brief asking the Court to reverse the Order of the trial court against AJS Corp., Air Jireh, and

Sepulveda (herein collectively "Appellants"). Appellants respectfully show that prior to the

filing of this brief, Appellant Sepulveda, filed a Notice of Bankruptcy in this Court. As such, in

order to not violate the Stay as to Sepulveda, Appellants continue the references to Sepulveda in

this brief only for purposes of continuity in Appellant AJS Corp. And Air Jireh's argument and

Promissory Estoppel on or about October 3, 2013. AJS Corp. filed an Original Answer on

October December 2,2013.      Weaver and Jacobs then filed a Second Amended Petition on

Act. Weaver and Jacobs filed their Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment on May 8, 2014.

AJS Corp. filed its Response to Weaver & Jacob's Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment on

June 24,2014.   A hearing was held on Weaver & Jacob's Motion for Summary Judgment on July

2,2014 and it was denied by Order dated November 26,2014.         On July 30,2014, AJS Corp.

filed its Supplemental Answer and Counterclaim.        On August 4,2014, Weaver & Jacobs filed its

action of Fraud and Negligent Misrepresentation against additional Defendant Sepulveda. Air

Appellants filed their Objections to Proposed Judgment and Motion to Clarify Court's Ruling

setting the matter for hearing on March 23, 2015. Appellants filed their Request for Findings of

Fact and Conclusions of Law on February 25,2015.      The Court signed a Judgment on March 5,

2015. The Court rendered its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on March 20,2015.

Appellants filed their Notice of Appeal on April23, 2015.

        1. Whether the Trial Court erred in its Findings of Fact and Conclusions oflaw in

granting a judgment against AJS, Corp.

       2. Whether the Trial Court erred in ruling that a valid, enforceable contract was formed

between Weaver & Jacobs and Appellants.

       3. Whether the Trial Court erred in ruling that Air Jireh's Bid represented Air Jireh's

enforceable promise, in such a manner that Weaver & Jacobs would act in reliance on the

promise; and that Weaver & Jacobs did rely on the promise to its detriment.

                                    STATEMENT OF FACTS

        The parties filed a Joint Statement of Stipulated Facts. Additionally, on June 26,2013,

Sepulveda, Project Manager for Air Jireh found a request for proposals on the Builders

Exchange Website regarding the Taft Independent School District High School Improvements

projects (herein the "Project"). The same day Sepulveda submitted an email bid (herein

"original bid") to Weaver & Jacobs in the amount of$147,732.00.       The original bid was per the

plans and specifics of the project and was to include certain digital controls (herein "controls").

Due to the fact Weaver & Jacobs were over budget, Mike Weaver of Weaver & Jacobs contacted

Sepulveda to engage in value engineering. On July 7,2013, Mr. Weaver sent Air Jireh an email

informing Air Jireh that Weaver & Jacobs wanted to replace the controls with wall-mounted

thermostats.   On July 9, 2014 Air Jireh responded to Weaver & Jacobs by submitting a revised

bid (herein "first revised bid") in the amount to f$132, 670.00 and was incorrectly dated June

26,2013.   According to Weaver & Jacobs, Air Jireh had not adjusted the first revised bid to

recognize the full reduction price due to the fact that the controls were a single-source


                                                  -3-
specification. Air Jireh submitted another revised bid (herein "second revised bid") in the

amount of $125,971.00 which indicated thennastats instead of controls and was also incorrectly

dated June 26,2013.   On July 23,2013 Weaver & Jacobs sent a subcontract for Air Jireh to

review and sign. Air Jireh reviewed the subcontract and noticed problems with the subcontract.

The first problem with the contract was the commencement date. The date on the contract was

June 25,2013.   The commencement date was also June 25,2013, but the contract was forwarded

to Air Jireh on July 23, 2013. The second problem with the contract was that it stated the

subcontract was to follow the scope and work in accordance with the plans and specifications.

Although Air Jireh submitted three (3) separate bids, the plans and specifications were never

properly changed and included controls. As part of Air Jireh protocol, they will not submit

submittals, shop drawings, or release PO information without having a signed contract with each

job. Air Jireh could not sign the contract due to the above stated problems. Nonetheless, when

Weaver & Jacobs presented their subcontract to a third-party after Air Jireh allegedly breached,

the subcontract had a different commencement date and the plans and specs were changed.

