                                           STATEMENT OF FACTS

         On September 4, 2014, Petitioner was unlawfully arrested, unlawful searched and had his

property seized unlawfully by officers of/for the NEW BRAUNFELS POLICE DEPARTMENT

(NBPD).

         On September 12, 2014, Petitioner was coerced into signing a “PR BOND” (Apx. Tab B)

displaying an incorrect address for Petitioner. Petitioner was coerced in that the jailer whom

presented the “PR BOND” threatened to leave Petitioner in jail for another two weeks if he

refused to sign. Petitioner signed the “PR BOND” in order to expedite his release from his

unlawful imprisonment, as Petitioner could inform the trial court that the address displayed on

the “PR BOND” is incorrect and provide it with a correct one for purposes of service of notice or

any other correspondences.

         On September 29, 2014, via letter (Apx. Tab C), Petitioner informed the trial court that it

had an incorrect address for Petitioner on file and provided it with both Petitioner's current

location and address to which notices of any hearings or any other correspondences should be

sent to in order for him to receive them.

         On March 3, 2015, Petitioner began checking the online records for the trial court

because he had received no correspondences or notices of hearings. On that same day, Petitioner

discovered via online records that the trial court had failed or neglected to correct the incorrect

address it had on file (Apx. Tab D), that a “COMPLAINT (OCA)” (Apx. Tab E) and a

“NOTICE RETURNED” (Notice) (Apx. Tab F) had been filed into the trial court on December

15, 2014 and January 26, 2015, respectively, and than an “Arraignment” (see Apx. Tab D) had

taken      place        circa   February    3,   2015.   Petitioner   further   discovered   than    an

“AFFIDAVIT/FAILURE TO APPEAR” (Apx. Tab G), an “ORDER FOR ARREST-FAILURE

In re Jason Childress                                                                        Page 1 of 18
TO APPEAR” (Order) (Apx. Tab H) and a “CAPIAS-FAILURE TO APPEAR” (Capias) (Apx.

Tab I) had also been filed into the trial court on February 20, 2015, February 26, 2015, and

March 2, 2015, respectively.

                                              ARGUMENT

          “A [petitioner] may use a pretrial writ of habeas corpus only in very limited
          circumstances. First, the accused may challenge the State's power to restrain him
          at all. Second, the accused may challenge the manner of his pretrial restraint [].
          Third, the accused may raise certain issues which, if meritorious, would bar
          prosecution or conviction. Ex parte Smith, 178 S.W.3d 797 (2005).

                                      I. POWER TO RESTRAIN

         The trial court is without subject matter, personal, political or civil contractual

jurisdiction over the underlying cause to the instance case, therefore, is without power to restrain

Petitioner. The lack of the aforementioned jurisdictions are set forth, challenged, and explained

in    further       detailed   in   Petitioner's   “AFFIDAVIT      OF   COUNTERCOMPLAINT,”

(Countercomplaint) (see Apx. Tab K) attached hereto and incorporated herein it its entirety for

all purposes. The lack of the aforementioned jurisdictions are set out and explained in detail

specifically in Sections IV. – VIII. of Petitioner's Countercomplaint (Apx. Tab K). Petitioner's

averments have been received by all involved and interested parties, evidenced by Return

Receipts (see Apx. Tab N, O, P, & Q) attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes

and said Receipts have been filed into the trial court's record. Petitioner's sworn averments within

his Countercomplaint are unchallenged, unrebutted and unrefutted, and pursuant to the Doctrine

of Acquiescence, silence by the involved and interested parties constitutes their agreement with

Petitioner's sworn averments.

                                        Doctrine of Acquiescence

          Under the Doctrine of Acquiescence as well as the Maxim in Law which states

In re Jason Childress                                                                     Page 2 of 18
          that “silence shows consent” 6 Barb. [N.Y.] 2B, 35. Qui non negat, fatetur and
          “He who does not deny, agrees,” (Trayner, Maxim 503), the Appellee’s silence
          constituted their agreement with the Appellants’ arbitration proposal terms and
          conditions under the legal Doctrine of Tacit Procuration.

          The common law doctrine of estoppel by acquiescence is applied when one party
          gives legal notice to a second party of a fact or claim, and the second party fails to
          challenge or refute that claim within a reasonable time. The second party is said to
          have acquiesced to the claim, and is estopped from later challenging it, or making
          a counterclaim. The doctrine is similar to, and often applied with, estoppel by
          laches

          This occurred in the second Georgia v. South Carolina1 case before the U.S.
          Supreme Court in 1990, when it was ruled that Georgia could no longer make any
          claim to an island in the Savannah River, despite the 1787 Treaty of Beaufort's
          assignment to the contrary. The court said that the state had knowingly allowed
          South Carolina to join the island as a peninsula to its own coast by dumping sand
          from dredging, and to then levy property taxes on it for decades. Georgia thereby
          lost the island-turned-peninsula by its own acquiescence, even though the treaty
          had given it all of the islands in the river (see adverse possession

          Silence is acquiescence (aka. silent acquiescence and acquiescence by silence) is a
          related doctrine that can mean, and have the legal effect, that when confronted
          with a wrong or an act that can be considered a tortuous act, where one’s silence
          may mean that one accepts or permits such acts without protest or claim thereby
          loses rights to a claim of any loss or damage.2

         Further, pursuant to the Doctrine of Stare Decisis, Petitioner's “...unchallenged averments

are accepted as true.” DeLeon v. Periman, 530 S.W.2d 174 (Tex.App.-Amarillo (1975)); quoting

Hidalgo County Water Improvement District No.2 v. Blalock, 157 Tex. 206, 301 S.W.2d 593, 596

(1957). Petitioner's averments that the trial court is without jurisdiction have been agreed to by

all involved and interested parties and are accepted as true under Texas Common Law. In

absence of the subject matter, personal, political and civil contractual jurisdiction, the trial court

is without power to restrain Petitioner in relation to the underlying case to the instant case.

                                    II. MANNER OF RESTRAINT

1 Georgia v. South Carolina - 497 U.S. 376 (1990)
2 U.S. Supreme Court Central Pacific Railway Co. v. Alameda County, 284 U.S. 463 (1932)

In re Jason Childress                                                                        Page 3 of 18
         Even if the trial court had jurisdiction over the underlying cause to the instant case and

power to restrain Petitioner, the manner in which his restraint has taken place has clearly

manifested through a denial of due process, in that Petitioner was not provided notice of the

hearing from which his restraint stems from.

         An Order (Apx. Tab H) for “FAILURE TO APPEAR” was issued by Respondent on

February 26, 2015. On March 2, 2015, the Clerk or a deputy therefor, of/for the trial court issued

a Capias (Apx. Tab I) for Petitioner. “Issuance of a capias is a sufficient restraint of liberty to

justify habeas corpus relief.” In re Aguilera, 37 S.W.3d. 43, 47 (Tex.App.-El Paso 2000, no pet.)

As of yet, Petitioner has not been taken taken into custody pursuant to Order and Capias.

         “A habeas corpus petition is a collateral attack on a judgment, the purpose of which is not

to determine the final guilt or innocence of the [petitioner], but to ascertain whether the

[petitioner] has been [restrained] unlawfully. Ex parte Gordon, 584 S.W.2d. 686, 688 (Tex.

1979). The restraint of Petitioner by the trial court is unlawful due to the fact that the Order was

made and the Capias was issued in absence of due process. “A writ of habeas corpus will issue if

[] the court deprives the [petitioner] of liberty without due process of law.” In re Castro, 998

S.W.2d. 925, 927 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999. no pet.). A writ of habeas corpus is proper

and should issue due to the fact that Petitioner is being deprived of his liberty without due

process of law.

          “A [petitioner] bears the burden of showing that []he is entitled to relief.” Turner,
          177 S.W.3d at 288 (citing Occhipenti, 796 S.W.2d. At 808-09.)” IN RE BOURG,
          Tex: Court of Appeals, 1st Dist. 2008.

         The court administrator of/for the trial court erred by mailing the notice of the hearing

from which the Order and Capias stem to the wrong address even though the court had been

notified before the notice was sent, that the address it had on file was incorrect and had been

In re Jason Childress                                                                        Page 4 of 18
provided with, and was in possession of, Petitioner's exact location and correct address. “[T]he

trial court erred when it [] failed to send notice of the hearing to [Petitioner's] address on file

with the court.” Platt v. Platt, 991 S.W.2d. 481 (1999).

         Petitioner had notified the court via letter (see Apx. Tab C) sent on September 19, 2014,

which was received and filed into the trial court record on October 3, 2014, as a part of the

“MEMORANDUM (see Apx. Tab D) that the address it had on file (see Apx. Tab B and E) was

incorrect; that Petitioner had not lived at the incorrect address in a number of years; and, he

provided not only his current location– DALLAS COUNTY JAIL, but also the address to which

notice should be sent in order for him to receive it, if notice was not sent directly to the DALLAS

COUNTY JAIL.

         “[T]the law presumes that a trial court will hear a case only after proper notice to the

parties. To rebut this presumption, [petitioner] has the burden to affirmatively show a lack of

notice by affidavit or other competent evidence.” Bruneio v. Bruneio, 890 S.W.2d 150, 155

(Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1994, no writ). Petitioner has shown to the trial court, and now shows

this court, via affidavit (see Apx. Tab J, pg.5, #100. and Apx. Tab K, p.34 - 35, #77. - 78.) that

he was not provided notice of the hearing from which the Order and Capias stem. Further,

Petitioner provides this court with competent evidence (see Apx. Tab C & F) that he was not

provided notice of the hearing from which the Order and Capias stem.

         “In the instant case, the record shows that notice of [the] hearing [] was mailed to the

wrong address. That a document was mailed creates a rebuttable presumption that it was

received.” Platt v. Platt, 991 S.W.2d 481 (1999) quoting Thomas v. Ray, 889 S.W.2d 237, 238

(Tex.1994). Similarly, in the underlying cause to the instance case, the trial court's record shows

that notice was mailed to the wrong address (see Apx. Tab C & F). “When [Petitioner] filed [his]

In re Jason Childress                                                                    Page 5 of 18
affidavit stating that []he did not receive the notice, the presumption was rebutted.” (see Apx.

Tab K, p. 34 – 35, #77. – 78.) “The presumption of receipt is not evidence and vanishes when

opposing evidence is introduced showing that the notice was not received.” Cliff v. Huggins, 724

S.W.2d 778, 780 (Tex.1987).

          “The error and invalidity of the trial court's judgment affirmatively appears on the
          face of the record [see Apx. Tab D & F] in the that wrong address for [Petitioner]
          is typed on the notice []. Additionally, the records shows that [the trial court] had
          access to [Petitioner's] correct address [] [see Apx. Tab C]. Therefore, the notice
          was not sent to [Petitioner's] “last known address. Rozsa v. Jenkinson, 754
          S.W.2d. 507 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1988)

          “The [trial court] mailed notice of the pending [] proceeding, not to the jail
          facility [or the address provided by Petitioner], but to [an incorrect] address []
          listed in the records of the [trial court].” Robinson v. Hanrahan, 490 U.S. 38
          (1972) “[T]he manner of notice did not comport with the requirements of the Due
          Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (Id.) “The [trial court] knew that
          [petitioner] was not at the address to which notice was mailed and, moreover,
          knew also that [petitioner] could not get to that address since he [no longer lived
          there]. Under these circumstances, it cannot be said the the [trial court] made any
          effort to provide notice which was 'reasonably calculated” to apprise [petitioner]
          of the pendency of the [] proceedings.” (Id.)

