prepared and sent to the Court of Appeals without charge to Petitioner. See 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Clerk's notice regarding receipt ofReporter's Record filed June 9, 2014; Clerk's notice regarding receipt, ofReporter'sRecord filed June 11, 2014; & Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Clerk's Record filed June 24, 2014. Rule 7.2(b) of the Local Rules of the Fourth Court of Appeals specifies that, unless otherwise ordered, "[p]arties who are representing themselves and are not licensed attorneys may inspect a record only in designated areas within the Court's offices." See 4th TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R. 7.2(b) at http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice-before-the-court/local-rules.aspx; see also TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. 51.204(a)(1) (Vernon 2015) (clerk of court of appeals "shall... file and carefully preserve records certified to the court and papers relative to the record"); TEX. R. APP. P. 12.3 ("[appellate] clerk must safeguard the record and every other item filed in a case"). The Local Rules of the Fourth Court of Appeals were adopted with the permission of this Court and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See 4th TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R, Order Adopting Local 1 Rules, at http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice-before-the-court/local-rules.aspx. Petitioner had access to the clerk's and reporter's records at the Court of Appeals' offices. See 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Order filed September 19, 2014; Appx. 4. In his self-styled "Appellant's Affidavit of Inability to Pay Appeal Costs," Petitioner admits on page 1 that he is able to pay the costs of "filing (gasoline [and] parking)[,] [p]leadings[,] and showing up for hearings." See 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Appellant's AffidavitofInability to Pay Appeal Costs filed March 11,2014; CR. Vol. 1, P. 303; Appx. 3. He does not allege any specific physical or mental disability or impairmentpreventing him from being able to appear at the Court ofAppeals' offices to examine the clerk's or reporter's records. See id.; Appx. 3. Absent some special circumstance that wouldmake on-premisesinspectionimpossibleor impracticable, the safeguards set out in Local Rule 7.2(b) are reasonable. See Barnes v. First Victoria NationalBank,878 S.W.2d 666, 667 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1994, no pet.). Further, an appellant such as Petitioner has an obligation under the Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure to file a briefcontaining recordreferences to support his, her, or its statement of the case. See Boiling v. Farmers Branch Independent School District,
315 S.W.3d 893, 895 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2010, no pet.); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(g). Here, despite having access to the clerk's and reporter's records and despite several extensions oftime and notices to do so, Petitioner failedto file a briefcontaining appropriate citations to the clerk's and reporter's records. See Olivares v. State Farm Bank,
2014 WL 5649794, at *1 (Tex. App. - San Antonio Nov. 5,2014, pet. filed) (not designated for publication); Appx. 2. The Court of Appeals therefore correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal ofthe Trial Court's summary judgment ruling. See Boiling v. Farmers Branch Independent School District,
315 S.W.3d 893, 897 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2010, no pet); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. In addition, the amended summaryjudgment motion filed in the Trial Court by the Bank included proofshowing (a) the existence ofa valid contract between the Bank and Petitioner, (b) perfonnance or tender ofperformance by the Bank under the contract, (c) Petitioner's breach ofthe contract, and (d) the damages sustained by the Bank as a result ofPetitioner's breach ofthe contract. CR Vol. 1,P. 314;Appx. 5. WhilePetitionerfiled an untimely response to the Bank's amended motion for summaryjudgment3, he did not attach any affidavit or summary-judgment evidence. CR Vol. 1. P. 407: Appx. 8. As such, Petitioner's response did not raise a genuine issue of material fact as to his obligation and the Trial Court correctly granted summary judgment to the Bank. See Wakefield v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
2013 WL 4414826, at *4 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] Nov. 14, 2013, no pet.) (not designated for publication). This Court should accordinglyTefuse review. 3Petitioner's response was filed without leave of the Trial Court on May 5, 2014, which was three (3) days before the scheduled May 8, 2014 hearing on the Bank's amended summary judgment hearing. CR Vol. 1, P. 433; Appx. 6. According to the records obtained directlyfrom the Bexar County Clerk's Office, the Trial Court ordered on May 8, 2014, that Petitioner's late-filed response be struck. Appx. 7. The clerk's record sent to the Court of Appeals does not, however, contain a signed counterpart oftheTrialCourt's Orderto StrikeDefendant's Response to Plaintiffs Motionfor Summary Judgment. Subject to and without waiver of the Bank's right to seek supplementation of the clerk's record, this brief will therefore proceed as if Petitioner's late-filed response had not been so stricken. STATEMENT OF FACTS Respondent State FarmBank, F.S.B. ("Respondent" or "Bank") brought Cause No. 370251 against Petitioner Dennis Olivares ("Petitioner") in the Bexar County Court at Law No. Two ("Trial Court") for breach of contract arising out of Petitioner's default on a credit card account. CR Vol. 1, P. 11. The Bank filed an amended summary judgment motion and the hearing on the motion was set for May 8,2014. CR Vol. 1, P. 314 & 433; Appx. 5 & 6. In support of its amended summary judgment motion, the Bank attached a Business Records Affidavit and some fifty-two (52) pages of records showing the existence ofa valid contract between the Bank and Petitioner, performanceor tendered performanceby the Bank pursuant to the contract, Petitioner's breach ofthe contract, and the damages sustained by the Bank as a result of Petitioner's breach. CR Vol. 1, P. 314; Appx. 5. Petitioner submitted without leave of the Trial Court an untimely response to the Bank's amended summaryjudgment motion on May5,2014, whichwasthree (3) days before the scheduled May 8, 2014 summaryjudgment hearing4. CR Vol. 1, P. 407 & 433; Appx. 6 & 8. No affidavit or summary-judgment evidence was attached 4As mentioned, according to the records obtained directlyfrom the Bexar County Clerk's Office, the Trial Courtordered on May 8,2014, that Petitioner's late-filedresponsebe struck. Appx. 7. The clerk's record sent to the Court of Appeals does not, however, contain a signed counterpart of the Trial Court's Order to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment. Subject to and without waiver of theBank's right to seeksupplementation ofthe clerk's record, this brief proceeds as if Petitioner's late-filed response had not been so stricken. to Petitioner's response5. CRVol. 1. P. 407: Appx. 8: & CR Vol. 1,P. 115. On May 8,2014, the Trial Court granted the Bank's amended motion for summaryjudgment. CRVol. 1. P. 444: Appx. 1. Petitioner, albeit prematurely, filed an appeal of Cause No. 370251 with the Fourth Court of Appeals ("Court of Appeals) on March 3, 2014. 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Defendant's Notice ofAppeal filed March 3, 2014. He filed his "Appellant's Affidavit ofInability to Pay Appeal Costs" on March 11,2014, in which he asked that the clerk's and reporter's records be prepared without cost to him. 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Appellant's Affidavit ofInability to Pay Appeal Costs filed March 11, 2014; CR. Vol. 1, P. 303; Appx. 3. In his Affidavit, Petitioner admitted on page 1 that he was able to pay the costs of "filing (gasoline [and] parking)[,] [p]leadings[,] and showing up for hearings" and he did not identify any specific physical disability or impairment preventing him from being able to appear at the Court ofAppeals' offices to examine the clerk's or reporter's records. Id.: Appx. 3. The clerk's and reporter's records were prepared at no cost to Petitioner and sentto the Court ofAppeals on June 9,11, and24,2014, respectively. 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Reporter's Record filed June 9, 2014; 5Although Petitioner's late-filed response refers on page 4 to "the Affidavit attached to Defendant's Original Opposition/Objection to Summaryjudgment," there was no such "Affidavit." CR Vol. 1, P. 115. Petitioner appears to be equating a verified response with an affidavit, which it is not. See Webster v. Allstate Insurance Co.,833 S.W.2d 747,749 (Tex. App. - Houston [1st Dist] 1992, no pet.). Clerk's notice regarding receipt ofReporter's Record filed June 11,2014; & Clerk's notice regarding receipt ofClerk's Record filed June 24, 2014. After extensions of time to do so, Petitioner filed his initial appellate briefon August 12, 2014. 4™ CT. DKT., DOC. Appellant's Initial Brief'filed August 12,2014. On August 14,2014, the Court ofAppeals, on its own initiative, observed that no citations to the clerk's or reporter's records were contained in the statement of facts and arguments sections of Petitioner's brief. 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Order filed August 14, 2014; Appx. 9. The Court of Appeals therefore ordered that Petitioner's brief be stricken from the appellate record and that Petitioner file by September 15, 2014, an amended brief complying with Rule 38.1(g) and (i) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Id.; Appx. 9. On September 13,2014, Petitioner filed a motion requesting copies ofthe clerk's and reporter's records. 4th CT. DKT., DOC. Appellant's Motion for Release of Transcripts toAnnotateInitial Brief'filed September 13,2014. In his motion, Petitioner acknowledged that he had been informed that he had to review the records in the offices ofthe Court ofAppeals pursuant to Local Rule 7.2(b).