                                 SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

       It is Appellants' position that the Trial Court has erred regarding its Judgment against

AJS Corp., Air Jireh, and Sepulveda. First the Trial Court erred by granting a judgment against

AJS, Corp. as there was no evidence of AJS Corp. at trial, in the Court's Findings of Fact and

Conclusions of Law, nor in the party's stipulated facts. Second, the Trial Court has erred in

concluding that a valid, enforceable contract was fanned. A contract can only exist if there is

mutual assent or "meeting of the minds" regarding the subject matter and essential terms ofthe

contract. There was not an agreement to the terms of the contract. While Weaver & Jacobs

thought certain details regarding controls and specs or commencement dates were not

necessarily important, they were important to Appellants' to avoid liability. If they were not so


                                                -4-
important, then why did Weaver & Jacobs change the third-party subcontract after Appellants

allegedly breached? Third, the Trial Court erred in concluding that Air Jireh's bid offer

represented an enforceable promise. To succeed on a claim of promissory estoppel, Appellants

feel that the promise must be clear and unambiguous in its terms. As stated earlier, some

material aspects of the alleged promise/contract were not clear. Weaver & Jacobs felt that they

were not clear as well, which is why they changed the third-party subcontract. Fourth, the Trial

Court erred in concluding that Weaver & Jacobs was entitled to relief under the DTPA. Texas

allows a DTPA claim to run with a breach of contract claim when the Defendant's

misrepresentation is made to induce the consumer into the transaction. However, there was

never any evidence of Appellants misrepresenting any information to induce Weaver & Jacobs

into the transaction. As a matter of fact, the evidence shows the contrary, that Appellants had

every intention to perform according to their bids, as long as both sides were clear on the terms.

Furthermore, Weaver & Jacobs, as a matter oflaw, is not even entitled to the protections

afforded to Consumers under the DTPA because Weaver & Jacobs is not a consumer as the

conflict arose from a written contract that was more than $100,000.00. The fact that every bid

submitted by Appellants was over $100,000.00 removes Weaver & Jacobs from the protections

under the DTP A. Fifth, the Trial Court erred in concluding that Sepulveda made false

representations when submitting the resume and submitting the bid. The only evidence

regarding the resume of AJS Corp., was that it was true and correct as to the services performed

and that the company had been in business for the past twenty (20) years. There was never any

controverting evidence. A company is allowed to perform under a d/b/a and take credit for the

jobs. Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence to show that Appellants never intended to enter

into a contract. The evidence actually shows that Appellants had every intention to enter into a

contract, but at an agreement to the terms, which there was never an agreement. Lastly, the Trial


                                                 -5-
Court erred in awarding attorney fees to Weaver & Jacobs. The fees were not reasonable and

necessary. Furthermore, the fees were not segregated as they should have been because there

were multiple causes of action that were not so interrelated as required. An award of attorney's

fees erroneously based upon evidence of unsegregated fees requires a remand.

                                           ARGUMENT

        Issue 1: The Trial Court erred in its Findings of Fact and Conclusions oflaw and in

granting a judgment against AJS Corp.


                                ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES


        On March 5, 2015, the Honorable Kemper Stephen Williams signed a Final Judgment in

favor of Weaver & Jacobs and against all Appellants. However, in the Findings of Fact and

Conclusions of Law signed by the Court on March 20,2015, AJS Corp. is never listed or even

referred to, only Air Jireh and Sepulveda are named. Furthermore, AJS Corp. was never a party

in the Joint Statement of Stipulated Facts, nor was it listed in said Joint Statement of Stipulated

Facts. Lastly, there was no evidence at trial to implicate AJS, Corp., only Air Jireh. In

considering a no evidence point of error, this court must consider only evidence and inferences

that support the finding and disregard all contrary evidence and inferences. Dolenz v.

Continental National Bank, 620 S.W.2d 572, 576 (Tex. 1985); Oxoco Exploration & Prod., Inc.

v. Arrowhead Drilling Corp., No. A14 86 181 CV, 1986 WL 13431, at *1 (Tex. App. Nov.

20, 1986). There was no evidence, nor were there any inferences as to AJS Corp. and as such it

was error for the Court to grant a judgment against AJS, Corp. without any evidence.


       Issue 2: The Trial Court erred in ruling that a valid, enforceable contract was formed

between Weaver & Jacobs and Air Jireh.

                                ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES


        To establish the existence of an enforceable contract, a party must prove (l) an offer, (2)

acceptance of the offer, (3) mutual assent or "meeting of the minds" regarding the subject matter

and essential terms of the contract, and (4) consideration, or mutuality of obligations. See

Baylor Univ. v. Sonnichsen, 221 S.W.3d 632,635 (Tex. 2007); Harca Energy, Inc. v. Re-Entry

People, Inc., 23 S.W.3d 389,392 (Tex. App.-Amarillo, no pet.) (citing Federal Sign v. Texas S.

Univ., 951 S.W.2d 401,408-09 (Tex. 1997)). To form a contract, the offer must be clear and

definite. Gulf Coast Farmers Co-op v. Valley Co-op Oil Mill, 572 S.W.2d 726, 737 (Tex. Civ.

