may occur as a result of the stay during appeal, and other damages or amounts as
the court may deem appropriate.

Statutory construction: The plain meaning of the statute is to control. The plain
meaning of the statutory language is presumed to be what the legislature intended,
and if the meaning is plain, the court cannot base its interpretation on any other
method or source. Ronald Benton Brown & Sharon Jacobs Brown, STATUTORY
INTERPRETATION §4.2 AT 38 (2002); See also Boykin v. State, 818 S.W.2d
782,785-8 (Tex. Crill. App. 1991)(en banc).

Tex.R.App.P. 44. Reversible error in Civil Cases. (a) Standard for reversible error.
No judgment may be reversed on appeal on the ground that the trial court made an
error of law unless the court of appeals concludes that the error complained of: (1)
probably caused the rendition of an improper judgment; or (2) probably prevented
the appellant from properly presenting the case to the court of appeals. (b) Error
affecting only part of case. If the error affects part of, but not all, the matter in
controversy and that part is separable without unfairness to the parties, the
judgment must be reversed and a new trail ordered only as to the part affected by
the error. The court may not order a separate trial solely on unliquidated damages
if liability is contested.

Texas Code of Judicial Conduct. Canon 2: Avoiding Impropriety and the
Appearance of Impropriety in All of the Judge's Activities. A. A judge shall

standards apply: B. Adjudicative Responsibilities. (1) A judge shall hear and
decide matters assigned to the judge except those in which disqualification is
required or recusal is appropriate. (9) A judge should dispose of all judicial matters

which is not later than two years after the day the cause of action accrues.

      The sole issue in a forcible detainer suit is who has the right to immediate

possession of the premises. Fandey v. Lee, 880 S.W.2d 164, 168 (Tex.App.-El

Paso 1994, writ denied); Cuellar v. Martinez, 625 S.W.2d 3, 5 (Tex.Civ.App.-

San Antonio 1981, no writ).

      The exclusive purpose of an FED action is to provide a person who is

entitled to the immediate possession of real property a legal remedy, rather than


                                          13
force or violence, to gain possession of the property. To prevail in a forcible

detainer action, a plaintiff is not required to prove title, but is only required to show

sufficient evidence of ownership to demonstrate a superior right to immediate

possess. Goggin v. Leo, 849 S.W .2d 373, 377 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.]

1993, no writ).

      In a forcible detainer action pursuant to §24.002 ofthe Texas Property Code,

the plaintiff is required to show that (1) the plaintiff owned the property; (2) the

defendant became a tenant at sufferance or at will; (3) the plaintiff gave proper

notice to the defendant requiring him to vacate the premises; and (4) the defendant

refused to vacate the premises. Elwell v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 267

S.W.3d 566,568-69 (citing TEX.PROP.CODE ANN. §24.002 (West 2000).

      Under Texas jurisprudence, the general rule to determine when the statute of

limitations begins to accrue is the legal injury rule. Rogers v. Ricane Enterprises,

Inc., 930 S.W.2d 157 (Tex. App.-Amarillo, 1996, modified on rehearing, writ

denied, rehearing of writ of error overruled)(stating, "For purpose of application of

statutes of limitation, cause of action can generally be said to "accrue" when

wrongful act effects injury, regardless of when plaintiffleamed of injury. ").

      The exception is the continuous tort rule.        Upjohn Co. v. Freeman, 885

S.W.2d 538 (Tex.App.-Dallas, 1994, rehearing denied, writ denied)(stating,

"Typically, limitations period begins to run when claim accrues or when damages


                                           14
are sustained; however, exception to this rule is found with continuing torts, as to

which cause of action does not accrue until defendant's tortious act ceases. ").

      In other words, ifthe legal status of the tenant is constant over the passage of

time, the legal injury rule applies; whereas if the legal status of the tenant changes

with time the continuous tort rule applies. Note that in a rental case, the legal

status of the tenant changes when he/she pays the rent, curing the default.