Id. & PX2 attached to same. He againdid not identifyanyspecificphysicaldisabilityorimpairment preventinghimfrom being able to appear at the Court ofAppeals' offices to examinethe clerk's or reporter's records (nor did he explain why he could not take a bus, ride a bicycle, or solicit a ride from someone to travel to the Court of Appeals' offices).
Id. The Courtof Appeals denied Petitioner's motion on September 19, 2014, and ordered that he file an amended brief containing appropriate record citations by October 3, 2014. 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Order filed September 19, 2014; Appx. 4. The Court of Appeals additionally warned Petitioner that, if he did not do so, his appeal would be dismissed for failure to comply the Court of Appeals' order. Id.; Appx. 4. Petitioner did not file an amended brief containing appropriate record references in the statement of facts and arguments sections ofhis briefby the October 3, 2014 deadline. Because Petitioner did not comply with the Court of Appeals' order, his appeal was dismissed on November 5,2014. Olivares v. State Farm Bank,
2014 WL 5649794, at *1 (Tex. App. - San Antonio Nov. 5, 2014, pet. filed) (not designated for publication); Appx. 2. Thereafter, on December 22, 2014, Petitioner filed his petition seeking this Court's review of the Court of Appeals' dismissal ruling. SUP. CT. DKT, DOC. Petition for Review filed December 22, 2014. 7 SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT Petitioner seeks review of the Court ofAppeals' November 5, 2014 dismissal order, contending that it conflicts with this Court's decision in In re C.H.C,
331 S.W.3d 426(Tex. 2011). It does not. Petitioner's contentions are disingenuous and misplaced because: 1. Petitioner was provided with the clerk's and reporter's records for purposes of his appeal at no charge. See 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Reporter's Record filed June 9, 2014; Clerk's notice regarding receipt ofReporter's Record filed June 11, 2014; & Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Clerk's Record filed June 24, 2014. The records were maintained by the Clerk of the Court of Appeals and Petitioner had access to them at the offices of the Court of Appeals in accordance with its Local Rule 7.2(b). See 4th TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R. 7.2(b) at http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/ practice-before-the-court/local-rules aspx. 2. In his self-styled "Appellant's Affidavit of Inability to Pay Appeal Costs," Petitioner admits on page 1 that he is able to pay the costs of "filing (gasoline [and] parking)[,] [p]leadings[,] and showing up for hearings." See 4™ CT. DKT, DOC. Appellant's Affidavit ofInability toPay Appeal Costs filed March 11,2014; CR. Vol. 1, P. 303; Appx. 3. He does not allege any specific physical disability or impairment 8 preventing him from being able to appear at the Court of Appeals' offices to examine the clerk's or reporter's records. Id.; Appx. 3. Absent some special circumstance that would make on-premises inspection impossible or impracticable, the safeguards set out in Local Rule 7.2(b) are reasonable. See Barnes v. First Victoria National Bank,
878 S.W.2d 666, 667 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1994, no pet.). 3. Petitioner has an obligation under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure to file a brief containing record references to support his, her, or its statement of the case. See Boiling v. Farmers Branch Independent School District,
315 S.W.3d 893,895 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2010, no pet.); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(g). Here, despite having access to the clerk's and reporter's records (which were prepared and sent to the Court of Appeals without charge to Petitioner) and despite several extensions of time and notices to do so, Petitioner failed to file a brief containing appropriate citations to the clerk's and reporter's records. See Olivares v. StateFarm Bank,
2014 WL 5649794, at *1 (Tex. App. - San Antonio Nov. 5, 2014, pet. filed) (not designated for publication); Appx. 2. The Court ofAppeals therefore correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal ofthe Trial Court's summaryjudgment ruling. See Boiling v. FarmersBranch Independent School District,
315 S.W.3d 893, 897 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2010, no pet.); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. 4. The amended summaryjudgment motion filed in the Trial Court by the Bank included proof showing (a) the existence of a valid contract between the Bank and Petitioner, (b) performance or tender of performance by the Bank under the contract, (c) Petitioner's breach of the contract, and (d) the damages sustained by the Bank as a result of Petitioner's breach of the contract. CR Vol. 1, P. 314; Appx. 5. Petitioner, without leave of the Trial Court, submitted an untimely response totheBank'samended summaryjudgment motion6 thatdid not include any affidavit or summary-judgment evidence. CR Vol. 1, P. 407; Appx. 8. As such, Petitioner's response did not raise a genuine issue of material fact as to his obligation and the Trial Court correctly granted summaryjudgment to the Bank. See Wakefield v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
2013 WL 4414826, at *4 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] Nov. 14, 2013, no pet.) (not designated for publication); see also Quanaim v. Frasco Restaurant & Catering,
17 S.W.3d 30, 42 (Tex. App. - Houston 14th Dist. 2000, pet. denied). 6As previously noted, Petitioner's response was filed without leave of the Trial Court on May 5, 2014, which was three (3) days before the scheduled May 8, 2014 hearing on the Bank's amended summaryjudgment hearing. CR Vol. 1, P. 433; Appx. 6. The records obtained directly from the Bexar County Clerk's Office indicate that the Trial Court ordered on May 8, 2014, that, Petitioner's late-filed response be struck. Appx. 7. A signed counterpart of the Trial Court's Order to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment is not at this time included in the clerk's record sent to the Court ofAppeals, however. Given this, and subject to and without waiver ofthe Bank's right to seek supplementation of the clerk's record, this briefproceeds as if Petitioner's late-filed response had not been so stricken. 10 ARGUMENT I. Petitioner was provided with the clerk's and reporter's records free of charge for purposes ofhis appeal from the summary judgment granted to the Bank and Local Rule 7.2(b) established reasonable safeguards relating to Petitioner's access to those records. It is undisputed that the clerk's and reporter's records were prepared and sent to the Courtof Appeals free ofchargeto Petitioner. See4th CT. DKT, DOC. Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Reporter's Record filed June 9, 2014; Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Reporter's Record filed June 11, 2014; & Clerk's notice regarding receipt of Clerk's Record filed June 24, 2014. This comports with this Court's pronouncement in In re C.H.C,
331 S.W.3d 426,429 (Tex. 2011) regarding an indigent party's right to a free record for purposes of an appeal. It is also undisputed that Petitioner was informed by the Court ofAppeals that he must review the records at the offices of the Court of Appeals pursuant to its Local Rule 7.2(b). See 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Order filed September 19, 2014; Appx. 4. The Clerk of the Court of Appeals is, by statute and by rule, assigned the duty to protect the record and every item filed in a case. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. 51.204(a)(1) (Vernon 2015) (clerk of court of appeals "shall ... file and carefully preserve records certified to the court and papers relative to the record"); TEX. R. APP. P. 12.3 ("[appellate] clerk must safeguard the record and every other item filed in a case"). In furtherance of this duty, Local Rule 7.2(b) specifies that, unless otherwise ordered, "[p]arties who are representing themselves and are not licensed 11 attorneys may inspect a record only in designated areas within the Court's offices." See 4th TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R. 7.2(b) at http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice-before-the-court/local-rules.aspx. Local Rule 7.2(b) was adopted by the Court of Appeals with the permission of this Court and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See 4th TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. R, Order Adopting Local Rules, at http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice- before-the-court/local-rules.aspx. Courts may establish rules that govern the prosecution of appeals so long as they are reasonable and do not amount to a denial ofjustice. See, e.g., TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.004(a) (Vernon 2015) (supreme court invested with rule-making power in practice and procedure in civil actions but rules may not abridge, enlarge, or modify litigant's substantive rights); TEX. R. APP. P. 1.2 (appellate court may, with permission ofsupreme court, promulgate local rules not inconsistent with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure); TEX. R. CIV. P. 3a (judicial regions and district, county, and probate courts may, with permission of supreme court, make local rules not inconsistent with Texas Rules of Civil Procedure or rules of administrative judicial region where court located). Absent some special circumstance that would make on-premises inspection by Petitioner of the clerk's and reporter's records impossible or impracticable, the safeguards set out in Local Rule 7.2(b) are reasonable. See Barnes v. First Victoria National Bank, SIS S.W.2d 666, 667 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1994, no pet.). 