         Either the Clerk or a deputy therefor, failed to correct the mistake in the court's files or

the court administrator intentionally sent notice to the wrong address.

          “The notice was returned undelivered to the trial court on [or about January 27,
          2015], with the notation “Return to Sender [Not Delivered As Addressed Unable
          To Forward (see Apx. Tab F)]” Withrow v. Schou, 13 S.W.3d. 37 (Tex.App.-
          Houston 1999). “[I]f [Petitioner] [had failed] to notify the clerk in writing of a
          [correct] address, [] then there is no 'due process' argument...” (Id.) “Federal
          courts have held in various contexts that mailing notice of settings by first-class
          mail is constitutionally sufficient as long as the government acts reasonable under
          the circumstances, even if the intended recipient of the notice never receives it.
          See In re Eagle Bus Mfg., 62 F.3d. 730, 735 (5th Cir. 1995)” (Id.) “There is
          imposed 'a responsibility on the [party] to be notified to keep the court and parties
          apprised of their correct and current address.'” [T]he record indicates [Petitioner]
          notified the court of [the correct] address.” (Id.)

         The trial court had been notified that the address it had on file (see Apx. Tab B) was


In re Jason Childress                                                                        Page 6 of 18
incorrect and it was in fact notified and in possession of the correct address (see Apx. Tab C) to

which service was to be made, therefore, Petitioner cannot be faulted and restrained in his liberty

for the mistakes or wrongs of the clerk or deputy therefor, or court administrator; Nemo punitur

pro alieno delicto. “No one is to be punished for the crime or wrong of another.”; Nullus

commodum capere potest de injuri su propri. “No one shall take advantage of his own wrong.

Co. Litt. 148.”' Ubicunque est injuria, ibi damnum sequitur. Where ever there is a wrong, there

damages follow. 10 Co. 116.” Petitioner has been denied due process in that he was not provided

notice of the hearing from which the Order and Capias stem.

          “It is clear that failure to give the petitioner notice of the pending proceedings
          violates the most rudimentary demands of due process of law. Many controversies
          have raged about the cryptic and abstract words of the Due Process Clause but
          there can be no doubt that at a minimum they require the deprivation of life,
          liberty, or property by adjudication be preceded by notice and opportunity for
          hearing appropriate to the nature of the case. Mullane v. Central Hanover Tr. Co.,
          339 U.S. 306, at 313.” Armstrong v. Manzo, 380 U.S. 5454 – Supreme Court
          1965.

         As has been stated and demonstrated by Petitioner herein, and the Appendices attached

hereto and incorporated herein, he has denied due process in that he was not given notice of the

hearing from which the Order and Capias stem. Further, even if Petitioner had received notice, it

does not set out the alleged misconduct with particularity specifically pertaining to the alleged

offense alleged to have been committed by Petitioner which made basis for his arrest and

creating an obligation to provide any information to the officers of/for the NBPD. In absence of

the alleged misconduct, even if Petitioner would have received the notice it would not have been

in compliance with due process requirements.

          “Notice, to comply with due process requirements, must be given sufficiently in
          advance of scheduled court proceedings so that reasonable opportunity to prepare
          will be afforded, and it must 'set forth the alleged misconduct with particularity.' ”

          of the sort we have described – that is, notice which would be deemed
          constitutionally adequate in a civil or criminal proceeding. It does not allow a
          hearing to be held in which [] freedom [is] at stake without giving [] timely
          notice, in advance of the hearing, of the specific issues that must be met. Nor, in
          the circumstances of this case, can it reasonable be said that the requirement of
          notice was waived. (Id.)

         Petitioner was neither given notice, nor afforded opportunity to present objections to the

allegation(s) made against him. Petitioner cannot be expected to be able object to allegations not

made known to him.

          “Service of process is the way in which the defendant gets notice of the claim
          against him and its allegations. The Supreme Court has held that due process
          requires “notice reasonably calculated, under the circumstances, to apprise the
          interested parties of the pendency of the action and afford them the opportunity to
          present their objections.” Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S.
          306, 314 (1950).

         As a result of Petitioner not being provided notice of the hearing from which the Order

and Capias stem, the Order is constitutionally infirm, invalid and null and void, likewise is the

Capias. Further, a failure to set forth the alleged misconduct with particularity in said notice (see

Apx. Tab F), the Order and Capias are constitutionally infirm, invalid and null and void.

          “'[U]nder our cases, a judgment entered without notice or service is
          constitutionally infirm.' An elementary and fundamental requirement of due
          process in any proceeding is notice reasonably calculated, under the
          circumstances, to apprise the interested parties of the pendency of the action and
          afford them the opportunity to present their objections.” Peralta v. Heights
          Medical Center, Inc., 485 U.S. 80 (1988)); quoting Mullane v. Central Hanover
          Bank & Trust Co. “Failure to give notice violates the most rudimentary demands
          of due process” (Id.)

         Petitioner was further denied due process in that he was denied the opportunity to be

heard, as a result of not being provided notice of the hearing from which the Order and Capias

stem. “A fundamental requirement of due process is the 'opportunity to be heard.” Grannis v.

Ordean, 234 U.S. 385, 394.

resulting from a failure to provide notice and to set forth therein with particularity the alleged

misconduct, resulting in the court failing to secure personal jurisdiction over Petitioner for

purposes of the hearing from which the Order and Capias stem. “[T]he position adopted by the

         As stated and demonstrated supra, and by the Appendices attached hereto, and by the

silence of all involved and interested parties thereto, the trial court is without jurisdiction over

the underlying cause to the instant case. Without jurisdiction, the trial court is without power to

hear the underlying cause to the instant case and the prosecutor for the state and,or county,

ABIGAIL WHITAKER (Whitaker), is barred form prosecution and conviction of Petitioner for

the criminal allegation and cause against him. Even if the trial court had jurisdiction, the

allegation made against Petitioner is inapplicable thereto, under the circumstances.

          (a) A “person” commits an offense if he intentionally refuses to give his name,

In re Jason Childress                                                                      Page 9 of 18
          residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has lawfully arrested the
          “person” and requested the information.

          (d) If it is shown on the trial of an offense under this section that the defendant
          was a “fugitive from justice” at the time of the offense, the offense is:
                   (1) a Class B misdemeanor if the offense is committed under Subsection
          (a); or

          T.P.C. Sec. 1.07. DEFINITIONS. (a) In this code:
          (38) "Person" means an individual, corporation, or association.

         The legal term “Person” falls under the following Doctrines of Statutory Interpretation

used by both the federal congress and state legislatures in drafting legislation, as well as the

federal and state judiciary departments to interpret legislation passed into law by the federal

congress and state legislatures:

          Ejusdem Generis: Of the same kind, class, or nature. In the construction of laws,
          wills, and other instruments, the "ejusdem generis rule" is, that where general
          words follow an enumeration of persons or things, by words of a particular and
          specific meaning, such general words are not to be construed in their widest
          extent, but are to be held as applying only to persons or things of the same general
          kind or class as those specifically mentioned. Black, Interp. of Laws, 141;
          Goldsmith v. U. S., C.C.A.N.Y., 42 F.2d 133, 137; Aleksich v. Industrial Accident
          Fund, 116 Mont. 69, 151 P.2d 1016, 1021. The rule, however, does not necessarily
          require that the general provision be limited in its scope to the identical things
          specifically named. Nor does it apply when the context manifests a contrary
          intention. The maxim "ejusdem generis," is only an illustration of the broader
          maxim, "noscitur a sod's." State v. Western Union Telegraph Co., 196 Ala. 570, 72
          So. 99, 100. Black's Law, 4th Ed.

          Noscitur a Sociis: It is known from its associates. 1 Vent. 225. The meaning of a
          word is or may be known from the accompanying words. 3 Term R. 87; Broom,
          Max. 588. Morecock v. Hood, 202 N.C. 321, 162 S.E. 730, 731; Louis Pizitz Dry
          Goods Co. v. Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Maryland, 223 Ala. 385, 136 So. 800,
          801. The doctrine means that general and specific words are associated with and
          take color from each other, restricting general words to sense analogous to less
          general. Dunham v. State, 140 Fla. 754, 192 So. 324, 325, 326. Black's Law, 4th

          persons or things are specified, in a law, contract, or will, an intention to exclude

          27, 170 S.E. 447, 448. Under this maxim, if statute specifies one exception to a
          general rule or assumes to specify the effects of a certain provision, other
          exceptions or effects are excluded, People v. One 1941 Ford 8 Stake Truck,

          Law, 4th Ed.

         Sec. 38.01. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:
         (5) "Fugitive from justice" means a person for whom a valid arrest warrant has been
         issued.

         As stated in Petitioners Countercomplaint (see Apx. Tab K pg.73 - 76, #168. - 171.), he

is not a “Person,” rather, he is a member of the people. Petitioner is neither a “Person,” nor was

he a “Fugitive from justice” and there is no evidence to the contrary.

         In order for Sec. 38.02 (a) to be applicable, a “person” must first be “lawfully arrested”

before the “person” is required to “give his name, residence address, or date of birth.” Petitioner

is not a “person,” even if he is or was at the time, he was not lawfully arrested as he had not

committed an offense classed as a felony or as an offense against the public peace, or any other

offense, in the presence or within view of any of the officers (see Tex. C. Crim. Proc., Art. 14.01

& 14.03) of/for the NBPD involved in Petitioner's unlawful arrest. In fact, when the officers

of/for the NBPD arrived, Petitioner was being assaulted (see Apx. Tab J). Without committing

the aforementioned offenses in the presence or within view of those officers, Petitioner's arrest

was unlawful. Being that Petitioner had committed no offense and was unlawfully arrested, he

was not required to provide any identifying information contemplated within Sec. 38.02 to any of

the officers of/for the NBPD involved in his unlawful arrest, therefore, Sec. 38.02 is inapplicable

to Petitioner under the circumstances. Further, Whitaker cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt

that the alleged offense Petitioner is accused of occurred while the officers of/for the NBPD were

In re Jason Childress                                                                       Page 11 of 18
in the lawful discharge of their official duties. Considering all the evidence and lack thereof, it

follows that there is no proof that the officers were authorized to arrest Petitioner. Without such

evidence, the Whitaker cannot establish that the officers of/for the NBPD were lawfully

discharging their official duties. As there is no evidence showing Petitioner's arrest was lawful,

he had the right to refuse to provide any information to the officers of/for the NBPD involved in

his unlawful arrest. Accordingly, the conviction of Petitioner for the alleged offense is not

authorized by the evidence. The officers of/for the NBPD, as well as the prosecutor, would have

it believed that a “person,” or anyone for that matter, can be arrested without having committed

an offense, in absence of any warrant, and then be required to provide information to the

arresting officer(s). Such an event is not contemplated or condoned by Sec. 38.02.