However, that is not the case in the case of a tenant at sufferance, because the legal

status of the tenant at sufferance remains as an unlawful detainer; unless and until

he/she surrenders possession, is evicted, or enters an agreement with the landlord;

notwithstanding being served with subsequent 3 day notices and the filing of FED

actions.

      The question of when a cause of action accrues is a judicial one to be

determined with due regard to underlying statutory policy of repose, without,

however, permitting unnecessary individual injustices. Rogers v.               Ricane

Enterprises, Inc., (Tex.App-Amarillo, 1996). Where the language in a statute is

unambiguous, the courts must seek the intent ofthe legislature as found in the plain

and common meaning of the words and terms used. RepublicBank Dallas, NA. v

Interkal, Inc., 691 S.W.2d 605, 607 (Tex. 1985); eail v. Service Motors, Inc., 660

S.W.2D 814, 815 (Tex.1983).




                                          15
      The primary purpose of all limitation statutes is to compel the exercise of a

right of action within a reasonable time so that the opposing party has a fair

opportunity to defend while witnesses are available. Sanchez v. Archdiocese of

San Antonio, 873 S.W.2d 87 (1994).

      If the court opts to bypass the injury and continuous tort methods of the

"accrual of action" it can determine the accrual by determining when the right of

action begins. Appellant asserts that if this method of accrual is used, the time

begins when a foreclosure sale takes place and the buyer at the foreclosure sale

becomes the "landlord" and the former owner becomes the tenant at sufferance.

Upon the filing of the foreclosure deed, the buyer/owner, would have a complete

and present cause of action. The date of the deed or the filing would mark the date

when the owner can file suit and gain relief. At that point, the landlord's right of

action includes his right to possession.    It is at that point that the "landlord" has

the right to possession of the property and must exercise his speedy right of

possession before the two year statute of limitations bars the action, if he chooses

to use the speedy relief open to him via the justice court.

      It could be argued that the 3 day notice to vacate is the accrual of action if

one determines that the legal injury applies when determining limitations period.

However, as the 3 day notice to vacate is a procedural requirement of a forcible




                                           16
detainer action, not a substantive right to possession, the date of foreclosure would

apply.

         A landlord in a tenant at sufferance, (foreclosure) case could send a 3 day

notice to vacate numerous times, but it does not reset nor alter the accrual of action

which begins when the entity becomes the titled owner of record and acquires the

right of possession or sustains an injury after the first 3 day notice to vacate is sent

and ignored.

         To give credence to a procedural requirement, i.e., notice to vacate, as the

creation of a new cause of action or date of accrual, is a misinterpretation of the

statute.

         In the case of a tenant at sufferance, the right to possession accrues when a

foreclosure sale is held and title is issued in the name of the purchaser at the sale,

not when the procedurally required Notice to Vacate is served. Because forcible

detainer is a statutory cause of action, a landlord must strictly comply with its

requirements. Kennedy v. Andover Place Apts., 203 S.W.3d 495, 497 (Tex.App.-

Houst [14th Dist.] 2006, no pet.), ultimately, the landlord is suing for his right to

possessIOn.

         A forcible detainer action is a special proceeding designed to be a speedy,

simple, and inexpensive means to obtain immediate possession of the property.

Coinmach Corp. v. Aspenwood Apt. Corp., 417 S.W .3d 909, 919 (Tex. 20l3);


                                           17
Marshall v. Hous. Auth. Of San Antonio, 198 S.W.3d 782, 787 (Tex. 2006). Texas

courts have repeatedly recognized that a judgment of possession in a forcible

detainer action is a determination only of the right to immediate possession and

does not determine the ultimate rights of the parties to any other issue in

controversy relating to the property at issue. See, e.g., Williams v. Bayview-Realty

Assocs., 420 S.W.3d 358, 361 (Tex.App-Houston [14th Dist.] 2014, no pet.).

Federal Home Loan v. Pham, Crawford Block, 1-13-00109-CV (Texas App.-

Houston [14th Dist.] 2014).

