I.       Mikkelsen’s Prior Involvement at Herring Bancorp. ...................................... 1

Summary of the Argument....................................................................................... 11
Standards of Review ................................................................................................ 14
Argument.................................................................................................................. 16
I.       Defendants Are Entitled to Judgment on Mikkelsen’s
         Minority-Oppression Claims. ........................................................................ 16
         A.        Ritchie v. Rupe Held That Minority Oppression Is Not a Viable
                   Cause of Action Under Texas Law. .................................................... 17
         B.        The Trial Court Erred in Concluding That the Relevant Holding
                   in Ritchie v. Rupe Was Dicta. ............................................................. 18
         C.        Alternatively, the Evidence at Trial Was Not Legally or
                   Factually Sufficient to Constitute Minority Oppression. .................... 20
II.      Mikkelsen Cannot Recover on His Breach of Contract Claim or on His
         Declaratory Judgment Claim, and Defendants Should Prevail on Their
         Declaratory Judgment Claim. ........................................................................ 22
         A.        The 2006 Redemption Was Valid. ...................................................... 22


                                                             ii
         B.       Defendants Are Entitled to Prevail on Their Declaratory
                  Judgment Claim Because the 2013 Redemption and Tender
                  Were Valid. ......................................................................................... 26
         C.       Regardless of the Validity of the Two Redemptions, Mikkelsen
                  Cannot Show Any Damages Resulting from Defendants’
                  Actions................................................................................................. 37
         D.       Even Assuming a Breach, Mikkelsen Is Not Entitled to Remain a
                  Shareholder in Perpetuity; He Only Is Entitled to the Par Value
                  of His Preferred Shares Plus Unpaid Dividends. ................................ 38
III.     Defendants Are Entitled to Judgment on Mikkelsen’s Breach of
         Fiduciary Duty Claim Against C.C. Burgess for an Additional Reason
         Than the One Found by the Jury. .................................................................. 39
         A.       C.C. Burgess Owes No Fiduciary Duties to Mikkelsen Under
                  Texas Law. .......................................................................................... 40
         B.       Alternatively, the Evidence Was Not Legally or Factually
                  Sufficient to Show That C.C. Burgess Violated Any Purported
                  Fiduciary Duties. ................................................................................. 42
IV.      The $127,442 Fee Award Should Be Reversed. ........................................... 43
         A.       Because Mikkelsen Cannot Prevail on His Breach of Contract
                  Claim, He Is Not Entitled to an Attorneys’ Fee Award. ..................... 43
         B.       Alternatively, if Mikkelsen Is Entitled to Some of His Fees, the
                  $127,442 Award Cannot Stand Because It Is Unsupported and
                  Because Mikkelsen Did Not Segregate His Attorneys’ Fees
                  Properly. .............................................................................................. 44
         C.       Defendants Are Entitled to Their Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees
                  Spent Pursuing Their Declaratory Judgment Claim. .......................... 47
V.       To the Extent the Court Does Not Render Judgment in Favor of
         Defendants, a New Trial Also Is Warranted Because the Trial Court
         Impermissibly Commented on the Weight of the Evidence When It
         Instructed the Jury That Herring Bancorp Had Breached its Articles of
         Incorporation as a Matter of Law. ................................................................. 48

                           STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Nature of the Case This dispute raises the issue of whether Herring Bancorp, Inc.
                   (“Herring Bancorp”), as part of its conversion into a
                   Subchapter “S” Corporation, properly redeemed the small
                   number of Herring Bancorp preferred shares that John
                   Mikkelsen (and his brother, Mallory) inherited. This dispute
                   also raises questions about (1) whether minority oppression is
                   a valid cause of action following the Texas Supreme Court’s
                   decision in Ritchie v. Rupe, 443 S.W.3d 856 (Tex. 2014), and
                   (2) whether C.C. Burgess, as an officer, director, and majority
                   shareholder of Herring Bancorp, owed any fiduciary duties to
                   Mikkelsen, as a minority shareholder.

                     In 2011, the trial court granted Mikkelsen’s motion for partial
                     summary judgment on his breach of contract claim, holding
                     that the 2006 redemption of Mikkelsen’s shares was invalid.
                     In light of that ruling, Defendants again redeemed
                     Mikkelsen’s preferred shares in 2013 by giving him a tender
                     (in the form of a cashier’s check) for more than he was owed
                     under the Articles of Incorporation.

                     In 2015, after a three-day jury trial, the trial court entered
                     Final Judgment, which (1) held that Herring Bancorp
                     breached its Articles of Incorporation in redeeming
                     Mikkelsen’s preferred shares; (2) declared that the 2006
                     redemption and subsequent 2013 redemption were void as to
                     Mikkelsen and that Mikkelsen remains a preferred
                     shareholder of Herring Bancorp with the right to inspect its
                     books and records; and (3) held that C.C. Burgess and C.
                     Campbell Burgess (“Burgess Defendants”) engaged in
                     oppressive conduct toward Mikkelsen. The Final Judgment
                     awarded Mikkelsen $23,112.00 in compensatory damages
                     (representing the par value and unpaid dividends on his
                     preferred shares from October 31, 2006 to December 31,
                     2014), $5,222.25 in prejudgment interest, $127,442.00 in
                     attorneys’ fees through trial, conditional appellate attorneys’
                     fees, costs, and postjudgment interest. Ex. 1.

                    STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
      Defendants respectfully request that the Court hold oral argument. This

appeal presents an important question about the effect of Ritchie v. Rupe on

minority-oppression claims. It also presents novel questions about whether a

preferred shareholder can hold his shares in perpetuity—based on the allegation that

a prior redemption was ineffective as to him—even though the Articles of

Incorporation permit the Corporation to purchase and/or redeem preferred shares at

any time and even though a shareholder is only entitled to receive the par value of his

shares plus any unpaid dividends.

      Defendants believe that oral argument will aid the Court in understanding

these complex issues and the factual record.




                                          xii
                                 ISSUES PRESENTED
      1.     In 2014, the Texas Supreme Court held that no common-law cause of

action for minority oppression exists under Texas law. See Ritchie v. Rupe, 443

S.W.3d 856 (Tex. 2014). In light of Ritchie, did the trial court err by not granting

judgment as a matter of law in favor of Defendants on the minority oppression

claims, and alternatively, does legally and/or factually sufficient evidence support

the jury’s findings on Mikkelsen’s minority-oppression claims?

      2.     Did the trial court err by concluding, as a matter of law, that the 2006

redemption violated the Articles of Incorporation as to Mikkelsen because it was not

done “by lot, or pro rata” when undisputed evidence shows that all outstanding

preferred shares were redeemed on November 20, 2006, meaning that the “by lot, or

pro rata” language—which only applies to partial redemptions—is inapplicable?

      3.     Were Defendants entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the breach

of contract claim relating to the 2006 redemption, or alternatively, did the trial court

err in denying Defendants’ motion for a new trial on this claim?

      4.     Did the trial court err by holding, as a matter of law and/or fact, that the

2013 redemption and tender were invalid when (a) there is no dispute that the

Mikkelsens were the only remaining shareholders in 2013 (assuming the 2006

redemption was invalid as to them), and (b) the tender more than covered any

amounts due under the Articles of Incorporation?


                                          xiii
      5.     Were Defendants entitled to judgment as a matter of law on their

declaratory judgment claim relating to the 2013 redemption and tender, or

alternatively, did the trial court err in failing to submit these issues for the jury to

decide, thus warranting a new trial?

      6.     The jury found “$0.00” damages proximately caused by any breach of

fiduciary duty and denied relief on Mikkelsen’s breach of fiduciary duty claims.

Given that officers, directors, and majority shareholders of a corporation do not owe

fiduciary duties to other shareholders under Texas law, did the trial court further err

by not granting judgment as a matter of law in favor of Defendants on the breach of

fiduciary duty claims, and alternatively, does legally and/or factually sufficient

evidence support the jury’s finding that C.C. Burgess breached his alleged fiduciary

duties to Mikkelsen?

      7.     Can the fee awards be upheld on legal/factual sufficiency review where

(a) the trial evidence showed that, to the extent Mikkelsen is entitled to any

attorneys’ fees, they are limited to at most $39,545.87, (b) Mikkelsen failed to

segregate his fees properly, and (c) the trial court did not ask the jury whether

Defendants were entitled to attorneys’ fees based on their declaratory judgment

claim?

      8.     Should this Court render a fee award in favor of Defendants based on

their declaratory judgment claim because undisputed trial evidence showed that


                                          xiv
Defendants incurred $5,500 in reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees pursuing

that claim through trial plus $12,500 in conditional appellate fees? Alternatively,

are Defendants entitled to a new trial on their request for attorneys’ fees?

      9.     Even though the trial focused on whether Herring Bancorp breached its

Articles of Incorporation, the trial court instructed the jury that the 2006 redemption

breached the Articles of Incorporation as a matter of law. Is this instruction an

impermissible comment on the weight of the evidence that further requires a new

trial to the extent there are any remaining fact issues for the trial court to resolve?

                              STATEMENT OF FACTS

I.    Mikkelsen’s Prior Involvement at Herring Bancorp.
      Herring National Bank became a chartered bank in 1903. 8RR 22:22-25.

Mikkelsen became Chairman of Herring National Bank in 1982 and served in that

position until 1997. 8RR 22:10-15. About ten years before Mikkelsen became

Chairman, C.C. Burgess purchased stock in Herring National Bank and was elected

to its Board shortly thereafter. 8RR 26:13-27:8. In 1984, Herring Bancorp, Inc.

(“Herring Bancorp”), a bank holding company for Herring National Bank, was

formed. 8RR 22:16-21. Mikkelsen served as Chairman of Herring Bancorp from its

formation in 1984 until 1992. 8RR 27:21-24.

      In 1992, Herring Bancorp held a special shareholder meeting, and the Burgess

Defendants were elected as directors, such that control of Herring Bancorp and

Herring National Bank shifted away from Mikkelsen and in favor of the Burgess

Defendants. See 8RR 33:7-22. Afterwards, Mikkelsen participated in a lawsuit

against the Burgess Defendants. That lawsuit resulted in a settlement through which

the Burgess Defendants purchased 10,000 Herring Bancorp shares from Mikkelsen

and his family. 8RR 35:10-22. Mikkelsen then sold his remaining 280 Herring

Bancorp shares in January 1998. 8RR 35:23-36:9. As of January 1998, Mikkelsen

owned no shares in Herring Bancorp and “was completely out of the bank.” 8RR

36:10-37:3.



                                        1
       In 2005, Mikkelsen and his brother, Mallory, inherited a total of 300 Herring

Bancorp preferred shares from their late mother. 8RR 46:9-47:5. Of those 300

shares, 150 shares were issued to the John Mikkelsen Trust and 150 shares were

issued to Mallory Mikkelsen. 8RR 47:16-48:17; 12RR, PX-4; 12RR, PX-5.1

II.    The 2006 Conversion and Redemption.
       The year after Mikkelsen inherited this small number of preferred shares from

his late mother, Herring Bancorp decided to convert into a Subchapter “S”

Corporation. See, e.g., 12RR, PX-34 at 3. As relevant here, a Subchapter “S”

Corporation is different from a traditional corporation because a Subchapter “S”

Corporation (1) can have only one class of stock, (2) cannot have more than 100

shareholders, and (3) avoids double taxation of dividends. See 8RR 56:7-24,

61:18-24; 9RR 29:24-30:5; 13RR, DX-10. Mikkelsen has never questioned the

Herring Bancorp Board’s business judgment to convert into a Subchapter “S”

Corporation, and testified during trial that being a Subchapter “S” Corporation

offers a “better, more effective utilization of the income of the corporation.” 8RR

56:23-24.

1
  In 2008, after the 2006 redemption, Mallory Mikkelsen purportedly assigned his 150 shares to
the John Mikkelsen Trust. See 8RR 48:21-49:23; 12RR, PX-6. This purported assignment was not
effective (or otherwise is irrelevant) for at least three reasons. First, this assignment was not
effective because it was not done in accordance with Herring Bancorp’s Bylaws regarding the
transfer or assignment of shares. See infra Section II.B.2. Second, given that the 2006 redemption
was valid, these shares no longer were Mallory Mikkelsen’s to assign in 2008. Third, because the
2013 tender more than compensated both John and Mallory Mikkelsen for the value of their
preferred shares, the tender was effective. See infra Section II.B.2.


                                                2
       Because Subchapter “S” Corporations are limited to 100 shareholders, the

Herring Bancorp Board decided to implement neutral criteria to restrict which

preferred shares could be converted into common stock so the number of

shareholders would not exceed the maximum 100-shareholder cap. These criteria

were implemented to ensure that Herring Bancorp would preserve its ability to

attract new investment and shareholders in the future. See 9RR 29:10-30:5

(testifying that the purpose of these criteria was to ensure that, as the Bank grew, it

would be able to attract new shareholders without sacrificing its Subchapter “S”

status). The two neutral criteria selected by the Herring Bancorp Board were that the

preferred shareholder: (1) had a banking relationship with Herring Bank; and (2)

would own at least 50 shares of common stock in the Subchapter “S” Corporation

after the conversion.2 Ex. 6 at 1. If preferred shareholders met these two criteria,

they had the opportunity to exchange their preferred shares for common stock in the

new Subchapter “S” Corporation. Id. If preferred shareholders did not satisfy these

criteria, their shares were redeemed on November 20, 2006. Id. All preferred

shareholders were given notice of these criteria and notice of both the conversion

and redemption deadlines on October 31, 2006. Ex. 6; 13RR, DX-20.