App.-Corpus Christi 1978). A court, in deciding whether a contract was made, should determine

from the facts that all essential terms thereofhave been met. Id. The offer from Weaver &

Jacobs was anything but clear and definite, except of course to Weaver & Jacobs. RR 32:1-5;

33: 11-34:22 Three different bids were submitted, all with the alleged date of June 26, 2013. RR

31: 10-32:4. Likewise, there must be a clear and definite acceptance of all terms contained in the

offer. Id. An acceptance must not change the terms of an offer. If it does, the offer is rejected.

United Concrete Pipe Corp. v. Spin-Line Co., 430 S.W.2d 360,364 (Tex. 1968). A material

change in a proposed contract constitutes a counteroffer, which must be accepted by the other

party. Antonini v. Harris County Appraisal Dist. 999 S.W.2d 608, 614 (Tex. App.-Houston

[14th Dist.] 1999, no pet.). It is well established under Texas Law that the submission ofa bid in

response to an invitation for bids constitutes a formal offer to enter into a contract. Lane &

Nearn v. Warren, 115 S.W. 903 (Tex. Civ. App. 1909, writ refused). The submission of a

second revised bid constituted an offer that Weaver & Jacobs had to accept. Weaver & Jacobs

claims to have accepted the bid and memorialized the acceptance by sending over a subcontract

on July 23,2014.   RR 23:5-20. It was this very subcontract that made Weaver & Jacob's alleged




                                                 -7-
acceptance unclear and not definite. Mutuality of obligation refers to the parties' mutual

understanding and assent to the expression of their agreement. Weynand v. Weynand, 990

S.W.2d 843,846 (Tex. App.-Dallas 199, pet. denied.). The parties must agree to the same thing,

in the same sense, at the same time. The determination of a meeting of the minds, and thus offer

and acceptance, is based on the objective standard of what the parties said and did. Copeland v.

Alsobrook,3   S.W.2d 598,604 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1999, pet. denied). The record is clear

that the parties were not on the same page. Sepulveda constantly refers to the fact that no terms

were agreed upon. RR 75:24-76:6; 76:20-21; 79:25-80:4; 80:16-23. Additionally, to further

corroborate the fact there was not mutual understanding between the parties we look to the

commencement date on both the subcontracts with Air Jireh and the Third-party subcontract.

Weaver & Jacobs admits that the commencement date ofthe subcontracts sent to Air Jireh stated

June 25, 2015, despite the subcontract being created on July 23,2015.    RR 30:7-23.

Furthermore Weaver & Jacobs believes that the commencement date is not important. RR

30: 11-21. However, on the third party subcontract to Crossroads Mechanical that was necessary

after Air Jireh allegedly breached the contract, the commencement date stated August 20,2013

while the subcontract was dated July 23,2015.    RR 32: 13-24. On the third party subcontract to

Crossroads Mechanical, changes were made to the contract to make sure the terms were clear.

RR 33:8-22. Again the fact that Weaver & Jacobs had to make changes to the subcontract when

sending it to Crossroads Mechanical to make sure the parties were clear further corroborates the

fact that there was no mutual agreement between Weaver and Jacobs and Air Jireh and thus no

contract.


        Lastly, there could not have been a valid, enforceable contract due to the statute of

frauds. Under the statute of frauds, a promise or agreement is not enforceable unless the promise




                                                 -8-
or agreement, or a memorandum of it, is in writing; and signed by the person to be charged with

the promise or agreement or by someone lawfully authorized to sign for him. Tex. Bus. & Com.

Code Alli. § 26.01. In this case, there was never a written agreement that was signed by any of

the Appellants. A bid was submitted, however, it was never accepted. Rather, a subcontract was

sent by Weaver & Jacobs that contained material changes and thus constituted a counter-offer as

stated previously. There was never any evidence of a written contract signed by AJS Corp., Air

Jireh, or Sepulveda. Conversely, the subcontract with the third-party contained all required

signatures unlike this contract.


           Issue 3: The Trial Court erred in ruling that Air Jireh's bid represented Air Jireh's

enforceable promise to perform the Work in exchange for the amount of$125,971.00;             that Air

Jireh reasonably foresaw that Weaver & Jacobs would act in reliance on the promise; and that

Weaver & Jacobs did rely on the promise to its detriment.

                                   ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES


           Under Texas law, a plaintiff alleging promissory estoppel must establish (1) a promise;

(2) foreseeable reliance thereon by the promisor; (3) substantial reliance thereon by the

promisee. English v. Fischer, 660 S.W.2d 521, 524 (Tex. 1993). Meanwhile, other Circuits

have held that in order to succeed on a claim of promissory estoppel, a plaintiff must prove: (1) a

promise clear and unambiguous in its terms; (2) reliance by the party to whom the promise is

made; (3) reliance both reasonable and foreseeable; and (4) injury due to the reliance. Premium

Hospitality, L.L.c. v. Astra Capital Funding, CIV.A. 12-0779,2014 WL 896807 (E.D. La. Mar.