         In order for Sec. 38.02 (d) (1) to be applicable, it must be “shown on the trial of an

offense under [] section [38.02] that the defendant was a “fugitive from justice” at the time of the

offense.” A “trial” has not shown the Petitioner was “a fugitive from justice.” Further, and again,

there is no mention or evidence of an offense which Petitioner had committed giving rise to or

providing cause for his arrest, nor is there any evidence Petitioner was a “fugitive from justice,”

in fact, the record is bereft of any warrant for Petitioner, save the Capias challenged herein and

hereby. Furthermore, even if Petitioner had committed some offense and was lawfully arrested

by the officers of/for the NBPD, application of Sec. 38.02 (d) (1) would be premature in absence

of a “trial” to show that Petitioner was “a fugitive from justice.”

                                B. WITNESSES DISQUALIFIED

         As demonstrated supra, and within the documents attached hereto, the officers of/for the

         Pursuant to the federal and state Rules of Evidence (see Apx. Tab K pg.36 - 37, #81. -

84.) and case law (see Apx. Tab K pg.37 - 39, #85. - 86.), Whitaker is not a competent and

qualified witness due a lack of personal knowledge and status as a prosecutor. Ida Paniagua is

not a competent or qualified witness pursuant to the federal and state Rules of Evidence due to a

lack of personal knowledge (see Apx. Tab K pg.36 - 37, #83.). Whitaker, is barred from

prosecution of the allegation and charge against Petitioner, due the trial court's lack of

jurisdiction, lack of evidence that Petitioner had committed any crime, inapplicability of Sec.

38.02 to Petitioner and a lack of any credible witnesses thereagainstr, and conviction of him for

the alleged offense is barred as a result of a bar to prosecution.

                        PLEADING SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO DO JUSTICE

          "Following the simple guide of rule 8(f) that all pleadings shall be so construed as
          to do substantial justice"... "The federal rules reject the approach that pleading is a
          game of skill in which one misstep by counsel may be decisive to the outcome

In re Jason Childress                                                                         Page 13 of 18
          and accept the principle that the purpose of pleading is to facilitate a proper
          decision on the merits." The court also cited Rule 8(f) FRCP, which holds that all
          pleadings shall be construed to do substantial justice. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S.
          41 at 48 (1957)

          "The assertion of federal rights, when plainly and reasonably made, are not to be
          defeated under the name of local practice. Davis v. Wechler, 263 U.S. 22, 24;
          Stromberb v. California, 283 U.S. 359; NAACP v. Alabama, 375 U.S. 449

          Pro se pleadings are to be considered without regard to technicality; pro se
          litigants' pleadings are not to be held to the same high standards of perfection as
          lawyers. Jenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421 (1959); Picking v. Pennsylvania
          R. Co., 151 Fed 2nd 240; Pucket v. Cox, 456 2nd 233

          "Pleadings are intended to serve as a means of arriving at fair and just settlements
          of controversies between litigants. They should not raise barriers which prevent
          the achievement of that end. Proper pleading is important, but its importance
          consists in its effectiveness as a means to accomplish the end of a just judgment."
          Maty v. Grasselli Chemical Co., 303 U.S. 197 (1938)

          The plaintiff's civil rights pleading was 150 pages and described by a federal
          judge as "inept". Nevertheless, it was held "Where a plaintiff pleads pro se in a
          suit for protection of civil rights, the Court should endeavor to construe Plaintiff's
          Pleadings without regard to technicalities. Picking v. Pennsylvania Railway, 151
          F.2d. 240, Third Circuit Court of Appeals

          It was held that a pro se complaint requires a less stringent reading than one
          drafted by a lawyer per Justice Black in Conley v. Gibson (see case listed above,
          Pro Se Rights Section). Puckett v. Cox, 456 F. 2d 233 (1972) (6th Cir. USCA)

          "... allegations such as those asserted by petitioner, however inartfully pleaded,
          are sufficient to call for the opportunity to offer supporting evidence. We cannot
          say with assurance that under the allegations of the pro se complaint, which we
          hold to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers... ".
          Haines v Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 – 521, (1972)

          "Court errs if court dismisses pro se litigant without instructions of how pleadings
          are deficient and how to repair pleadings." Plaskey v. CIA, 953 F.2nd 25

          Nowhere can be found a competent attorney that is able to execute the proper
          remedy without embarrassing the Court, Corpus Juris Secundum 2d Vol. 7 section
          25.

        I, Jason Truman Childress, hereinafter, Affiant, declare, certify, verify, and state that I am
a living man of lawful age and competent to testify, and that I have personal knowledge of the
following facts which are true and correct based upon my knowledge and belief, which
knowledge and belief I believe to be true:

       from either Jay Goodfriend or Affiant.
   3. Intruder, was later identified via documents produced by the New Braunfels Police
       Department in Response to an Open Records / Public Information Request, as either
       Kevin M. Schoch / Kevin Shock (documents produced refer to Intruder as both Kevin
       Schoch and Kevin Shock).

       and business card, as well as, the warrant Intruder claimed was in his possession.

       police vehicle in front of the home, or any car for that matter, and Intruder was not in
       police uniform, rather, blue jeans and gray shirt.
   19. Intruder refused to produce any form of identification.

                                 ADMINISTRATIVE NOTICE

       *63C Am. Jur. 2d., Public Officers and Employees, §247* “As expressed
       otherwise, the powers delegated to a public officer are held in trust for the people
       and are to be exercised in behalf of the government or of all citizens who may
       need the intervention of the officer. [1]Furthermore, the view has been expressed
       that all public officers, within whatever branch and whatever level of government,
       and whatever be their private vocations, are trustees of the people, and
       accordingly labor under every disability and prohibition imposed by law upon
       trustees relative to the making of personal financial gain from a discharge of their
       trusts. [2]That is, a public officer occupies a fiduciary relationship to the political
       entity on whose behalf he or she serves. [3]and owes a fiduciary duty to the
       public. [4]It has been said that the fiduciary responsibilities of a public officer
       cannot be less than those of a private individual. [5]Furthermore, it has been
       stated that any enterprise undertaken by the public official who tends to weaken
       public confidence and undermine the sense of security for individual rights is
       against public policy. Fraud in its elementary common law sense of deceit –and
       this is one of the meanings that fraud bears [483 U.S. 372] in the statute (See,
       United States v. Dial, 757 F.2d 163, 168 (7th Cir1985)), includes the deliberate

       concealment of material information in a setting of fiduciary obligation. A public
       official is a fiduciary toward the public, including, in the case of a judge, the
       litigants who appear before him and if he deliberately conceals material
       information from them, he is guilty of fraud. McNally v United States, 483 U.S.
       350 (1987).

              COMES NOW, Plaintiff, Jason Truman Childress, and hereby states the
       following:

       IV. COURT LACKS SUBJECT MATTER AND PERSONAL JURISDICTION

9.     All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

10.    This court is, and has been since the onset, without subject matter and personal

jurisdiction and "There is no discretion to ignore that lack of jurisdiction." Joyce v. US, 474 F2d

215.

       "a void judgment, order or decree may be attacked at any time or in any court,
       either directly or collaterally.” Evans v. Corporate Services, 207 Ill.App.3d 297,
       565 N.E.2d 724 (2nd Dist. 1990)

       “A judgment or order is void where it is entered by a court which lacks
       jurisdiction over the parties or the subject matter, or lacks inherent power to enter
       the particular order or judgment, or where the order is procured by fraud...” (Id.)

       "If the initial judgment was one which the trial court had no power to enter, that
       judgment is void and may be attacked at any time in the same or any other court,


                                           Page 5 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

        by the parties or by any other person who is affected thereby." Oak Park Nat.
        Bank v. Peoples Gas Light & Coke Col, 46 Ill.App.2d 385, 197 N.E.2d 73, 77 (1st
        Dist. 1964)

        "A void judgment may be attacked at any time, either directly or collaterally." In
        re Marriage of Macino, 236 Ill.App.3d 886 (2nd Dist. 1992)

        "A void judgment is one entered by a court without jurisdiction of the parties or
        the subject matter or that lacks "the inherent power to make or enter the particular
        order involved... A void judgment may be attacked at any time, either directly or
        collaterally” People v. Wade, 116 Ill.2d 1, 506 N.E.2d 954 (1987)

        "Courts are constituted by authority and they can not go beyond the power
        delegated to them. If they act beyond that authority, and certainly in contravention
        of it, their judgments and orders are regarded as nullities. They are 354*354 not
        voidable, but simply void, and this even prior to reversal.” Vallely v. Northern
        Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 254 U.S. 348, 41 S.Ct. 116 (1920)

        “[a] court ha[s] no jurisdiction to proceed if the judgment it rendered was void for
        the want of the due process of law required by the Fourteenth Amendment. If the
        defendant had no such actual, legal notice [the] court was without jurisdiction;
        [judgment] was void as wanting in due process of law.” Old Wayne Mut. L.
        Assoc. v. McDonough, 204 U.S. 8, 27 S.Ct. 236 (1907)

        “...[it is a] well-established rule that a void judgment may be attacked directly or
        collaterally in any court at any time so long as the party is properly before the
        court. That rule allows courts to protect their integrity, to guard against fraud, and
        to prevent or correct the entry of judgments made, in fact, without authority.”
        People ex rel. Brzica v. Village of Lake Barrington, 644 N.E.2d 66 (Ill.App. 2
        Dist. 1994).

11.    Jurisdiction is a prerequisite for a court to have official authority and power to decide

matters in cases, issue subpoenas, summons, warrants, orders and judgments, etc.. To decide a

case, a court must have a combination of subject (subjectam) and either personal (personam) or

territorial (locum) jurisdiction.

        “A judgment rendered by a court without personal jurisdiction over the defendant
        is void. It is a nullity. [A judgment shown to be void for lack of personal service
        on the defendant is a nullity.]” Sramek v. Sramek, 17 Kan. App. 2d 573, 576-77,


                                            Page 6 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       840 P.2d 553 (1992), rev. denied 252 Kan. 1093 (1993).

       "A universal principle as old as the law is that a proceedings of a court without
       jurisdiction are a nullity and its judgment therein without effect either on person
       or property." Norwood v. Renfield, 34 C 329; Ex parte Giambonini, 49 P. 732.

       "Jurisdiction is fundamental and a judgment rendered by a court that does not
       have jurisdiction to hear is void ab initio." In Re Application of Wyatt, 300 P. 132;
       Re Cavitt, 118 P2d 846.

       "Thus, where a judicial tribunal has no jurisdiction of the subject matter on which
       it assumes to act, its proceedings are absolutely void in the fullest sense of the
       term." Dillon v. Dillon, 187 P 27.

12.    Childress is now challenging this court's jurisdiction. (see, Joyce v. US, supra).

       “The [state[ trial court, by reason of [defendant's] failure to exhaust [their]
       administrative remedies, acquired no jurisdiction over the [their] claim. When it
       clearly appears that the court lacks jurisdiction, the court ha[d] no authority to
       reach the merits... the action should [have] be[en] dismissed for want of
       jurisdiction." Melo v. US, 505 F2d 1026.

       "Court must prove on the record, all jurisdiction facts related to the jurisdiction
       asserted." Latana v. Hopper, 102 F. 2d 188; Chicago v. New York, 37 F Supp. 150.

       "Once challenged, jurisdiction cannot be assumed, it must be proved to exist."
       Stuck v. Medical Examiners, 94 Ca 2d 751. 211 P2d 389.