      It goes without saying that TIBlFannie Mae was entitled to supenor

possession following a foreclosure sale on June 7, 2011. CR p.80-83. It was at

that point that Appellant became a tenant at sufferance. TIBlFannie Mae slept on

its right to evict and never prosecuted to finality a forcible entry and detainer

action or a forcible detainer action against Appellant, a tenant at sufferance who

maintained possession after the sale. In the case before this Court, Appellant was

not named in the present suit and was forced to intervene in order to exercise his

superior right to possession because Fannie Mae was barred by limitations from

gaining possession by a forcible detainer action.

      Fannie Mae sued Appellant injustice court on October 15,2012 for forcible

detainer, but the suit was voluntarily dismissed because Appellee reasoned it could

execute a writ of possession without going through a forcible detainer action.


                                         18
      After the posting of a 3 day letter to vacate dated June 5, 2013, Fannie Mae

sued Appellant and his wife for possession on July 10, 2013 in Travis County

justice court, Cause No. J2-CV -13-070643 . Possession was awarded to Fannie

Mae, the case was appealed and received by the county court on August 9, 2013,

Cause No. C-1-CV-13-007413.         Fannie Mae did not prosecute the action and

waived its right to speedy possession in that instance.

      In this case, Fannie Mae only sued in the name of the occupant of the tenant

at sufferance, ostensibly in order to avoid Appellant's claim that Fannie Mae is

time barred.

      Appellant asserts that the limitations period began after foreclosure sale,

when he became a tenant at sufferance.          However, if the court determines the

limitations period begins after sustaining an injury, Appellee would have suffered

an injury when it sent the first 3 day notice to vacate on June 30, 2011, and the

tenant at sufferance refused to vacate.        The refusal to vacate gave rise to the

forcible detainer cause of action, because at that point all the elements of

Tex.Prop.C.§24.002 were satisfied. It was the Appellant's noncompliance with the

June 30, 2011 three day notice to vacate that caused the injury and gave rise to the

filing of a forcible detainer action in justice court.       The legal status of the

Appellant changed from tenant at sufferance to unlawful detainer




                                          19
      The trial court in the Travis County court for forcible detainer, Cause No.

C-l-CV -14-006351 made an error of law which probably caused the rendition of

an improper judgment.      There is no question that Fannie Mae did not bring a

forcible detainer action against intervening Appellant until after the 2 year statute

of limitations had barred it from doing so, utilizing any of the formulas for

determining accrual of action.. Therefore, judgment for possession could not have

been awarded to Fannie Mae, it was barred by statute.

      In Coinmach,        Appellant was a commercial tenant that remained in

possession for six years after it lost its lease when the property was sold through

foreclosure.   The tenant ultimately conceded that the foreclosure terminated the

lease and, because the new owner immediately and continually insisted that the

tenant vacate the premises, the tenant became a tenant at sufferance.

      As a general rule, a cause of action accrues and the statute of limitations

begins to run when facts come into existence that authorizes a party to seek a

judicial remedy. Johnson & Higgins of Tex., Inc. v. Kenneco Energy, Inc., 962

S.W.2d 507, 5145 (Tex. 1998); Murray v. San Jacinto Agency, Inc., 800 S.W.2d

826 at 828 (Tex. 1991).

      A cause of action accrues when a suit may be maintained thereon, and the

statute of limitations therefore begins to run at that time. The statute of limitations

begins to run when plaintiff first had the power to make a demand, such as a


                                          20
demand for possession. Appellee, once it obtained title from its predecessor, had

the power to bring an action for forcible detainer, as it had acquired the right to

possessIOn.

      A cause of action generally accrues when facts come into existence which

authorizes a claimant to seek a judicial remedy. Trail Enters., v. City of Houston,

957 S.W.2d 625,631 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1997, pet. denied)

      It is the standard rules that accrual occurs when the plaintiff has 'a complete

and present cause of action' . Bay Area Laundry and Dry Cleaning Pension Trust

Fund v. Ferbar Corp. of Cal., 522 US . 192,201 (US .S.Ct. 2007). That is, when

"the plaintiff can file suit and obtain relief." Bay Area Laundry, supra, at 201.