12 The Barnes decision dealt with a situation substantially identical to that presented in this case. There, notice was given by the appellate court to a pro se petitioner, Ms. Carolyn Barnes, that her appeal would be dismissed if she did not file a response showing grounds for continuing her appeal in light ofher failure to comply with the trial court's order increasing bond. Ms. Barnes submitted a motion to check out the appellate record and a motion for additional time to file a response. In her motion, Ms. Barnes contended that a denial ofher request to check out the record amounted to a denial ofher right to adequately respond to the notice of intent to dismiss her appeal. The Corpus Christi Court of Appeals denied Ms. Barnes' motion, explaining: ... [T]he [Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure] are silent concerning the restrictions which an appellate court may place on such possession, especially by a non-attorney, who is not an officer of the court subject to the same rules and standards of scrutiny as an attorney. Accordingly, this Court has followed the policy of allowing pro se parties to inspect the transcript only on the premises of the Court. Appellant [Ms. Barnes] has not alleged that she is unable to adequately inspect the transcript on the premises of this Court, nor has she alleged any specific disability to her being physically present at the Court for such an inspection. In the absence ofsome special circumstance that would make on-premises inspection impossible or impractical, this Court's policy is reasonable. Accordingly, appellant's motion to check out the transcript is denied. SeeBarnes, 878 S.W.2d at 667. Here, Petitioner admitted on page 1 of his "Appellant's Affidavit of Inability to Pay Appeal Costs" that he is able to pay the costs of "filing (gasoline [and] parking)[J [p]leadings[,] and showing up for hearings." See 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Appellant's Affidavit ofInability toPayAppealCosts filed March 11,2014; CR. Vol. 13 1, P. 303; Appx. 3. Petitioner did not allege any specific physical disability or impairment preventing him from being able to appear at the Court ofAppeals' offices to examine the clerk's or reporter's records (nor did he even attempt to explain why he would have been unable to take a bus, use a bicycle, or solicit a ride from someone to travel to the offices ofthe Court of Appeals sometime during the eighty-three [83] day period between August 14, 2014, when the Court of Appeals notified Petitioner that he needed to file an appellate briefcontaining appropriate record references, and November 5, 2014, the date on which the Court of Appeals dismissed Petitioner's appeal because he failed to file a compliant brief). See id.; Appx. 3: cf. In re Guardianship ofOlivares,
2008 WL 5206169, at *2 (Tex. App. - Amarillo Dec. 12, 2008, pet. denied) (not designated for publication) (referring to Petitioner and stating fact-finder could reasonably conclude "[Mr.] Olivares has the ability to earn wages and care for himself... [but] opted to live offhis potentially incapacitated mother and expend her finite estate for his own benefit"). While Petitioner, as a claimed indigent, may be entitled to have the clerk's and reporter's records prepared without charge to him and sent to the Court of Appeals where he has access to the records for purposes of his appeal, he is not entitled to receive his own personal copy of the records at additional public expense. Under these facts, the application of Rule 7.2(b) to Petitioner was and is reasonable. See Barnes v. First Victoria National Bank,
878 S.W.2d 666, 667 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1994, no pet). 14 II. The Court of Appeals correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal because, despite having access to the free-of-charge clerk's and reporter's records at the Court of Appeals' offices and despite several extensions oftime and notices to do so, Petitioner failed to file a brief complying with Rule 38.1(g) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. A pro se litigant such as Petitioner is allowed to represent himself or herself at trial or on appeal. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 7. Self-representation carries with it the responsibility to comply with applicable rules and procedures, including the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure if a pro se litigant chooses to represent himself or herself at the appellate level. See Mansfield State Bank v. Cohn,
573 S.W.2d 181, 184-185 (Tex. 1978); see also Mitchell v. Dallas County,
2014 WL 7685422, at *1 (Tex. App. - Dallas Dec. 18,2014, no pet.) (not designated for publication); Strange v. Continental Casualty Co.,
126 S.W.3d 676, 678 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2004, pet. denied), cert, denied,
543 U.S. 1076(2005). In particular, a pro se litigant such as Petitioner is obligated under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure to file a brief containing record references to support his, her, or its statement of the case. See Boiling v. Farmers Branch Independent School District,
315 S.W.3d 893, 895 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2010, no pet.); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(g). The appellate court may, on its own initiative after giving ten (10) days notice, dismiss an appeal because an appellant has failed to comply the Appellate Rules, a court order, or a notice from the Clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified period of time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. 15 Petitioner was ordered on August 14,2014, by the Court of Appeals to file an appellate brief containing appropriate record citations no later than September 15, 2014. See 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Order filed August 14, 2014; Appx. 9. Petitioner was aware that he was to review the clerk's and reporter's records (which were prepared without cost to Petitioner) at the offices of the Court of Appeals. See 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Order filed September 19, 2014; Appx. 4. Because no compliant brief was filed by Petitioner by September 15,2014, Petitioner was again ordered on September 19, 2014, by the Court of Appeals to file an appellate brief with appropriate record citations; the deadline to do so was extended to October 3, 2014; and Petitioner was warned by the Court of Appeals that his appeal would be dismissed if he did not complywith the Court of Appeals' order. See 4th CT. DKT, DOC. Order filed September 19, 2014; Appx. 4. Despite the August 14, 2014 and September 19, 2014 orders of the Court of / Appeals, Petitioner failed to file an appellate brief containing appropriate record citations by the required October 3,2014 deadline. See Olivares v. State Farm Bank,
2014 WL 5649794, at *1 (Tex. App. - San Antonio Nov. 5, 2014, pet. filed) (not designated for publication); Appx. 2. Given this, on November 5,2014, the Court of Appeals correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal. See Boiling v. Farmers Branch Independent School District,