       "The burden shifts to the court to prove jurisdiction." Rosemond v. Lambert, 469
       F2d 416.

       "A court has no jurisdiction to determine its own jurisdiction, for a basic issue in
       any case before a tribunal is its power to act, and a court must have the authority
       to decide that question in the first instance." Rescue Army v. Municipal Court of
       Los Angeles, 171 P2d 8; 331 US 549, 91 L. ed. 1666, 67 S.Ct. 1409.

13.    This court is, and has been since the onset, without jurisdiction as a result of actions by

the Defendants, and the magistrate.

                      A. NO REASON TO FEAR FROM CHILDRESS



                                           Page 7 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

14.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

15.    Childress, at the time of arrest, gave neither Defendant Schoch, nor NBPD Defendants

any reason to fear for their safety from him. Childress made no attempts to escape or indicated

verbally or physically he would attempt to escape. A search, in absence of a Fourth (4th)

Amendment warrant, of Childress was made subsequent to arrest where no weapons were found;

Childress's hands and ankles were cuffed with no effort to resist; Childress did not offer any

verbal threat of physical resistance or retaliation. When directed to the police car, Childress

complied without physical resistance.

       “But a constable cannot justify handcuffing a prisoner unless he has attempted to
       escape, or unless it be necessary in order to prevent his doing so.” 51 L.R.A. 216.

       “The handcuffing was utterly unlawful.” Osborn v. Veitch, Foster & Fin Eng Rep
       317 (1858).

          B. NO INTERVENING CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING DELAY

16.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

17.    There was no flood, storm, riot, or any other intervening circumstance to necessitate

NBPD Defendant's immediate attention, which would justify a delay in bringing Childress before

a magistrate. Childress did not observe NBPD Defendants, through the use of police radio or cell

phone, make any attempt to locate a magistrate for the purpose of securing jurisdiction to

continue to hold Childress.

       “In endeavoring to take the arrested person before the magistrate, the officer must
       expend all the effort that a highly cautious person would employ in the same


                                          Page 8 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

        circumstances.” [FN85] Robinson v. Lovell, 238 S.W.2d 294 (Tex. Civ. App.
        Galveston 1951), writ refused n.r.e.

18.    NBPD Defendants should have exercised caution in this regard, as failure to do so could

lead to personal criminal and civil liability, and has led to the latter.

        13 Am Jru Proof of Facts 3d, 21
        “Without having been directly authorized, tacitly encouraged, or even
        inadequately trained, police officers, like other public employees, may fall into
        patterns of unconstitutional conduct. This can result from a variety of factors not
        sufficiently traceable in origin to any fault of “municipal policy” in the Monell
        sense (Monell v Dept. of Social Services, (1978) 436 US 658, and Soell v
        McDaniel, (1987 CA4 NC) 824 F2d 1380). If these unconstitutional practices
        become sufficiently widespread, however, they may assume the quality of
        “custom or usage” which has the force of law…”

19.    If such a thing were to happen, officers might fail to exercise the necessary caution of

learning the law for themselves and, thereby, be influenced to follow flawed policy. Such is the

case in regard to the actions of NBPD Defendants on September 4, 2014.

        “To detain the person arrested in custody for any purpose other than that of taking
        him before a magistrate is illegal.” Kominsky v. Durand, 12 Atl. 2D 654 (1940).

        “But the power of detaining the person so arrested, or restraining him of his
        liberty, in such a case is not a matter within the discretion of the officer making
        the arrest. He cannot legally hold the person arrested in custody for a longer
        period of time than is reasonably necessary under all of the circumstances of the
        case, to obtain a proper warrant or order for his further detention from some
        tribunal or officer authorized under the law to issue such a warrant or order. If the
        person arrested is detained or held by the officer for a longer period of time than
        is required, under the circumstances without such warrant authority, he will have a
        cause of action for false imprisonment against the officer and all others by whom
        he has been unlawfully detained or held.” Harness v. Steele, 159 Ind. 286, 64 N.
        E. 875.

        “Any undue delay is unlawful and wrongful, and renders the officer himself and
        all persons aiding and abetting therein wrongdoers from the beginning.” Ulvestad
        v. Dolphin, 278 Pac. 684 (1929).



                                             Page 9 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

20.    The law is not lacking in this matter. The requirement Childress is speaking of has been

standard practice since before the Magna Carta. It can hardly be construed that NBPD

Defendants, with the power to arrest a citizen, can be ignorant of this basic principal of law.

21.    NBPD Defendants did not make any effort to locate a magistrate, but rather, acted in

furtherance of standing policy which directs officers to secret persons arrested, with or without a

warrant, from the nearest magistrate and take them directly to jail.

   C. DUTY TO TAKE BEFORE MAGISTRATE WITHOUT UNNECESSARY DELAY

22.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

23.    Art. 14.06 Tex.C.Crim.Pro., directs arresting officers to take, or have taken, the arrested,

with or without a warrant to the nearest magistrate.

       ART. 14.06.MUST TAKE OFFENDER BEFORE MAGISTRATE
       Except as provided by Subsection (b), in each case enumerated in this Code, the
       person making the arrest or the person having custody of the person arrested shall
       take the person arrested or have him taken without unnecessary delay, but not
       later than 48 hours after the person is arrested, before the magistrate who may
       have ordered the arrest, before some magistrate of the county where the arrest was
       made without an order, or, if necessary to provide more expeditiously to the
       person arrested the warnings described by Article 15.17 of this Code, before a
       magistrate in a county bordering the county in which the arrest was made. The
       magistrate shall immediately perform the duties described in Article 15.17 of this
       Code.

24.    Without considering the lawfulness of the warrantless arrest, for the purpose and

demonstration of jurisdiction, Childress will consider and address the actions subsequent to

arrest. The immediate issue addresses the duty of an arresting officer to take the accused before a

magistrate to secure jurisdiction such that the State may rightfully continue to restrict the accused



                                           Page 10 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

at liberty.

        “[28] Maximum protection of individual rights could be assured by requiring a
        magistrate's review of the factual justification prior to any arrest, but such a
        requirement would constitute an intolerable handicap for legitimate law
        enforcement. Thus, while the Court has expressed a preference for the use of
        arrest warrants when feasible, Beck v. Ohio, at 96; Wong Sun v. United States,
        371 U.S. 471, 479-482 (1963), it has never invalidated an arrest supported by
        probable cause solely because the officers failed to secure a warrant. See, Ker v.
        California, 374 U.S. 23 (1963); Draper v. United States, 358 U.S. 307 (1959);
        Trupiano v. United States, 334 U.S. 699, 705 (1948).

        [29] Under this practical compromise, a policeman's on-the-scene assessment of
        probable cause provides legal justification for arresting a person suspected of
        crime, and for a brief period of detention to take the administrative steps incident
        to arrest. Once the suspect is in custody, however, the reasons that justify
        dispensing with the magistrate's neutral judgment evaporate. There no longer is
        any danger that the suspect will escape or commit further crimes while the police
        submit their evidence to a magistrate. And, while the State's reasons for taking
        summary action subside, the suspect's need for a neutral determination of
        probable cause increases significantly. The consequences of prolonged detention
        may be more serious than the interference occasioned by arrest. Pretrial
        confinement may imperil the suspect's job, interrupt his source of income, and
        impair his family relationships. See R. Goldfarb, Ransom 32-91 (1965); L. Katz,
        Justice Is the Crime 51-62 (1972. Even pretrial release may be accompanied by
        burdensome conditions that effect a significant restraint of liberty. See, e. g., 18 U.
        S. C. 3146 (a)(2)(5). When the stakes are this high, the detached judgment of a
        neutral magistrate is essential if the Fourth Amendment is to furnish meaningful
        protection from unfounded interference with liberty. Accordingly, we hold that the
        Fourth Amendment requires a judicial determination of probable cause as a
        prerequisite to extended restraint of liberty following arrest.” Gerstein V. Pugh Et
        Al, 95 S. Ct. 854, 420 U.S. 103, 43 L. Ed. 2D 54, 1975. SCT.40602.

25.     NBPD Defendants failed to take, or to have Childress taken, directly to and before the

nearest magistrate. While certain delays can be expected in certain circumstances, simple failure

to seek the authority envisioned by Gerstien v. Pugh above, may not be construed as a proximate

cause of reasonable delay. The seminal case on this falls under Texas State Law, Heath v. Boyd,

141 Tex. 569; 175 S.W.2d 214; 1943 Tex. LEXIS 370.

       “Moreover, if Heath's arrest had been authorized by the statutes, his subsequent
       detention as pleaded proved would make a case of false imprisonment against
       Boyd. The undisputed facts are that after his arrest Heath rode with the sheriff to
       the former's car, which he then entered and drove several miles to the courthouse,
       followed by Boyd. There he was detained in Boyd's office from one to three
       hours, while Boyd was seeking advice by telephone as to what to do, in the face
       of a plain statutory command as to [***13] what must be done in all cases of
       arrest without warrant. Art. 217, C.C.P., 1925, provides, "I each case enumerated
       in this chapter, the person making the arrest shall immediately take the person
       arrested * * before the nearest magistrate where the arrest was made without an
       order." Substantially the same requirement appears in Art. 325, C.C.P., 1925, and
       Art. 487, P.C., 1925. Presumably, there was a magistrate in Mertzon, the county
       seat. Yet Boyd offers no reason why he did not take Heath before that official.
       Neither in his pleadings nor in his testimony does he suggest that a magistrate was
       not reasonably available, although the arrest and detention all occurred between 8
       o'clock in the morning and noon. If he had taken Heath to that official, he could
       have gotten the information and assistance he was seeking by telephone. He was
       under no obligation to seek advice or aid from Johnson. He was under a positive
       duty immediately to seek a magistrate. That such failure, unexcused, makes a case
       of false imprisonment, as a matter of law, is held by all the authorities. Newby v.
       Gunn et al, 74 Texas, 455, 12 S.W. 67; McBeath v. Campbell, 12 S.W. (2d) 118;

       175 S.W.2d 214; 1943 Tex. LEXIS 370.

26.    NBPD Defendants made no due diligent effort to locate any magistrate.

       “Although the failure to take the plaintiff before a magistrate would have been
       excused if good grounds had existed for the belief that a magistrate was not
       available, such was not the case since the officers made no attempt to determine
       whether the magistrate was or would make himself available.” Roberts v Bohac,
       574 F.2d 1232.

27.    Irrespective of any other states, Texas has specific legislation concerning this requirement

to take the accused before a magistrate. Not only must the arresting officer exhaust the available

magistrates in the county, the consideration of the availability of a magistrate must be extended



                                          Page 12 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

to include every surrounding county (See, Tex.Crim.Pro., Article 14.06, supra).