      A limitations period ordinarily does not begin to run until the plaintiff has a

"complete and present cause of action." Rawlings v. Ray, 312 US. 96,98 (1941).

      Fannie Mae, when it was vested with title, had the right to possession and

the right to a cause of action. The cause of action does not arise by the sending of

a 3 day notice to vacate, that is a manifestation of the right, not the right itself.

Appellant's right of possession to the subject property terminated upon foreclosure,

and Appellant thereby became a tenant at sufferance. Williams v. Deutsche Bank

Nat'l Trust Co., No. 05-11-00434-CV, 2012 Tex. App. LEXIS 3352 *5-6 (Tex.

App.-Dallas, Apr. 27, 2012, no pet.). Appellant became a tenant at sufferance

immediately upon the foreclosure of the property under a deed of trust. Williams,


                                            21
2012 Tex. App. LEXIS 3353 *5-6 (holding where substitute trustee's deed

specifies that foreclosure was conducted under a deed of trust, mortgagor becomes

tenant at sufferance immediately after foreclosure sale).

      Forcible detainer is a special proceeding. One which determines a superior

right to possession, however, the right to sue for forcible detainer is also meant to

be speedy, thus the two year statute of limitations. If one has a right to possession

and does not exercise its speedy remedy, it waives its right to sue for forcible

detainer in justice court. That does not mean that it has lost its right to possession,

it simply means that it has waived its right to the speedy, simple and inexpensive

means to obtain immediate possession of the property. It is not bereft of all

remedies, just the speedy one.

      Laches would apply if the owner of the property was not barred by the two

year statute of limitation. A party cannot drag its feet on exercising a remedy. It

must sue for possession within two years of foreclosure sale or when it comes into

possession ofthe property and the right to possession.

      In the instant case, TIB foreclosed on June 7, 2011, Fannie Mae sent Kevin

Bierwirth a 3 day notice to vacate on June 30, 2011, and filed an Original Petition

for Forcible Detainer on November 7,2012. After the posting of a 3 day letter to

vacate dated June 5, 20l3, Fannie Mae sued again on July 10, 2013 in Travis

County justice court, Cause No. J2-CV -13-008316, but failed to prosecute the case.


                                          22
It is clear from the timeline, using any method of accrual, that Fannie Mae was

barred from utilizing a forcible detainer action either by June 8, 2013 or July 1,

20l3 .

         Finally, to equate the accrual of action to the perspective of common law,

Appellant reduces the problem to an analogy. If one receives a check in payment

of a transaction, one holds the right to the money, not the money. If the check is

not cashed within a certain period of time, the right to cash the check expires and

the check becomes a worthless piece of paper. When the foreclosure deed is filed,

the buyer has the right to possession, not the possession itself. If the buyer sleeps

on that right, he is no longer entitled to the speedy remedy offered by forcible

detainer injustice court. In this case, that date is June 8, 20l3.

         On the other hand, should the court determine that the accrual of the action

is when the injury first occurs, i.e., after a 3 day notice to vacate is sent and the

tenant at sufferance refuses to vacate, the date the statute began to run was June 30,

2011, more than two years before the case before the court was filed .

                                     ISSUE 2
             Whether the use of a 310 writ of possession was improper.

         In the course of their defense of foreclosure, it became popular for a period

of time for attorneys who worked for the foreclosing banks to present orders to

judges after summary judgment in title suits in district court, that, in their belief,



                                           23
would negate the necessity of eviction, or a forcible detainer action. Such is the

case in this instance.

      TIB filed for summary judgment in Appellant's Declaratory Judgment case

and on April 21, 2011 was granted a Final Summary Judgment and Order

Allowing Home Equity Foreclosure. CR p.26-28 This order was appealed and

subsequently, Appellant was ruled against.

      A portion ofthe language of the Order reads:

      IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that this
Judgment shall have all the force and effect of a writ of possession in favor of TIB
and that this Court shall issue all necessary orders to effectuate same pursuant to
Rule 310 ofthe Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.


