Hopkins Texas State Bar No. 00793975 HOPKINS & WILLIAMS, PLLC 12117 Bee Caves Rd., Suite 260 Austin, Texas 78738 (512) 600-4320 – Telephone (512) 600-4326 – Facsimile mark@hopkinswilliams.com shelley@hopkinswilliams.com ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLEE May 6, 2015 BACKGROUND FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY Procedural History of Eviction Proceedings. This is an appeal by Lenny Acevedo (“Appellant” or “Acevedo”) from a final judgment entered by the County Court at Law Number Two in Travis County, Texas, granting Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae” or "Appellee") immediate possession of property located at 1108 Fox Sparrow Cove, Pflugerville, Texas 78660 (the "Property")( Appendix “A”).1 The Judgment was rendered on April 2, 2015. Appellant failed to request that the trial court set a bond. Appellant instead filed a Notice of Appeal on April 9, 2015 (Appendix “C”), a surety bond for five hundred dollars (Appendix “D”), and requested both the trial court clerk and reporter prepare their respective records without cost (despite having filed no timely Affidavit of Inability to Pay Costs). (Appendix “E” – correspondence to the clerk and court reporter). Fannie Mae is not opposed to the issuance of an appropriate bond in this case; Fannie Mae is only opposed to Appellant’s litigious gamesmanship used to create delay just as was done within the prior district court litigation and appeal involving the Property. Appellant has not paid his mortgage since 2009 and has sought nothing more than the ability to live rent free for years. 1 Fannie Mae purchased the Property at a foreclosure sale on April 5, 2011 (Appendix “B”). 1 Procedural History of Past District Court Litigation and Appeal. The Property at issue in this appeal is no stranger to the Third Court of Appeals.2 Two days after the foreclosure sale of the Property, Appellant executed a deed without warranty to John Rady (Appendix “F”) conveying any interest owned by Appellant in the Property to Rady. Rady then utilized the deed without warranty to file a district court lawsuit premised upon a defective notice of sale, whereby keeping Appellant in the Property throughout a lengthy district court lawsuit and appeal to this court.3 After years of delay, Rady dismissed his appeal voluntarily in mid 2014 and this eviction action against Acevedo followed. 2 See, Case No. 03-12-00764-CV; John Rady v. BAC Home Loan Servicing, LP, et al. 3 The appeal was brought solely for delay. Note the delay in the request of the clerk’s record and reporters record (Notice of January 29, 2013 reflecting that the records were due to be filed by December 6, 2012). After the appellee’s motion to dismiss (April 18, 2013) and the Third Court’s Memorandum Opinion dismissing Rady’s appeal for failure to file the records (April 19, 2013), the Third Court withdrew its Opinion on April 23, 2013, on the promise by Rady that the record would timely be procured. A year later, when the matter was taken up by submission, Rady voluntarily dismissed his appeal on June 20, 2014. In short, Appellant Acevedo remained in possession of the Property after the April 5, 2011 foreclosure sale all the way through the June 24, 2014, dismissal of the appeal by wasting the Third Court’s time with a baseless appeal that was dismissed after the maximum gain of delay had been created. Appellant Acevedo now seeks to create the same delay at the eviction phase. 2 ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES Appellant’s request for emergency relief filed herein: (1) fails to cite the court to the proper authority, (2) fails to attach or rely upon any evidence and, (3) fails to provide this court with any type of lower court record or transcript. It is challenging for Appellee to respond to a motion that completely fails to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1(i) in that, “the [motion] must contain a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and to the record.” T.R.A.P. 38(1)(i). As set out below, the rules regarding how and when an appellant must act in setting a supersedeas bond are straightforward. 1. T.R.A.P. 24.2. It is likely that Appellant’s failure to cite to the appellate rules is not by accident. Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 24.2 is very clear. It provides in part, (2) For recovery of property. When the judgment is for the recovery of an interest in real or personal property, the trial court will determine the type of security that the judgment debtor must post. The amount of security must be at least: (A) the value of the property interest’s rent or revenue, if the property interest is real… See, T.R.A.P. 24.2(2)(A). There has been no effort on the part of Appellant to comply with T.R.A.P. 24.1 or 24.2 regarding the suspension of enforcement of the judgment. 