       The record offers, as the government's only justification, evidence that the
       magistrate, who issued the warrants, advised of his unavailability after the early
       evening of Friday, September 8, 1989. There are three other magistrates in the
       District. The record is bereft of any evidence as to their availability. Likewise, the
       record is bereft of any evidence as to the availability of any of the district Judges.
       N5 Absent evidence of other than the unavailability of the duty magistrate (the
       propriety of which is not here questioned), there is no basis to find that the delay
       for the entire period from [*20] the arrest to presentment was necessary. To be
       sure, it was a weekend. The court was closed. But those facts do not entitle the
       government to presume the absence of an obligation to try to arrange the
       appearance of an arrestee before one of the other possible judicial officers. The
       law remains a force in life even outside usual business hours and all judicial
       officers have the obligation to respond to the needs of parties as they are
       mandated by the law. Defendant to their reasonable non-judicial activities, all
       judicial officers stand ready to fulfill that obligation. Here, the government has
       not shown the unavailability of all the possible judicial officers. The obligation of
       complying with the law lies with the government, which thus has the burden of
       proving that an arrestee was brought before a judicial officer without unnecessary
       delay. Its proof of the unavailability of one judicial officer does not prove that the
       delay to the next regular business hours, some sixty to sixty-five hours later, did
       not constitute unnecessary delay if it does not exhaust the possibility of an
       appearance before one of the other judicial officers in the district. See United
       States v. Colon, 835 [*21] F.2d 27, 30-31 (2d Cir. 1987). United States v. Morgan,
       et al. 1990 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6206.

28.    NBPD Defendants, acting in accordance with established police policy, took Childress

directly to jail, having made no effort to locate a magistrate for the purposes stipulated by Art.

14.06 and the federal requirement articulated by Gerstien v. Pugh, supra.

       “The power to arrest does not confer upon the arresting officer the power to detain
       a prisoner for other purposes.” Geldon v. Finnegan, 252 N.W. 372 (1934).

       “The taking of plaintiff's picture before conviction was an illegal act.” Hawkins v.
       Kuhne, 137 NY Supp 1090, 153 App Div 216 (1912).

       “Compulsory fingerprinting before conviction is an unlawful encroachment...
       [and] involves prohibited compulsory self-incrimination.” People v. Helvern, 215
       N.Y. Supp 417 (1926).

              D. NO DUE DILIGENT EFFORT TO LOCATE MAGISTRATE

29.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

30.    For the purpose of argument, even if the arrest had been proper and lawful, Defendant

Schoch and NBPD Defendants became trespassers ab inito by violating laws relating to their

occupations and office subsequent to arrest. Defendant Schoch, in absence of a warrant, entered

the home Childress was within without consent from Childress or the owner of the home,

coerced Childress therefrom, and assaulted him. Defendant Schoch became a criminal trespasser

on the rights of Childress by violating state laws (See, Tex. Occupations Code, Sec. 1702.3867.

EXECUTION OF CAPIAS OR ARREST WARRANT; OFFENSE; Tex.Pen.C., Sec. 30.05.

CRIMINAL TRESPASS,            Sec.   20.02.   UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT,               and   Sec.   22.02.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.) NBPD Defendants, after securing Childress in custody, made no

due diligent effort to locate a magistrate. After securing Childress such that there was no personal

safety threat to NBPD Defendants from Childress and no threat of escape, any authority of

NBPD Defendants, to continue to hold Childress evaporated (See, Gerstien v. Pugh, supra) and

NBPD Defendants had a duty to make a due diligent effort to locate a magistrate in the county in

which Childress was arrested, failing that, to make an effort to locate a magistrate within an

adjoining county for the purpose of securing authority to continue to hold Childress in the form

of a warrant issued by an examining magistrate under Art. 16.17 Tex.Crim.Pro.. Having made no

such effort, and being without any warrant, NBPD Defendants became criminal trespassers on

the rights of Childress, and therefore, violated a law relating to their office (See, Tex.Pen.Code,


                                          Page 14 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

Sec. 39.03. OFFICIAL OPPRESSION). Even if the original arrest were proper, Defendant

Schoch and NBPD Defendants became trespassers ab inito.

       “Under the doctrine of trespass ab inito, where a party exceeds an authority given
       by law, the party loses the benefit of the justification and is considered a
       trespasser ab inito, although to a certain extent the party followed the authority
       given. The law will then operate retrospectively to defeat all acts done under the
       color of lawful authority. American Mortg. Corp. v. Wyman 41 S.W.2d 270 (Tex.
       Civ. App. Austin 1931). Thus, a person who enters on real property lawfully
       pursuant to a conditional or restricted consent and remains after his or her right to
       possession terminates and demand is made for his or her removal becomes a
       trespasser from the beginning, and the law will then operate retrospectively to
       defeat all acts done by him under color of lawful authority. Williams v. Garnett,
       608 S.W.2d 794 (Tex. Civ. App. Waco 1980).

       “The rule applies to the acts of sheriffs and other officers, as well as to the
       conduct of private individuals.” American Mortg. Corp. v. Wyman, 41 S.W.2d 270
       (Tex. Civ. App. Austin 1931).

31.    As there is no false imprisonment statute in Texas, the appropriate statute is titled

Kidnapping (See, Tex.Pen.Code, Section 20.03). In as much as the act of Kidnapping was

committed while the Defendant Schoch and NBPD Defendants were displaying deadly weapons,

Defendants Schoch's and NBPD Defendant's acts were aggravated. Further, in as much as

Defendant Schoch and NBPD Defendants, the perpetrators of the act of Kidnapping, were

displaying deadly weapons at the time, the act must be considered an act in violation of Sec.

20.04 Tex.Pen.Code, titled Aggravated Kidnapping.

       "It will be an evil day for American Liberty if the theory of a government outside
       supreme law finds lodgement in our constitutional jurisprudence. No higher duty
       rests upon this Court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violations of the
       principles of the Constitution. Downs v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901).

       "No man or woman in this country is so high that he is above the law. No officer

to obey it." Butz v. Economou, 98 S. Ct. 2894 (1978); United States v. Lee, 106
U.S. at 220, 1 S. Ct. at 261 (1882).

"Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be
subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a
government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to
observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent
teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is
contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law;
it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare
that, in the administration of the criminal law, the end justifies the means -- to
declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction
of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retribution" Olmstead v. United States,
277 U.S. 438 (1928).

"The innocent individual who is harmed by an abuse of governmental authority is
assured that he will be compensated for his injury." Owen v. City of
Independence, 445 U.S. 622 (1980).

"I do not understand the government to contend that it is any less bound by the
obligation than a private individual would be..." "It is not the function of our
government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the
citizen to keep the government from falling into error." Perry v. United States, 204
U.S. 330, 358.

"No man in this country is so high that he is above the law. No officer of the law
may set that law at defiance, with impunity. All the officers of the government,
from the highest to the lowest, are creatures of the law are bound to obey it." U.S.
v. Lee, 106 U.S. 196, 220 1 S. Ct. 240, 261, 27 L. Ed 171 (1882).

“Uncontrolled search and seizure is one of the first and most effective weapons in
the arsenal of every arbitrary government." Brenninger v. U.S., 338 US 160.

T”he Fourth Amendment proscribes all unreasonable searches and seizures, and it
is a cardinal principle that "searches conducted outside the judicial process,
without prior approval by a judge or magistrate, are per se unreasonable under the
Fourth Amendment-subject only to a few specifically established and well-
delineated exceptions." Katz v. United States, 389 US 347, 357.

“The point of the Fourth Amendment, which often is not grasped by zealous
officers, is not that it denies law enforcement the support of the usual inferences
which reasonable men draw from evidence. Its protection consists in requiring


                                   Page 16 of 89
                   AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

that those inferences be drawn by a neutral and detached magistrate instead of
being judged by the officer engaged in the often competitive enterprise of
ferreting out crime." Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1, 34 (1968).

“It must be recognized that whenever a police officer accosts an individual and
restrains his freedom to walk away, he has 'seized' that person." Id.

“Where property or evidence has been obtained through unconstitutional search
and seizure, failure to return the same and to suppress the evidence learned
thereby constitutes reversible error. - Boyd v. United States, 116 US 616; Weeks v.
United States, 232 US 383; Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, 251 US
385; Gouled v. United States, 255 US 298; Amos v. United States, 255 US 313.

When officers detained defendant for the purpose of requiring him to identify
himself, they performed a "seizure" of his person subject to the requirements of
the Fourth Amendment." Brown v. Texas, 443 US at 47.

“The usual rule is that a police officer may arrest without warrant one believed by
the officer upon reasonable cause to have been guilty of a felony, and that he may
only arrest without a warrant one guilty of a misdemeanor if committed in his
presence. Kurtz v. Moffitt, 115 US 487; Elk v. U.S., 117 US 529. The rule is
sometimes expressed as follows:
        "In cases of misdemeanor, a peace officer like a private person has
        at common law no power of arresting without a warrant except
        when a breach of the peace has been committed in his presence or
        there is reasonable ground for supposing that a breach of the peace
        is about to be committed or renewed in his presence." Halsbury's
        Laws of England, Vol. 9 part III, 612. The reason for arrest for
        misdemeanors without warrant at common law was promptly to
        suppress breaches of the peace, 1 Stephen, History of Criminal
        Law, 193..." Carrol v. U.S., 267 US 132, 157.

“It is monstrous that courts should aid or abet the lawbreaking police officer. It is
abiding truth that '[n]othing can destroy a government more quickly than its own
failure to observe its own laws or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own
existence.'" Justice Brennan quoting Mapp v. Ohio, 367 US 643, 659 (1961) in
Harris v. New York, 401 US 222, 232. (1971).

“Constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be
liberally construed." Boyd v. U.S., 116 US 616 (1886).

                      E. COURT PROCEEDINGS HELD IN SECRET

32.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

33.    Childress, after being arrested and booked into the jail, was eventually brought before a

magistrate the next morning. At said appearance criminal accusations were read to Childress

wherein he was officially charged with committing criminal acts against the laws of the State of

Texas. Then, Childress was notified of the amount of bail which had been set. At said hearing,

when Childress first observed magistrate, the court was in possession of a file from which the

magistrate read the allegations against Childress. This raises a question: Where, how, and by

what legal mechanism did the court accept into evidence, allegations against Childress outside

the presence of Childress who was under the absolute control of the State at the time?

       The Texas Code of Judicial Conduct further provides that, except as authorized by
       law, a judge shall not directly or indirectly initiate, [**46] permit, or consider ex
       parte or other private communications concerning the merits of a pending or
       impending judicial proceeding. TEXAS SUPREME COURT, CODE OF
       JUDICIAL CONDUCT, Canon 3A (5). Ex parte communications are "those that
       involve fewer than all of the parties who are legally entitled to be present during
       the discussion of any matter. They are barred in order to ensure that 'every person
       who is legally interested in a proceeding [is given the] full right to be heard
       according to law'." JEFFREY M. SHAMAN, ET AL., JUDICIAL CONDUCT
       AND ETHICS, § 6.01 at 145 (1990). The principle underlying such prohibition,
       as it regards the disposition of criminal matters is quite simple: the disposition of
       criminal matters is the public's business and ought to be conducted in public in
       open court. See, Tamminen v. State, 644 S.W.2d 209; 217 (Tex.App.--San Antonio


                                          Page 18 of 89

       1982), aff'd in part and rev'd in part, 653 S.W.2d 799 (Tex.Crim.App. 1983); TEX.
       CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 1.24 (Vernon 1977).

