APPELLEE’S BRIEF
______________________________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellee, Cintas-R.U.S., L.P. files this its Appellee’s Brief as follows:
I.
ORAL ARGUMENT
Appellee does not request oral argument.
II.
ISSUES PRESENTED
REPLY POINT 1: The pending appeal is moot due to the Appellant’s payment of the
judgment, and Appellee’s issuance of a Full and Final Release of
Judgment and Judgment Lien.
REPLY POINT 2: The record reflects the Appellant’s failure to maintain a registered
agent for service of process and a registered office, thus the
secretary of state was an agent for service of process for the
corporation.
III.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
As reflected in the Texas Secretary of State, John Steen’s Business Organizations Inquiry
page from November 25, 2013, Appellant, J&J Container Manufacturing, Inc. (“Appellant”) had
listed as its Registered Agent, “Anthony Lewis Cook” at “6124 W. Little York, Houston, Tx.
77091 USA.” (Appendix 1) When pre-suit certified and regular demand letters from Appellee,
Cintas-R.U.S., L.P. (“Appellee”) came back from the registered address as “not deliverable,” it
was clear that Appellant had failed to maintain a registered agent in Texas as required.
(Appendix 2) Therefore, Appellee served the Texas Secretary of State under Section 5.251 of the
Texas Business Organizations Code. The return from the Secretary of State, which is in the
Record (CR 16) reflects that the Citation was sent to the registered address on April 7, 2014, and
was returned as “Not Deliverable As Addressed.” On June 3, 2014, Appellee was awarded a
Default Judgment against Appellant. Notice of the judgment was mailed by the trial court to the
Appellant at its registered address on June 3, 2014, and again it was returned as “Not deliverable
as addressed.” (SCR 8-9)
Appellee mailed post-judgment discovery to the Appellant at the address where service
had been rendered, 1526 DeSoto, Houston, Texas 77091, on July 11, 1014. (Appendix 3)
Appellant did not object, appeal, seek court protection, supersede or respond in any way. In late
August 2014, a deputy with the Harris Count Constable’s office made demand at the DeSoto
address, and Appellant voluntarily paid an amount in excess of $17,488.05 to the deputy
constable. On September 9, 2014, Harris County issued payment to Appellee’s attorney in the
amount of $17,488.05. (Appendix 4). On September 24, 2014, having heard nothing further
Page -2-
from Appellant, Appellee issued and mailed a Full and Final Release of Judgment and Judgment
Lien to the DeSoto address. (Appendix 5)
IV.
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
Because Appellant voluntarily paid the judgment, this appeal is moot, and there is not a
justiciable dispute to be considered or ruled upon by this Court. Moreover, because Appellant
failed to maintain a registered agent for service of process and a registered office, the secretary of
state was an agent for service of process for the corporation and service was proper.
V.
ARGUMENT
REPLY POINT 1: The pending appeal is moot due to the Appellant’s payment of the
judgment, and Appellee’s issuance of a Full and Final Release of
Judgment and Judgment Lien.
As the documents in the Appendix reflect, the Appellant voluntarily paid the amount of the
judgment to the Harris County Constable in late August of 2014. Having previously received a full
set of post-judgment discovery from Appellee, Appellant did not seek to supersede the judgment or
request a restraining order or do anything to resist or oppose the payment of the judgment. The
constable did not seize property. Instead, without reservation of any kind, Appellant paid. More
than two weeks after payment was received by Appellee, having heard nothing from Appellant,
prepared and mailed the Release to Appellant on September 24, 2014. Appellant did not return the
Release. Appellant did nothing until November 18, 2014, when it filed its Notice of Intent to File
a Restricted Appeal.
When Appellant voluntarily paid the judgment without reservation of any right to appeal, it
waived any right to bring a subsequent appeal, and rendered moot the appeal that is currently
Page -3-
pending. When a judgment debtor voluntarily pays and satisfies a judgment rendered against it, the
cause becomes moot. Employees Finance Co. v. Lathram, 369 S.W.2d 927, 930 (Tex. 1963). The
judgment debtor thereby waives any right to appeal and the case must be dismissed. Guajardo v.