2
  The conversion ratio for converting preferred shares into common stock was approximately 7.8
to 1, meaning that a preferred shareholder was required to have about 390 preferred shares to be
eligible to convert those shares into common stock. See 8RR 65:23-66:22. As noted, Mikkelsen
only inherited 150 preferred shares, as did his brother. Mikkelsen and his brother thus did not
satisfy the 50-share criterion for conversion.


                                               3
       Between the October 31, 2006 notice and the November 20, 2006 redemption,

preferred shareholders that met the criteria and wanted to convert their preferred

shares into common stock had to make that election. See 13RR, DX-20 at 3 (“If you

elect to exchange your shares of Preferred Stock of the Company, please return an

executed copy of the Stock Exchange Agreement as soon as possible, but no later

than 5:00 p.m. on November 20, 2006.”) (emphasis omitted). No shareholder (other

than Mikkelsen) complained about this process, and all preferred shares not

exchanged for common stock (i.e., all outstanding preferred shares as of November

20, 2006) were redeemed on that date. Id. at 3-4.

       On November 20, 2006, Herring Bancorp redeemed Mikkelsen’s preferred

shares by placing sufficient funds to cover the par value of his shares and any unpaid

dividends in an escrow/deposit account in Mikkelsen’s name.3 13RR, DX-26 at 2.

On July 30, 2007, Herring Bancorp’s status as a Subchapter “S” Corporation was

accepted by the IRS. Ex. 7.

III.   The 2013 Redemption and Tender.
       Mikkelsen claimed that the 2006 redemption was invalid and that he

continued to be a preferred shareholder in Herring Bancorp. See 13RR, DX-26 at 1.




3
 This same procedure was followed for Mallory Mikkelsen and any other preferred shareholders
who elected not to convert their preferred shares into common stock.


                                             4
Specifically, Mikkelsen asserted that, even though Herring Bancorp’s Articles of

Incorporation allow the Corporation to redeem and/or repurchase preferred shares at

any time, see Ex. 5, art. IV, XII, the redemption was invalid because it was not done

“by lot, or pro rata,” Ex. 5, art. IV(c). Because only partial redemptions are subject to

the “by lot, or pro rata” restriction, Mikkelsen’s argument necessarily (and

incorrectly) assumes that the 2006 redemption was a partial redemption. Ex. 5, art.

IV(c). Mikkelsen ignores that, on November 20, 2006, Herring Bancorp completed a

“whole” redemption because it redeemed all outstanding preferred shares on that

date. See supra Facts Section II.

      Ultimately, Mikkelsen filed this lawsuit in 2008, alleging a breach of contract

claim, tort claims for breach of fiduciary duty, minority oppression, and conspiracy,

and a demand to inspect Herring Bancorp’s books and records. 1CR5-13. In 2011,

the trial court—apparently accepting Mikkelsen’s incorrect argument about the

2006 redemption being a “partial” redemption—granted Mikkelsen’s partial

summary judgment motion, finding that the 2006 redemption as to Mikkelsen was

invalid as a matter of law. Ex. 4.

      After that ruling, Defendants sought to remove any doubt about Mikkelsen’s

purported ownership of Herring Bancorp’s preferred stock, especially considering

that a Subchapter “S” Corporation can have only one type of outstanding stock. See

1CR344 (“The Herring Board’s decision to redeem the Preferred Stock in 2013 was


                                           5
consistent with the Board’s decision in 2006 but also sought to correct any issues

that led to this Court’s August 4, 2011 Order on partial summary judgment, and pay

the Mikkelsens everything they could be owed.”). Accordingly, in 2013, Defendants

sent the Mikkelsens a tender—in the form of a cashier’s check—for $115,548.24, an

amount greater than the Mikkelsens were owed under Herring Bancorp’s Articles of

Incorporation. Compare Ex. 9 (unconditional tender included $28,500 for

redeeming 300 shares at $95 per share (par value), $21,070.48 in unpaid dividends,

$15,977.76 in interest, and $50,000 in attorneys’ fees), with Ex. 5, art. IV (stating

that a preferred shareholder is only entitled to the $95 par value per share plus

dividends).

      Despite receiving a larger payment than he was entitled to under the Articles

of Incorporation, Mikkelsen pressed forward with this lawsuit and never cashed the

cashier’s check. See 8RR 137:4-5. And while Mikkelsen claimed that the 2006

redemption was invalid because it was a partial redemption that was not done “by

lot, or pro rata,” Mikkelsen concedes that, when the 2013 redemption took place, the

Mikkelsens were the only preferred shareholders of Herring Bancorp. See 8RR

151:2-5 (“So after the 2006 adventure that you and Herring Bank had, you and

Mallory [Mikkelsen] were the only shareholders of preferred stock, right? A. Yes.”);

see also infra Section II.B.1. The 2013 redemption thus was a “whole” redemption

not subject to the “by lot, or pro rata” requirement, which means that—even


                                         6
assuming that the 2006 redemption was invalid—the 2013 redemption complied

with the Articles of Incorporation and redeemed Mikkelsen’s preferred shares such

that he no longer is a preferred shareholder in Herring Bancorp.

IV.   Pre-Trial Proceedings/Partial Summary Judgment for Mikkelsen.
      As noted, Mikkelsen originally filed this action in 2008, claiming that the

2006 redemption breached his contractual rights under the Articles of Incorporation

and constituted (1) a breach of the Burgess Defendants’ fiduciary duties, (2)

minority oppression, and (3) a civil conspiracy. 1CR5-13. In March 2011,

Mikkelsen moved for partial summary judgment as to whether the 2006 redemption

was valid. 1CR58-103. Defendants responded to that motion and filed a

cross-motion for partial summary judgment on all of Mikkelsen’s claims.

1CR105-45. On August 4, 2011, the trial court granted Mikkelsen’s motion for

partial summary judgment and denied Defendants’ cross-motion. Ex. 4. In deciding

the cross-motions for summary judgment, the trial court found as a matter of law that

the 2006 redemption was invalid as to Mikkelsen and that Mikkelsen continued to be

a preferred shareholder in Herring Bancorp. 1CR307.

      In December 2013, after Herring Bancorp had undertaken the 2013

redemption and tendered to Mikkelsen more than he was owed under the Articles of

Incorporation, see supra Facts Section III, Defendants filed their Original

Counterclaim, seeking a declaratory judgment that the 2013 redemption was valid,


                                         7
1CR389-92. Defendants also filed a second traditional motion for partial summary

judgment on their newly asserted counterclaim, 1CR338-81, as well as a

no-evidence summary judgment motion on causation and damages, 1CR382-85.

The Court denied both of Defendants’ summary judgment motions on August 1,

2014. 1CR432-35.

      In September 2014, Defendants filed their third traditional motion for partial

summary judgment. 2Supp.CR3-8. This motion was based largely on the Texas

Supreme Court’s decision in Ritchie v. Rupe, and sought summary judgment on

Mikkelsen’s minority oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, and conspiracy tort

claims. The trial court denied that motion on December 23, 2014. 2CR148-49.

      Finally, less than two weeks before trial began in January 2015, Mikkelsen

added a cross-declaratory judgment claim related to the validity of the 2013

redemption and tender. 2CR158.

V.    The Trial.
      The case was tried to a jury beginning on January 26, 2015. During three days

of testimony, the jury heard argument and evidence about whether the 2006 and

2013 redemptions were valid. See, e.g., 8RR 151:15-22; 8RR 156:21-157:2; 10RR

37:1-25. Indeed, Mikkelsen’s counsel began his opening and closing statements by

claiming that “this case is about the breach of a covenant” in the Articles of




                                         8
Incorporation and by asserting that “the evidence” showed that a covenant had been

breached. 7RR 16:12-14; 11RR 32:23-33:17.

      But when the jury received its instructions, instead of being asked to decide

whether the redemptions were valid, the trial court: (1) instructed the jury that it

“previously determined, as a matter of law, that Defendant Herring failed to comply

with the Articles of Incorporation . . . when it purported to involuntarily redeem

Mikkelsen’s preferred shares in 2006”; and (2) did not ask the jury to decide whether

the 2013 redemption was valid. See Ex. 2. Thus, even though Mikkelsen’s attorney

had previewed the case as being “about the breach of a covenant” and asserted that

“the evidence” showed that such a breach occurred, the only question the jury was

instructed to answer related to Mikkelsen’s breach of contract claim was the amount

of attorneys’ fees associated with that claim. Ex. 2 at 8-9. The only other questions

the jury was instructed to answer related to Mikkelsen’s tort claims. See Ex. 2 at

10-30.

      Ultimately, the jury awarded Mikkelsen $23,314.80 in compensatory

damages based on its findings that the Burgess Defendants engaged in oppressive

conduct, and it awarded Mikkelsen $127,442.00 in attorneys’ fees through trial plus

$50,000.00 in conditional appellate fees based on Mikkelsen’s breach of contract

claim that had been determined as a matter of law almost four years earlier. See Ex. 2

at 8-12.

VI.   The Final Judgment and Post-Judgment Proceedings.
      After the jury verdict, Defendants filed a Motion for Judgment

Notwithstanding the Verdict, Motion to Disregard Jury Findings, and Conditional

Motion for Judgment. 2CR268-91. Mikkelsen then filed a Motion for Judgment, and

the trial court heard argument on those motions on April 27, 2015. 2CR292-332.

      On May 14, 2015, the trial court granted Mikkelsen’s Motion for Judgment in

all respects, except that it slightly adjusted the damages award given that a portion of

the calculated unpaid dividend amount was “not yet due.” 2CR333. The trial court

entered Final Judgment on June 16, 2015. Ex. 1.

      On July 16, 2015, Defendants timely filed: (1) an Additional Motion for

Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, see 2CR344-52, and (2) a Motion for New

Trial, for Remittitur, and to Modify, Correct, and/or Reform the Judgment, see

2CR353-407. The Court denied these motions, as well as Defendants’ previously

filed Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, by Orders signed on August

19, 2015 after hearing argument. Ex. 3.

      Defendants timely filed a Joint Notice of Appeal on September 3, 2015.

2CR411-61. Mikkelsen timely filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal on September 17,

2015. See 2CR468-517.




                                          10
                               SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
       This lawsuit is the most recent instance where Mikkelsen has attempted to use

his purported shareholder status in Herring Bancorp to extract money and other

concessions from the Burgess Defendants. Mikkelsen sold his interest in Herring

Bancorp to the Burgess Defendants almost 20 years ago and only became involved

with Herring Bancorp again by inheriting a handful of shares from his late mother.

Through this lawsuit, Mikkelsen is attempting to use his purported shareholder

status to call into question Herring Bancorp’s Subchapter “S” Corporation status and

otherwise to disrupt the Burgess Defendants’ ability to run the Corporation

efficiently. The Court should reject Mikkelsen’s thinly veiled efforts because

Herring Bancorp validly redeemed Mikkelsen’s shares in 2006 (and again in 20134),

and because Mikkelsen’s tort claims are based on invalid legal theories. Moreover,

Mikkelsen’s claim that he is entitled to hold preferred shares in Herring Bancorp in

perpetuity is wrong because Mikkelsen only is entitled to the par value of his

preferred shares plus any unpaid dividends, which he already received both in 2006

and 2013.

       All of Mikkelsen’s tort claims should have been dismissed before trial as a

matter of law, and the trial court misapprehended binding precedent in allowing


4
  Out of an abundance of caution, Defendants redeemed Mikkelsen’s shares again in 2013 because
the trial court held, incorrectly, that the 2006 redemption was invalid as to Mikkelsen as a matter of
law. See supra Facts Section III.


                                                 11
Mikkelsen’s minority oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, and conspiracy claims to

reach the jury. Texas does not recognize a common-law cause of action for minority

oppression. Moreover, corporate officers/directors only owe fiduciary duties to the

corporation itself, and majority shareholders do not owe fiduciary duties to minority

shareholders.5 The trial court should have dismissed these claims and, if it had done

so, the only claims left for the jury would have been the cross-declaratory judgment

claims regarding the 2013 redemption.6 See 1CR390; 2CR158.

       On the breach of contract and declaratory judgment claims, under Herring

Bancorp’s Articles of Incorporation, Herring Bancorp had the absolute right to

redeem all of its preferred shares at any time, and it also had the absolute right to

purchase its shares “without submitting such purchase to a vote of the shareholders

of the Corporation.” Ex. 5, art. IV, XII. On two occasions—first in 2006 and then in

2013—Herring Bancorp redeemed all outstanding preferred shares, including

Mikkelsen’s, and both of these redemptions complied with the Articles of

Incorporation. The trial court held, however, that the 2006 redemption was invalid as

to Mikkelsen and—while it denied Defendants’ summary judgment motion on the



5
 The jury found that C.C. Burgess breached his alleged fiduciary duties to Mikkelsen, but
awarded no damages. Ex. 2 at 17, 19-22. The Final Judgment addresses this claim only by denying
Mikkelsen relief in the “Mother Hubbard” clause. Ex. 1.
6
 If the substantive tort claims had been dismissed before trial, the derivative conspiracy claim
necessarily would have been dismissed as well. See Tilton v. Marshall, 925 S.W.2d 672, 681 (Tex.
1996).


