Jennifer Gwynne Capelo, as Adminstrator of the Estate of Decedent June Yvonne Rivera v. Gale Lilliman D/B/A Gulf Coast Bail Bonds

Reversed and Remanded and Memorandum Majority Opinion and Memorandum
Concurring Opinion filed August 23, 2022.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-20-00804-CV
JENNIFER GWYNNE CAPELO, AS ADMINSTRATOR OF THE ESTATE
OF DECEDENT JUNE YVONNE RIVERA, Appellant
V.
GALE LILLIMAN D/B/A GULF COAST BAIL BONDS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Probate Court
Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. PR-0077921-A
MEMORANDUM CONCURRING OPINION
I agree that there is a fact question on the existence of the partnership in the
past. But the evidence in this case conclusively establishes that, as of 2003, when
Rivera let her license lapse, any alleged partnership between the parties was over.
See Villanueva v. Gonzalez, 123 S.W.3d 461, 465–67 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
2003, no pet.) (cited with approval by the majority).
Whether or not Capelo still has any claim for Rivera’s estate—over a
partnership that dissolved in 2003—is left to be determined as it was not covered in
the motion for summary judgment.