6,2014).     For the reasons stated under Appellants' Argument & Authorities for Issue 2, it is

Appellants' position that the alleged promise by Appellants lacked the clarity necessary for




                                                     -9-
Weaver & Jacobs to claim promissory estoppel, thus barring Weaver & Jacobs from claiming

promissory estoppel.


        Issue 4: The Trial Court erred in ruling that Weaver & Jacobs is entitled to all

protections afforded to consumers under the DTP A.


                                ARUGMENT        & AUTHORITIES


        The Texas Supreme Court has made clear that "[a]n allegation of a mere breach of

contract, without more, does not constitute a 'false, misleading or deceptive act' in violation of

the DTPA." Hernandez v.lkon Office Solutions, Inc., 306 F. App'x 180, 182 (5th Cir. 2009);

Tony Gullo Motors L L.P. v. Chapa, 212 S.W.3d 299,304 (Tex.2006) (quoting Ashford Dev.,

Inc. v. USLife Real Estate Serv. Corp., 661 S.W.2d 933,935 (Tex. 1983). Texas law allows

DTP A claims alongside contract claims when the defendant makes an initial misrepresentation

that was known at the time of the transaction and made to induce the consumer into the

transaction. Id. In the present case, the evidence is to the contrary in that there was never a

misrepresentation for Weaver & Jacobs to rely upon. There was no evidence presented that

showed that Sepulveda submitted the bid to induce Weaver & Jacobs into the transaction.

Sepulveda testified that he sent requests for submittals to M&M Metals, Mechanical Reps, and

Professional Air Balance indicating his intention to enter into a transaction. RR 78 :2-16; 79:21-

24. Furthermore, Sepulveda informed Chris Brzozowski of Weaver & Jacobs that Air Jireh

would be willing to perform the work on this project, once the two sides could agree as to the

terms. RR 79:25-80: 1-4. Not once, but twice did Sepulveda testify regarding the Appellants'

intention to perform according to the bids submitted. It was not until August 15, 2015, wherein

Sepulveda acknowledged that witout a signed, written contract Air Jireh would not engage in the




                                                 -10-
project. RR 80:16-23. Additionally, the testimony of Kristen Parisher and Javier Martinez

corroborate the fact that Sepulveda and Air Jireh intend to perfonn the work, but not without the

proper understanding between the parties. According to Kristen Parisher, there was a concern

over liability if the terms ofthe subcontract were not correct. RR 85: 18-87:6.


        There was never any testimony regarding the DTP A and Plaintiff failed to prove its cause

of action under the DTP A. Weaver & Jacobs does not constitute a "consumer" under the DTPA

due to the type of transaction involved. Further, the Deceptive Trade Practices Act does not

apply to a claim arising out of a written contract ifthe contract relates to a transaction, a project,

or a set of transactions related to the same project involving total consideration by the consumer

of more than $100,000.00. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ann. § 17.49. The testimony throughout

trial was regarding a written subcontract. RR 23: 18-20; 42: 13-20. Additionally, the dispute

arose out of three different bids that were submitted to Weaver & Jacobs. All three (3) bids were

for an amount greater than $100,000.00. RR 12:10-14; 41 :23-42:5. The bid that Weaver &

Jacobs allegedly relied upon was for the amount of$125,971.00       RR 32:4-5. Accordingly, the

DTP A does not apply specifically to this transaction and Weaver & Jacobs is not entitled to any

relief under the DTP A.


        Issue 5: The Trial Court erred in ruling that Sepulveda submitted a copy of Air Jireh's

resume which contained several representations; that these representations were false; that

Sepulveda made these representations with knowledge of their falsity or recklessly, as positive

assertions, without knowledge oftheir truth; and that Weaver & Jacobs relied on Sepulveda's

false representations.   (Argument made only for purposes of continuity and NOT to assert any

relief on behalf of Sepulveda who has filed a Notice of Bankruptcy with the Court)




                                                  -11-
                                ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES


        A fraud cause of action requires a material misrepresentation, which was false, and which

was either known to be false when made or was asserted without knowledge of its truth, which

was intended to be acted upon, which was relied upon, and which caused injury." Formosa

Plastics Corp. USA v. Presidio Engineers & Contractors, Inc., 960 S.W.2d 41,47-48 (Tex.

112 L.Ed.2d 775 (1991); see also Stone v. Lawyers Title Ins. Corp., 554 S.W.2d 183, 185

(Tex. 1977). First, a resume was never submitted for Air Jireh. The resume submitted was for

AJS Corp. Javier Martinez, the president of AJS, Corp., clearly states that "this is a resume that

I myself generated for Jireh Services Corporation." RR 62:3-4. For arguments sake, even if the

resume was for Air Jireh, there was no evidence that the jobs on the resume were not performed.