                                              12
validity of the 2013 redemption and tender—it refused to ask the jury about that

redemption and tender. Ex. 10; 11RR 16:20-17:8. Rather, the trial court held, as a

matter of law and/or fact, that the 2013 redemption and tender were also invalid. Ex.

1 at 2. The trial court should have determined that the 2006 redemption was valid, or

alternatively, that the 2013 redemption was valid. At the very least, it should have

submitted these questions to the jury.

      All of Mikkelsen’s claims should have been decided as a matter of law in

Defendants’ favor. The 2006 redemption was valid, and all of Mikkelsen’s tort

claims fail as a matter of law. Alternatively, to the extent the 2006 redemption was

invalid as to Mikkelsen, the trial court should have held, as a matter of law, that the

2013 redemption and tender were valid and that they compensated Mikkelsen for all

amounts owed under the Articles of Incorporation. While all of these claims should

have been decided as a matter of law, the trial court’s failure to follow binding

precedent led to a confusing trial where evidence relating to Mikkelsen’s breach of

contract claim (which the trial court already had decided, albeit wrongly) was

presented, giving the jury the false impression that it would decide that disputed

issue. Then, in instructing the jury, the trial court committed reversible error by

commenting on the weight of the evidence and telling the jury that it already had

decided that Defendants breached Herring Bancorp’s Articles of Incorporation in




                                          13
2006. This improper instruction was prejudicial and also requires a new trial to the

extent the Court does not render judgment in favor of Defendants.

      To the extent the Court does not reverse the trial court’s finding on the 2006

redemption, it must reverse the attorneys’ fee award and remand for a new trial on

attorneys’ fees. If the Court reverses the trial court’s holding on the 2013 redemption

and renders judgment for Defendants on that claim, the Court should also render

judgment on Defendants’ claim for attorneys’ fees or at least grant a new trial on

Defendants’ fee request.

      Finally, if the Final Judgment is reversed, the awards of interest and costs in

favor of Mikkelsen should be reversed as well.

                              STANDARDS OF REVIEW
      Texas appellate courts review questions of law de novo, “exercis[ing] [their]

own judgment and redetermin[ing] each issue,” while affording the lower courts’

decisions “absolutely no deference.” Quick v. City of Austin, 7 S.W.3d 109, 116

(Tex. 1998). When reviewing questions of law, an appellate court independently

evaluates the trial court’s conclusions of law to determine whether the trial court

drew the correct legal conclusions from the facts. See Arcadia Fin., Ltd. v. Sw.-Tex.

Leasing Co., 78 S.W.3d 619, 623 (Tex. App.—Austin 2002, pet. denied); see also

Holland v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 1 S.W.3d 91, 94 (Tex. 1999).




                                          14
      Appellate courts must sustain legal sufficiency challenges when the record

shows one of the following: (1) a complete absence of evidence of a vital fact; (2)

that rules of law or evidence bar the court from giving weight to the only evidence

offered to prove a vital fact; (3) that the evidence offered to prove a vital fact is no

more than a scintilla; or (4) that the evidence establishes conclusively the opposite of

the vital fact. City of Keller v. Wilson, 168 S.W.3d 802, 810 (Tex. 2005). For factual

sufficiency challenges, appellate courts must examine, consider, and weigh all of the

evidence that supports or contradicts the jury’s determinations, and set aside the

verdict if the evidence is so weak or the finding is so against the great weight and

preponderance of the evidence that it is clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. See Dow

Chem. Co. v. Francis, 46 S.W.3d 237, 242 (Tex. 2001); Pool v. Ford Motor Co., 715

S.W.2d 629, 635 (Tex. 1986).

      An award of attorneys’ fees generally is reviewed for an abuse of discretion,

while the amount of such an award also is reviewable for legal and factual

sufficiency. See Bocquet v. Herring, 972 S.W.2d 19, 20-21 (Tex. 1998); Hagedorn

v. Tisdale, 73 S.W.3d 341, 353 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2002, no pet.); see also Iliff v.

Iliff, 339 S.W.3d 74, 78 (Tex. 2011) (“A trial court abuses its discretion when it acts

arbitrarily or unreasonably, without reference to guiding rules or principles.”)

(citations omitted). The need to segregate fees is a question of law, while the extent

to which certain claims can or cannot be segregated is a mixed question of law and

(Tex. App.—Austin 2008, pet. denied).

      Complaints of jury charge error are reviewed for an abuse of discretion. Tex.

Co. v. Red Deer Res., LLC, 466 S.W.3d 335, 341 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2015, pet.

filed). A jury charge error warrants reversal when the improper instruction probably

caused the rendition of an improper judgment. See Indian Beach Prop. Owners’

Ass’n v. Linden, 222 S.W.3d 682, 703 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no

                                     ARGUMENT
I.    Defendants   Are    Entitled               to   Judgment   on     Mikkelsen’s
      Minority-Oppression Claims.
      Clear error underlies the trial court’s Final Judgment in favor of Mikkelsen on

the minority-oppression claims. Minority oppression does not exist as a

common-law cause of action in Texas, and the Texas Supreme Court recently

clarified that this cause of action never existed. See Ritchie v. Rupe, 443 S.W.3d 856

(Tex. 2014). Instead of submitting questions on minority oppression to the jury and

entering judgment for Mikkelsen on its findings, the trial court was required to

dismiss these claims as a matter of law.




                                            16
      A.     Ritchie v. Rupe Held That Minority Oppression Is Not a Viable Cause
             of Action Under Texas Law.

      For decades, Texas intermediate appellate courts recognized a common-law

cause of action known as minority shareholder oppression. See, e.g., Davis v.

Sheerin, 754 S.W.2d 375 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1988, writ denied),

overruled by Ritchie, 443 S.W.3d 856. The Texas Supreme Court, however, never

recognized that common-law cause of action and, more than a year ago, it explicitly

held that no such cause of action exists in Texas. See Ritchie, 443 S.W.3d at 860

(“Moving beyond the statutory claims, we decline to recognize or create a Texas

common-law cause of action for ‘minority shareholder oppression.’”); see id. at

877-91 (outlining the Court’s reasoning and concluding that “[w]e . . . therefore

decline to recognize a common-law cause of action for ‘shareholder oppression’”);

id. at 904-05 (Guzman, J., dissenting) (“[T]he Court acknowledges that its . . . failure

to impose a common-law remedy for oppression leaves a ‘gap’ in the protection that

the law affords to individual minority shareholders when the harm to the minority

shareholders does not harm the corporation.” (citation omitted)). The Texas

Supreme Court also has made clear that Ritchie applies retroactively to

minority-oppression claims pleaded or decided prior to Ritchie. See, e.g., Cardiac

Perfusion Servs., Inc. v. Hughes, 436 S.W.3d 790, 792 (Tex. 2014) (applying

Ritchie’s holding to a minority-oppression claim decided before Ritchie was

decided).

                                          17
      B.     The Trial Court Erred in Concluding That the Relevant Holding in
             Ritchie v. Rupe Was Dicta.

      Defendants brought the Ritchie decision to the trial court’s attention and filed

a summary judgment motion asserting that Ritchie was “fatal” to Mikkelsen’s

minority-oppression claim and other tort claims. See 2Supp.CR3. In response to that

motion, Mikkelsen argued that one of Ritchie’s holdings—i.e., that Texas did not

recognize a common-law cause of action for minority oppression—was dicta.

2CR118-20 (asserting that “[t]he discussion in Ritchie of common law oppression

claims is dictum and not binding”); see also 5RR 36:18-19 (“On the oppression issue

this Ritchie case is not binding on anybody because it is dicta.”). The trial

court—despite the unmistakable language in Ritchie, see supra Section

I.A.—allowed the minority-oppression claims against the Burgess Defendants to go

to the jury. See Ex. 2 at 10-16.

      The trial court’s decision was error. It cannot be squared with the plain

language in Ritchie, and it runs counter to every single Texas appellate court that

has considered the vitality of common-law minority-oppression claims since

Ritchie. See, e.g., Cardiac Perfusion Servs., 436 S.W.3d at 792 (“In Ritchie, we

clarified that a claim for shareholder oppression is only available under section

11.404 of the Texas Business Organizations Code, and that the only remedy

available under that statute is a rehabilitative receivership.”); Tex. Ear Nose &

Throat Consultants, PLLC v. Jones, --- S.W.3d ----, 2015 WL 3918130, at *16 (Tex.

                                         18
App.—Houston [14th Dist.] June 25, 2015, no pet.) (noting that Ritchie was a “sea

change” and that, “[i]n Ritchie, the Texas Supreme Court held that there is no

common law cause of action for shareholder oppression”); White Point Minerals,

Inc. v. Swantner, 464 S.W.3d 884, 890 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2015, no pet.)

(noting that Ritchie “held that Texas does not recognize a common law action for

minority shareholder oppression”); Cent. Austin Apartments, LLC v. UP Austin

Holdings, LP, No. 03-13-00080-CV (Tex. App.—Austin Dec. 8, 2014) (op.

withdrawn on Feb. 6, 2015 based on settlement of parties) (Ex. 11 at 25-26) (holding

that, “[i]n Ritchie v. Rupe, the Texas Supreme Court . . . held that there is no

common law cause of action for minority oppression in Texas,” and rendering

judgment in favor of defendants on the minority-oppression claim). In addition to

these state-law authorities, the Fifth Circuit, applying Texas law, has concluded that

Ritchie’s statements on common-law minority-oppression claims were binding and

more than mere dicta. See In re Mandel, 578 F. App’x 376, 387 (5th Cir. 2014)

(“[T]he Supreme Court of Texas held that there is no common law cause of action

for shareholder oppression.”) (emphasis added).7

7
  In addition to this undisputed appellate authority, Mikkelsen’s argument that the relevant
language in Ritchie is nothing more than dicta is contradicted by scholars and commentators. See,
e.g., Lyndon Bittle & Kelli Hinson, Texas Turns a Corner: Resolving Shareholder Disputes in
Closely Held Businesses After Ritchie v. Rupe, 67 BAYLOR L. REV. 339, 383 (2015) (“Based on
[the Supreme Court’s] consideration of [factors], [it] determined it would not ‘recognize a
common-law cause of action for ‘shareholder oppression.’’”) (quoting Ritchie, 443 S.W.3d at
891); Todd A. Murray, The Texas Courts’ Ongoing Struggle to Harmonize the Texas Business
Organizations Code with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure in Derivative Shareholder Litigation,

                                               19
       Defendants are not aware of any case law that either supports Mikkelsen’s

reading of Ritchie or stands for the proposition that a common-law claim for

minority oppression remains viable in Texas. The Final Judgment must be reversed

insofar as it holds the Burgess Defendants liable based on a cause of action that does

not exist, and judgment must be rendered in favor of the Burgess Defendants on the

minority-oppression claims.

       C.     Alternatively, the Evidence at Trial Was Not Legally or Factually
              Sufficient to Constitute Minority Oppression.

       Because common-law minority oppression is not a valid cause of action in

Texas, Defendants only briefly address why the alleged evidence of minority

oppression at trial was not legally or factually sufficient to sustain the jury’s findings

even under the now-defunct test for minority oppression. Under the trial court’s

instructions on minority oppression, Mikkelsen was required to show that the

majority member’s conduct constituted:

       burdensome, harsh, or wrongful conduct; a lack of probity and fair
       dealing in the company’s affairs to the prejudice of some members; or a
       visible departure from the standards of fair dealing and a violation of
       fair play on which each shareholder is entitled to rely.



47 TEX. TECH L. REV. 245, 261 (2015) (noting that Ritchie “foreclosed” a common-law remedy for
shareholder oppression). Even commentators who disagree with Ritchie acknowledge that, in that
case, the Texas Supreme Court held that no common-law cause of action for minority oppression
exists under Texas law. James Dawson, Ritchie v. Rupe and the Future of Shareholder
Oppression, 124 YALE L.J. FORUM 89, 90, 92 (2014) (stating that Ritchie “gutted the cause of
action for shareholder oppression in Texas” and that, “[u]nder Ritchie, majority shareholders are
not liable for oppression unless their conduct is irrational and harmful to the corporation”).


                                               20
Ex. 2 at 10-11; see also Davis, 754 S.W.2d at 381-82. Mikkelsen failed to present

sufficient evidence to satisfy this “definition” of minority oppression.

      The Herring Bancorp Board’s decision to institute two neutral criteria for

determining which preferred shares could be converted into common stock did not

constitute “burdensome,” “harsh,” or “wrongful” conduct. In fact, the evidence at

trial demonstrated that this decision was based on the Herring Bancorp Board’s

business judgment and was made to ensure that Herring Bancorp would remain a

Subchapter “S” Corporation. See 9RR 29:10-30:5 (testifying that the purpose of

implementing the two criteria was to ensure that, as the Bank grew, it would be able

to attract new shareholders without sacrificing its Subchapter “S” status). Such

conduct does not constitute minority oppression, especially considering that both the

2006 and 2013 redemptions complied with the Articles of Incorporation. See infra

Sections II.A.-B.; Guerra v. Guerra, No. 04-10-00271-CV, 2011 WL 3715051, at

*6-7 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011, no pet.) (noting that conduct is not wrongful

when the defendant has followed corporate procedure and exercised business

judgment); see also Tex. Beef Cattle Co. v. Green, 921 S.W.2d 203, 211 (Tex. 1996)

(“Whatever a man has a legal right to do, he may do with impunity, regardless of

motive, and if in exercising his legal right in a legal way damage results to another,

no cause of action arises against him because of a bad motive in exercising the

right.”) (citation omitted).