       Private adjudications fly in the face of our judicial system's abiding commitment
       to providing public access to civil and criminal proceedings and records. See,
       Gannett Co. v. DePasquale, 443 U.S. 368, 61 L. Ed. 2d 608, 99 S. Ct. 2898
       (1979). Our form of government is rooted in a recognition of the importance of
       open and public proceedings. Subjecting judicial proceedings to public scrutiny
       accomplishes two important goals. First, it provides the public with an
       opportunity to exercise its right to monitor and evaluate its judicial system.
       Second, and equally important, a judge's knowledge that his or her actions are not
       shrouded in secrecy fosters a stronger commitment to strict conscientiousness in
       the performance of judicial duties. Our courts have recognized that secret
       tribunals exhibit abuses that are absent when the public has access to judicial
       proceedings and records. See, Express-News Corp. v. Spears, 766 S.W.2d 885,
       890 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 1989, orig. proceeding [leave denied]) Cadena, C.J.
       dissenting. The judiciary has no special privilege to suppress or conduct in private
       proceedings involving the adjudication of causes before it. [**48] In fact, such
       secrecy frustrates the judiciary's responsibility to promote and provide fair and
       equal treatment to all parties. Individual Judges are charged with the task of
       adjudicating claims in a manner that protects the rights of both parties. A judge's
       private [*497] communications with either party undermine the public's right to
       evaluate whether justice is being done and removes an important incentive to the
       efficient resolution of cases. In Re, John M. Thoma, Judge, County Court At Law

                   F. EXAMINING TRIALS REQUIRED BY TEXAS LAW

34.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

35.    In Texas, notwithstanding practices in other states, probable cause is only found and bail

set by a magistrate through an examining trial, the procedures for which are laid down in Ch. 16,

Tex.Crim.Pro.. The chapter has been carefully crafted by the Texas Legislature to install

safeguards so as to insure the rights of the accused are upheld and that the accused is protected

from abuses by the governmental, corporate instruments The People have created to enforce the



                                         Page 19 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

criminal laws. Nothing in Ch. 16, or any other chapter of the Tex.C.Crim.Proc., authorizes

examining trials to be held in secret.

36.    The first thing that must happen in the convening of a hearing by a magistrate is that all

parties must be present. In order for the magistrate to be in possession of a file containing details

of a criminal allegation against Childress, the magistrate had to receive that file from somewhere.

So, where and how did the magistrate get the file, and how did the documents in the file get

entered into evidence against Childress if not in a public hearing?

       Art. 16.07. SAME RULES OF EVIDENCE AS ON FINAL TRIAL
       The same rules of evidence shall apply to and govern a trial before an examining
       court that apply to and govern a final trial.

37.    Either there are some secret practices and procedures not codified, or the magistrate came

into possession of evidence outside the legal structures put in place to safeguard and to protect

the accused from just the sort of abuse perpetrated in the magistrate court.

           G. SPECIFIC RIGHTS DENIED AS DELIBERATE CONTRIVANCE

38.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

39.    At the hearing wherein bail was set, no plea was requested or accepted by the court,

Childress was never given opportunity to be faced with his accuser(s), nor was Childress

afforded opportunity to present exculpatory evidence and Childress was not present at the

hearing where probable cause was determined. Evidence was presented to the court, accepted

into evidence, and a probable cause determination made in secret.

       OVERVIEW: Defendant was convicted of aggravated rape by a jury, based on
       evidence that included the testimony of the victim and her companion, who were


                                           Page 20 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       held at gunpoint, raped, and beaten by Defendant and other members of a
       motorcycle gang. During trial, the prosecutor gave the sentencing judge a "secret"
       police intelligence report about the gang, ex parte. Defense counsel was not
       allowed to see it. The court affirmed the conviction, finding that the evidence was
       overwhelming. Most errors were not preserved, either by failure to object in a
       timely manner or by objection on a ground different from that raised on appeal.
       The court vacated the sentence because the ex parte tender of the report violated
       Defendant's rights to confrontation and due process under U.S. Const. amend. VI
       and U.S. Const. amend. VI. The ex parte tender also constituted prosecutorial
       misconduct in violation of Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 2.01 and the state
       ethics rules, judicial misconduct under the Rules and Code of Judicial Conduct,
       and deprived Defendant of a public trial under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art.
       1.24 (1977). Tamminen v. State, 644 S.W.2d 209; 1982 Tex. App. LEXIS 5561.

40.    The above is neither a difficult concept, nor is it an obscure consideration. Evidence

presented ex parte while a party is being physically restrained from appearance, determinations

made in secret, confrontation denied, and opportunity to rebut not availed goes to the heart of our

legal system and directly influences the judicial machinery. No right-minded magistrate, in good

faith, can consider such behavior anything but egregious and the most outrageous abuse.

      H. ARTICLE 15.17 AND SHARP PRACTICE TO BYPASS OF DUE COURSE

41.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

42.    Tex.Crim.Pro., Art. 14.06, supra, refers to Art. 15.17 which I have outlined below. The

paragraph outlined below is (a) of Tex.Crim.Pro., Art. 15.17:

       Art. 15.17. DUTIES OF ARRESTING OFFICER AND MAGISTRATE
       In each case enumerated in this Code, the person making the arrest or the person
       having custody of the person arrested shall without unnecessary delay, but not
       later than 48 hours after the person is arrested,
       (a) take the person arrested or have him taken before some magistrate of the
       county where the accused was arrested or, to provide more expeditiously to the
       person arrested the warnings described by this article, before a magistrate in any
       other county of this state.

                  AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

(b) The arrested person may be taken before the magistrate in person or the image
of the arrested person may be presented to the magistrate by means of an
electronic broadcast system.
(c) The magistrate shall inform in clear language the person arrested, either in
person or through the electronic broadcast system, of the accusation against him
and of any affidavit filed therewith, of his right to retain counsel, of his right to
remain silent, of his right to have an attorney present during any interview with
peace officers or attorneys representing the state, of his right to terminate the
interview at any time, and of his right to have an examining trial.
(d) The magistrate shall also inform the person arrested of the person's right to
request the appointment of counsel if the person cannot afford counsel.
(e) The magistrate shall inform the person arrested of the procedures for
requesting appointment of counsel. If the person does not speak and understand
the English language or is deaf, the magistrate shall inform the person in a manner
consistent with Articles 38.30 and 38.31, as appropriate.
(f) The magistrate shall ensure that reasonable assistance in completing the
necessary forms for requesting appointment of counsel is provided to the person
at the same time counsel and if the magistrate is authorized under Article 26.04 to
appoint counsel for indigent Defendants in the county, the magistrate shall appoint
counsel in accordance with Article 1.051.
(g) If the magistrate is not authorized to appoint counsel, the magistrate shall
without unnecessary delay, but not later than 24 hours after the person arrested
requests appointment of counsel, transmit, or cause to be transmitted to the court
or to the courts' designee authorized under Article 26.04 to appoint counsel in the
county, the forms requesting the appointment of counsel.
(h) The magistrate shall also inform the person arrested that he is not required to
make a statement and that any statement made by him may be used against him.
(i) The magistrate shall allow the person arrested reasonable time and opportunity
to consult counsel and shall, after determining whether the person is currently on
bail for a separate criminal offense, admit the person arrested to bail if allowed by
law.
(j) A recording of the communication between the arrested person and the
magistrate shall be made. The recording shall be preserved until the earlier of the
following dates:
        (1) the date on which the pretrial hearing ends; or
        (2) the 91st day after the date on which the recording is made if the person
        is charged with a misdemeanor or the 120th day after the date on which the
        recording is made if the person is charged with a felony.
(k) The counsel for the Defendant may obtain a copy of the recording on payment
of a reasonable amount to cover costs of reproduction.
(l) For purposes of this subsection, "electronic broadcast system" means a two-
way electronic communication of image and sound between the arrested person


                                   Page 22 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       and the magistrate and includes secure Internet videoconferencing.

43.    Art. 15.17 gives the impression of covering all those things which must be done

subsequent to the arrest of an accused. However, Art. 15.17 is a special statute, intended to apply

to a special and relatively rare circumstance, not to the general procedures subsequent to arrest.

       “Article 15.17, V.A.C.C.P., contemplates [**33] that there will be occasions
       where no formal charges have been filed when the accused is taken before the
       magistrate.” Harris v. State, 457 S.W. 2d 903; 1970 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1304.

44.    Please notice Paragraph (i), and the highlighted section where it speaks of setting bail "if

allowed by law."

45.    When a someone is arrested on a formal criminal allegation, bail may not be set unless

there is a finding of probable cause. If no probable cause is found in the examining trail under

the provisions of Ch. 16 Tex.Crim.Pro., the magistrate will have no jurisdiction over the accused

and my not set bail, but rather, must release the accused at his/her liberty. If probable cause is

found, a warrant must be issued and bail set.

46.    Art. 15.17 supra, for all its confusing language, provides no legal procedure for setting

bail. However, the procedure prescribed for setting bail is well established. Ch. 17 Tex.Crim.Pro.

at Art. 17.05 clearly states the Legislative intent in these matters:

       Article 17.05 WHEN BAIL IS TAKEN
       A bail bond is entered into either before a magistrate, upon an examination of a
       criminal accusation, or before a judge upon an application under habeas corpus;
       or is taken from the Defendant by a peace officer if authorized by '‘Article 17.20,
       17.21, or 17.22.

47.    Childress was not arrested on suspicion; neither was Childress being held as a material

witness. Even if such were the case, before the magistrate could set bail, an examining trial must


                                            Page 23 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

be held.

48.    Childress had been arrested subsequent to a formal criminal allegation, booked and

placed in jail, and then brought before a magistrate. This circumstance is contemplated by Article

2.11 Tex. Crim. Pro.:

       Art. 2.11. Examining court
       When the magistrate sits for the purpose of inquiring into a criminal accusation
       against any person, this is called an examining court.

49.    Art. 15.17, supra, may seem long, however, it is an attempt to cover those things that are

normally covered in an examining trial. In one statute the Texas Legislature tried to cover those

things covered in a whole chapter dedicated to examining trials. While I will refrain from

quoting the whole chapter here, it is enough that Ch. 16 Tex.Crim.Pro. titled, “COMMITMENT

OR DISCHARGE OF THE ACCUSED,” is in place.

50.    While the magistrate had a duty to read Childress his rights under Art. 15.17, there was

no provision therein, to determine probable cause, which would render lawful the setting of bail.

Absent a finding of probable cause, bail could not be set.

51.    Now, back to the question: How did the criminal allegations against Childress get

submitted to the magistrate outside a proper examining trial before which Childress, subsequent

to the immediate restraint on his liberty, had a right to attend?

      I. PROBABLE CAUSE DETERMINATION MADE BY INFORMAL METHOD

52.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

53.    The magistrate accepted into evidence allegations of criminal wrongdoing against


                                           Page 24 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

Childress while he was being held without warrant in jail. Some person appeared before the

magistrate and presented the court with evidence apparently sufficient to give a reasonable

person cause to believe Childress had committed the crimes alleged, although, Childress notes

and points out, that no arrest warrant from the magistrate ever issued, as the court record is void

of any such warrant.

54.    Assuming Defendant Schoch and, or NBPD Defendants went before some magistrate and

presented that magistrate with a criminal allegation against Childress, under what provision of

law was this done? This would assume the magistrate was present the night before, before the

arresting officer left for the day. If that was not the case, then who presented evidence to the

court in the accuser's stead and what legal authority did that person have to present hearsay

evidence to the court?