315 S.W.3d 893,897 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2010, no pet.); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. 16 III. The Trial Court correctly granted summary judgment to the Bank as it presented competent, uncontroverted evidence conclusively proving (a) the existence of a valid contract between the Bank and Petitioner, (b) performance or tendered performance by the Bank pursuant to the contract, (c) breach of the contract by Petitioner, and (d) damages sustained by the Bank as a result of Petitioner's breach. The amended summary judgment motion filed in the Trial Court by the Bank included a Business Records Affidavit and some fifty-two (52) pages of records showing the existence of a contract between the Bank and Petitioner, performance or tendered performance by the Bank under the contract, Petitioner's breach of the contract, and the damages sustained by the Bank as a result of Petitioner's breach. See CR Vol. 1, P. 314; Appx. 5. Petitioner, without leave of the Trial Court, submitted an untimely response to the Bank's amended summaryjudgment motion on May 5, 2014, which was three (3) days before the scheduled May 8, 2014 summaryjudgment hearing7. CR Vol. 1, P. 407 & 433; Appx. 6 & 8. No affidavit or summary-judgment evidence was attached to Petitioner's response8. CR Vol. 1, P. 407: Appx. 8: & CR Vol. 1, P. 115. 7 As earlier discussed, the records obtained directly from the Bexar County Clerk's Office indicate that the Trial Court ordered on May 8, 2014, that Petitioner's late-filed response be struck. Appx. 7. The clerk's record sent to the Court of Appeals does not, however, contain a signed counterpart of the Trial Court's Order to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment. Subject to and without waiverof theBank's rightto seeksupplementation of the clerk's record, this brief proceeds as if Petitioner's late-filed response had not been so stricken. 8As also previously discussed, although Petitioner's late-filed response refers on page 4 to "the Affidavit attached to Defendant's Original Opposition/Objection to Summaryjudgment," there was no such "Affidavit." CRVol. 1, P. 115. It appears that Petitioner is equating a verified response with an affidavit, which it is not. See Webster v. Allstate Insurance Co.,
833 S.W.2d 747, 749 (Tex. App. - Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, no pet.). 17 It is well settled that a summary-judgment response, even if verified, is not summary-judgment proof. See Quanaim v. Frasco Restaurant & Catering,
17 S.W.3d 30, 42 (Tex. App. - Houston 14th Dist. 2000, pet. denied). As a result, Petitioner did not produce any evidence to controvert to the Bank's amended motion for summary judgment and he did not raise any material fact issues as to his obligation9. SeeStrachan v. FIA Card Services,
2011 WL 794958, at *3 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] March 8, 2011, pet. denied) (not designated for publication). Because the Bank's amended summaryjudgment motion was sufficiently supported by competent evidence, such evidence was uncontroverted, and there were no genuine issues of material fact, the Trial Court correctly granted summary judgment to the Bank. See Wakefield v. WellsFargo Bank, N.A.,
2013 WL 4414826, at *4 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] Nov. 14, 2013, no pet.) (not designated for publication). 9Even if the statements set out in Petitioner's response were somehow allowed as evidence (which they are not), statements consisting only of conclusions are insufficient to raise an issue of fact. See Keenan v. Gibraltar Savings Association,
754 S.W.2d 392, 393 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist] 1988, no writ) (citing Life Insurance Co. of Virginia v. Gar-Dai, Inc.,
570 S.W.2d 378, 382 [Tex. 1978]). 18 CONCLUSION AND PRAYER The Court of Appeals, on its own initiative, correctly dismissed Petitioner's appeal because, despite having access to the clerk's record and reporter's records provided to Petitioner free of charge at the offices of the Court of Appeals in accordance with its Local Rule 7.2(b) and despite several extensions of time and notices to do so, Petitioner failed to file an appellate brief containing proper citations to the clerk's and reporter's records in accordance with Rule 38.1(g) ofthe Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure. This case does not conflict within reC.H. C,
331 S.W.3d 426(Tex. 2011). In addition, the Trial Court correctly granted summaryjudgment to the Bank because it was sufficiently supported by competent evidence, such evidence was uncontroverted, and there were no genuine issues of material fact. For this and other reasons, this Court should not exercise its discretionary jurisdiction in this instance and the petition for review should be denied. The Bank also respectfully requests any additional relief to which it may be entitled. Respectfully submitted, JONES, ANDREWS & ORTIZ, P.C. Bv: /s/ Rav R.

NUlflftttrtWWO. TEXAS 03/11/2014 7:44:02 PM KEITH E. HOTTLE DENNIS OLIVARES, Clerk Defendant . BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS APPELLANT'S AFFIDAVIT OF INABILITY TO PAY APPEAL COSTS TO THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Defendant hereby submits to this Court this duplicative Affidavit of Indigence whose averments were embedded in earlier Motions and Affidavits submitted in this Case and the companion federal Case No. SA-12-CA-1071-HLH. By submitting this Document, Defendant- Appellant seeks to continue defending himself in this Cause and his appeals therefrom without further costs and fees assessed him in any jurisdiction; he has no present ability to pay anything beyond the bare costs of researching, producing, copying, notarizing, and filing (gasoline + parking) Pleadings and showing up for hearings. This is hardship enough. Defendant lacks the cadre of paralegals and secretaries of his Opponents. 1. I am Dennis Olivares, pro se, the Defendant in the above-cited Cause. I am the Appellant in Appeal No. 04-14-00143-CV. I am of sound mind and capable of making this Affidavit and associated Motions and Appeals. 2. I began my defense in this Cause pro se back in December, 2011, and proceeded alone until I was able to retain Bill Clanton, Esq. on October 17, 2012. Having been deserted by that attorney last June— over disputes relating to the prosecution of discovery in the federal offshoot FDCPA Case— I have resumed proceeding pro se in this Cause since then. I remain indigent all that time and into the foreseeable future. 3. I first submitted an Affidavit regarding my indigent state in my Answer and Affidavit in Support of Objections... & Opposition to Summary Tudgment Motion dated September 14, 2012. At least one parallel Affidavit was also filed last August as part of a successful Opposition to Summary Tudgment in federal court for companion Case No. SA-12-CA-1071-HLH. 4. The estimated costs of the Reporter's Records are $150 for the typed Transcript of the Hearing of December 20th and $275 for the Rehearing of January 31st. The estimated cost of the Clerk's Record is negligible since less than a dozen short Pleadings are indicated. 5. I have no regular income from any source since 2001 and have filed no tax returns as a result. There is no requirement to file if total income does not exceed $6500. I made $900 in 2008. I've not been able to earn much more than halfof that in any year since! This year may be different: So far, I've earned $400 editing commercial copy for a friend. 6. Rather, I have been borrowing money from friends and relatives and doing odd jobs and ghostwriting when I can find such opportunities. I was actively seeking employment commensurate with my education, training, professional experience and career interests. However in the last few years, I've been trying to secure employment doing anything! I had no idea it would be so difficult to secure a decent job in this local market when I moved back home in 2001. I remain optimistic as something is sure to come around in due course since I am not without considerable qualifications, achievement or positive work habits, but I am increasingly 2 being made to face the fact that I am simply one of the 44 million chronically unemployed in this nation's sad economy. The longer I remain unemployed, the more certain I never will be again! I haven't drawn a regular paycheck since my 13-year employment as a NASA spacecraft engineer ended in 1999. That's a 15-year losing streak! 7. For the record, I am owed $8350 from another indigent in California after a successful mail-fraud prosecution 3 years ago, but I have not and will never see another dime of that court- ordered restitution since the court sent me a check for $220 several years ago. 8. I have no spouse or any dependents who could help extricate me from this unfortunate economic situation. 9. Exhibit 1 is a single Document which demonstrates my continuing indigence by virtue of his most recent grant of $189/month in Food Stamps (SNAP). I've now been receiving such public assistance for 3.5 years. 10. Exhibit 2 is another Document demonstrating my indigence by virtue of his receiving $748 which turned into a net credit to CPS (gas/electric utility) in the amount of $761 for the forthcoming winter of 2011 from Bexar County's Energy Crisis Program. That bill had been building for over 2 years to that level. It is hoped that such evidence of Defendant's penurious situation will show legitimate poverty and not some cynical attempt to skip-out on debts. - 11. I do not currently own any real or significant personal property. As a potential beneficiary of my Parents' Living Trust, I have a possible one-third future interest in the following real property: a single-family dwelling on a quarter-acre located here in town at 10935 Whisper Ridge, which has been my domiciliary since 1969. I can raise no money from this potential future asset at this time since I do not own any part of it yet, and the IRS has an illicit Lien (Exhibit 3) for upwards of $230,000 on it should I ever get any form of legal ownership of or interest in any real property! 