RE: Roger Liverman v. Texas ; Aaron Liverman v. Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals No. PD-1595-14 ; PD- 1596-14
Dear Mr. Acosta:
After Appellant' s counsel brought this matter to my attention, I realized that I
unfortunately made a mistake in answering one of the panel ' s questions at oral argument
on this case on May 20, 2015 . When asked about the judgment in the civil trial dealing
with the liens, I mistakenly said Katheryn Payne Hall won a $75 ,000 judgment. In fact,
the judgment read that both liens, amounting to a total of $57 ,000, were found to be
fraudulent, and Aaron and Roger Liverman were ordered to pay $15 ,001.87 in attorney
fees. I have attached the judgment from the civil case. I inadvertently spoke of the
rounded-up value found fraudul ent and the attorney' s fees together as the judgment
against Aaron and Roger Liverman, when it was actually attorney ' s fees that were
awarded and the amount found to be fraudulent. I have conferenced with Appellants '
counsel about the matter, informed him of this letter and attachment, and have sent him a
copy of this letter and attachment.
Sincerely,
Assistant Criminal District Attorney
Denton County, Texas
