STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This is an appeal from a divorce proceeding, wherein Appellant, Brentley Wayne
Hrincirk was the Respondent, and Appellee, Bobbye Hrncirik, was the Petitioner. After a final
hearing on August 29, 2014, the Court entered a Final Divorce Decree on October 1, 2014.
Appellant filed a Motion for New Trial on October 31, 2014, which was overruled by operation
of law. Appellant filed a Notice of Appeal on December 30, 2014. In the divorce decree, the trial
court granted the divorce on grounds of insupportably and adultery (C.R. page 50 paragraph 2,
Findings of Fact.) Furthermore, the Decree of Divorce, (C.R. p.30, Findings of Fact p. 51
paragraph 15) awarded a disproportionate share of the property and debts between the parties
based on fault in the breakup of the marriage by Appellant.
STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
Appellant does not believe oral argument would aid the Court in its decisional process.
The law is well settled, and Appellant believes he has accurately pointed out in the record why
the trial court abused its discretion.
2.
ISSUES PRESENTED
1. The trial court erred in finding that there was evidence that allowed the Court
to award Appellee a disproportionate share of the community property,
specifically 52% of the retirement of Appellant, Brentley Wayne Hrncirik.
2. The triad court erred in finding that Appellee was entitled to a disproportionate
share of the community property when there was no evidence or insufficient
evidence to support that finding.
3.
STATEMENT OF THE FACTS
Over objection by Appellant’s Counsel, Allen Young a process server, testified that he
served Appellant a Motion for Enforcement, that was set for hearing on the same day as the final
divorce hearing that being August 14, 2014. (R.R. Vol.2 page 7, lines 9-11, 20-24). Mr. Young
testified that when he served Appellant with the enforcement papers, Appellant told him to get
off his property or he would shoot him. (R.R. Vol 2 P.9 lines 19-24). After dropping the papers
in front of Appellant, Appellant ran after Mr. Young and kicked his vehicle door. At the time of
the incident Young testified that Appellant’s demeanor was very violent (R.R. Vol 2 p 10 lines 2-
7, 12-15) on cross examination Mr. Young testified he had, had that happen to him on other
occasions. (R.R. Vol 2 P11, lines 2-4). Appellee, Bobbye Hrncirik then testified that she had
filed the divorce petition on December 31, 2013, (R.R. Vol 2 p. 12 lines 20-22), that the parties
were married on February 28, 2004 and that the parties had separated on September 21, 2013.
(R.R. Vol 2 p.13 lines, 6-7, 9-10). According to her, the marriage had become insupportable and
Appellant was guilty of cruel treatment to her. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 13 lines 12-13, lines 20-25) and
adultery. (R.R. Vol 2 p.14 lines 1-2). There were no children born of the marriage, and she
alleged that she should be awarded a disproportionate share of the parties estate for reasons
outlined in her original petition, but specifically for fault in the breakup of the marriage, benefits
she would have derived from continuation of the marriage, disparity of earning power and ability
to support herself and community indebtedness and liabilities. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 14 lines 12-25). At
the time of the divorce, Appellee testified she had worked for University Medical Center for 11
years as director of residential healthcare partnership. (R.R. Vol 2 p.15 lines 16-21). She further
testified that Appellant had been a district manager for Matco Tools since April 2002. (R.R. Vol
2 p.15 lines 22-25).
4
At the time of the separation, Appellee’s income was $94,500 annually and Appellant’s
approximately $130,000 a year, (R.R. Vol 2p.l6 lines 10-17). Appellee testified that she had a 16
year old daughter, who lived with her and Appellant during their living together as husband and
wife, and for 12 years plus, Appellant was her child’s “dad”. (R.R. Vol 2 p.16 lines 20-25, p.17
lines 4-11).
Appellee accused Appellant of adultery because supposedly he had an encounter with a
women named Dana Sharp in Midland, who confirmed via a text message that Appellant had and
encounter with her in April of 2013 and then in June. (R.R. Vol 2 page 18 lines 6-21).
Prior to this separation in August of 2013, the parties had bought 84 acres of land in
Seymour, Texas, a mobile home to go on that land, an ATV, and had done some improvements
on the land by putting a patio and owning on the mobile home. (R.R. Vol 2 p.17 lines 21-24).
They also had lake property they sold because they had bought a new house with a swimming
pool. (R.R. Vol 2 p.19 lines 13-15). The lake property was sold for $28,500 on September 15,
2012 and the installments were for $767.05 monthly. Up until the time of separation Appellant
had received the monthly payments (R.R. Vol 2 p.21 lines 8-25).
Pursuant to temporary orders, the payments from the lake property starting in March 2014
were to be placed in a trust account. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 25 lines 3-7). However, Appellant had kept
the monthly payments to pay bills. (R.R. Vol 2 p.25 lines 8-10). The parties also had a large fifth
wheel, camper they had bought in 2008 for approximately $59,000, and Appellant had failed to
make the monthly payments on the camper in the amount of $580.00 (R.R. Vol 2 p. 28 lines 4-7,
lines 12-21). So, Appellee had to make payments. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 30 lines 2-5).