Javier Martinez testified that the resume is "true and correct as to the services perfonned by Air

Jireh Services Corp." RR 61 :24-62:2. Javier Martinez also testified that the company been in

business for the past twenty (20). RR 57:9-58:4. There is no testimony to rebut the statements

of Javier Martinez that the jobs listed on the resume were actually performed, that the resume

was incorrect, that the resume's recitation of'most recent jobs" were false, or that the company

had been in business for over twenty (20) years. Although the jobs listed on the resume, were

some ofthe same jobs listed on the website of AC Plumbing Specialist, Javier Martinez

additionally testified that the entity Air Jireh, also goes by the name of AC Plumbing Specialist.

RR 61 :15-18.; RR 66:19-23. A necessary element of fraud must involve a false representation.

As stated above, there is not any evidence to the contrary that the resume submitted by

Sepulveda was false. The Trial Court erred in ruling that the resume submitted by Sepulveda




                                                -12-
was false. To his knowledge, they were true as he was given them by his employer, Javier

Martinez, who verified through testimony that they were in fact true. Sepulveda, though perhaps

unaware of whether all the jobs were accurate, had no reason to believe that they were false.


        Issue 6: The Trial Court erred in ruling that Sepulveda submitted the bid to Weaver &

Jacobs, in which he represented that Air Jireh would perform the Work in exchange for the sum

of $125,971.00; that these representations were false; that Sepulveda made these representations

with knowledge of their falsity or recklessly, as positive assertions, without knowledge of their

truth; and that Weaver & Jacobs relied on Oskar Sepulveda, Jr's false representations.

(Argument made only for purposes of continuity and NOT to assert any relief on behalf of

Sepulveda who has filed a Notice of Bankruptcy with the Court)

112 L.Ed.2d 775 (1991); see also Stone v. Lawyers Title Ins. Corp., 554 S.W.2d 183, 185

(Tex. 1977). However, the mere failure to perform a contract is not evidence of fraud. Schindler

v. Austwell Farmers Coop., 841 S.W.2d 853,854 (Tex. 1992). The Court in Formosa Plastics

held that evidence had to be presented that representations were made with the intent to deceive

and with no intention of performing as represented. See Spoljaric, 708 S.W.2d at 434; Stanfield,

presented must be relevant to Fonnosa's intent at the time the representation was made.

Spoljaric, 708 S.W.2d at 434.

        Weaver & Jacobs fails to meet this burden. Although the Court may have found that Air

Jireh failed to perfonned the contract, there was no evidence presented that showed that Air

Jireh, through Sepulveda, submitted the bid with an intent to deceive and with no intention of

performing as represented. As a matter ofthe fact, the evidence states the contrary. Sepulveda

testified that he sent requests for submittals to M&M Metals, Mechanical Reps, and Professional

Air Balance. RR 78:2-16; 79:21-24. Additionally, Sepulveda informed Chris Brzozowski of

Weaver & Jacobs that Air Jireh would be willing to perfonn the work on this project, once the

two sides could agree as to the terms. RR 79:25-80:4. Not once, but twice did Sepulveda testify

of Appellants' intention to perfonn according to the bids submitted. It was not until August 15,

2015, wherein Sepulveda of Air Jireh refused to perfonn work on the project. RR 80:16-23.

Additionally, the testimony of Kristen Parisher and Javier Martinez corroborates the fact that

Sepulveda and Air Jireh intend to perfonn the work, but not without the proper understanding

between the parties. According to Kristen Parisher, there was a concern over liability ifthe

terms ofthe subcontract were not correct. RR 85:18-87:6

       Issue 7: The Trial Court erred in ruling that Sepulveda in the course and scope of his

employment, represented to Weaver & Jacobs that Air Jireh had twenty (20) years experience,

that Air Jireh had perfonned certain jobs, and that Air Jireh would perfonn the Work in

exchange for $125,971.00; that these representations were false; that Sepulveda, in the course

and scope of his employment, intended that Weaver & Jacobs to rely on said representations;

that Sepulveda failed to exercise reasonable care or competence in obtaining and communicating

the representations on behalf of Air Jireh.

L.P. v. Lebar, 391 F. Supp. 2d 472,476 (N.D. Tex. 2005); See Dallas Firefighters Ass'n v. Booth

Research Group, Inc., 156 S.W.3d 188, 194 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2005); Airborne Freight Corp. v.

CR. Lee Enters., 847 S.W.2d 289 (Tex.App.-EI Paso 1993, writ denied). A promise of future

performance constitutes an actionable misrepresentation if the promise was made with no

intention of performing at the time it was made. Schindler v. Austwell Farmers Coop., 841

S.W.2d 853,854 (Tex.1992).