                                          21
      Further, there was no legally or factually sufficient evidence of damages “that

proximately resulted” from any minority oppression. Ex. 2 at 12. As explained

below, see infra Sections II.C.-D., Mikkelsen has received everything that he was

entitled to under the Articles of Incorporation, and thus any alleged minority

oppression did not harm him.

      In sum, common-law minority oppression is not a valid cause of action in

Texas but, even if it were, Mikkelsen failed to present legally or factually sufficient

evidence at trial to support a finding of minority oppression by either of the Burgess

Defendants here. The Final Judgment should be reversed and judgment should be

rendered in favor of Defendants on Mikkelsen’s minority-oppression claims.

Alternatively, to the extent the Court finds that a fact issue prevents the rendition of

judgment in Defendants’ favor, a new trial is warranted on the minority oppression

claims.

II.   Mikkelsen Cannot Recover on His Breach of Contract Claim or on His
      Declaratory Judgment Claim, and Defendants Should Prevail on Their
      Declaratory Judgment Claim.
      A.     The 2006 Redemption Was Valid.

      Mikkelsen does not contest that Herring Bancorp had the right to redeem his

preferred shares; he only attacks the procedure Herring Bancorp used. According to

Mikkelsen, the 2006 redemption was invalid because only some of the preferred

shares were redeemed, and thus, under the Articles of Incorporation, that redemption



                                          22
had to be done “by lot, or pro rata.” Ex. 5, art. IV(c). Mikkelsen, like the trial court,

misunderstands the structure of the 2006 redemption.

      Under the Articles of Incorporation, there is no restriction on Herring

Bancorp’s ability to redeem all outstanding preferred shares, except that it must pay

preferred shareholders the par value and accrued dividends associated with their

preferred shares. Ex. 5, art. IV. The record shows that Mikkelsen’s (and his

brother’s) preferred shares were redeemed on November 20, 2006, and that this

redemption covered all outstanding preferred shares. See 9RR 214:10-20 (“[A]s of

5:01 p.m. [on November 20, 2006], John Mikkelsen and Mallory Mikkelsen, they

were the only ones that had preferred stock because all the others had elected to

convert. A. Yes.”). All other preferred shares had been converted into common stock

in the new Subchapter “S” Corporation prior to the redemption. Mikkelsen cannot

cite a provision in the Articles of Incorporation restricting Herring Bancorp’s ability

to convert preferred shares into common stock and, because the 2006 redemption

involved “the whole . . . of the preferred shares outstanding,” that redemption was

not required to be done “by lot, or pro rata.” Ex. 5, art. IV(c).

      Despite the fact that Herring Bancorp followed the Articles of Incorporation

in conducting the 2006 redemption, Mikkelsen convinced the trial court that all of

the preferred shares were not redeemed because the 2006 conversion of preferred




                                           23
shares into common stock constituted a partial redemption. Mikkelsen’s argument is

wrong.

       There is no provision in the Articles of Incorporation addressing the

conversion of preferred shares, restricting Herring Bancorp’s ability to convert some

or all of its shares, or outlining the criteria that must be used in making such a

conversion. In fact, the provision most closely related to converting shares is Article

XII, which allows Herring Bancorp “to purchase, directly or indirectly, its own

shares . . . without submitting such purchase to a vote of the shareholders of the

Corporation.” Ex. 5, art. XII (emphasis added). The language in Article XII suggests

no restriction on Herring Bancorp’s ability to “indirectly” purchase its own stock,8

and Mikkelsen cannot point to any such restriction. Once the other shares were

converted, Herring Bancorp redeemed all outstanding shares in accordance with

Article IV.

       Mikkelsen’s argument boils down to the insupportable assertion that he was

entitled to convert his preferred shares into common stock. See 8RR 163:16-23 (“Q.

Okay. So, you’re not complaining about what happened to anybody else [during the

2006 redemption], are you? A. No. Q. Only what happened to yours and Mallory’s?

A. Yes. Q. And the only complaint is that you wanted common stock. A. Yes.”). But,

8
  Mikkelsen’s attempt to treat the conversion as a redemption is misguided. See Rauch v. RCA
Corp., 861 F.2d 29, 30-32 (2d Cir. 1988) (holding that a conversion of shares as part of a corporate
restructuring is legally distinct from a redemption).


                                                24
as noted, the Articles of Incorporation gave Mikkelsen no such right. Accordingly,

the Herring Bancorp Board was permitted to allow preferred shareholders that met

certain criteria to convert their preferred shares into common stock in the new

Subchapter “S” Corporation, while not providing that right to every preferred

shareholder. In fact, the Articles of Incorporation explicitly provide that Mikkelsen,

as a preferred shareholder, has no preferential right to purchase stock. See Ex. 5, art.

V. Mikkelsen thus fails to show how the Board’s actions breached the Articles of

Incorporation.9

       Because Herring Bancorp redeemed every outstanding preferred share on

November 20, 2006, the 2006 redemption complied with the Articles of

Incorporation. There is no restriction on Herring Bancorp’s ability to convert its

preferred shares, and it is permitted to purchase those shares (directly or indirectly)

at any time and for any reason. Mikkelsen’s attempt to turn a conversion of shares

into a redemption of shares is without merit. The Final Judgment should be reversed

on this issue, and this Court should render judgment in favor of Defendants.

Alternatively, to the extent the Court finds that a fact issue prevents the rendition of

9
  Mikkelsen’s argument about the 2006 redemption also elevates form over substance. Herring
Bancorp could have redeemed all of its preferred shares before any conversion, and then allowed
certain former preferred shareholders to purchase common stock in the new Subchapter “S”
Corporation. If Herring Bancorp had proceeded in that manner, Mikkelsen’s contract claim would
be baseless. While Herring Bancorp ultimately chose to convert certain preferred shareholders
before the November 2006 redemption simply “to save time,” the record is clear that Herring
Bancorp “just as easily [could have] paid everybody out and then had them buy the [common]
stock, had they wanted to . . . .” 9RR 215:5-12.


                                              25
judgment in Defendants’ favor, a new trial is warranted so a jury can decide whether

Defendants’ actions complied with the Articles of Incorporation.

      B.     Defendants Are Entitled to Prevail on Their Declaratory Judgment
             Claim Because the 2013 Redemption and Tender Were Valid.
      The 2006 redemption was valid and complied with the Articles of

Incorporation. See supra Section II.A. But, to the extent the Court disagrees, it

should hold that the 2013 redemption and tender were valid, that Defendants prevail

on their declaratory judgment claim, and that Mikkelsen is not entitled to any

additional damages or attorneys’ fees.

      The trial court denied Defendants’ summary judgment motion on their

declaratory judgment claim about the validity of the 2013 redemption and tender,

1CR434-35, and denied Defendants’ motions for directed verdict on that claim,

10RR 76:12-77:22, 85:8-10; 239:3-240:18, 245:19:24. The trial court appears to

have granted a directed verdict in favor of Mikkelsen on this claim, 11RR

16:20-17:8; 2CR294, but the record reveals no motion or request by Mikkelsen for

any such relief and no order or ruling during trial granting any such ruling. The trial

court also denied Defendants’ relevant post-judgment motions on this claim. Ex. 3.

In any event, the trial court took this issue away from the jury, and refused to include

Defendants’ requested instructions and questions on this claim in the jury charge.

This error warrants a new trial should the Court not render judgment in favor of

Defendants about the validity of the 2013 redemption and tender.

                                          26
              1.     The 2013 Redemption Was Valid.
       Mikkelsen made several admissions at trial that demonstrate the validity and

effectiveness of the 2013 redemption:

           Mikkelsen admitted that he and his brother were the only preferred

              shareholders in Herring Bancorp when the (alternative) 2013

              redemption took place. See 8RR 151:2-5 (“So after the 2006 adventure

              that you and Herring Bank had, you and Mallory [Mikkelsen] were the

              only shareholders of preferred stock, right? A. Yes.”).10

           Mikkelsen admitted that Herring Bancorp had the right to redeem his

              shares in November 2013 if he was the only shareholder (or if he and

              his brother were shareholders and they both were redeemed). See 8RR

              171:2-4 (“Q. If you were the only shareholder, [Herring Bancorp] had

              the right to redeem you, correct? A. If I was the only shareholder.”).

              Mikkelsen admitted that he is entitled to receive only money for his

              preferred shares under the Articles of Incorporation. See 8RR 171:9-12.

       In addition to these admissions, there is no dispute that Mikkelsen was given

proper notice of the 2013 redemption. Ex. 8. And there is no dispute that the 2013

tender that accompanied the redemption more than covered the amounts owed to



10
  After testifying to this point, Mikkelsen attempted to walk back his admission based on his
argument that the conversion of other preferred shareholders was somehow ineffective. 8RR

                                             27
Mikkelsen under the Articles of Incorporation. See Ex. 9 (unconditional tender

included $28,500 for redeeming 300 shares at $95 per share (par value), $21,070.48

in unpaid dividends, $15,977.76 in interest, and $50,000 in attorneys’ fees). So, even

if the 2006 redemption was invalid, the 2013 redemption and tender made

Mikkelsen whole. See infra Section IV (demonstrating that maximum amount of

recoverable attorneys’ fees is less than $40,000, and thus less than the amount

provided for in the 2013 tender).

       In attempting to convince the trial court that the 2013 redemption was invalid,

Mikkelsen made erroneous arguments that this Court should reject.

       First, Mikkelsen argued at the hearing on Defendants’ post-judgment motions

that “[w]e still have serious questions about . . . whether the Mikkelsens were the

only preferred shareholders” in 2013. 15RR 14:23-25. That conclusory assertion is

contradicted by the record and Mikkelsen’s own testimony at trial. See 8RR 151:2-5.

Moreover, while Mikkelsen may be attempting to call into question whether the

other preferred shareholders were properly converted in 2006 before the redemption,

he has no standing to make such a claim and cannot undermine the validity of the

conversion, especially considering he was not eligible to convert his shares and he

was not a third-party beneficiary to the conversion offer. See S. Tex. Water Auth. v.



152:13-153:2. Mikkelsen lacks standing to make such an assertion, and the trial court never
invalidated the 2006 conversion. See infra Section II.B.1.


                                            28
Lomas, 223 S.W.3d 304, 306 (Tex. 2007) (noting that courts presume that a

noncontracting third party has no justiciable interest in a contract); MCI Telecomms.

Corp. v. Tex. Utils. Elec. Co., 995 S.W.2d 647, 652 (Tex. 1999) (noting presumption

against conferring third-party-beneficiary status on noncontracting parties). In any

event, there was no evidence at trial that any other preferred shareholder complained

about the 2006 conversion or redemption, or challenged the validity of either. 8RR

159:24-163:15. In fact, Mikkelsen conceded at trial that he is “not complaining

about what happened to anybody else” during 2006 and affirmed that his only

complaint is that he should have been given the option to obtain common stock. 8RR

163:16-23; see also supra Section II.A. (explaining that Mikkelsen had no right to

convert his shares under the Articles of Incorporation).

      Second, Mikkelsen’s suggestion that the 2006 conversion and redemption

somehow prevent the 2013 redemption from being valid is wrong. 15RR 14:19-23

(asserting that the 2013 redemption “was really sort of an extension of the invalid

2006 redemption”). As an initial matter, the trial court never called into question the

validity of the 2006 conversion or redemption as regards other shareholders (or

otherwise, set those transactions aside), meaning that any alleged invalidity of the

2006 conversion or redemption does not prevent the 2013 redemption from being

valid. Moreover, Mikkelsen cannot point to any authority to support the proposition

that an invalid redemption of stock taints a subsequent redemption such that the


                                          29
stock never can be redeemed. In fact, the case cited time and again by Mikkelsen at

trial—Cotten v. Weatherford Bancshares, Inc., 187 S.W.3d 687 (Tex. App.—Fort

Worth 2006, pet. denied), overruled by Ritchie, 443 S.W.3d 856, stands for the

opposite proposition and confirms that the validity of a subsequent redemption does

not depend on whether a prior redemption was effective. Id. at 704 (considering the

validity of a subsequent redemption independently from the validity of a prior

redemption, and holding that the second redemption was void only because the

purported shareholder did not receive proper notice).

      Because (1) all former preferred shareholders (other than the Mikkelsens)

were converted or redeemed in 2006, (2) those conversions and redemptions (except

as to Mikkelsen) never were invalidated by the trial court, and (3) Mikkelsen lacks

standing to challenge them, the 2013 redemption necessarily is separate from the

2006 redemption, and Mikkelsen cannot use any alleged invalidity related to the

2006 redemption to undermine the 2013 redemption. The 2013 redemption was

valid and complied with the Articles of Incorporation. The trial court erred in

deciding to the contrary as a matter of law and/or fact. For the foregoing reasons, the

trial court’s findings are not supported by legally or factually sufficient evidence.