At the time of the divorce there was $14,891.14 in Appellee’ s Attorney’s trust account. (R.R.
Vol 3 Exhibit 9),Exhibit 10, was introduced
5
into evidence showing the fair market value of the parties community and debt. In particular the
exhibit shows that Matco 401K of Appellant which had a value of $297,630.00 and Appellee’ s
retirement plan with MetLife TSA showing a value of $42,609.00. (R.R. Vol 3, Petitioner Ex
10). Petitioner Exhibit 11 was introduced into evidence showing the alleged personal property in
each parties possession with Appellee, claiming she had only retained $8,025.00 of personal
property, and Appellee alleging Appellant had retained $59,860 worth of personal property
which included $52,000 of missing tools and other tools. (R.R. Vol 3, Petitioner’s Exhibit 11).
Even though Appellee introduced Petitioner’s Exhibit 12 of invoices for furniture bought by
the parties between 2005 to 2011 that was bought new that totaled $20,723.03 (R.R Vol 3,
Petitioner’s Exhibit 12) she testified that it only had a fair market value of $8,025 as shown on
Petitioner’s Exhibit 11. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 76 lines 5-10). Appellee testified she had included the
$52,000 of missing tools because that was the value Appellant had given of the missing tools.
(R.R. Vol 2 p. 79 lines 4-6).
Under cross-examination Appellee testified she was 40 years old (R.R. Vol 2 p. 47 lines 24-
25) and that Appellant had in fact provided for two of Appellee’s daughters where they lived
together. (R.R. Vol 2 p.88 lines 10-24). She also admitted having to take alcohol counseling and
a domestic violence course in order to get an assault case dismissed in which Appellant was the
victim. (R.R. Vol.2 p89 lines 7-25). In fact she testified that the largest reason her case was
dismissed was because Appellant wished not to press charges. (Respondent’s Exhibit No. 1, R.R.
Vol 3) she further claimed that she has furnished the 3200 square foot home with the swinmiing
pool with $8,500 worth of furniture. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 13-22).
Appellee was in good health at the time of the divorce hearing and her employment with
6
University Medical Center was secure. (R.R. Vol 2 p 93. Lines 5-14). Appellant was then called
to testify by Appellees attorney and he testified he had the camper sold to a Kenneth McMullin
but had not been able to get the paperwork to sell it. (R.R. Vol 2 p 106 lines 5-22) and that he
had no means of making the camper payments, even though he had been ordered to. (R.R. Vol 2
p. 108, lines 1-19). Appellant provided Appellee with Petitioner’s exhibit 17 which had the total
amount of debt for the parties at State National Bank, which totaled $127,342.88 (R.R. Vol 3,
Petitioner’s Exhibit 17).
Of that amount $7,000 was a child support note, (R.R. Vol 2 p 116 lines 19-22) $4,780 was
for a motorcycle he had sold (R.R. Vol 2 p. 117, lines 13-19). Appellant through cross-
examination of his attorney testified that he’s base salary was $75,000 ma year to year contract
that also paid him $600.00 a month for vehicle expense and $100.00 a month for office expense,
plus $100.00 a day if he was on the road 50 miles or more from his house. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 126
lines 16-18).
Appellant offered his paycheck as Respondent’s Exhibit No. 5. (R.R. Vol 3 Respondent’s
Exhibit 5). Respondent’s Exhibit No. 6 which was his inventory of the personal property at the
parties residence at the time of separation totaling $90,643 and Respondent’s Exhibit No. 7,
which was his itemization of a $9,500 tool box and $52,000 in tools he had accumulated from his
24 years work with Matco Tools. (R.R. Vol 3 Respondent’s Exhibit No. 6 & 7) (R.R. Vol 2 p
129 lines 4-16) Appellant further testified that all his tools and equipment were missing from the
shop. (R.R. Vol 2 p 130 lines 15-24).
Appellant further testified he did not know where the tools were and that was his evaluation
of the worth of the tools because he sold tools for a living, (R.R. Vol 2 p 131 lines 2-7).
Appellant also wanted Appellee to keep the jeep which he estimated the fair market value of
7
$33,000 as long as she paid the $33,000 on the note at State National Bank. (R.R. Vol 2 p 135
lines 9-20).
Regarding his income Appellant testified he was struggling making payments because he hadn’t
made the money he was used to. (R.R. Vol 2 p 138 lines 21-25). Appellant further testified he
never assaulted Appellee during the marriage and denied having any relationship with another
woman during the marriage. He was 51 years old at the time of the final hearing approximately
11 years older than appellee. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 141 lines 5-16).
Appellant also confirmed having supported, Appellees two daughters until the day he walked
out. (R.R. Vol 2 p. 142 lines 9-15). He further opined that Appellee took all the missing shop
tools and the household property, worth $90,000 because he did not receive any of said property.
(R.R. Vol 2 p. 142 lines 23-25, p 143 lines 1-3).
Appellee’s Counsel then testified as to reasonable and necessary attorney fees of $4,000. (R.R.