12. I have about $15 cash in my wallet today and no checking account for the past 5 years. Even these funds originated as loans from my Aunt Trinidad and other friends and relatives. 13. My other assets include: One 1991 GMC Sonoma/Syclone pick-up which no longer runs reliably... smokes (burns oil) furiously and needs body work. I also own a 1989 Pontiac Trans Am, and a 1992 GMC Jimmy/Typhoon which are all in pieces and haven't run in years! They are potential vehicles at best and have virtually no resale value in their current disassembled condition; none is less than a month away from being rendered road-worthy and offered for sale even if I could afford the time and hundreds to thousands of dollars it would take me to get any one of these hot-rods rebuilt, tested, licensed, inspected, and painted (especially the Syclone and Typhoon). Even if I were willing to overlook the enormous amounts of time and money I poured into these vehicles in years past— always planning to sell at least two of them— the total scrap value of any three of these works-in-progress would not net me even half of what I need to fund this appeal and further litigation with these truculent Plaintiffs. 14. I have no other personal assets— books, tools, clothes, records/CDs— that are not too old, worn, and/or water-damaged to be of any marketable worth sufficient to generate even a fraction of the amounts needed to survive at current Spartan levels and pay to exercise my own civil rights of self-defense in this Cause. Moreover, I do not believe I can be legally compelled to divest myself of personalty required to enable me to secure new employment and make a living. 4 15. My monthly expenses are borne completely on my last unexpired credit card ($1000 limit). These expenses vary with unforeseen household exigencies but essentially are fairly stable each month and include: $30 for gasoline (when driving), car taxes, and insurance; $220 for utilities; $5 for church and charities; $20 for credit card minimum; $90 for food (non- SNAP), vitamins, and diabetic medicine; and maybe $50 for miscellaneous, including this litigation... yielding a monthly total of just under $415. Because my actual outlays are primarily driven by minimum payments on the credit card, I never pay that full total in any given month, which is part of the reason I have been able to stretch my resources so far. Annually, I'm usually able to survive in my current situation on between $3300 to 4700 per year. 16. I am not able to obtain a separate loan to pay for the costs of this Appeal or any other element of this litigation because the money I have been using for the past five years to pay my credit card is already loans intended solely for bare-survival needs. I'd get cut off fairly quickly if it became known I was borrowing scarce funds to dump into the legal system. In my present state of unemployment, with no collateral, I am not able to secure any further commercial credit beyond what I already have. 17. The Exhibits herewith attached are true, verifiable documents that exist on the hard-drive of Defendant's desktop computer and in his paper files; they have not been altered in any way except for obvious black notations, receipt-stamps, and/or highlights. 18. That I am truly indigent is supported by the readily verifiable fact that not one of my Opponents nor any court official in either federal or Bexar County has ever questioned or challenged my penurious circumstances. They are unlikely to do so now, except as a further waste of courts' time and my own dwindling resources.... 5 Verification STATE OF TEXAS § § COUNTY OF BEXAR § Before me, the undersigned notary, on this day personally appeared DENNIS OLIVARES, and after being by me duly sworn, upon his oath, stated as follows: "My name is DENNIS OLIVARES.

116 S.W.2d 551, 556 (Tex.1989).{emphasis added). The Texas SupremeCourt has encouraged the use of summaryjudgment in order to avoid the delays of trial when there is no genuine issue of material fact. City ofHouston v. Clear Creek Basin Authority,589 S.W.2d 671, 676 (Te,, 1979). B. Elements of Breach of Contract Claim To beentitled to summar>T*Hgment on itsbreach ofcontract claim, Pl^WlMffis required to prove, asa matter of law, the essential elements of breach of contract claim: (1) the existence of a valid contract between the Plaintiff and Defendant; (2) performance or tendered performance by the Plaintiff; (3) breach of the contract by the Defendant; and (4) damages sustainedas a result of the breach. PrimeProducts, Inc. V. S.S.I. Plastics, Inc., 97 S.W.3d 631(Tex.App- Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, pet. denied.). /. ValidContractfor CreditExists Between Plaintiffand Defendant This lawsuit arises from Defendant's default on a credit card account. All across Texas, courts have held that a signed contract and/or application for credit is not necessary to establish the existence of a valid contract for a credit card account. The Texas Supreme Court has held that a party may be bound by an agreement even without a signed agreement, provided that the actions of the parties reflect a mutual intent to be bound. Haws & Garrett Gen. Contractors, Inc. v. GorbettBros. Welding Co., 480 S.W.2d 607,609-10 (Tex. 1972). Courts have extended the Texas Supreme Court's reasoning to apply specifically in credit card account cases. In Jones v. Citibank, the Fort Worth Court of Appeals held that "even if appellant never signed the card agreement, under Texas law, she entered into a contract with appellee by accepting the benefits of their arrangement." Jones v. Citibank, N.A.,
235 S.W.3d 333, 338-39 (Tex.App.- Ft. Worth [2nd Dist.], 2007). The Houston Court of Appeals held that it is not even necessary to prove that a copy of the contract was delivered because use of the credit card and payments on the account can manifest intent that a contract become effective. Winchekv. American Exp. Travel Related, Til S.W.3d 197, 204 (Tex.App.-Houston [1 Dist.], 2007). Similar decisions have also been reached by the Dallas Court of Appeals and the El Paso Court of Appeals. See Hinojosa v. Citibank (South Dakota), N.A. 2008 TexApp. Lexis 1532, at 7 (Tex.App.-Dallas [5thDist.], 2008) (regardless of application of Federal or Texas law contract found to exist where credit card was issued and appellant used card); see also Benser v. Citibank (South Dakota) N.A.,
2000 WL 1231386, at *5 (Tex.App.-El Paso, Aug. 31, 2000, no pet.) (not designated for publication) (court concluded that use of card and payments to account showed cardholder understood obligation and that contract was formed). Federal case law further supports the position that a signed contract and/or application is not necessary to establish the existence of a valid contract. See Stinger v. Chase Bank, 265 Fed. Appx. 224, 227 (2008) (by using the credit card appellant demonstrated an intent to be bound by the credit agreement and no signed contract required); Heiges v. JP Morgan ChaseBank, N.A.,
521 F. Supp. 2d 641, 647 (N.D. Ohio, 2007) (issuance and use of credit card create a legally binding agreementand no signed application is needed); BankofAm. v. Jarczyk,
268 B.R. 17, 22 (Bankr.W.D.N.Y. 2001) (issuance of credit card constitutes an offer and use of credit card constitutes acceptance); Coleman v. Assurant, Inc., 508 F.Sup{J.2d 862, 867 (2007) (Under Delaware law a person may assent to the terms of a credit agreement by using the credit card). Based on the foregoing authority, Plaintiffwould show that it hasproduced sufficient evidence to establish the existence of a contract between Plaintiff and Defendant for the extension of credit. Plaintiff has attached hereto a businessrecordsaffidavit, which authenticates account statements for the credit accountmadethe basis of this lawsuit. The account statements contain Defendant's name, the billing address where the statements were sent, the account number, and reflect purchases, cash advances and/or payments made on the account. Asthe court in Winchek held, a contract for credit is created when the cardholder uses the card.Winchek, 232 S.W.3d at 204The account statements 315 offered by Plaintiff show that Defendant used the card in question and thus, a valid contract for credit has been established. 2. PlaintiffTendered Performance^***1 **>¥& In a case such as this one, involving a breach of contract claim arising from a credit card account, a card issuer tenders performanceby permitting a cardholder to use the credit card account to make purchases and/or obtain cash advances and defer payment for those transactions. The card issuer pays for the transactions and/or cash advances on behalf of the cardholder in exchangefor the cardholder's promise to pay the card issuer back at a later date, with interest rate charges, late fees and other potential charges to apply as consideration for the cardholder's ability to defer payment. In the present case, Plaintiff has produced account statements reflecting that charges were incurred on and/or payments from Defendant were credited to the credit account in question. By permitting Defendant to incur those charges and defer payment for those charges, Plaintiff tendered performance. The previously cited Texas cases involving credit card accounts involved similar facts and evidence, and support Plaintiffs position that the activity reflected in the account statements attached hereto are sufficient proof that Plaintiff tendered performance under the contract. See Jones,