        Again, for the reasons stated in the Argument & Authorities under Issue 6, there was no

evidence presented that showed that Sepulveda submitted the bid with an intent to deceive and

with no intention of performing as represented on behalf of Air Jireh. As a matter of the fact, the

evidence states the contrary. Additionally, there is no testimony to rebut the statements of J avier

Martinez that Air Jireh actually perfonned the jobs listed on the resume, that the resume was

incorrect, that the resume's recitation of Air Jireh's "most recent jobs" were false, or that Air

Jireh had been in business for over twenty (20) years.

        Issue 8: The Trial Court erred in awarding attorney fees to Weaver & Jacobs.

                                ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES


       As a general rule, the party seeking to recover attorney's fees carries the burden of proof.

See, e.g., Kimbrough v. Fox, 631 S.W.2d 606, 609 (Tex.App.-Fort          Worth 1982, no writ);



                                                  -15-
Corpus Christi Dev. Corp. v. Carlton, 644 S.W.2d 521,523 (Tex.App.-Corpus              Christi 1982, no

writ); Bavarian Autohaus, Inc. v. Holland, 570 S.W.2d 110,116 (Tex.Civ.App.-Houston               [1st

Dist.] 1978, no writ). The trial court may award those fees that are "reasonable and necessary"

for the prosecution of the suit. See, e.g., Green Tree Acceptance, Inc. v. Pierce, 768 S. W 2d 416,

425 (Tex.App.-Tyler     1989, no writ); Flint &Assoc. v. Intercontinental Pipe & Steel, Inc., 739

S. W2d 622, 624 (Tex.App.-Dallas       1987, writ denied); Rosas v. Bursey, 724 S. W2d 402,

410-11 (Tex.App.-Fort      Worth 1986, no writ); Graves v. Sommerfeld, 618 S. W2d 952, 954-55

(Tex.Civ.App.-Waco      1981, writ ref'd n.r.e.). It is Appellant's position that the fees in this case

are not reasonable and necessary as they are more than the actual judgment awarded.

Furthermore, attorney fees were granted based upon Section 38.001 of the Texas Civil Practice

and Remedies Code and Section 17.50 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. It is

appellant's position that Weaver & Jacobs is not entitled to any protections afforded to

consumers under the DTP A and thus the attorney fees must be segregated. Attorney's fees

attributable to separate causes of action must be segregated unless the claims arise from the same

transaction and are so interrelated that their prosecution or defense entails proof or denial of

essentially the same facts. Villasenor v. Villasenor, 911 S.W.2d 411, 420 (Tex. App. 1995). For

argument's sake, assuming that the separate causes of action alleged by Weaver & Jacobs arise

from the same transaction, they are not so interrelated that their prosecution or defense entails

proof or denial of essentially the same facts. A cause of action under the DTP A requires a party

to be a consumer, which is not required under Breach of Contract, nor Promissory Estoppel.

Thus, additional proof is required for a DTP A transaction than is required under breach of

contract and promissory estoppel. As a result of this segregation, an award of attorney's fees

erroneously based upon evidence of unsegregated fees requires a remand. Stewart Title Guar.

Co. v. Sterling, 822 S.W.2d 1, 11 (Tex. 1991)

         15.       Sepulveda concluded his June 26, 20 B, e-mail by thanking Weaver & Jacobs for the

"opportunity" and expressing that Air Jíreh "look] ed] forward to working for [Weaver & Jacobs] in

the near future."

         16.       After Weaver & Jacobs received and compiled all of the subcontractor offers for the

entire Project, it was necessary for Weaver & Jacobs to engage in value engineering to reduce the

Project's price.

         17.       On June 26, 2013, at2:29 p.m., Weaver&Jacohs sent Air Jireh an e-mail asking Air

Jireh to confirm that it had included in its Original Bid the Digital Controls at a price of "around

$25k,"

         18.       On June26, 2013, at2:56 p.m., Air Jireh sent Weaver &Jacobsane~mailconfirming

that the Digital Controls were included in its Original Bid at a price of $24,986,00.

         19.       As part of a comprehensive budget reduction plan, Weaver & Jacobs and TISD agreed

to replace the Digital Controls with less expensive wall-mounted thermostats (the "Thermostats").

         20.       On or about June 26, 2013, Weavér & Jacobs submitted its guaranteed maximum

price (the "'GMP") to TISD.

         21.   On July 7,2013, at 4:53 p.m., Weaver & Jacobs sent Air Jireh an e-mail informing

Air Jireh that Weaver & Jacobs was replacing the Digital Controls with the Thermostats.