             2.     The 2013 Tender Is Valid.

      Mikkelsen claims that the 2013 tender is invalid or otherwise not sufficient,

but his arguments are belied by the record. The 2013 tender was for $115,548.24,


                                          30
which more than covered the value of Mikkelsen’s preferred shares, unpaid

dividends, interest, and attorneys’ fees related to the breach of contract claim. The

trial court erred to the extent it held, as a matter of law and/or fact, that the 2013

tender was invalid, and its findings are not supported by legally or factually

sufficient evidence. At the very least, there are fact issues related to the tender that a

jury should decide.11

       Mikkelsen asserts that the 2013 tender cannot be effective because Herring

Bancorp sent Mikkelsen a cashier’s check instead of depositing funds in an

escrow/deposit account. See 15RR 15:1-17. This formalistic argument about the

mechanics of payment, however, does not call into question the validity of the

tender. See 1CR437. The Articles of Incorporation do not require Herring Bancorp

to redeem preferred shares by depositing funds in an escrow/deposit account; the

Articles of Incorporation only specify that depositing funds in an escrow/deposit

account is an acceptable method of effectuating a redemption. Ex. 5, art. IV(d). The

Articles also state that shares can be redeemed “by paying in cash,” which is the

equivalent of a cashier’s check. Id., art. IV(c); see Dilling v. Nationsbank, N.A., 897

S.W.2d 451, 457 (Tex. App.—Waco 1995), rev’d on other grounds, 922 S.W.2d

950 (Tex. 1996) (calling a cashier’s check “a cash equivalent”); Ex parte Ellis, 279

11
   As noted, even though the trial court denied Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on this
issue, it refused to instruct and to ask the jury about the 2013 redemption and tender. See supra
Facts Section V; see also 11RR 14:9-17:12; Ex. 10.


                                               31
S.W.3d 1, 25 (Tex. App.—Austin 2008), aff’d, 309 S.W.3d 71 (Tex. Crim. App.

2010) (same).

      As these provisions suggest, the key language in the Articles of Incorporation

is that the transfer of funds/payment associated with a redemption be “irrevocable”

and “available” to the preferred shareholder on the redemption date. Ex. 5, art.

IV(c)-(d). The 2013 tender (in the form of a cashier’s check) met those criteria, and

thus was an effective mechanism of payment. See Jensen v. Covington, 234 S.W.3d

198, 206 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, pet. denied) (noting that a tender is an

unconditional offer); Staff Indus., Inc. v. Hallmark Contracting, Inc., 846 S.W.2d

542 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1993, no writ).

      Mikkelsen also incorrectly claims that the tender is invalid because the

cashier’s check is payable to both Mikkelsen and his brother, Mallory, even though

Mallory Mikkelsen purportedly assigned his shares to John Mikkelsen in 2008. See

15RR 15:2-10. As an initial matter, Mikkelsen is wrong that the purported

assignment of Mallory Mikkelsen’s shares was effective as to Herring Bancorp. The

tender correctly listed both John Mikkelsen and Mallory Mikkelsen because that was

how the shares were listed on Herring Bancorp’s books. See 4RR 37:3-7; 10RR

158:18-22 (Jack Hall, Herring Bank’s CFO, testifying that John and Mallory

Mikkelsen were both shareholders of record in 2013, assuming the 2006 redemption

was invalid). Under Herring Bancorp’s Bylaws, “[s]hares of stock of the


                                         32
Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the

shareholders thereof . . . . Upon surrender to the Corporation . . . of a certificate

representing shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of

succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, the Corporation . . . shall issue a

new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record

the transaction upon its books.” 12RR, PX-3, § 7.05 (emphasis added). Mikkelsen

never properly presented the purported assignment to Herring Bancorp, never

surrendered any stock certificates to Herring Bancorp, and never received any new

stock certificates from Herring Bancorp.12 Thus—assuming that Mikkelsen and his

brother remained shareholders after 2006—the purported assignment was not

effective, and the old certificates remained valid under the Articles of Incorporation.

Herring Bancorp was required to make the tender based on its books and records,

meaning that the tender was effective regardless of any purported assignment. In any

event, Mikkelsen has never argued (and has put forward no evidence to suggest) that

his brother is unwilling to sign the cashier’s check, or that Mikkelsen is prevented in

any way from negotiating the tender.

       Finally, to the extent that Mikkelsen argues that the tender amount is

insufficient, that argument is wrong. There never has been a dispute about the


12
   Nothing in the Bylaws suggests that producing a purported certificate of assignment in litigation
is sufficient to comply with Section 7.05.


                                                33
amount paid for the shares or the amount of unpaid dividends, which means that the

2013 tender was sufficient to redeem Mikkelsen’s shares. See 12RR, PX-16

(showing Mikkelsen’s calculations). 13 Accordingly, the only contested issue is

whether the tender covers any remaining amounts owed to Mikkelsen.14

       The only other possible amounts owing to Mikkelsen are attorneys’ fees,

interest amounts, and damages. The tender more than covers these amounts,

assuming the Court finds the 2006 redemption invalid. First, Mikkelsen only

incurred about $40,000 in attorneys’ fees related to his breach of contract claim, see

infra Section IV.B., which is $10,000 less than the amount for attorneys’ fees

provided in the 2013 tender. See Ex. 9 at 2.15 Second, Mikkelsen has put forward no

evidence showing that the interest calculation in the 2013 tender is less than what is

owed, and the tender includes $10,000 more in interest than the amount of

prejudgment interest in the Final Judgment. See Ex. 1 at 2; Ex. 9 at 2. Third, the only

damages that Mikkelsen was awarded in the Final Judgment “represent[] preferred

dividends,” which the 2013 tender covered. See Ex. 1 at 2; see also Ex. 9. Mikkelsen


13
  Because Mikkelsen only was entitled to the par value of his shares and any unpaid dividends
under the Articles of Incorporation, because those amounts are not in dispute, and because the
tender covered those amounts, Mikkelsen has received all amounts necessary to redeem his shares.
14
  If the 2013 redemption and tender are effective, Mikkelsen is not entitled to any dividends after
the date of the 2013 redemption. See infra note 16.
15
  If the Court finds that the 2006 redemption was valid, Mikkelsen is not entitled to any attorneys’
fees because he will not have prevailed on his breach of contract claim, see infra Section IV.A.,
and the Court will not need to decide whether the 2013 redemption and tender are valid.


                                                34
has not disputed Defendants’ dividend calculation in the 2013 tender, and the tender

even covers the extra $2,041.52 awarded for unpaid dividends in the Final

Judgment16 because the tender included more than $10,000 in excess attorneys’ fees

and an excess amount of interest. See infra Section IV.B.; compare Ex. 1 at 2

(awarding $23,112.00 in damages based on unpaid dividends and $5,222.25 in

prejudgment interest), with Ex. 9 at 1 (tender includes $21,070.48 in unpaid

dividends and $15,997.26 in interest). While Mikkelsen appears to have resisted

accepting the 2013 tender because it did not include all damage amounts he

originally sought, 8RR 137:6-9, the jury was not asked to award and did not award

any actual damages above the amounts of unpaid dividends, see Ex. 2 at 12-30.

Moreover, the jury failed to find “malice” and did not award any punitive damages.

Ex. 2 at 13-16, 20-23, 27-30. And, for the reasons stated in Sections I and III,

Mikkelsen’s tort claims fail as a matter of law. Thus, the tender covers all damages

owed to Mikkelsen.

       For these reasons, the tender is effective both to redeem Mikkelsen’s shares

and to cover all amounts he is owed. This Court should reverse the trial court’s

finding that the 2013 redemption was invalid, hold that the 2013 tender redeemed

Mikkelsen’s shares and sufficiently covered all amounts owed to Mikkelsen, and


16
 The unpaid dividend amount in the Final Judgment is slightly higher than in the tender because
more dividends accrued between November 2013 and June 2015.

render judgment in favor of Defendants. Alternatively, there is, at the very least, a

fact issue related to whether the amount of the tender is sufficient, requiring a new

trial on the declaratory judgment claims. See Ex. 10.

             3.     The Trial Court Abused its Discretion by Refusing to Instruct
                    and Ask the Jury About the 2013 Redemption and Tender.

      As noted, the trial court denied Defendants’ summary judgment motion,

motions for directed verdict, and post-judgment motions related to the 2013

redemption and tender. See supra Section II.B. While the record shows no motion

or request from Mikkelsen that the trial court issue a directed verdict in his favor

about the validity of the 2013 redemption and tender, the trial court appears to have

issued such a ruling, 11RR 16:20-17:8; 2CR294, and refused to let the jury decide

these issues, Ex. 10.

      To the extent a fact issue prevents this Court from rendering judgment in

Defendants’ favor, it should conclude that the trial court’s findings are not supported

by legally or factually sufficient evidence, as argued supra in Sections II.B.1.-2., and

that the trial court erred and abused its discretion by not submitting instructions and

questions to the jury about the 2013 redemption and tender. Defendants’ requested

questions and instructions were substantially correct. See supra Section II.B.2; Ex.

10. The trial court’s failure to ask the jury about the 2013 redemption and tender is

reversible error because it prevented the jury from rendering a proper verdict and

because it probably caused the rendition of an improper judgment. See Tex.

                                          36
Workers’ Comp. Ins. Fund v. Mandlbauer, 34 S.W.3d 909, 911 (Tex. 2000); Tex. R.

App. P. 44.1(a).

      C.     Regardless of the Validity of the Two Redemptions, Mikkelsen Cannot
             Show Any Damages Resulting from Defendants’ Actions.
      Mikkelsen has received payment for all he is owed for any breach of the

Articles of Incorporation. See supra Sections II.A.-B. In 2006, Herring Bancorp

deposited in escrow the par value of Mikkelsen’s preferred shares plus any unpaid

dividends. 13RR, DX-26 at 2; 13RR, DX-32. In 2013, Herring Bancorp sent

Mikkelsen a tender, in the form of a cashier’s check (No. 120987), for $115,548.24,

which included $28,500 for redeeming 300 shares at $95 per share (par value),

$21,070.48 in unpaid dividends, $15,977.76 in interest, and $50,000 in attorneys’

fees. See Ex. 9. If the 2006 redemption is valid, then Mikkelsen is entitled to the

amount in escrow; if the 2006 redemption is invalid, then Mikkelsen is entitled to the

tender amount paid in 2013. Either way, Mikkelsen has received payment for the

value of his preferred shares and any unpaid dividends, which means that he no

longer is a shareholder of Herring Bancorp. Ex. 5, art. IV(c)-(d). And, as explained,

the tender also included amounts for interest and attorneys’ fees which, to the extent

those amounts are required, more than cover what Mikkelsen is owed. See supra

Section II.B.2.; see infra Section IV.B. Mikkelsen thus cannot show any damages to

support his breach of contract claim.




                                         37
      D.     Even Assuming a Breach, Mikkelsen Is Not Entitled to Remain a
             Shareholder in Perpetuity; He Only Is Entitled to the Par Value of His
             Preferred Shares Plus Unpaid Dividends.

      Mikkelsen has asserted that, because he considers the 2006 redemption

invalid, Herring Bancorp is incapable of redeeming his preferred shares, and he can

hold those shares and exercise his alleged rights to inspect the corporate books and

records in perpetuity. That argument finds no support in the Articles of

Incorporation or in Texas law.

      Regardless of the validity of the 2006 redemption, Herring Bancorp has the

right to redeem and/or repurchase Mikkelsen’s shares at any time, and Mikkelsen

only is entitled to the value of his shares plus any unpaid dividends. Specifically,

Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation allows Herring Bancorp to redeem all

preferred shareholders at any time, and Article XII allows Herring Bancorp to

“purchase, directly or indirectly, its own shares” at any time and without submitting

that decision to a shareholder vote. Ex. 5, art. IV, XII.

      Herring Bancorp redeemed Mikkelsen’s shares twice (in 2006 and 2013). The

trial court erroneously held that the 2006 redemption was invalid, and Mikkelsen

convinced the trial court to deny summary judgment on the 2013 redemption and to

take this issue away from the jury based on the incorrect assertion that the 2013

redemption was improper simply because Mikkelsen did not “think the [2006]

redemption was proper.” 4RR 36:4-19. Mikkelsen already has received what he was


                                          38
owed under the Articles of Incorporation—both in 2006 through the amount

deposited in escrow and in 2013 through the tender. See supra Section II.C.

Accordingly, even if the Court determines that Herring Bancorp breached the

Articles of Incorporation, it must reverse the Final Judgment insofar as it declared

that Mikkelsen remains a preferred shareholder with the right to inspect Herring

Bancorp’s books and records. At a minimum, and to the extent the redemptions and

tender were invalid, this Court should reverse and remand the action for the trial

court to determine the proper amount that Herring Bancorp must pay Mikkelsen to

redeem his shares.

III.   Defendants Are Entitled to Judgment on Mikkelsen’s Breach of
       Fiduciary Duty Claim Against C.C. Burgess for an Additional Reason
       Than the One Found by the Jury.
       The jury found that only C.C. Burgess breached fiduciary duties he allegedly

owed to Mikkelsen but awarded no damages based on that finding. Ex. 2 at 17-23.