235 S.W.3d 338-39;
Winchek, 232 S.W.3d at 204; Hinojosa, 2008 Tex.App. Lexis 1532, at *7; Benser,
2000 WL 1231386, at *5; and see also Duran v. Citibank (South Dakota), N.A., 2008 Tex.App. Lexis 2060, at *10-11 (Tex.App.-Houston [1stDist.], 2008). 3. Defendant Breached the Contractfor Credit The account statements presented by Plaintiffin this case establish that charges wereincurred on the credit account in question and that a balance was due on said account. The account statements further provide a "minimum payment due" for each monthly cycle as well as a payment due date. The account statements show that Defendant made payment on the account, but then stopped payments on the account despite a balance remaining due. As such, the evidence offered by Plaintiff clearly establish Defendant's breach of the contract for credit with Plaintiff. Again, Plaintiffs argument in this regard is supported by the previously cited Texas cases, wherein various courts of appeals have held that a cardholder's breach of a contract for credit can be established through account statements. See Jones,
235 S.W.3d 338-39;
Winchek, 232 S.W.3d at 204; Hinojosa, 2008 Tex.App. Lexis 1532, at 7; Benser,
2000 WL 1231386, / at *5; and Duran, 2008 TexApp. Lexis 2060,at*l(Ml. 4. Damages Sustained As A Result ofBreach The account statements attached hereto show that a remaining balance of $13,612.07 is owed on the account as a result of Defendant's failure to pay for charges incurred on the account. The amount sought for recovery by Plaintiff in its Petition matches the remaining balance set forth in said account statement. As such, Plaintiffs damages are liquidated as they can be readily ascertained from a written instrument. Plaintiffs argumentin this regard is supported by. the previously citedTexas cases, wherein various courts of appeals haveheld that a card issuer's damages resulting from a cardholder's breach can be established through account statements. See Jones,
235 S.W.3d 338-39;
Winchek, 232 S.W.3d at 204;Hinojosa, 2008 Tex.App. Lexis 1532,at 7; Benser, 2000WL 1231386, at *5; and Duran, 2008 Tex.App. Lexis 2060, at* 10-11. 316 C. Evidence and Case Law Sunnort Entry of Summary Judgment Plaintiff would show that HH^idence it has produced to date is not onlyyiflicient to establish each element of its breach of contract claim at trial, but that it is also sufficient to warrant this Court's granting of Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment. Texas trial courts have repeatedly rendered summaryjudgment in favor of credit card issuers based on evidence similar to that which Plaintiff has produced in this case, the courts of appeal have repeatedly affirmed those findings. See Jones,
235 S.W.3d 338-39;
Winchek, 232 S.W.3d at 204; Hinojosa, 2008 Tex.App. Lexis 1532, at 7; and Duran, 2008 Tex. App. Lexis 2060, at *10-11. Accordingly, there is a strong precedent of case law that supports the entry of summary judgment in favor of Plaintiff in this case based upon the documents attached to this Motion. IV. CONCLUSION AND PRAYER Under the existing case law regarding suits for breach of contract arising from default on credit account, Plaintiff has produced sufficient evidence to establish each element of its breach of contract claim. Defendant has produced no evidence to controvert the evidence provided by Plaintiff herein. As such, there are no material issues of fact in dispute, and Plaintiff is entitled to summaryjudgment on its breach of contract cause of action. Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court enter summaryjudgment in its favor for: a. Judgment in the amount of $13,612.07 on the debt owed to Plaintiff; b. costs of court; and c. all further relief to which Plaintiff may be entitled.

TRCP166a(c) Under the TRCP, the Defendant's response is late and therefore notproperly before theCourtfor consideration inresponse tothePlaintiffs Amended Motion forSummary Judgment. Such response wouldhave had to have been filed withthe Courtby May 1,2014 at the latest for it to be timely.

Defendant hereby repeats and realleges his underlying Amended Answer and Motions to Dismiss and for Sanctions to respectfully request dismissal of this Action or, in the alternative, to counter-sue for damages, costs, and declaratory judgment in Pleadings on the 3.5-year-old Record which prove that Plaintiffs have repeatedly and willfully violated Defendant's rights to reasonable due process and multiple substantive causes far in excess of simple collection on an old credit-card debt. At this point, only a JURY TRIAL could sort out, recognize, and grant ultimate justice to Defendant, who hereby demands such trial by right. Waiver of fees will be sought at the appropriate time. 407 OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFFS SI EVIDENCE Once more, Defendant hereby OBJECTS and MOVES to strike Plaintiffs sole Form-Affidavit and its cookie-cutterclutter of Attachments for the following reasons: 1. Said Affidavit, executed by the alleged State Farm Employee Jennifer Tucker-Vinsel Beigel is no different from the earlier version by Steve Holifield— nothing more than a fill-in-the- blank form cynically assembled at the head of an amalgamation of some 52 additional pages of irrelevant "business records" which are neither related to Defendant's activities, alleged default, nor explained in the text of said form-affidavit. Thus, the entire "affidavit" is fatally defective, inadmissible, and does not support either substantive or procedural summary judgment. 2. Said amalgamation does not accurately reflect the historical grand total of Defendant's Account with State Farm Bank; e.g., nowhere is the mishandling of a notably disputed $114 and multiple improperly assessed collateral fees disclosed. These things from October '09 along with the last segments of statements proffered which show Defendant's Account clearly inactive but for the gratuitous amassing of higher and higher interest and penalty long after Defendant communicated he no longer had (or has since had) any present ability to pay further. See Exhibits 2a & 2b before this Court as part of Defendant's Original Answer back in 2011 and as pointed out in Defendant's Original Opposition/Objection to ST in August, 2012. Plaintiffs have had plenty of opportunity to amend their Pleadings appropriately yet have cynically refused to do so. 3. Said amalgamation of so-called "business records" do not coherently relate to one another and consist of generic boilerplate— often illegible— having nothing specific to do with the Defendant or his alleged debt. They were not produced or prepared by the Defendant nor ever 408 within his control. Several pages have nothing but a dotted line on them! The whole package is the product of a cynical, sloppy effort to impress and intimidate by volume without substantive content. Haste makes waste... no single page is cited or referred to in the form-affidavit making for a mere appearance of meaningful summary-judgment evidence! 4. There are only a dozen pages among said amalgamation of so-called "business records" that arguably might be deemed relevant to the underlying controversy, but these pages are tampered with and redacted for no credible reason cited or discussed anywhere in Plaintiffs' Documents. Who did such redacting and where along the requisite chain of custody— also neither cited nor verified— is this tampering explained? These remain mysteries, but one cannot have summary judgment on a mystery. Defendant hereby denies that these pages truly, accurately identify or refer to his Account with Plaintiff State Farm. 5. Finally, not one of these amalgamated pages is duly certified or properly prepared for litigation by any Party because they bear no Bates-labels or equivalent exhibit-stamps which would enable their individual citation and discussion even at this cursory stage of civil action. 