Vol 2 p. 152 lines 18-20).

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
1) The evidence in the record demonstrates that the courts division of property was so
unjust and unfair as to constitute an abuse of discretion.
2) There is no evidence or insufficient evidence to support the trial court’s findings of
facts no. 15 concerning awarding a disproportionate share of the property and debts
between the parties based on fault in the breakup of the marriage by Appellant.
9
ARGUMENT
1) The evidence in the record demonstrates that the court’s division of property was so
unjust and unfair as to constitute abuse of discretion.
In dividing the estate of the parties, the trial court shall order a division of the property
“that the court deems just and right having due regard for the rights of each party...” Tex. Fam.
Code Ann. 7.0001 (West 2006). A trial court may order an unequal division of martial property
where a basis exists for doing so. Massey v. Massey 807 S.W.2d 391, 398 (Tex. App. Houston -
[1st Dist.] 1991, writ requested). The trial court is vested with broad discretion in dividing the
community estate and a court of appeals will presume it properly exercised. Murff v. Murff, 615
S.W.2d 696, 698 (Tex. 1981). In accordance with Wilson v. Wilson 44 S.W.3d 597, 600
(Tex.App- Ft. Worth 2001,no pet.) a party complaining of the trial court’s division of community
property muse be able to demonstrate from evidence in the record that the division was so unjust
and unfair as to constitute an abuse of discretion. Wallace. v. Wallace 623 S.W.2d 723, 725
(Tex, Civ. App- Houston [1st dist.] 1981, writ dism’d). It is the responsibility of the parties to the
proceedings to produce evidence to give the court a basis on which to make the division. In
Wilson Appellant did not complain about the trial court’s division of any particular property, he
argued that the trial court ignored the facts when it distributed the property.
The court may consider many factors in making an unequal division of property. Those factors
can include. 1) need for future support of a spouse, 2) education and employability, 3) health, 4)
age and fault in the break up of the marriage. The circumstances of each marriage dictate which
factors should be considered when dividing the community estate. Young v. Young 609 S.W. 2d
758(Texas 1980). In the divorce decree the trial court awarded Appellant the following:
a. Seymour, Texas Lake Land $20,000 equity
b. 2Ol4FordFlSOPickup $0 equity 10
c. Motorcycle equity $6,222.00
d. Vanderbilt trailer- equity $25,000.00
e. ATV- equity $3,542.00
f. Golf car- equity $5,000
g. Trailer- equity $1,000.00
for a total equity of $40,764 not including the 48% share of his equity in the MATCO
401(k).
Appellee was awarded the following:
a. Personal property of $8,025.00
b. The trust account monies which had a value of $14,891.14
c. Lake property payments of $16,875.10
d. The 2013 jeep which had $31,000 equity less her share of loan of $20,000, equity of
$11,000
e. The retirement account with her MetLife of $42,609 this totaled $93,400.24 in equity
without adding the $180,000 that the court awarded Appellee from Appellant’s
401(k) see divorce decree. (R.R. p. 30, 31,32 and 33). Also, see Petitioner’s exhibit
10.(R.R. Vol.3 Petitioner’s exhibit 10)
Appellant was entitled to testify about the fair market value of the personal property the
parties had at the house. Mata v. Mata 710 S.W.2d 756 (Tex. App-Corpus Christi 1986).
Appellant was also competent to testify about the value of tools that were at the parties
residence when he left and the Court completely disregarded this testimony. The Court
should have considered the valuation of this property before awarding Appellee 52% of
Appellant’s 401(k) account.
2. There is no evidence or insufficient evidence to support the trial court’s findings of
fact no. 15 concerning awarding a disproportionate share of the property based on
fault in the break up of the marriage by Appellant.
In reviewing “No evidence” points the reviewing courts considers only the evidence and
inferences that tend to support the finding, and disregards all evidence and inferences to the
contrary. Davis v. City of San Antonio, 752 S.W.2d 518 (Tex 1988). 11
In reviewing a factual sufficiency of the evidence challenge, the court of appeals must
consider weigh, and examine all of the evidence that supports and is contrary to the finding.
Lofton v. Texas Brine Corp. 720 S.W. 2d 804,805 (1986), rev’d, 777 S.W.2d 834 (Tex. 1989).
Findings of fact in a case tried to the court have the same force and dignity a jury’s verdict upon
jury questions, however they are not conclusive, when a complete statement of facts appears in
the record Middleton v. Kawasaki Steel Corporation, 687 S.W.2d 42, (Tex. App.- Houston [l4th
Dist.] 1985, writ ref’d nre. Per curium, 699 S.W.2d 199 (Tex 1985).
In the present case other than the fact that Appellee wanted a divorce there was no
evidence or insufficient evidence to justify a finding by the trial court that the evidence
supported a finding for the court to award a disproportionate share of the property based on fault
in the breakup of the marriage by Appellant.
PRAYER
Appellant prays that the honorable Court of Appeals reverse and remand this case back to
the Trial Court and order a division of the property that is “just and right”.