The jury’s breach of fiduciary duty finding was not specifically incorporated into the

Final Judgment, which denied all relief “not expressly herein granted.” Ex. 1 at 3.

The trial court correctly did not award relief on the jury’s breach of fiduciary duty

finding in the Final Judgment because no damages were awarded on that claim.

Additionally, there should have been no liability finding as to C.C. Burgess because

(1) directors, officers, and majority shareholders of a corporation do not owe

fiduciary duties to minority shareholders as a matter of law, and (2) the evidence at


                                         39
trial was not legally or factually sufficient to show that C.C. Burgess violated any

alleged fiduciary duty to Mikkelsen. Defendants address why the jury’s finding that

C.C. Burgess breached his fiduciary duties is wrong as a matter of law and fact only

out of an abundance of caution.

      A.     C.C. Burgess Owes No Fiduciary Duties to Mikkelsen Under Texas
             Law.

      Texas law is clear that officers and directors do not owe formal fiduciary

duties to individual shareholders—including minority shareholders; the only

fiduciary duties they owe are to the corporation as a whole. See, e.g., Somers ex rel.

EGL, Inc. v. Crane, 295 S.W.3d 5, 11 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2009, no

pet.) (“A director’s fiduciary duty runs only to the corporation, not to individual

shareholders or even to a majority of the shareholders.” (citation omitted)); Grinnell

v. Munson, 137 S.W.3d 706, 718 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2004, pet. denied).

Texas law also is clear that shareholders in closely held corporations do not owe

fiduciary duties to other shareholders, even where the relevant relationship is

between a majority and minority shareholder. See Opperman v. Opperman, No.

07-12-00033-CV, 2013 WL 6529228, at *4 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Dec. 9, 2013, no

pet.); Pabich v. Kellar, 71 S.W.3d 500, 504 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2002, pet.

denied). Thus, under well-established Texas law, C.C. Burgess owed no formal

fiduciary duties to Mikkelsen.




                                         40
      While courts have, on occasion, held that an informal fiduciary relationship

can arise from “a moral, social, domestic or purely personal relationship of trust and

confidence,” Associated Indemnity Corp. v. CAT Contracting, Inc., 964 S.W.2d 276,

287 (Tex. 1998), such relationships are not inferred or created “lightly,”

Schlumberger Technology Corp. v. Swanson, 959 S.W.2d 171, 176-77 (Tex. 1997);

see also Jones v. Thompson, 338 S.W.3d 573, 583 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2010, pet.

denied) (“Texas courts are reluctant to recognize informal fiduciary relationships.”).

Indeed, “[t]o impose an informal fiduciary duty in a business transaction, the special

relationship of trust and confidence must exist prior to, and apart from, the

agreement [underlying] the suit.” Associated Indemnity Corp., 964 S.W.2d at 288.

Here, Mikkelsen has not pleaded, let alone shown, the existence of any special

relationship with C.C. Burgess that would create an informal fiduciary relationship

between the two of them. See 2CR153-61. And there is no evidence in the trial

record to support the existence of such a relationship.

      Despite these precedents, the trial court erred and instructed the jury that

majority shareholders owe fiduciary duties to minority shareholders as a matter of

law. Ex. 2 at 17-18; see also 11RR 20:1-22:9 (objecting to instructions regarding

fiduciary duties). This instruction was erroneous under the authorities cited above.

The jury’s “$0.00” damage finding justified the trial court’s denial of the relief

Mikkelsen requested on his breach of fiduciary duty claim. Because C.C. Burgess


                                         41
owed no fiduciary duties to Mikkelsen as a matter of law, the Court should render

judgment in favor of Defendants on the breach of fiduciary duty claim for this

additional reason. Certainly, the trial court’s erroneous jury instruction and question

prevents the rendition of judgment against C.C. Burgess on this claim, as does the

insufficiency of the evidence discussed below.

      B.     Alternatively, the Evidence Was Not Legally or Factually Sufficient to
             Show That C.C. Burgess Violated Any Purported Fiduciary Duties.

      Even if C.C. Burgess somehow owed Mikkelsen a fiduciary duty (which he

did not), insufficient evidence was introduced at trial for the jury to conclude that

C.C. Burgess breached any such duty. C.C. Burgess’s involvement (as relevant here)

was limited to his participation on the Herring Bancorp Board subcommittee that

selected the two neutral criteria for deciding which preferred shares could be

converted and which shares would be redeemed—i.e., whether the preferred

shareholder had a banking relationship with Herring Bank, and whether the

preferred shareholder would own at least 50 shares of common stock after the

conversion, 13RR, DX-19 at 1. Formulating these criteria cannot form the basis of a

breach of fiduciary duty claim because the evidence at trial showed that these criteria

were adopted because the Herring Bancorp Board believed that they were in the best

interests of the Corporation. See 9RR 27:17-30:5 (C.C. Burgess stating that the

reason for adopting the 50-share threshold was the concern that as the bank grew,

new shareholders would need to be attracted and the bank needed “to maintain as

                                          42
many openings . . . for inviting those shareholders to join the bank”); 10RR

121:15-122:18 (Todd Clark testifying that, in his view, “[y]ou want people to have a

reasonable investment in the bank, be customers in the bank if they are going to own

shares in the bank”). In any event, Defendants presented unrefuted evidence at trial

that these criteria were not developed to affect Mikkelsen, or otherwise breach any

purported fiduciary relationship with Mikkelsen. See 9RR 28:3-6 (“Q. Did [the

50-share threshold] have anything to do with the number of shares [Mikkelsen]

would have after a conversion . . . . ? A. Absolutely not.”); 9RR 33:4-11 (“It was

never our intent to ostracize Mr. Mikkelsen in any way.”); 10RR 91:18-94:2 (Susan

Couch discussing that the two criteria were approved by outside legal counsel);

10RR 107:22-108:16 (Todd Clark testifying that he did not know whether

Mikkelsen met the two criteria until this lawsuit was filed).

       In sum, Mikkelsen failed to introduce legally or factually sufficient evidence

at trial to justify the jury’s liability finding on the breach of fiduciary duty claim as to

C.C. Burgess. In the unlikely event that the Court reverses the Final Judgment on

this claim, at least a new trial is warranted for the reasons stated above.

IV.    The $127,442 Fee Award Should Be Reversed.
       A.     Because Mikkelsen Cannot Prevail on His Breach of Contract Claim,
              He Is Not Entitled to an Attorneys’ Fee Award.

       As explained, see supra Section II, Mikkelsen should not have prevailed on

his breach of contract claim that the trial court decided on summary judgment in


                                            43
2011. And because the breach of contract claim was the basis for Mikkelsen’s fee

award, see 10RR at 54:17-19 (basing claimed fee amount on “the contract claim”),

reversing the trial court’s Final Judgment on the breach of contract claim requires

this Court to reverse the fee award as well and render judgment in favor of

Defendants. See, e.g., Harrison v. Williams Dental Grp., P.C., 140 S.W.3d 912, 918

(Tex. App.—Dallas 2004, no pet.) (“[W]e have reversed the trial court’s judgment

as to the breach of contract claim, so we cannot uphold the award of attorney’s fees

based on that claim.”).

      B.     Alternatively, if Mikkelsen Is Entitled to Some of His Fees, the
             $127,442 Award Cannot Stand Because It Is Unsupported and Because
             Mikkelsen Did Not Segregate His Attorneys’ Fees Properly.

      Texas law is clear that, in order to recover attorneys’ fees, a party must

establish the amount of time/expenses incurred pursuing claims which allow for

attorneys’ fees, and must segregate that time/expense from the time/expense

incurred pursuing claims which do not allow for attorneys’ fees. See Tony Gullo

Motors I, L.P. v. Chapa, 212 S.W.3d 299, 311 (Tex. 2006). While Mikkelsen’s

attorney generally stated at trial that 80% of his time and expenses should be

recoverable because they were “tied” with the contract claim, this generalized claim

is not sufficient for segregation purposes and is belied by the record. See 10RR

53:6-58:7.




                                        44
      First, under Long v. Griffin, 442 S.W.3d 253 (Tex. 2014), a ballpark

percentage guess about the amount of time spent pursuing a specific claim is not

sufficient for segregation purposes; the party seeking its fees must present “evidence

of the time spent on specific tasks” to show proper segregation. Id. at 255; see also

Enzo Invs., LP v. White, 468 S.W.3d 635, 652 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]

2015, pet. denied) (holding that attorney’s statement that 95% of the attorney time in

a case was attributable to a breach of contract claim was insufficient evidence of

segregation). While Mikkelsen may claim that he provided more evidence than a

ballpark percentage guess because his fee invoices were admitted into the record, a

review of those invoices demonstrated that the 80% ballpark guess was not accurate.

In fact, Defendants’ trial counsel conducted an “audit-like” review of Mikkelsen’s

invoices and, based on that review, he testified at trial that Mikkelsen’s reasonable

and necessary attorneys’ fees related to the breach of contract claim were at most

$39,545.87. See 10RR 180:12-183:24. Thus, far from an 80% ballpark guess, an

accurate, audit-like review showed that Mikkelsen only incurred about $40,000 in

attorneys’ fees pursuing the breach of contract claim—roughly 25% of the total fees

incurred. Id.

      Second, while Mikkelsen’s counsel suggested that 80% of his fees could not

be segregated because the claims at issue were “inextricably intertwined,” 10RR

54:25-55:19, this assertion is contradicted by binding authority. The Texas Supreme


                                         45
Court has held that segregation between claims is not required “only when legal

services advance both recoverable and unrecoverable claims . . . .” A.G. Edwards &

Sons, Inc. v. Beyer, 235 S.W.3d 704, 710 (Tex. 2007) (citing Tony Gullo, 212

S.W.3d at 313-14) (emphasis added); see also 7979 Airport Garage, L.L.C. v.

Dollar Rent A Car Sys., Inc., 245 S.W.3d 488, 509 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th

Dist.] 2007, pet. denied) (“If any of the component tasks relate solely to a cause of

action for which legal fees are not recoverable, the claimant must segregate the

fees.”). Since Mikkelsen’s contract claim was decided on summary judgment in

2011—almost four years before trial—time and expenses incurred after that claim

was decided as a matter of law cannot have “advanced” that claim, and thus

Mikkelsen’s contract claim is not “inextricably intertwined” with his tort claims that

proceeded to trial. When Mikkelsen’s contract claim was decided as a matter of law

in 2011, Mikkelsen had incurred less than $50,000 in attorneys’ fees litigating this

case. See 12RR, PX-50. While it is possible that 80% of those fees were spent

pursuing the contract claim (which would comport with the “audit-like” review of

Mikkelsen’s invoices, see 10RR 180:12-183:24), that same percentage cannot hold

for the remaining fees that Mikkelsen incurred from 2011 through trial, almost four

years after the contract claim was decided on summary judgment. Indeed, even a

cursory review of Mikkelsen’s invoices demonstrates that the fees and expenses

incurred after 2011 did not relate to the breach of contract claim. See, e.g., 12RR,


                                         46
PX-50 at MIK0087 (time entries for motion to compel not related to breach of

contract claim); id. at MIK0107-0108 (time entries related to Defendants’ Third

Motion for Summary Judgment on tort claims only).17

       In sum, Mikkelsen failed to segregate his fees properly, and the record

demonstrates that the fee award is unsupported by legally or factually sufficient

evidence. Under Tony Gullo, should this Court affirm the trial court’s finding on

Mikkelsen’s breach of contract claim, it must reverse the fee award and remand for a

new trial on that issue.

       C.      Defendants Are Entitled to Their Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees Spent
               Pursuing Their Declaratory Judgment Claim.
       As explained, the trial court erred in denying Defendants’ declaratory

judgment claim on the 2013 redemption and tender. See supra Section II.B.2. Under

Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 37.009, Defendants are entitled to their reasonable

and necessary attorneys’ fees spent pursuing this claim—specifically, $5,500 in

reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees through trial plus $12,500 in conditional


17
   To the extent Mikkelsen asserts that his fee award is based on the cross-declaratory judgment
claims as well as the contract claim, that argument is belied by the record. See 10RR 55:17-19
(asserting that 80% of the time is “tied with the contract claim”). Further, even if Mikkelsen’s fee
claim relates to his cross-declaratory judgment claim as well, Mikkelsen never accounted for the
large gap of time between when the contract claim was decided on summary judgment in 2011 and
when he pleaded his cross-declaratory judgment claim in 2015. See 2CR158. While Mikkelsen
may attempt to claim that the fees he incurred defending against Defendants’ declaratory judgment
are rightfully included in a fee award, it is telling that Defendants sought only $5,500 in fees based
on that claim. 10RR 186:25-191:6. Finally, Mikkelsen fails to account for the fact that several time
entries on his attorneys’ invoices from late 2013 through trial had nothing to do with the contract
claim or cross-declaratory judgment claims. See, e.g., PX-50 at MIK0107-0108.


                                                 47
appellate fees. See 10RR 186:25-191:6. Accordingly, if this Court agrees with

Defendants that the 2013 redemption and tender are valid, then it should award

Defendants the attorneys’ fees they spent pursuing their declaratory judgment claim,

or alternatively, remand for further proceedings on these fees.