6. Plaintiffs commit the same error they repeatedly cited against Defendant in the last extended Hearing before this Court: namely, their cited points and authorities predominantly consist of "foreign," irrelevant, and nonprecedential law from Ohio, El Paso, Delaware, Dallas, Houston, and Ft. Worth. What's good for the Defendant is good for the Plaintiffs. In short, Plaintiffs proffer no cognizable SJ-evidence for this proceeding— hearsay at best. This Court should not regard such seriously defective documents as competent to support any summary judgment either as to substance or form under TRCP 166a. Such submittals are congruent with a presumptive, entitled, cynical, and otherwise short-cut mentality manifested by Plaintiffs' 409 Counsel to date; they have habitually flouted substantive due-process requirements of the TRCP in this Case, which is why Defendant has had pending Motions for Sanctions against them in this Cause for years... now subject, inter alia, to the outcome of Appeal No. 04-14-00143-CV. Even the Hearing for this purportedly Amended ST Motion last month had to be deferred to May 8th for yet another failure of Plaintiffs to serve Defendant with a copy of said Pleading and enter a filed copy into this Court's Record. Yet, this Court continues to allow this lawfirm to flout basic Rules without sanction! OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR SUMMARY TUDGMENT As before in 2012 and in light of the foregoing dispositive defects exposed in Plaintiffs' "evidence" above, Defendant hereby RE-OPPOSES their "new" Motion for Summary Tudgment as it is with insufficient basis in law, under TRCP 166a, or in equity. In the interests of judicial economy, Defendant further relies upon the copious evidence of his own heretofore presented in his recent Amended Answer and all further Pleadings which are hereby incorporated fully by reference to this Pleading as supporting affidavits— including the Affidavit attached to Defendant's Original Opposition/Objection to Summary Tudgment— to show that there are numerous issues of material fact in dispute in this Cause which can only be fairly decided by a jury trial on the merits. Summary judgment is so inappropriate at this point as to work severe injustice in its very contemplation. Moreover, there are substantial matters of COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL and/or ISSUE PRECLUSION, for Plaintiffs (as Defendants in the companion Federal Case No. SA-12-CA-1071-HLH) already had several bites at the "summary judgment apple" and were substantially BEATEN last September... and in a forum which was quite hostile to this Defendant! See Exhibit 2. 410 To recap, Defendant has stipulated to Plaintiff's recited Facts ##6,11 & 18 (from their original Petition) but disputes and/or denies all others; he specifically denies that all conditions precedent have been performed or occurred (##10 & 17) and that he has at any time defaulted or refused to do anything requested by the Plaintiff State Farm Bank. Moreover, as a primary affirmative defense, Defendant asserts impossibility of performance through supervening circumstances, insofar as he remains INDIGENT and has no present or near-future ability to pay anything to anyone beyond bare subsistence levels. He owns no attachable property. He has met the stringent criteria of and has been receiving Food Stamps (SNAP/Lone Star) since August, 2010; Defendant also gets substantial telephone-billing assistance from LITE-UP Texas since late 2010. Such chronic impoverishment has perdured and worsened since 2006 and can only be rectified if and when Defendant achieves gainful employment or reaches the age of eligibility for Social Security. Plaintiffs are fully aware of this situation and what they hope to gain, at law or equity, by pursuing this abusive process is completely bewildering. They are attempting to enforce an unconscionable CONTRACT OF ADHESION. Furthermore, the amount allegedly owed to Plaintiff is insufficient to cause significant damage or harm to them as they are fully insured against such foreseeable business losses. Plaintiffs' outrageous behavior in this matter, especially through its collector-firm Rausch, Sturm, et al., to date, simply does not warrant further approbation or protection of this Court's processes. See Mathis v. Lockwood,
166 S.W.3d 743, 745 (Tex. 2005). AMPLIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVE AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES With further reference to said abuse of process, Defendant hereby AMENDS his Pleadings of Record to delineate the precise nature of Plaintiff's harmful excesses perpetrated to extract 411 unobtainable funds or compliance from their Victim using their telephones as primary weapons. Of primary concern at this stage is the fact that Plaintiffs do not anywhere address in their SJ Package the considerable counterclaims of Defendant— not even a feckless assertion of res judicata. This fatal omission is all the more outrageous since... a. Plaintiffs are materially breaching their purchased "peace, compromise, and settlement" (Settlement Agreement delineated in Exhibit 1) by themselves restarting this Litigation as if the above-mentioned federal case were no more than an irrelevant hiatus. Such restart is barred by collateral estoppel as to "pro se" Plaintiffs Rausch, Sturm, et al. b. Trying to have it both ways, Plaintiffs misrepresented to this Court at their December Hearing that the above-mentioned federal case was a "continuation" of this County Case in order to fabricate an excuse for their 13-month indolence and failure of prosecution. Yet, nowhere in any court's record is there even the barest mention of such continuation, removal or equivalent transfer action by any Party! No member of Plaintiffs' Lawfirm contended with Defendant in that Federal Case either; they were represented by outside counsel and took a nice little vacation for over a year. The aforementioned Appeal now before the 4th Court of Appeals will decide that set of issues. c. Worse still for Plaintiffs, THEY LOST every element of that "continued" summary judgment in federal court, but for Defendant's counterclaimsunder the Texas Deceptive-Trade- Practices Act! This is a second, illicit bite at that apple! See Exhibit 2 again. The remainder of Defendant's counterclaims are nowhere extinguished for SJor any other purpose, and if it turns out that Plaintiffs did actuallybreach the Parties' Settlement Agreement (Exhibit 1), then ALL such claims— plusthe new one added (violations ofTexas Finance Code §§392.101, 301, 302, et al.) in Defendant's recently filed Amended Answer— need to be heard by a jury! 412 Actual damages and costs to Defendant are not trivial to this point but can be subsequently assessed at trial as can the issue of Plaintiffs willfulness or negligence in causing, without requisite bond or license, all those robo-calls to be made after proferring written assurance to the contrary. The FDCPA may award $1000 in statutory damages, but the well-pled tort claims could well exceed $105,500 plus costs for the Defendant, based on a model afforded by the Telephone Consumer- Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. §§227(b)(l)(B), (3)(C) & (c)(5)(C)... enforced through 47 C.F.R. §64.1200 with recoverable statutory sanctions from $500 to $1500 per violation... that's just for the original 211 calls alone! Add to that the 520 calls secured by Defendant through federal discovery and the $100/violation under the TDCA (Finance Code §392.403), and it becomes obvious that this is no petty matter to be swept under the rug of summary judgment via cookie-cutter pleadings. CONCLUSION Nonmovant Defendant need not exhaustively perform and relinquish his burden of proof or persuasion at this SJ stage—merely establish a significant element of factual dispute to thwart an improper attemptto secure summary judgment. Brownlee v. Brownlee,
665 S.W.2d 111, 112 (Tex.1984). Defendant has accomplished this by relying upon his prior Affidavit on record and by amending his underlying Pleadings to amplify a major counter-claim. Bassett v. American National Bank,
145 S.W.3d 692, 696 (Tex. App. Ft. Worth 2004). He further identifies 6 fatal inadequacies in Plaintiffs SJ- evidence. Guthrie v. Suiter,
934 S.W.2d 820, 824 (Tex. App. Houston 1996). So, if this Court follows clear precedent and assumes Nonmovant's proof is true and indulges every reasonable inference in favor of the Nonmovant perM.D. Anderson Hospital v. Willrich,
28 S.W.3d 22, 23 (Tex. 2000); and ifthis Court resolves all doubts against the Movant per Johnson City Sheriffs Posse v. Endsley,
926 S.W.2d 284, 413 285 (Tex. 1996); then, this matter can only be dismissed or set for trial on the merits. Defendant has shown enough to avoid the further injustice of being quit-claimed by wholesale summary judgment.