      Armed with a "Final Summary Judgment and Order Allowing Home Equity

Foreclosure", RR Exhibit Vol. Exhibit 2, pg. 2-A., in Cause No. D-l-GN-ll-

000417, Fannie Mae caused four TCRP Rule 310 writs to be served on Bierwirth

personally. The constables who served them were at a loss as to what the writs

were for, as the writs clearly show they are to satisfy a money judgment.

      A 310 writ is issued after a 309 suit has been adjudicated.

      A Tex.R.Civ.P. 310 writ of possession is an order foreclosing a lien upon

real estate in a suit having for its object the foreclosure of such lien. In order to

obtain a TRCP 310 writ, a suit must be filed pursuant to the rules in Tex.R.Civ.P

309: i.e., a judgment in a suit foreclosing a lien on real estate for the recovery of


                                         24
debt, damages and costs. The foreclosure sale must be conducted by a sheriff or

constable who then seizes the property for payment of the debt.

      Further, after the sheriffs sale, Tex.R.Civ.P 310 states that the sheriff or

other officer executing such order of sale shall proceed by virtue of such order of

sale to place the purchaser of the property sold thereunder in possession thereof

within thirty days after the day of sale. (A sheriffs deed).

      In the instant case, no sale ofthe subject property was conducted by a sheriff

or constable, and the writs were improper and therefore not executed.      Brown v.

EMC Mortg. Corp. 326 S.W.3d 648, 653-54 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2010, pet. denied).

In Brown, the appeals court reasoned that the trail court made an error of law that

probably caused the rendition of an improper judgment. See Tex.R.App.P.44.l."

      The Brown court further reasoned that "The requirement that the sale of the

property in a judicial foreclosure be conducted by a sheriff or constable is clear,

unambiguous, and does not conflict with any provision of chapter 51. Indeed,

chapter 51 distinguishes between foreclosure sales conducted under the chapter

and those conducted under a court judgment foreclosing the lien.             See id.

§51.005(a)(2). Because nothing in chapter 51 conflicts with rule 309, we must

assume that the legislature intended for judicial foreclosures to continue to be

conducted by sheriffs or constables even after the enactment of chapter 51 .

Accordingly, the order of sale in this case is not in compliance with Texas law".


                                          25
      In this case, Fannie Mae's attorney makes reference to a foreclosure

conducted pursuant to the summary judgment. RR. Vol.2 pg. 6, I 22-24. And

again at RR Vo1.2, pg. 8, I. 2-4. Fannie Mae claims it had the legal right to

possession due to the summary judgment order.

      In RR Vol. 2 pg. 27, I. 9-10, Fannie Mae admits there was no sheriffs sale.

      RR Vol. 2 pg. 35, I. 17-25, RR Vol. 2, pg. 36,1.., Fannie Mae admits that

notice to vacate was served in November of 2011.

      Appellee states that Fannie Mae already has a writ of possession against

Bierwirth. RR Vol. 2, pg. 51, I. 21-22

      The only writs of possession which have ever been served on Kevin

Bierwirth, the tenant at sufferance, and the only party liable for possession, were

writs issued pursuant to TRCP 310.

      As a result of the summary judgment order, the First Writ of Possession

issued on April 21, 2011, and was served by a Constable on February 13, 2013,

with the notation: "Delivered copy of writ to Kevin Bierwirth in person at 3638

Spring Canyon Trail, Round Rock, TX. And seize any property located at 3305

Spaniel Drive, Austin, TX 78759. See APPENDIX Exhibit 2

Bierwirth. See APPENDIX Exhibit 5

      Appellant's attorney, Stephen Casey discusses the holding in Brown v. EMC

in RR Vol. 2, pg. 52,53, 54, and the fact that there was not a proper judicial

foreclosure as ordered.

      It is apparent that Appellee relied on a writ of possession for payment of a

debt, incorrectly ordered and issued, instead of a writ of possession for the

property, pursuant to a forcible detainer action.

      Clearly, the TRCP 310 writ, although having been served four times over the

course ofthree years is and always has been void. The writ did not issue as a result

of a forcible entry and detainer, or forcible detainer suit.

      Fannie Mae slept on its rights and is barred from filing the forcible detainer

action and the attempt to execute a 310 writ is improper.