55.    While a third party may have authority to present the complaint to the court notifying

same that a crime had been committed, at the examination into the sufficiency held by the

magistrate subsequent to the arrest of the accused, any supporting testimony as to the facts

supporting the criminal allegation had to be presented in accordance with the Tex.R.Evid.. Said

testimony also had to be reduced to writing and certified by the court.

       Art. 16.09. TESTIMONY REDUCED TO WRITING.
       The testimony of each witness shall be reduced to writing by or under the
       direction of the magistrate, and shall then be read over to the witness, or he may
       read it over himself. Such corrections shall be made in the same as the witness
       may direct; and he shall then sign the same by affixing thereto his name or mark.
       All the testimony thus taken shall be certified to by the magistrate. In lieu of the
       above provision, a statement of facts authenticated by State and defense counsel
       and approved by the presiding magistrate may be used to preserve the testimony
       of witnesses.


                                          Page 25 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT



56.    Nothing exists in the court record to authenticate testimony of a complainant to support

the criminal allegation made against Childress, and any testimony within the court record is

insufficient on its face for lack of verified supporting affidavit. In fact, the court record is void of

any proper complaint made from a complainant with personal first hand knowledge of the

entirety of the events which took place on September 4, 2014.

        “In an examining trial, the truth of the accusation may not be based on the
        accusation alone; such conclusion, if valid, would render the examining trial a
        useless thing, a mere re-enactment of the earlier determination of whether an
        arrest warrant should issue. Ex parte Garcia, 547 S.W.2d 271 (Tex. Crim. App.
        1977). Rather, the state must show that there is a reason to believe that an
        indictment will be preferred for some violation of the law. Ex parte Martin, 119
        Tex. Crim. 141, 45 S.W.2d 965 (1932). Thus, the state has the burden of proving
        that there is probable cause to believe the accused committed the offense charged
        against him or her.” State ex rel. Holmes v. Salinas, 784 S.W.2d 421 (Tex. Crim.
        App. 1990).

57.    In either case, a hearing of some type was convened at which evidence was presented to

the court ex parte, while Childress was present in the building but physically restrained from

being present at the hearing.

58.    It is the specific allegation and contention of Childress that some person employed either

by the NEW BRAUNFELS POLICE DEPARTMENT, or by the confining agency COMAL

COUNTY JAIL, having no personal knowledge of the evidence, presented criminal allegations

to the court and supporting evidence alleging criminal acts by Childress. It is further the

contention of Childress that said presentation occurred outside a proper hearing to which

Childress had a statutory right to be present at.

        Art. 16.01. EXAMINING TRIAL
        When the accused has been brought before a magistrate for an examining trial that

                                            Page 26 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       officer shall proceed to examine into the truth of the accusation made, allowing
       the accused, however, sufficient time to procure counsel. In a proper case, the
       magistrate may appoint counsel to represent an accused in such examining trial
       only, to be compensated as otherwise provided in this Code. The accused in any
       felony case shall have the right to an examining trial before indictment in the
       county having jurisdiction of the offense, whether he be in custody or on bail, at
       which time the magistrate at the hearing shall determine the amount or sufficiency
       of bail, if a bailable case. If the accused has been transferred for criminal
       prosecution after a hearing under Section 54.02, Family Code, the accused may be
       granted an examining trial at the discretion of the court.

                             J. INCOMPLETE COURT RECORD

59.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

60.    Subsequent to the hearing wherein probable cause was allegedly determined, the

magistrate was directed by Art. 17.30 Tex.Crim.Pro., as follows:

       Art. 17.30. Shall certify proceedings
       The magistrate, before whom an examination has taken place upon a criminal
       accusation, shall certify to all the proceedings had before him, as well as where he
       discharges, holds to bail or commits, and transmit them, sealed up, to the court
       before which the Defendant may be tried, writing his name across the seals of the
       envelope. The voluntary statement of the Defendant, the testimony, bail bonds,
       and every other proceeding in the case, shall be thus delivered to the clerk of the
       proper court, without delay.

61.    Childress states that there is nothing in the court record to indicate the magistrate

complied with the requirement of Art. 17.30, supra. In point of fact, Childress further states that

there is nothing in the court record at all that is required and there are documents missing that are

required in order for the court to maintain jurisdiction. Therefore, it must be presumed that the

magistrate did not forward all the records of the hearing, sealed up, to the clerk of the proper

court. Said act is in direct violation of Sec. 37.10 Tex.Pen.Code:



                                           Page 27 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

        § 37.10. TAMPERING WITH GOVERNMENTAL RECORD
        A person commits an offense if he:
        (a) knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, a governmental record;
        (b) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its
        falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record;
        (c) intentionally destroys, conceals, removes, or otherwise impairs the verity,
        legibility, or availability of a governmental record;

        "A departure by a court from those recognized and established requirements of
        law, however close apparent adherence to mere form in method of procedure,
        which has the effect of depriving one of a constitutional right, is an excess of
        jurisdiction." Wuest v. Wuest, 127 P2d 934, 937.

        "Where a court failed to observe safeguards, it amounts to denial of due process
        of law, court is deprived of juris." Merritt v. Hunter, C.A. Kansas 170 F2d 739.

                   K. MAGISTRATE CONSPIRED WITH JAILER
               TOWARD TAMPERING WITH GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT

62.     All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

63.     It is the contention and specific allegation of Childress, that after the hearing wherein

Childress was set to bail, the magistrate did not forward the records of the hearing to the clerk of

the COMAL COUNTY COURT AT LAW #2, sealed up as required by law, but rather, returned

them to the jailer.

64.     Further, it is the specific allegation of Childress that the magistrate acted in concert and

collusion with the jailer(s) to deny Childress in the due course of the laws by secreting the

charges against Childress from the clerk of the COMAL COUNTY COURT AT LAW #2,

thereby, placing Childress in a state of legal limbo, wherein Childress found his liberty restricted

by being bound to the court, his property improperly taken and unable to render actions in his

behalf as there was and is no record of the above proceedings. It is as if Childress existed in a


                                           Page 28 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

state of limbo between arrest and trial.

                             L. STATE ACTORS DISQUALIFIED

65.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

66.    Defendant Schoch and NBPD Defendants, consequent to the illegal and ulawful acts

performed thereby, and demonstrated herein, were and are criminal trespassers on the laws of the

State of Texas and, thereby, cannot be construed as credible persons for the purpose of providing

witness. By the illegal acts of Defendant Schoch and NBPD Defendants, the State was rendered

without jurisdiction to pursue prosecution as a result of violations of the due course of the laws

and due process secured by the federal constitution, by State licensed contractor and, or

employees.

67.    The jailers subjected Childress to deliberately contrived punishment subsequent to arrest

and for the period of time between arrest and bringing Childress before a magistrate in violation

of the due course of the laws of the State of Texas and due process secured by the federal

constitution, and thereby, the confinement of Childress while he was being secreted from a

magistrate absent a showing of some compelling cause beyond mere contrived policy, also

rendered the State without jurisdiction to pursue prosecution.

68.    The magistrate, in its turn, by denying Childress audience at the examining trial where

probable cause was allegedly found and bail set, denied Childress in the due course of the laws

of the State of Texas and due process secured by the federal constitution and thereby, disqualified

itself, leaving both the magistrate and this court without jurisdiction to pursue prosecution in the


                                           Page 29 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

instant matter.

       “Acts in excess of judicial authority constitutes misconduct, particularly where a
       judge deliberately disregards the requirements of fairness and due process.”
       Cannon v. Commission on Judicial Qualifications, (1975) 14 Cal. 3D 678, 694.

       “Society's commitment to institutional justice requires that judges be solicitous of
       the rights of persons who come before the court.” Geiler v. Commission on
       Judicial Qualifications, (1973) 10 Cal.3d 270, 286.

       “Before sending a person to jail for contempt or imposing a fine, judges are
       required to provide due process of law, including strict adherence to the
       procedural requirements contained in the Code of Civil Procedure. Ignorance of
       these procedures is not a mitigating but an aggravating factor.” Ryan v.
       Commission on Judicial Performance, (1988) 45 Cal. 3D 518, 533.

       "No judicial process, whatever form it may assume, can have any lawful authority
       outside of the limits of the jurisdiction of the court or judge by whom it is issued;
       and an attempt to enforce it beyond these boundaries is nothing less than lawless
       violence.” Ableman v. Booth, 21 Howard 506 (1859).

       "Where there is no jurisdiction, there can be no discretion, for discretion is
       incident to jurisdiction." Piper v. Pearson, 2 Gray 120, cited in Bradley v. Fisher,
       13 Wall. 335, 20 L.Ed. 646 (1872).

       “When a judicial officer acts entirely without jurisdiction or without compliance
       with jurisdiction requisites he may be held civilly liable for abuse of process even
       though his act involved a decision made in good faith, that he had jurisdiction.”
       U.S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 217 Miss. 576, 64 So. 2D 697.

       “When a judge knows that he lacks jurisdiction, or acts in the face of clearly valid
       statutes expressly depriving him of jurisdiction, judicial immunity is lost.” Zeller
       v. Rankin, 101 S.Ct. 2020, 451 U.S. 939, 68 L.Ed 2d 326.

       “Under federal Law, which is applicable to all states, the U.S. Supreme Court
       stated that 'if a court is without authority, its judgments and orders are regarded as
       nullities. They are not voidable, but simply void, and form no bar to a recovery
       sought, even prior to a reversal in opposition to them. They constitute no
       justification and all persons concerned in executing such judgments or sentences
       are considered, in law, as trespassers.'" Elliot v. Piersol, 1 Pet. 328, 340, 26 U.S.
       328, 340 (1828).

       Art. 3.04. OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT. In this code:
       (1) "Official misconduct" means an offense that is an intentional or knowing
       violation of a law committed by a public servant while acting in an official
       capacity as a public servant.
       (2) "Public servant" has the meaning assigned by Section 1.07, Penal Code.

       Texas Penal Code
       CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
       Sec. 1.07. DEFINITIONS. (a) In this code
       (41) "Public servant" means a person elected, selected, appointed, employed, or
       otherwise designated as one of the following, even if he has not yet qualified for
       office or assumed his duties:
       (A) an officer, employee, or agent of government;
       (C) an arbitrator, referee, or other person who is authorized by law or private
       written agreement to hear or determine a cause or controversy;

69.    As a result of Defendant Schoch's and NBPD Defendant's tortious and criminal acts, non-

compliance with the Tex. Occupations Code and Tex.C.Crim.Proc., Official Misconduct, Failure

to Exhaust Administrative Remedies, and Denial of Substantive and Procedural Due Process, in

addition to the magistrate's non-compliance with the Tex.C.Crim.Proc., Official Misconduct,

Denial of Procedural Due Process and aiding the Denial of Substantive Due Process, and a lack

of any Competent Witnesses, this court lacked jurisdiction from the onset to issue and summons,

warrants, etc. or to render any judgment or decision against Childress.