V.    To the Extent the Court Does Not Render Judgment in Favor of
      Defendants, a New Trial Also Is Warranted Because the Trial Court
      Impermissibly Commented on the Weight of the Evidence When It
      Instructed the Jury That Herring Bancorp Had Breached its Articles of
      Incorporation as a Matter of Law.
      As Defendants have argued, judgment should be rendered in their favor on all

of the issues raised in this appeal. All of Defendants’ arguments about new trial and

remand are alternative arguments and apply only if the Court finds that it cannot

render judgment in Defendants’ favor. To the extent the Court finds that Defendants

are not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the contract or tort claims, a new

trial also is required given the trial court’s prejudicial comment on the weight of the

evidence in its jury instructions.

      As noted, Mikkelsen presented this case to the jury as a breach-of-contract

dispute. See supra Facts Section V. Yet, when the jury received its instructions, the

trial court erred and abused its discretion and told the jury that it already had

determined the breach-of-contract claim as a matter of law in Mikkelsen’s favor. Ex.

2 at 7 (“You are instructed that the Court has previously determined, as a matter of

law, that Defendant Herring failed to comply with the Articles of Incorporation of


                                          48
Herring Bancorp when it purported to involuntarily redeem Mikkelsen’s preferred

shares in 2006.”). The trial court gave this instruction over repeated objections, see

8RR 203:20-220:8; 11RR 9:22-13:11; 2CR259, and this prejudicial statement

infected the jury charge with error and probably caused the rendition of an improper

judgment. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 277; Redwine v. AAA Life Ins. Co., 852 S.W.2d 10, 14

(Tex. App.—Dallas 1993, no writ) (“Reversal is required if an improper comment

on the weight of the evidence is one that was calculated to cause and probably did

cause the rendition of an improper judgment.”); Seymore v. Dorsett, No.

07-03-0175-CV, 2005 WL 2849061, at *3 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Oct. 31, 2005, no

pet.).

         Several appellate courts have reversed judgments where the trial court gave

similar “instructions” that amounted to improper comments on the weight of the

evidence. For example, in Redwine, the Dallas Court of Appeals explicitly held that,

“[a]lthough the assumption of an uncontroverted fact in the jury charge is generally

not held to be a comment on the weight of the evidence, we cannot conclude that the

instructions given in the instant case concerning issues decided as a matter of law . . .

were not comments on the weight of the evidence.” 852 S.W.2d at 16. In reaching

this conclusion, the Redwine court reviewed the holdings of other courts of appeals

and noted that those “courts held that jury instructions concerning issues decided as

a matter of law were improper comments on the weight of the evidence because they


                                           49
suggested to the jury how the remaining issues should be resolved.” Id. Similarly, in

American Bankers Insurance Co. v. Caruth, 786 S.W.2d 427 (Tex. App.—Dallas

1990, no writ), the court held that instructing the jury about a prior ruling was an

improper comment on the weight of the evidence, was not “helpful to the jury in

answering any of the questions in the court’s charge,” and “tended to imply to the

jury that the trial judge thought the law and the facts were in favor” of one party over

the other. Id. at 435; see also First Nat’l Bank of Amarillo v. Jarnigan, 794 S.W.2d

54, 61-62 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 1990, writ denied) (“[A]nything which does not aid

the jury in answering the jury questions submitted . . . must be excluded from the

charge.”); Mader v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 683 S.W.2d 731, 733 (Tex.

App.—Corpus Christi 1984, no writ) (“The trial court, in effect, informed the jury

on a finding which it had made as a matter of law. This was error. . . . [W]e believe

that the instruction strongly suggested to the jury that [it] should answer the

accompanying issue [in favor of one party] . . . . We can see no useful purpose for the

instruction other than to steer the jury . . . . As such, we find that the instruction was

an impermissible comment on the evidence . . . .”); Bd. of Regents v. Denton Constr.,

652 S.W.2d 588, 594-95 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1983, writ ref’d n.r.e.) (“We are at

a loss to determine why this instruction was included in the charge. . . . [T]his

instruction was not explanatory of anything, except that the court had [made a

ruling] as a matter of law . . . . We think this tended to imply to the jury that the court


                                            50
thought the law and the facts were with the appellee, and as such, the instruction was

erroneously prejudicial.”).

      These cases demonstrate that comments about prior rulings do not aid the jury

and can improperly influence the jury’s deliberations. That is especially true where,

as here, Mikkelsen framed the trial such that the breach-of-contract claim was the

focus. See 7RR 16:12-14 (“[T]his case is about the breach of a covenant.”); 7RR

22:2-5 (“If they had been all redeemed, we would not be here today because that

complied with the covenant, the Articles of Incorporation.”); 11RR 32:23-34:2 (“I

told you in our opening that I believe the evidence would show that the covenant, the

Articles of Incorporation had been broken . . . . Now, in our closing arguments, this

is our chance to summarize for you what we think the evidence has shown. . . . First

and foremost in this charge, on page seven, is the following: Finding by the Court

that the Articles of Incorporation were violated.”). Indeed, where the entire trial is

framed as a question about whether the Articles of Incorporation were breached, and

then the Court instructs the jury that it previously found that the Articles were

breached, it is difficult to imagine a more prejudicial instruction. This erroneous

instruction likely had spillover effects and affected the jury’s deliberations regarding

the minority oppression and breach of fiduciary duty claims (despite the trial court’s

addition that “failure to comply with the Articles of Incorporation, standing alone, is




                                          51
not sufficient to constitute minority oppression or breach of fiduciary duty”). Ex. 2

at 7.

        The trial court’s instruction regarding its prior ruling on Mikkelsen’s

summary judgment motion was erroneous and likely caused the rendition of an

improper judgment. To the extent the Court determines that it cannot render

judgment in Defendants’ favor, the Court should reverse the Final Judgment and

remand for a new trial for this additional reason.

                              CONCLUSION AND PRAYER
        For the reasons stated, Defendants respectfully pray that this Court reverse the

trial court’s Final Judgment and render judgment in favor of Defendants.

Alternatively, Defendants respectfully pray that this Court reverse the Final

Judgment insofar as it awards Mikkelsen relief and remand the case for a new trial to

resolve any disputed fact issues. Defendants also pray for any further relief to which

they are justly entitled.

                                              CHARGE TO THE JURY

          LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY:

                  This case is submitted to you by asking questions about the facts, which you must decide

          from the evidence you have heard in this trial. You are the sole judges of the credibility of the

          witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony, but in matters of law, you must be governed

          by the instructions in this charge. In discharging your responsibility on this jury, you will observe

          all the instructions which have previously been given you. I shall now give you additional

           instructions which you should carefully and strictly follow during your deliberations.

                                                            I.

                  Do not let bias, prejudice or sympathy play any part in your deliberations.

                                                            II.

                  In arriving at your answers, consider only the evidence introduced here under oath and such

           exhibits, if any, as have been introduced for your consideration under the rulings of the Court; that

           is, what you have seen and heard in this courtroom, together with the law as given you by the Court.




           CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                   PAGE 1 OF 30

                                                           228
229229229229229




          In your deliberations, you will not consider or discuss anything that is not represented by the

          evidence in this case.

                                                           HI.

                  Since every answer that is required by the charge is important, no juror should state or

          consider that any required answer is not important.

                                                            IV.

                  You must not decide who you think should win, and then try to answer the questions

          accordingly. Simply answer the questions, and do not discuss nor concern yourselves with the effect

          of your answers.

                                                            V.

                  You will not decide the answer to a question by lot or by drawing straws, or by any other

           method of chance. Do not return a quotient verdict. A quotient verdict means that the jurors agree

          to abide by the result to be reached by adding together each juror's figure and dividing by the number

          of jurors to get an average. Do not do any trading on your answers; that is, one juror should not

           agree to answer a certain question one way if others will agree to answer another question another

           way.

                                                            VI.

                  You may render your verdict upon the vote of ten or more members of the jury. The same

           ten or more of you must agree upon all of the answers made and to the entire verdict. You will not,

           therefore, enter into an agreement to be bound by a majority or any other vote of less than ten jurors.

           If the verdict and all of the answers therein are reached by unanimous agreement, the presiding juror

           shall sign the verdict for the entire jury. If any juror disagrees as to any answer made by the verdict,




           CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                     PAGE 2 OF 30

                                                            229
230230230230230




          those jurors who agree to all findings shall each sign the verdict.

                                                           VII.

                  These instructions are given to you because your conduct is subject to review the same as that

          of the witnesses, parties, attorneys and the judge. If it should be found that you have disregarded any

          of these instructions, it will be jury misconduct and it may require another trial by another jury; then

          all of our time will have been wasted.

                                                           VIII.

                  The presiding juror or any other who observes a violation of the Court's instructions shall

          immediately warn the one who is violating the same and caution the juror not to do so again.

                                                            IX.

                  When words are used in this charge in a sense which varies from the commonly understood

          meaning, you are given a proper legal definition, which you are bound to accept in place of any other

          meaning.

                                                             X.

                  Answer by checking "Yes" or "No" to all questions unless otherwise instructed. A "Yes"

          answer must be based on a preponderance of the evidence. If you do not find that a preponderance

          of the evidence supports a "Yes" answer, then answer "No." If the question directs you to give an

          answer other than "Yes" or "No," you must still base your answers on a preponderance of the

          evidence with respect to each matter inquired about in the question. Preponderance of the evidence

          means the greater weight and degree of credible testimony or evidence introduced before you and

          admitted in evidence in this case.

                                                            XI.




          CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                      PAGE 3 OF 30

231231231231231




                  After you retire to the jury room, you will select your own presiding juror. The first thing

         the presiding juror will do is to have this complete charge read aloud together with the accompanying

         instructions and then you will deliberate upon your answers to the questions asked in the verdict

         form. It is the duty of the presiding juror to:

                  (1)    Preside during your deliberations.

                  (2)    See that your deliberations are conducted in an orderly manner and in accordance with

          the instructions in this charge.

                  (3)     Write out and hand to the bailiff any communications concerning the case that you

          desire to have delivered to the Judge.

                  (4)     Conduct voting on each question.

                  (5)     Write your answers to the questions in the spaces provided.

                  (6)     Certify to your verdict in the space provided for the presiding juror's signature, or to

          obtain the signatures of all the jurors who agree with the verdict if your verdict is less than

          unanimous.

                                                            XII.

                  You should not discuss the case with anyone, not even with other members of the jury, unless

          all of you are present and assembled in the jury room. Should anyone attempt to talk to you about

          the case before the verdict is returned, whether at the courthouse, or your home, or elsewhere, please

          inform the Judge of this fact.

                                                           XIII.

                  When you have answered all the questions you are required to answer under the instructions

          of the Judge and your presiding juror has placed your answers in the spaces provided and signed the

          verdict as presiding juror or obtained the signatures, you will inform the bailiff at the door of the jury




          CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                       PAGE 4 OF 30

                                      DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS

                  You are instructed that when words are used in the Questions in a sense which varies from

          the meaning commonly understood, you will be given in this Charge a proper legal definition which

          you are bound to accept in the place of any other definition or meaning. In answering the Questions

          you shall give the following terms the following meanings:

                  1.     The term "preponderance of the evidence" means the greater weight of credible

          evidence presented in this case. If you do not find that a preponderance of the evidence supports a

          "yes" answer, then answer "no." A preponderance of the evidence is not measured by the number

          of witnesses or by the number of documents admitted in evidence. For a fact to be proved by a

          preponderance of the evidence, you must find that the fact is more likely true than not true. A fact

          may be established by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence, or both. A fact is established

          by direct evidence when proved by documentary evidence or by witnesses who saw the act done or

          heard the words spoken. A fact is established by circumstantial evidence when it may be fairly and

          reasonably inferred from other facts proved.

                  2.     A fact may be established by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence or both.

          A fact is established by direct evidence when proved by documentary evidence or by witnesses who

          saw the act done or heard the words spoken. A fact is established by circumstantial evidence when

          it may be fairly and reasonably inferred from other facts proved.

                  3.     "Mikkelsen" means PlaintiffJohn Mikkelsen, acting solely in his capacity as Trustee

          of the John Mikkelsen Trust and his agents, attorneys, and representatives acting in the course and

          scope of their agency or employment.




          CHARGE TO THE JURY                                                                  PAGE 6 OF 30

234234234234234




                  4.    "Herring Bancorp" means Herring Bancorp, Inc., and its agents, attorneys, employees,

         officers, directors, and representatives acting in the course and scope of their agency or employment.

                  5.    "C.C. Burgess" means C.C. Burgess and his agents, attorneys, and representatives

         acting in the course and scope of their agency or employment.

                  6.    "Campbell Burgess" means C. Campbell Burgess and his agents, attorneys, and

         representatives acting in the course and scope of their agency or employment.

                  7.    The "Articles of Incorporation" means and refers to the Articles of Incorporation of

         Herring (Plaintiff's Exhibit "2").


                  INSTRUCTION REGARDING BREACH OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                  You are instructed that the Court has previously determined, as a matter of law, that

         Defendant Herring failed to comply with the Articles of Incorporation of Herring Bancorp when it

          purported to involuntarily redeem Mikkelsen's preferred shares in 2006. However, this failure to

          comply with the Articles of Incorporation, standing alone, is not sufficient to constitute minority

          oppression or breach of fiduciary duty.