                                   ISSUE 3
        Whether it was an error of law when the Trial Judge did not set
                             a supersedeas bond


                                           27
      The trial judge, when he issued the order for writ of possession, did not set

an amount for supersedeas bond. Appellant asserts the absence of an amount of

bond is judicial error. A reading of both Tex.R.Civ.P. 510.13, and Tex.Prop.C.

§24.007 state: "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."

      This would lead an ordinary person to believe that it is the duty of the

presiding judge in a county court which is conducting a trial de novo for forcible

detainer to set a bond amount which would supersede the judgment until after

appeal.

      It cannot be presumed that the one against whom a judgment issued is not

going to appeal, and be forced to once more go to the court in order to be able to

get a supersedeas amount. This is not economy ofthe courts.

      Because the statute is so clear that the amount is set by the county court, it is

judicial error for the judge to not set an amount.

      In this case, a Motion for Supersedeas Bond was filed with the Court on

August 8, 2014, CR p. 123, the day after Judgment issued, CR p. 124-125.            In

order to be heard, the Motion must be set for hearing, and in order to be effective,

it must be set before the 10 day deadline for filing the supersedeas bond. Despite

numerous attempts to schedule the hearing, the Travis County clerk's office set a


                                          28
date for the hearing on August 22nd, three days after execution of the judgment on

the 19th of August, too late to stay the judgment, thus denying Appellant access to

the court and due process.

      The plain language rule of statutory construction states: Where the language

is plain and admits of no more than one meaning the duty of interpretation does not

arise. Caminetti v. United States, 242 U.S. 470, 485 (1917). Where the language

of an enactment is clear and construction according to its terms does not lead to

absurd or impracticable consequences, the words employed are to be taken as the

final expression of the meaning intended. United States v. Missouri Pac. R.R.Co.

278 U.S. 269,278 (1929)

                                   ISSUE 4
  Whether it is judicial error when the presiding trial judge, Honorable Joe
                   Carroll did not sign the Judgment order.

      The presiding judge at the trial on August 5, 2014, was the Honorable Joe

Carroll. CR Vol.2 p. 1. Judge Carroll did not sign the order of judgment which

issued as a result ofthe hearing.

      Appellee asserts that by not signing the order, Judge Carroll is in violation of

the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct, Canons 2 and 3.           It is the assertion of

Appellant that if a retired judge accepts an assignment to the bench, it is his duty

and obligation to conclude the business of the court, in particular, to sign the

judgment he rendered in the case he heard.


                                         29
         Judge Eric M. Sheppard signed the order, CR p. 124-125, Appendix Exhibit

1, which states: "On August 5, 2014, the Court heard the Petition for Forcible

Detainer brought by Federal National Mortgage Association, against Dana

Dutschmann, AND/OR ALL OCCUPANTS OF 3305 Spaniel Drive, Austin, TX

78759."

         Present in the court hearing on August 5, 2014, was Judge Joe Carrol, as

presiding judge. Since Judge Sheppard did not attend the hearing and was not in

court, would the signing of the judgment by a judge who was not present in court

constitute impropriety?

         Appellant believes that when the presiding judge, especially one who has

been brought in on a temporary basis to hear a limited number of cases and then

leave, does not sign the order in the case over which he presided, it is judicial error

or malfeasance.

                                ISSUE 5
  Whether a premature issuance of a Writ of Possession from County Court
                 denied Appellant of due process of law.

         The judgment in this case was signed by Judge Eric Shepard on August 7,

2014. A Writ of Possession issued on August 13, 2014, just six days later. Before

the execution ofthe writ, which occurred on August 19,2014, Appellant frantically

attempted to obtain a hearing to set an amount to supersede the judgment, to no

avail.    The hearing was finally scheduled for August 22, 2014 .         Appellant's


                                          30
attorney Stephen Casey consulted with opposing counsel and requested the writ be

stayed until the hearing when it could be superseded. Opposing counsel would not

agree to wait for the hearing.