Alamo Lumber Co., 317 S.W.2d 725 (Tex. 1958); Otto v. Rau Petroleum Products, 582 S.W.2d 504
(Tex.Civ.App.–Houston[1st Dist.] 1979, no writ). The basis for this rule is to prevent a party from
simply changing his mind about pursuing the case, or misleading his opponent into thinking the
controversy is over. A party should not be allowed to mislead his opponent into believing that the
controversy is over and then contest the payment and seek recovery. The Texas Supreme Court
restated the public policy as: “A party who pays a claim is deemed to have made his own decision
that it is justly due. If he thinks otherwise, he should resist. He should not pay out his money, leaving
the other party to act as though the matter were closed, and then be in a position to change his mind
and invoke the aid of the courts to get it back.” BMG Direct Mktg. v. Peake, 178 S.W.3d 763, 769
(Tex. 2005) quoting R.G. McClung Cotton Co. v. Cotton Concentration Co., 479 S.W.2d 733, 743
(Tex. Civ. App. –Dallas 1972, writ ref’d n.r.e.).
“Usually, when a judgment debtor voluntarily satisfies the judgment, the case becomes
moot, and the debtor waives any right to appeal.” Maan v. First ATM, Inc., 2008 Tex. App.
LEXIS 9279 quoting Marshall v. Housing Auth. of San Antonio, 198 S.W.3d 782, 787 (Tex.
2006). The rule is intended to prevent a party who voluntarily pays a judgment from later
changing his mind and seeking the court’s aid in recovering payment. Id. (citing Highland
Church of Christ v. Powell, 640 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1982).
In this case, the Appellant had received post judgment discovery sometime shortly after
July 11, 2014, and made no effort to object, appeal, supersede, seek a restraining order, respond
Page -4-
or even contact Appellee. When the Harris County deputy constable contacted Appellant to
demand payment, the Appellant paid without reservation, objection, court intervention or appeal.
Then, when Appellee mailed a Release, Appellant did not return it, object or respond in any way.
The matter was paid, settled and closed. This appeal is moot and should be dismissed.
REPLYPOINT 2: The record reflects the Appellant’s failure to maintain a registered
agent for service of process and a registered office, thus the
secretary of state was an agent for service of process for the
corporation.
J & J Container has failed to continuously maintain a registered agent for service of process
and a registered office as required under the Texas Business Organizations Code. See Tex. Bus.
Orgs. Code Ann. § 5.201. According to the Code, if the registered agent cannot be found with
reasonable diligence at the registered office, the secretary of state is an agent for service of process
on the corporation. Id. § 5.251(1)(B). The Secretary of State forwarded the citation to the most recent
address on file of J & J Container Manufacturing, Inc., which was 6124 W. Little York, Houston,
Texas 77091. The Whitney Certificate states the process was returned on April 23, 2014 “bearing
the notion Return to Sender, Not Deliverable As Addressed, Unable to Forward.” (CR 16) This
presentation is on the face of it evidence that the address J & J Container provided to the Secretary
of State as the registered agent was incorrect. The record also contains the Notice of Judgment that
was sent by the trial court to the same address, 6124 W. Little York, Houston, Texas 77091. That
notice was returned to the trial court with the same notation. (SCR8-9)
Therefore, the trial court’s records confirm the fact that J & J Container failed to maintain
a proper address for its registered agent. Under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, the petition,
Page -5-
citation, and return of service establish valid service of process, and those three documents in this
case show that Appellant strictly complied with the rules for service of process. Tex. R. Civ. P. 107.
“As the purpose of Rule 107 is to establish whether there has been proper citation and service, the
Secretary’s certificate fulfills that purpose.” Orgoo, Inc. v. Rackspace U.S., Inc., 341 S.W.3d 34, 39
(Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011) quoting Campus Invs., Inc. v. Cullever, 144 S.W.3d 464, 466 (Tex.
2004).
Through prior correspondence, Appellee had learned that the registered agent was not at
the address on file. In fact, counsel for Appellee had served three demand letters on three
different addresses for J & J Container and all three were returned due to being “unclaimed and
unable to forward.” Appellee exercised reasonable diligence before suit was file in determining
that the registered agent of J&J Container could not be found at the registered office.
Appellant would have Appellee go through a pointless, costly exercise of sending a
process server to an address that Appellee had already learned was “not deliverable” before
following the provisions of Tex. Bus. Orgs. Code Ann. § 5.251 (1)(B). Such a result would only
penalize Appellee for attempting to locate and serve the registered agent, and reward Appellant
for its failure to keep its records and filings up to date with the secretary of state. The Judgment
was properly rendered and should be AFFIRMED.
VII.
PRAYER
Appellee prays that this matter be dismissed as moot, or AFFIRMED, and for such other
and further relief to which Appellee may be justly entitled.