                                                  QUESTION NO 1:

                  What is a reasonable fee for the necessary services of Mikkelsen's attorney in connection

         with the failure of Herring Bancorp to comply with the Articles of Incorporation?

                  In answering this Question, you are to consider the attorney's fees and expenses incurred and

         reasonably anticipated to be incurred by Mikkelsen in enforcing his rights in this action and any

         appeal thereof. In determining the amount of attorney's fees and expenses, you are to consider the

         following:

                  •   the time and labor involved, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the

                      skill required to perform the legal services properly;

                  • the likelihood that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other

                      employment by the lawyer;

                  • the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services;

                  •   the amount involved and the results obtained;

                  •   the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances;

                  •   the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client;

                  • the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services;

                      and

                  •   whether the fee is fixed or contingent on results obtained or uncertainty of collection

                      before the legal services have been rendered.

                 Plaintiff's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment ("Plaintiff's Motion") and Defendants'

         Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment ("Defendants' Motion") came on for hearing on April 18,

         2011. The Court finds Plaintiffs Motion was timely filed and that notice of Plaintiff's Motion

         and the hearing thereon was duly and properly given. The Court also finds that Defendants'

         Motion Was timely filed and served by agreement of the parties, and hereby grants leave to file

         and serve the Motion on less than 21-days' notice prior to the hearing. The Court also finds that

         Plaintiffs Response to Defendants' Motion was timely filed and served by agreement of the

         parties, and hereby grants Plaintiff leave to file and serve the Response and the evidence attached

         thereto, including discovery products, within seven days of the hearing. After considering

         Plaintiff's Motion and the Response thereto, and after considering Defendants' Motion and the

         Response thereto, and after considering the admissible summary judgment evidence and the

         arguments of counsel, the Court finds that Plaintiff's Motion should be granted and Defendants'

         Motion should be denied.

         300 shares of preferred stock of Herring Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was undertaken in

         violation of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and is void and (2) that Plaintiff is, and

         continues to be, the holder of 300 shares of the Company's preferred stock, and has all the rights

         appurtenant thereto, including the right to inspec the Company's books and records.

       I, the undersigned natural person of the age of eighteen (18) years or more,
acting as an incorporator of a corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation")
under the Texas Business Corporation Act, do hereby adopt the following
Articles of Incorporation for the Corporation:


                             ARTICLE ONE: NAME

       The name of the Corporation is Herring Bancorp, Inc.


                          ARTICLE TWO: DURATION

       The Corporation's period of duration is perpetuaL


                          ARTICLE THREE: PURPOSE

       The purpose or purposes for which the Corporation is organized are:

       (a)    To act as a bank holding company;

       (b)    To transact any and all lawful business for which corporations may
              be incorporated under the Texas Business Corporation Act;

       (c)   To do each and every thing necessary, suitable, or proper for the
             accomplishment of any of the purposes or for the attainment of
             any one or more of the objects herein enumerated or which at any
             time appear conducive to or expedient for the protection or benefit
             of the Corporation.
      The foregoing clauses shall be construed as powers as well as objects and
purposes, and the matter expressed in each clause shall, unless herein otherWise
expressly provided, be in nowise limited by reference to or inference from the
terms of any other clause, but shall be regarded as independent objects, purposes
and powers, and shall not be construed to limit or restrict in any manner the
meaning of the general terms or the general powers of the Corporation.

                            ARTICLE FOUR: STOCK

      The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be
designated respectively "preferred" and "common." The total number of shares
which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 125,000 shares. The number of




                                                                                       HERR 000075
preferred shares authorized is 25,000 shares, and the par value of each such
share is $95.00. The number of common shares authorized is 100,000 shares, and
the par value of each such share is $20.00.
      (a)    The holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled to receive
             dividends, out of any funds legally available therefor, at the rate of
             ten percent (10.0%) per annum of the par value thereof, and no
             more, payable in cash semi-annually, or at such intervals as the
             Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Such
             dividends shall accrue from the date of issuance of the respective
             preferred shares and shall be deemed to accrue from day to day
             whether or not earned or declared.
             Such dividends shall be payable before any dividends shall be paid,
             declared, or set apart for the common shares, and shall be
             cumulative so that if for any dividend period such dividends on the
             outstanding preferred shares at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per
             annum of the par value thereof are not paid or declared and set
             apart therefor, the deficiency shall be fully paid or declared and
             set apart for payment, without interest, before any distribution, by
             dividend or otherwise, shall be paid on, declared, or set apart for
             the common shares.
      (b)    On any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Corporation, the
             holders of the preferred shares shall receive an amount equal to
             the par value of such shares plus any dividends declared and unpaid
             thereon, and no more, before any amount shall be paid to the
             holders of the common shares. If the assets of the Corporation
             should be insufficient to permit payment to the preferred share-
             holders of their full preferential amounts as herein provided, then
             such assets shall be distributed ratably among the outstanding
             preferred shares. Subject to such preferential rights, the holders
             of the common shares shall receive, ratably, all remaining assets of
             the Corporation. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation
             with or into any other corporation or a sale of all or substantially
             all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed a
             liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation within the
             meaning of this paragraph.
      (c)    The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors, may at
             any time redeem the whole, or from time to time redeem any part,
             of the preferred shares outstanding by paying in cash therefor the
             sum of $95.00 per share, plus all dividends declared but unpaid
             thereon as provided in this Article Four to and including the date
             of redemption, hereinafter referred to as the "redemptive price,"
             and by giving to each preferred shareholder of record at his last
             known address, as shown on the records of the Corporation, at least
             twenty (20), but not more than fifty (50), days' prior notice
             personally or in writing, by mail, postage prepaid, stating the class
             or series or part of the class or series of shares to be redeemed and

                                                                                  HERR 000076
      the date and plan of redemption, the redemptive price, and the
      place where the shareholders may obtain payment of the redemp-
      tive price on surrender of their respective share certificates,
      hereinafter called the "redemption notice." Should only a part of
      the outstanding preferred shares be redeemed, such redemption
      shall be effected by lot, or pro rata, as prescribed by the Board of
      Directors. On or after the date fixed for redemption, each holder
      of shares called for redemption shall surrender his certificate for
      such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in the
      redemption notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive
      payment of the redemptive price. Should less than all the shares
      represented by any surrendered certificate be redeemed, a new
      certificate for the unredeemed shares shall be issued. If the
      redemption notice is duly given and if sufficient funds are available
      therefor on the date fixed for redemption, then, whether or not the
      certificates evidencing the shares to be redeemed are surrendered,
      all rights with respect to such shares shall terminate on the date
      fixed for redemption, except for the right of the holders to receive
      the redemption price, without interest, on surrender of their
      certificate therefor.
(d)   If, on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of preferred shares
      as herein provided, the Corporation deposits with any bank or trust
      company in Texas, or any bank or trust company in the United
      States duly appointing and acting as transfer agent for the Cor-
      poration, as a trust fund, a sum sufficient to redeem, on the date
      fixed for redemption thereof, the shares called for redemption,
      with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust
      company to publish the notice of redemption thereof, or to
      complete such publication if theretofore commenced, and to pay,
      on and after the date fixed for redemption or prior thereto, the
      redemptive price of the shares to their respective holders on
      surrender of their share certificates, then from and after the date
      of the deposit, even though such date may be prior to the date
      fixed for redemption, the shares so called shall be deemed to be
      redeemed and dividends on those shares shall cease to accrue after
      the date fixed for redemption. The deposit shall be deemed to
      constitute full payment of the shares to their holders and from and
      after the date of the deposit, the shares shall be deemed to be no
      longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be
      shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights
      with respect thereto, except the right to receive from the bank or
      trust company payment of the redemptive price of the shares,
      without interest, on surrender of their certificates therefor.
(e)   Shares redeemed by the Corporation shall be restored to the status
      of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation.
(f)   Except where otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation
      or by law, the holders of the common shares shall have the

             exclusive voting rights and powers, including the exclusive right to
             notice of shareholders' meetings.

                ARTICLE FIVE: PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS DENIED
       No holder of any shares of common stock or preferred stock shall have
any preemptive or preferential right to receive, purchase, or subscribe to (a) any
unissued or treasury shares of any class of stock (whether now or hereafter
authorized) of the Corporation, (b) any obligations, evidences of indebtedness, or
other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for, or
carrying or accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase, or subscribe to, any
such unissued or treasury shares, (c) any right of subscription to or right to
receive, or any warrant or option for the purchase of, any of the foregoing
securities, or (d) any other securities that may be issued or sold by the
Corporation.

                    ARTICLE SIX: COMMENCING BUSINESS
       The Corporation will not commence business until it has received con-
sideration for the issuance of its shares amounting to One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00) in value and consisting of money, labor done, or property actually
received.

                   ARTICLE SEVEN: CUMULATIVE VOTING
       Cumulative voting for the election of directors is prohibited.

                           ARTICLE EIGHT: VOTING
      Except where otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation or the
bylaws of the Corporation, the holders of the common stock shall have the
exclusive voting rights and powers, including the exclusive right to notice of
shareholders' meetings.

                    ARTICLE NINE: ADOPTION OF BYLAWS
       The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall adopt the initial bylaws of
the Corporation and may thereafter alter, amend, or repeal the bylaws of the
Corporation or may adopt new bylaws, subject to the shareholders' concurrent
right to alter, amend, or repeal the bylaws or to adopt new bylaws. The
shareholders may provide that any or all bylaws altered, amended, repealed, or
adopted by the shareholders shall not be altered, amended, reenacted, or
repealed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

                     ARTICLE TEN: INTERESTED PARTIES

       A contract or transaction between the Corporation and any other Person
(as used herein the term "Person" means an individual, firm, trust, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation, political subdivision or instrumentality,
or other entity) shall not be affected or invalidated by the fact that (a) any
director, officer, or security holder of the Corporation is also a party to, or has a
direct or indirect interest in, such contract or transaction; or (b) any director,
officer, or security holder of the Corporation is in any way connected with such
other Person or with any of its officers or directors.
       Every person who may become a director of the Corporation is hereby
relieved from any liability that might otherwise exist from contracting with the
Corporation for the benefit of himself or of any Person in which he has any
interest, whether or not the interested director's presence at a meeting or his
vote or votes were necessary to obligate the Corporation in such transaction, if
such interest shall have been disclosed to, or known to, the Corporation's
directors or shareholders who shall have approved such transaction.

                     ARTICLE ELEVEN: INDEMNIFICATION

        Section A. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened with being made a party to any threatened, pending, or
completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative (all such actions, suits, and proceedings and accompanying modi-
fiers being comprehended by the term "Proceeding") (excluding actions by, or in
the right of, the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another Person. Such
indemnification may be made only against those expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if (i) he is successful
on the merits or otherwise; or (ii) he acted in the transaction which is the subject
of the Proceeding in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal Proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest
of the Corporation, nor, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that he had

       Section B. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened with being made a party to a Proceeding by or in the right
of the Corporation by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another Person. Such indemnification
may be made against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably

Proceeding if (1) he is successful on the merits or otherwise; or (ii) he acted in
the transaction which is the subject of the Proceeding in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the
Corporation. However, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim,
issue, or matter in relation to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing exception, indemnification may be
made to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view
of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification for such expenses as the court of appropriate jurisdiction shall
deem proper.

       Section C. Any indemnification under Section A or Section B of this
Article (other than one ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation only
upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
such Section. Such determination shall be made by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
Proceeding; or, if such a quorum is not obtainable (or, even if obtainable, if a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs), by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or by the shareholders of the Corporation; or through such
procedures as shall be authorized in the bylaws of the Corporation.
      Section D. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal Proceeding
may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
Proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors or other appropriate body or
party in the manner provided in Section C of this Article only when the
Corporation has received an undertaking by or on behalf of the person who is to
receive such payment to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
authorized in this Article.
       Section E. In determining whether the standard of conduct set forth in
Section A or Section B has been met, it may be determined that a person has met
the standard as to some matters but not as to others, and the amount of
indemnification may be accordingly prorated.
      Section F. The indemnification provided by Sections A through E shall not
be exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise.
      Section G. The indemnification provided by Sections A through E shall
inure to the heirs, executors, and administrators of any person entitled to
indemnification under this Article.
       Section H. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on any
person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of

                                        Ae you know on July 26, 2006, our Board approved taking the
                                necessary acts for the Company to become an "S corporgon" under the
                                Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to become eligible
                                to reeve the Subchapter S election, the Company is. 9nly allowed to have
                                one class of outstanding capital stock, and voting rights between shares of

                                one bass of stock. At the current time, the Company has a number of
                                outstanding classes of stock, which include your Preferred Stock shares, as

                                "Nonvoting Shares"). Therefore, we must currently consolidate our
                                Nonvoting Shares into one class_ The Class A Nonvoting Common Stock
                                and the Class B Nonvoting Common Stock will be allowed to exchange
                                their shares for Common Stoek-Sefies A, and the Class A-Series 2

                                Series A (the "Common Stook-Series A") or to have their s_res

                                the Board offered the Preferred Stock shareholders the option to exchange