On July 19, 2013, the Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment (Docket No. 20) . The Plaintiff filed his response, along with a motion for sanctions, on August 15, 2013 {Docket No. 22) . Having considered the motions, the Court finds that the motion for sanctions should be denied and the motion for summary judgment should be granted in part and denied in part. I. Background The summary judgment evidence establishes the following facts: The Plaintiff borrowed money from State Farm Bank and failed to repay that loan. The record is unclear as to why the Plaintiff obtained the loan, or what amount he borrowed. The Defendant, a debt collector, began calling the Plaintiff on 424 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 2 of 9 behalf of State Farm. The parties spoke over the phone on February 8, 2011, but the Plaintiff did not answer the Defendant's other calls. Unable to reach the Plaintiff, the Defendant filed a lawsuit against him in state court on July 1, 2011.l On July 22, 2011, the Plaintiff emailed the Defendant, demanding that it "cease filling up my answering machine with fatuous robo-messages now." He also stated that he was "broke," on food stamps, and that he would pay only when he got money himself. The Defendant persisted in calling him after receiving that email. On September 10, 2012, the Plaintiff sent a second email requesting that all communications cease. At that point, the calls stopped.2 The Plaintiff brought claims for (a) violations of the Fair Debt collection practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692c, 1692d, and 1692f, (b) violations of the Texas Debt Collection Act (TDCA), Tex. Fin. Code § 392.302, (c) violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.50, and (d) intrusion upon seclusion. The Defendant has moved for summary judgment on each of the Plaintiff's claims. The Court will grant the Defendant's motion with respect to the 1 The status of that lawsuit is also unclear from the record. 3 Although the Plaintiff's complaint states that he received calls on December 4, 2012 and December 5, 2012, these appear to be typos. In another paragraph, the complaint clearly states that the calls ended on August 22, 2012. 425 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 3 of 9 DTPA claim but deny the motion with respect to the remaining claims.3 II. Applicable Law and Analysis a. FDCPA Claims The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant violated multiple provisions of the FDCPA. The Court will address each in turn, i. 15 U.S.C. 5 1692c Subject to exceptions not pertinent here, Section 1692c states that debt collectors may not contact a consumer if that consumer "notifies [the] debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer . . .• 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(c). The Plaintiff asserts that he continued to receive calls after his email asking the Defendant to stop calling him. The Defendant argues that the email on July 12, 2011 did not request that all communication cease, but referred only to phone calls. Therefore,- the Defendant argues, Plaintiff's email did not meet the statutory definition of a request to cease contact. The Defendant does not cite any authority for this interpretation, and the Court, in its independent research, has found none. Moreover, the Defendant does not dispute the Plaintiff's claim ' The Defendant also notes that the Plaintiff failed to appear for his deposition. However, the Defendant has not moved for dismissal on these grounds, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(d). 426 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 4 of 9 that it continued calling him after this email was sent. Because the Defendant has failed to establish that no genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether the July 22, 2011 email was a request that the Defendant cease contacting the Plaintiff, the Court will deny the Defendant's motion for summary judgment with respect to the § 1692c claim. ii. 15 U.S.C. S§ 1692d and 1692f Section 1692d of the FDCPA prohibits "any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt." IS U.S.C. § 1692d. This includes "[clausing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number."Id. § 1692d(5).Section 1962f also prohibits debt collectors from using "unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect a debt." 15 U.S.C. § 1692f. In its motion, the Defendant does not deny that it repeatedly called the Plaintiff, nor does it challenge the call frequency that Plaintiff alleges. Instead, it argues that the Plaintiff's allegations, even if true, do not establish harassment as a matter of law and are insufficient to support an inference of intent to harass. It also argues that the Plaintiff cannot establish that these calls were unfair or 427 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 5 of 9 unconscionable. The Defendant cites opinions from other district courts that have granted summary judgment on these claims, even when the frequencies of calls equaled or exceeded the number alleged here. See, e.g., Carman v. The CBE Group, Inc., 7B2 F. Supp. 2d 1223, 1229-32, 34-35 (D. Kan. 2011) (discussing the split of authority on this topic and granting summary judgment). But here, the Defendant continued calling the Plaintiff after receiving his request that the calls cease. The court finds that, viewed in light of the Defendant's persistence, the frequency and number of calls alleged is sufficient to support a reasonable inference that (1) their natural consequence was to harass, oppress, and/or abuse the Plaintiff, or (2) they constituted an unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. See 15 U.S.C. § I692d; 15 U.S.C. § 1692f; Bee also Adamcik v. Credit Control Servs., 832 F. Supp. 2d 744, 747 (W.D. Tex. 2011) (denying motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict because the evidence "showed a 'nature and pattern' of calls from which the jury could properly infer an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass [the plaintiff) .") . Therefore, the Court will deny the Defendant's summary judgment motion with respect to the claims asserted under §§ 1692d and 1692f. 428 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 6 of 9 b. Texas Debt Collection Act (TDCA) claim Similar to the FDCPA, the TDCA prohibits debt collectors from "oppress[ing], harass [ing], or tabus ting] a person by . . . causing a telephone to ring repeatedly or continuously, or making repeated or continuous telephone calls, with the intent to harass a person at the called number." Tex. Fin. Code § 392.302(4). The Defendant relies on the same argument it made with regard to the FDCPA, and it asserts that the Plaintiff has failed to establish the essential element of intent to harass. As the Court has discussed, the frequency of calls combined with the Defendant's persistence supports an inference of the intent required by the TDCA. Therefore, the Court will also deny the Defendant's motion for summary judgment with respect to the TDCA claim. o. DTPA claims The DTPA grants "consumers" a right of action. See Tex. bos. & Com. Code § 17.50(a). To establish "consumer" status, a person (1) must have sought or acquired goods or services by purchase or lease, and (2) the goods or services, purchased or leased, must form the basis of the complaint. Cushman v. GC Services, LP, 657 'P. Supp. 2d 834, 842-43 (S.D. Tex. 2009) (citing Burleson State Bank v. Plunkett, 27 S.w.3d 605, 614 (Tex. App.- Waco 2000)). However, the DTPA does not extend to ordinary 429 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 7 of 9 loans, because "money is not ... a 'good' [and] the DTPA's use of the word *services' d[oes] not include the extension of credit, or the borrowing of money." Id (quoting Riverside Nat'l Bank v. Lewis,
603 S.W.2d 169, 175-76 (Tex. 1980)); but see Knight v. Int'l Harvester Credit Corp., 627 S.w.2d 382, 388-89 (Tex. 1982) (finding that a bank customer qualified as a consumer because he sought financing to purchase a dump truck). The Defendant moves for summary judgment on the grounds that the Plaintiff is not a "consumer" under the DTPA, because he only received a loan from State Farm Bank. The Plaintiff has not contested this point, and the Court finds that he does not qualify as a consumer. The Defendant is entitled to summary judgment with respect to the DTPA claims, d. Intrusion Upon Seclusion To establish a claim for intrusion upon seclusion, a plaintiff must show that the defendant (1) intentionally intruded, physically or otherwise, upon the plaintiff's solitude, seclusion, or private affairs or concern, and (2) such intrusion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. Schakosky v. Client Services, Inc., 634 F. Supp. 2d 732, 737 (E.D. Tex. 2007) (citing Valenzuela v. Aquino,
853 S.W.2d 512, 513 (Tex. 1993)). "Collection actions taken in violation of the law are not justified, reasonable, or warranted [and are] sufficient to support [a] jury's liability finding on [a 430 Case 5:12-cv-O1071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 8 of 9 plaintiff's] invasion of privacy cause of action." Household Credit Servs., Inc. v. Driscol,
989 S.W.2d 72, 84-85 (Tex. App.- El PaBO 1998, pet. denied)). For the same reasons previously discussed, the Court finds that material issues of fact exist as to whether the Defendant's conduct was unreasonable, unjustified, or unwarranted. The Court, therefore, will deny the Defendant's motion for summary judgment with respect to the Plaintiff's claim of intrusion on seclusion. e. Other Motions The Plaintiff has moved for sanctions, arguing that the Defendant's motion for summary judgment was filed in bad faith. In its summary judgment motion, Defendant has also asked for fees and costs under 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a) (3) and Tex. Fin. Code § 392.403(c), arguing that the suit was brought in bad faith and for the purpose of harassment. Because the Court has partially granted and partially denied the Defendant's summary judgment motion, both the motion for sanctions and the motion to .award fees and costs will be denied. It is therefore ORDERED that Defendant's motion for summary judgment (Docket No. 20) be, and it is hereby, GRANTED with respect to the Plaintiff's Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim. 431 Case 5:12-cv-01071-HLH Document 29 Filed 09/11/13 Page 9 of 9 It is further ORDERED that, in all other respects, Defendant's motion for summary judgment be, and it is hereby, DENIED. It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for sanctions (Docket No. 22) be, and it is hereby, DENIED. It is further ORDERED that Defendant's motion for fees and costs be, and it is hereby, DENIED. SIGNED AND ENTERED this // -"3ay of September, 2013.