         22.   On July 7,2013, at 6:40 p.m., Air Jireh sent Weaver & Jacobs an e-mail indicating

that the Original Bid included the Digital Controls at a price of$23,561.00 and three Thermostats at

a price of$475 each.

         23.   On July 9, 2013. Air Jireh submitted to Weaver & Jacobs a revised bid offer in the

amount of $132,670.00 (the "Revised Bid"). However, the Revised Bid's price did not properly

recognize the full deduction for substituting the Thermostats tor the Digital Controls.

        24.    Air Jireh agreed to submit a bid offer in the amount of$125,971.00 (the Original Bid

of$147,732.00 minus $23,561.00 for the Digital Controls plus $1,800.00 for the Thermostats).

       25.     Weaver & Jacobs informed Air Jireh that it would accept Air Jireh's $125,971.00

offer and would issue a subcontract in the amount of$125,971.00 to Air Jíreh to memorialize their

agreement.

       26.     On July 16.2013, Air Jireh sent Weaver & Jacobs an e-mail indicating that Air Jireh

had "revised [the] HVAC proposal with programmable t-stats in lieu of the controlsl.]"

       27.     Attached to Air Jireh' s July 16, 2013, e-mail was Air Jireh' s corrected bid offer (the

"Corrected Bid Offer"). which properly substituted the cost of the Digital Controls with the cost of

the Thermostats, but which was incorrectly dated "June 26,2013."

       28.     In the Corrected Bid Offer, Air Jireh offered to perform the Work in exchange for

amount of$125,971.00.

       29.     Air Jireh's July 16, 2013, e-mall concluding by thanking Weaver & Jacobs for "the

opportunity" and stating that Air Jireh "lookjed] forward to working for [Weaver & Jacobs]."

       30.     Weaver & Jacobs accepted the Corrected Bid Offer.

       31.     On July 23, 2013, Weaver & Jacobs sent Air Jireh a subcontract in the amount of

$125,971.00 (the "Subcontract"), which communicated Weaver & Jacobs' acceptance of the

Corrected Bid Offer.

       32.     The following provision was included in the Subcontract on page six:

"EXCLUSIONS: Per quote dated 6/26/13."

       33.     On August 5, 2013, Weaver & Jacobs sent an e-mail to all of the Project's

subcontractors, including Air Jireh, which stated that each recipient had recently contracted with

Weaver & Jacobs.

         34.   In its August 5, 2013, e-mail, Weaver& Jacobs asked Air Jireh to provide submittals

or shop drawings to Weaver & Jacobs by August 19, 2013, for the materials and equipment it would

be furnishing to the Project (the "Request for Submittals"), again communicating Weaver & Jacobs'

acceptance of the Corrected Bid Offer.

         35.   On or about August 10,2013, after not receiving a response to the August 5, 2013,

request for submittals. Chris Brzozowski ("Brzozowski"), Weaver & Jacobs' project manager,

contacted Air Jíreh via telephone to seek assurances that Air Jíreh still planned to perform the Work.

During the telephone conversation, Sepulveda represented to Weaver & Jacobs that Air Jireh would

perfonn the Work.

         36.   On or about August 15, 2013, Brzozowski again contacted Air Jíreh via telephone and

spoke with Sepulveda. During that telephone conversation, Sepulveda represented that Air Jireh

would neither execute the Subcontract nor perform the Work as it had promised in the Corrected Bid

Offer.

         37.   Weaver & Jacobs was forced to enter into a subcontract with a third party to perform

the Work for the amount of$142,347.00, which was $16,556.00 more than the amount agreed to by

Air Jireh in the Corrected Bid Offer for the performance of the Work.

         38.   On or about January 23,2013, HVAC Plumbing Specialist Inc filed with the Bexar

County Clerk an assumed name certificate whereby HVAC Plumbing Specialist Inc would conduct

business as "Air Jíreh Service" (tbe "Assumed Name Certificate"). In the Assumed Name

Certificate, the address for HVAC Plumbing Specialist Inc is listed as "5122 Leon Hardt, San

                                      II. CONCLUSIONS    OF LAW

          39.   A valid, enforceable contract was formed between Weaver & Jacobs and Air Jireh

after Weaver & Jacobs accepted Air Jireh's Corrected Bid Offer to perform the Work in exchange

for the sum of$125,791.00. Air Jíreh breached its contract with Weaver & Jacobs by refusing to

perform the Work. Air Jireh' s breach of contract caused injury to Weaver & Jacobs in the amount of

$16,556.00. Air Jireh failed to establish by a preponderance orthe evidence that it has any valid

excuse or defense to liability for its material breach of its contractual obligations to Weaver &

Jacobs.