3 2. T.R.C.P. 510.13. In addition to the general requirements of T.R.A.P. 24.2 concerning proper bond amounts with respect to recovery of real property, Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 510.13 specifically addresses bond requirements following an eviction appeal in county court. Rule 510.13 provides in part, …The judgment of the county court may not be stayed unless within 10 days from the judgment the appellant files a supersedeas bond in an amount set by the county court pursuant to Section 24.007 of the Texas Property Code. Tex. R. Civ. P. 510.13. Appellant made no effort to set a hearing to determine a supersedeas bond after judgment was rendered by the county court. All that Appellant did was file a surety bond (the surety being the wife of Mr. Rady) in the amount of five hundred dollars. Fannie Mae is opposed to Ms. Rady serving as surety, and Fannie Mae is opposed to a bond amount of only $500.00 on Property valued at $123,371.70 (Appendix B– substitute trustee’s deed). Appellant cannot simply lay beyond the log and fail to set a proper hearing on the amount of a bond and then proceed to file an improper and inadequate surety bond. 3. Texas Property Code §24.007. Texas Property Code Section 24.007 echo’s Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 510.13 in providing a clear cut mechanism to supersede a county court judgment in an eviction suit. Section 24.007 provides, (a) A judgment of a county court in an eviction suit may not under any circumstances be stayed pending appeal unless, within 10 days of the signing of the judgment, the appellant files a 4 supersedeas bond in an amount set by the county court. In setting the supersedeas bond the county court shall provide protection for the appellee to the same extent as in any other appeal, taking into consideration the value of rents likely to accrue during appeal, damages which may occur as a result of the stay during appeal, and other damages or amounts as the court may deem appropriate. Tex. Prop. Code §24.007 (emp. added). Again, Appellant made no effort to comply with Texas Property Code §24.007 in having the County Court determine the proper amount of bond to be set in this case. It is highly likely that Appellant did not request the county court to evaluate the proper amount of bond as this specific County Court, along with many other Central Texas courts, typically sets a supersedeas bond at an amount that closely approximates what the borrower’s mortgage payment would be (under the theory that a mortgage payment amount would be in the same ballpark as rental income a borrower would charge a would-be tenant for the property). Herein, the deed of trust (Appendix G) reflects Acevedo’s loan amount, pre- foreclosure, to have been $151,450.00. Debt service on $151,450.00 is approximately $900.00 a month (six dollars per thousand financed – assuming interest rate of 6%). In addition to debt service, a rental rate also typically covers payment of taxes and insurance. At a 2.8 percent annual tax rate, the property taxes on a $151,000.00 property would approximate $4250.00 a year ($354.00 a month). Insurance on that value of a property would also typically run about $1500.00 a year ($125.00 a month). Give the forgoing numbers, derived from the 5 deed of trust and county records capable of judicial notice, the County Court would have likely concluded that $1,379.00 is a proper monthly bond amount to stay execution of the underlying judgment. The average eviction appeal currently takes about eight months to resolve on appeal before the Third Court of Appeals. As such, the County Court would have likely either allowed Appellant to pay $1,379.00 a month during the pendency of appeal, or the court would have set one cash bond in the amount of $11,032.00 ($1,379.00 x 8 month appeal). 4. T.R.A.P. 24.4. The County Court did not error in determining that Appellant failed to timely request a bond be set within ten days after judgment. As no bond was set, the County Court was correct in determining that it was without power to stay the execution of the judgment as Texas Property Code 24.007 and Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 510.13 specifically prohibit the County Court from staying the judgment. Appellant’s request for extraordinary relief from this Court, on appeal, should be denied. Appellant failed to follow the express rules regarding supersedeas bonds and Appellant should not be allowed to continue to benefit (residing in the Property without cost) from his failure to follow those rules. To the extent this Court wishes to exercise the latitude granted it under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 24.2(b), Fannie Mae would request an additional cash bond in the amount $11,032.00 be required of Appellant to be deposited with the trial court clerk pursuant to T.R.A.P. 24.2(e). In the alternative, 6 Fannie Mae requests that Appellant be required to post a monthly cash bond in the amount of $1,379.00, during the pendency of this appeal (with payment of April and May 2015 amounts due by May 15, 2015) and monthly regular monthly payments due thereafter with the monthly payment for June 2015 to be paid into the registry of the trial court by June 1, 2015. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Appellee, Federal National Mortgage Company, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny Appellant’s request for extraordinary relief. In the alternative, Appellee requests a cash bond in the amount of $11,032.00, or a monthly cash bond in the amount of $1,379.00 (with back payments for April and May due immediately) be deposited in the registry of the trial court. Appellee also requests any other relief to which it may be entitled.