      Because he was forced to obtain a hearing in order to set a supersedeas bond

amount which the trial court had failed to issue, and a hearing was not assigned for

14 days, Appellant asserts that he was denied access to an open court and due

process.

      InMarshallv. Housing Authority City San Antonio, 198 S.W .3d 782, (Tex.

2006), the record shows the following : "On November 1, 2002, the trail court

entered judgment awarding the Housing Authority (1) possession of the apartment

after November 14, 2002, (2) court costs, and (3) post-judgment interest.        On

November 8, 2002, Marshall filed a motion seeking suspension of enforcement of

the judgment or, in the alternative, setting of a supersedeas bond. In the motion

she specified that she intended to appeal. Following a hearing on November 7,

2002, a supersedeas bond amount was set pursuant to Texas Property Code Section

24.007, but Marshall did not post bond."

      It appears from the opinion, that when the judgment issued on November 1,

it was noted that the writ would not issue until November 14, a period of more than

10 days after the order.     Further, when the court had set no bond, Marshall

motioned for a supersedeas bond, and a hearing was held within the ten day period,


                                           31
on November 7. Marshall was granted a hearing within 7 days of the order, which

would allow her to file the supersedeas bond.       It appears from the record that

Marshall was afforded timely due process.        Appellant was denied timely due

process.

      The fact that the writ issued on the 6th day after judgment, in contradiction to

Tex.R.Civ.P 510.13 and Tex.Prop.C. §24.007, which allows a supersedeas bond to

be filed within 10 days of the judgment, Appellant was denied due process and

deprived of property without due course of the law of the land, a violation of the

Texas Constitution Bill of Rights relating to deprivation of property without due

process and equal treatment.

                                 ISSUE 6
  Whether in the Emergency Petition for Writ of Reentry hearing, the Trial
                       Judge misapplied the law.

      After the eviction, Appellant filed an Emergency Petition for Writ of

Reentry on August 28, 2014 . CR p. 132-133. The petition claimed that the court

erred in issuing a writ before the lOth day after judgment and that Plaintiff was in

violation of Tex.R.Civ.P. 510.13.

      In its response to the Emergency Petition for Writ of Reentry, CR p. 189-

192, Appellee claims it complied with all applicable procedural and substantive

rules. In addition, Appellee claimed that Appellant had waived any objection to

the form of the Judgment by failing to state such objection at the hearing on


                                         32
August 5, and that the writ of reentry was moot because he was not in possession

of the premises and there is no potential basis for his claim that he is entitled to

actual possession ofthe premises.

      Appellant's attorney Stephen Casey signed the proposed order: "Approved

as to Form Only". This does not waive any right as to the substance ofthe order.

      At the "emergency" hearing on the matter, on September 29,2014, the first

date the clerk was willing to set, Judge Sheppard, on October 13, 2014, denied the

Petition. CR p. 200.

      Although the order states that the writ of possession shall not issue until the

expiration of five days from the date this judgment is signed, it cannot be binding

because the language does not comply with the law. Both Tex.R.Civ.P 510.13

Appeal and Tex.Prop.C. §24.007, the rule and statute which apply to county court

proceedings, state that an appellant has 10 days to file a supersedeas bond in an

amount set by the court in order to stay execution ofthe writ.

      At the hearing on the 29 th of September, 2014, Appellant informs the court

that pursuant to Tex.Prop.C. §24.007, the writ could not have issued before 10

days after the judgment issued. RR V.1 of 1 p. 4, 1. 24 - p. 5, 1. 6 (Anderson).

      Beginning on RR V.1 of 1, p. 5, 1. 12-16,

      The Court: "The rules require that the writ itself be issued within six day.

So the writ has to be done within six days, that's the rule for the writ. That's why I


                                         33
am asking you about this other rule because the \Wit is done within six days, that's

what the rule requires.

      Mr. Bierwirth: May I ask what rule it is.

      The Court: Sure it's five something, let me get it.

      Mr. Dent:       Your Honor Rule 510.

      The Court: It is 510 but there is a bunch of different subsections.

      Mr. Bierwirth: I got 510.13.