          40.   Air Jireh's Corrected Bid Offer in the amount of$125,971.00 represented Air Jireh's

enforceable promise to perform the Work in exchange for that amount. Air Jireh reasonably foresaw

that Weaver & Jacobs would act in reliance on the promise, and Weaver & Jacobs did, in fact, rely

on the promise to its detriment in calculating the GMP for the Project As a direct and proximate

result of Air Jíreh's refusal to perform the Work as promised, Weaver & Jacobs was damaged in the

amount of$16.556.00. Air Jireh failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that it has any

valid excuse or defense to liability for its failure to fulfill its promise to perform the Work.

          41.   Weaver & Jacobs is a consumer under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Tex.

Bus. & Com. Code § 17.41 et seq. (the "DTP A"), because it is a corporation that sought to purchase

from Air Jireh goods and services needed to perform the Work on the Project. Weaver & Jacobs is

thus entitled to all protections afforded to consumers under the DTP A. Air Jireh can be sued under

the DTP A because it sells and installs HVAC systems and provides service for existing systems. By

offering to perform the Work on the Proj eet in exchange for the sum of $125,971.00, and then orally

repudiating its proposal, Air Jireh engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive acts in the conduct of

its trade and in violation of Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.46(a). Air Jireh's conduct constitutes false,

                                                                                                      356
misleading, and deceptive acts and practices included in the "laundry list" ofDTPA violations. Such

"laundry list" violations include (1) advertising goods or services with the intent not to sell them as

advertised and (2) representing that an agreement confers or involves rights, remedies, or obligations

that it does not. Weaver & Jacobs relied on Air Jireh's false, misleading, and deceptive acts to its

detriment by using Air Jireh's proposal to compute its GMP for the Project. Air Jireh's conduct

forced Weaver & Jacobs to contract with another subcontractor at a substantially higher contract

price than that which was promised by Air Jireh, Air Jireh is the producing cause of Weaver &

Jacobs' damages in the amount of$16,5 56.00. Air Jireh failed to establish by a preponderance of the

evidence that it has any valid excuse or defense to liability for its false, misleading, and deceptive

acts.

        42.    Sepulveda included with Air Jíreh's Original Bid offer a copy Air Jíreh's résumé.

The résumé contained several false representations, including the assertion that Air Jíreh had been

doing business in the San Antonio area for the past 20 years and a recitation of certain "most recent

jobs." Sepulveda also submitted the Corrected Bid Offer to Weaver & Jacobs, in which he

represented that Air Jíreh would perform the Work in exchange for the sum of$125,971.00. Further,

on or about August 10, 2013, Sepulveda represented to Weaver & Jacobs that Air Jíreh would

perform the Work as promised in the Corrected Bid Offer. These representations were material in

that Weaver & Jacobs relied on the representations to make its decision to accept Air Jireh's bid

offer and would not have done so absent the representations. These representations were false.

Sepulveda made these representations with knowledge of their falsity or recklessly, as positive

assertions, without knowledge of their truth. Weaver & Jacobs relied on Sepulveda's false

representations in calculating its GMP and, after Air Jireh refused to perform the Work, Weaver &

Jacobs was forced to subcontract with a third party to perform the Work, resulting in damages to

 Weaver& Jacobs in the amount of$16,556.00. Sepulveda failed to establish by a preponderance of

 the evidence that he has any valid excuse or defense to liability for his fraudulent representations to

Weaver & Jacobs.

        43.     Sepulveda represented to Weaver & Jacobs that Air Jireh had 20 years' experience

doing business in the San Antonio area, that Ail'Jireh had performed certain recent jobs, and that Air

Jireh would perform the Work in exchange for $125,971.00. These representations were false, and

Sepulveda intended that Weaver & Jacobs rely on the representations. Sepulveda failed to exercise

reasonable care or competence in obtaining and communicating these representations. Sepulveda

intended that Weaver & Jacobs use these representations as guidance. Weaver & Jacobs reasonably

and justifiably relied on Sepulveda's false representations to its detriment, resulting in damages to

Weaver & Jacobs in the amount of $16,556.00. Sepulveda failed to establish by a preponderance of

the evidence that he has any valid excuse or defense to liability for his negligent misrepresentations

to Weaver & Jacobs.

        44.    All conditions precedent to Weaver & Jacobs' entitlement to recovery have been

performed. have occurred, or have been excused.

       45.     Weaver & Jacobs has established by a preponderance of the evidence that the

damages it incurred were reasonable and necessary to perform the Work after Air Jireh refused to

execute the Subcontract or perform the Work. Weaver & Jacobs is entitled to recover from Air Jireh

and Sepulveda, jointly and severally) damages in the amount of $16,556.00.

       46.     Based on the acts and/or omissions of Air Jireh, Weaver & Jacobs is entitled, pursuant

to Section 38.001 et seq. of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Section 17.50(d) of the

Texas Business and Commerce Code, and all other applicable laws, to recover from the Air Jireh its