      The Court: That's why I asked you where you got the 10 day rule from.

      Mr. Bierwirth:      The county Courts always allow 10 days to put in a

supersedeas bond Your Honor for to stay the \Wit while it's on appeal. And then it

also says on the Texas Rules of Appellant Procedure that the Trial Court will

determine the type.

      The Court: Why would the appellate rules apply in this Court.

      Mr. Bierwirth: For the bond, to set the bond amount. The bond was never

set. And it states that for recovery of property for the judgment in this recovery of

interest in the real personal property the Trail Court will determine .... So it says

when the judgment for the recovery of interest in rural (sic) or personal property

the Trial Court will determine the type of security that the judgment debtor must

post. And that wasn't done.

      The Court: okay


                                         34
      Mr. Bierwirth: And then a writ was issued five days after the hearing. And

a motion also was filed the very next day after the hearing to motion the Court to

set the bond amount and it was ignored.

      The Court: Okay, so what you're saying is there is a conflict in the rules.

And the fact that the rule says the writ should be done within six days is in conflict

with the rule that says you get a bond amount within 10 days. And that we have to

wait the 10 days even though the rule says you have six days to issue the writ.

      Mr. Bierwirth: Correct. I am not necessarily agreeing with the five day.

Because why would the 10 days be there to superseded it if they can get a writ

within five days.

      The Court: What is your response to Mr. Bierwirth's claim that he gets 10

days for the supersedeas bond and that the motion for-the writ should not have

issued.

      Mr. Dent: I think he is talking about rule 510.13, that's a misreading. The

rule actually says is that a judgment could be stayed if the bond is posted. In this

case the bond was not posted, the writ was executed or issued within the timeframe

as the rule say. And it was executed upon within the timeframe of the rules. And

Mr. Bierwirth is no longer in possession ofthe property at this time."




                                          35
       Judge Sheppard's comments are disingenuous at the very least. It is difficult

to imagine that Judge Sheppard does not understand that the appellate rules apply,

because the county court acts as an appellate court in a trial de novo.

       The "after five days the writ will issue rule" applies, with one exception, to

the justice courts.

       That exception is Tex.Prop.C. §24.0054, Tenant's failure to pay rent during

appeal. (2) of said statute states that the county court shall immediately issue a

writ of possession when the tenant has filed to timely pay the rent. (d) has the

sixth day language in it which pertains to the county courts.

       Appellant was under no obligation nor duty to pay rent and therefore

Tex.Prop.C. §24.0054 does not apply and is misapplied by the judge.

       Appellant asserts that the Court committed an error of law that caused the

rendition of an improper judgment when it continued to claim that the county court

has the right to issue a writ of possession before the lOth day after judgment.

      Needless to say that counsel's statement of Mr. Bierwirth is no longer in

possession of the property at this time is a ridiculous observation and has no

bearing on a request for writ of reentry. If a person is still in their home, they

would have no need for reentry.




                                          36
                                        CONCLUSION

       Fannie Mae, after a foreclosure sale, was vested with the right to possession

of the property at 3305 Spaniel Drive. Fannie Mae had two years from the date of

accrual of the action in which to evict Appellant from the property. Rather than

prosecute forcible detainer actions, Fannie Mae served Appellant with four Rule

310 writs, which authorize the seizure of personal property by a constable or

sheriff, to be sold to recover a debt which was the result of a foreclosure of a lien

on property. None of the underlying requirements was met, there was no suit to

foreclose, and no sheriffs sale. All conditions precedent for mandatory for 309

relief before issuance of a 310 writ.

       Fannie Mae elected to waive suit on Appellant in justice court and was

barred by limitations in the suit before this court.

       Further, the court engaged in irregular process, would not set timely hearings

in order to offer relief, and engaged in unseemly conduct.

                                          PRAYER

       Appellant prays that this Court find that Appellee waived its right to a

forcible detainer suit in justice court by delaying suit until the statute of limitations

ran.

       Appellant prays that this Court reverse the judgment ofthe lower court in all

matters, including, the case was barred by statute of limitations, wrongful issuance