70.    Unlike personal or territorial jurisdiction, subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be waived

and subpoenas, summons, warrants, orders and judgments, etc., from a court that did not have

subject-matter jurisdiction are forever a nullity. Subject matter can never be presumed, never be

waived, and cannot be constructed even by mutual consent of the parties. Subject matter

jurisdiction is two parts: (1) the statutory or common law authority for the court to hear the case;

and, (2) the appearance and testimony of a competent fact witness, in other words, sufficiency of


                                          Page 31 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

pleadings. Even if a court has or appears to have subject matter jurisdiction, subject matter

jurisdiction can be lost. Major reasons why subject matter jurisdiction is lost:

       (1) “fraud upon the court.” In re Village of Willowbrook, 37 Ill.App.3d 393
       (1962)

               “Fraud upon the court is reserved for only the most egregious
               misconduct, and requires a showing of an unconscionable plan or
               scheme which is designed to improperly influence the court in its
               decision.” Wilson v. Johns-Manville Sales Corp., 873 F.2d 868,
               872 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 977 (1989). “The narrow
               concept of fraud upon the court... is a fraud perpetrated by officers
               of the court so that the judicial machinery cannot perform in the
               usual manner.” (Id.)

71.    The magistrate's actions, demonstrated supra, constitute fraud, and same was perpetrated

so that the judicial machinery of the court could not, and did not, perform in the usual manner.

       (2) “...a judge does not follow statutory procedure.” Armstrong v. Obucino, 300 Ill

       140, 143 (1921).

72.    As demonstrated supra, the magistrate for the court did not follow statutory procedures

set out within the Tex.C.Crim.Proc.

       (3) Unlawful activity of a judge or undisclosed conflict of interest. Code of
       Judicial Conduct.

73.    Defendants collectively, as well as, ABIGAIL L. WHITAKER and CHARLES A.

STEPHENS, II are all representatives and, or agents of NEW BRAUNFELS, CITY OF; or

COMAL, COUNTY OF; or THE STATE OF TEXAS creating a serious Conflict of Interest.

Under the circumstances, CHARLES A. STEPHENS, II is acting as representative, agent of

NEW BRAUNFELS, CITY OF; COMAL, COUNTY OF; and, or THE STATE OF TEXAS and

“judge”. It has not been disclosed by any of the aforementioned Individuals that each of them are

representatives and, or agents of Childress's adversary, and receiving compensation, therefrom,

creating a conflict of interest.

        (4) “...violation of due process.” Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 58 S.Ct. 1019
        (1938); Pure Oil Co. v. City of Northlake, 10 Ill.2d 241, 245, 140 N.E.2d 289
        (1956); Hallberg v. Goldblatt Bros., 363 Ill 25 (1936).

        (5) "A judgment is void if the court that rendered it lacked jurisdiction of the
        parties, or if its actions resulted in a denial of due process." Sramek v. Sramek, 17
        Kan. App. 2d 573, 576-77, 840 P.2d 553 (1992), rev. denied 252 Kan. 1093 (1993)
        (citing 9 Kan. App.2d 735, Syl. ¶ 5. "A judgment that is void for lack of due
        process may be set aside at any time." 9 Kan. App.2d 735)

74.     Defendant Schoch caused Childress to be subjected to, and NBPD Defendants subjected

Childress to, an unreasonable, illegal search and seizure, unlawful false arrest, aggravated

assault, unlawful restraint, unlawful imprisonment, and denial of substantive and procedural due

process. The magistrate for the state court subjected Childress to illegal court proceedings, denial

of notice and confrontation, unlawful imprisonment, denial of liberty and property without due

process. CHARLES A. STEPHENS, II, is threatening to further subject Childress to

unreasonable, illegal search and seizure, unlawful false arrest and unlawful imprisonment, and

denial of substantive and procedural due process by issuing a warrant for Childress on February

26, 2015, while lacking any jurisdiction to do so, rendering the warrant issued by CHARLES A.

STEPHENS, II, void.

        (6) “...where no justiciable issue is presented to the court through proper
        pleadings.” Ligon v. Williams, 264 Ill.App.3d 701, 637 N.E.2d 633 (1st Dist.
        1994).

75.     The court record is void of any proper pleading, or any pleading at all, against Childress.

        (7) “...where a complaint states no cognizable cause of action against that party.”
        Charles v. Gore, 248 Ill.App.3d 441, 618 N.E. 2d 554 (1st Dist 1993).

76.     The court record is void of any complaint stating any cause of action against Childress.

The “Police Report” made by Bell is Hearsay– See, which is attached hereto, and incorporated

herein, in its entirety:

and should not appear in the court record as Childress has not request that it be entered, therein.

If the “Police Report” by Bell has been entered into the court record, it was entered into court

record by some Individual outside the presence of Childress and without Childress's knowledge,

thereby, denying Childress notice and opportunity to make objections. "A Judge...shall not

directly or indirectly initiate, permit, nor consider ex parte or other private communications

concerning the merits of a pending or impending judicial proceeding. A Judge shall require

compliance with this subsection by court personnel subject to his or her direction and control... "

        Court Rules.” Janove v. Bacon, 6 Ill.2d 245, 249, 218 N.E.2d 706, 708 (1955).

        (9) "The failure to properly serve parties in interest deprives the court of personal
        jurisdiction of the unserved parties." Sramek v. Sramek, 17 Kan. App. 2d 573,

        P.2d 834 (1985))

77.     There has been no service of process made upon Childress by or through any of the

Defendant or the court at any point. The court record is void of any service of process or proof

thereof.

        (10) “...when proper notice is not given to all parties by the movant.” Wilson v.


                                           Page 34 of 89

       Moore, 13 Ill.App.3d 632, 301 N.E.2d 39 (1st Dist. 1973).

78.    Childress never received any notice by or through the Defendants and the court. As

demonstrated above, the court never, at any point, had jurisdiction. Even in the even the court did

appear to have jurisdiction, such was lost as a result of the acts of Defendant Schoch, NBPD

Defendants, and the magistrate.

79.     As stated and demonstrated, supra, the court is without jurisdiction and the “arrest

warrant” issued by CHARLES A. STEPHENS, II is not voidable, it is simply void– See, which

is attached hereto, and incorporated herein, in its entirety:

                                   TABLE OF AUTHORITIES:

80.    The “ORDER FOR ARREST-FAILURE TO APPEAR” and “CAPIAS-FAILURE TO

APPEAR”, “arrest warrant” issued by CHARLES A. STEPHENS, II, in absence of any

jurisdiction, and are null and void, and the arrest of Childress thereon, will result in further false

arrest, and his imprisonment as a result therefrom, unlawful.

       "The fact that the petitioner was released on a promise to appear before a
       magistrate for an arraignment, that fact is circumstance to be considered in
       determining whether in first instance there was a probable cause for the arrest."
       Monroe v. Papa, DC, Ill. 1963, 221 F Supp 685.

                    M. PROSECUTOR NOT COMPETENT TO TESTIFY

81.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

82.    As stated and shown above, and within Childress's Affidavit for Countercomplaint,

Defendants collectively as a result of their tortious and criminal acts, are disqualified as



                                            Page 35 of 89
                             AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

witnesses against Childress. The Prosecutor, ABIGAIL L. WHITAKER is also disqualified from

providing witness against Childress, pursuant to the Federal and State Rules of Evidence, and

pursuant to court rulings.

83.    The Prosecutor, ABIGAIL L. WHITAKER is barred as a witness against Childress by the

Federal and this State's Rules of Evidence:

                                   Federal Rules of Evidence

       Rule 601. Competency to Testify in General
       Every person is competent to be a witness unless these rules provide otherwise.
       But in a civil case, state law governs the witness’s competency regarding a claim
       or defense for which state law supplies the rule of decision.

       Rule 602. Need for Personal Knowledge
       A witness may testify to a matter only if evidence is introduced sufficient to
       support a finding that the witness has personal knowledge of the matter. Evidence
       to prove personal knowledge may consist of the witness’s own testimony.

       Rule 802. The Rule Against Hearsay
       Hearsay is not admissible unless any of the following provides otherwise:
          • a federal statute;
          • these rules; or
          • other rules prescribed by the Supreme Court.

                                    Texas Rules of Evidence

       RULE 601. COMPETENCY AND INCOMPETENCY OF WITNESSES
       (a) General Rule. Every person is competent to be a witness except as otherwise
       provided in these rules. The following witnesses shall be incompetent to testify in
       any proceeding subject to these rules:
       (1) Insane persons.
       (2) Children.

       RULE 602. LACK OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
       A witness may not testify to a matter unless evidence is introduced sufficient to
       support a finding that the witness has personal knowledge of the matter. Evidence
       to prove personal knowledge may, but need not, consist of the testimony of the
       witness. This rule is subject to the provisions of Rule 703, relating to opinion

                                          Page 36 of 89

       testimony by expert witnesses.

       ARTICLE VIII. HEARSAY
       RULE 801. DEFINITIONS

       RULE 802. HEARSAY RULE
       Hearsay is not admissible except as provided by statute or these rules or by other
       rules prescribed pursuant to statutory authority. Inadmissible hearsay admitted
       without objection shall not be denied probative value merely because it is hearsay.

84.    The prosecutor ABIGAIL L. WHITAKER has no personal knowledge of the events

which took place on September 4, 2014, between Childress and Defendants collectively and is

not a competent witness. Any offer of knowledge of those events from ABIGAIL L.

WHITAKER is Hearsay and therefore, is not admissible as evidence against Childress.

85.    The following court ruling citations make it clear that an attorney cannot testify or

provide facts before a court:

       “An attorney for the plaintiff cannot admit evidence into the court. He is either an
       attorney or a witness. Trinsey v. Pagliaro, D.C. Pa. 1964, 229 F. Supp. 647.

       “Manifestly, [such statements] cannot be properly considered by us in the
       disposition of [a] case.” United States v. Lovasco, (06/09/77) 431 U.S. 783, 97 S.
       Ct. 2044, 52 L. Ed. 2D 752.

       “Under no possible view, however, of the findings we are considering can they be
       held to constitute a compliance with the statute, since they merely embody
       conflicting statements of counsel concerning the faces as they suppose them to be
       and their appreciation of the law which they deem applicable, there being,
       therefore, no attempt whatever to state the ultimate facts by a consideration of
       which we would be able to conclude whether or not the judgment was warranted.”
       Gonzales v. Buist, (04/01/12) 224 U.S. 126, 56 L. Ed. 693, 32 S. Ct. 463.

       “No instruction was asked, but, as we have said, the judge told the jury that they
       were to regard only the evidence admitted by him, not statements of counsel.”
       Holt v. United States, (10/31/10) 218 U.S. 246, 54 L. Ed. 1021, 31 S. Ct. 2.

       “The prosecutor is not a witness”; and he should not be permitted to add to the

record either by subtle or gross improprieties. Those who have experienced the
full thrust of the power of government when leveled against them know that the
only protection the citizen has is in the requirement for a fair trial.” Donnelly v.
Dechristoforo, 1974. SCT.41709, 56 ;416 U.S. 637 (1974).
Mr. Justice Douglas, dissenting.

“Care has been taken, however, in summoning witnesses to testify, to call no man
whose character or whose word could be successfully impeached by methods
known to the law. And it is remarkable, we submit, that in a case of this
magnitude, with every means and resource at their command, the complainants,
after years of effort and search in near and in the most remote paths, and in every
collateral by-way, now rest the charges of conspiracy and gullibility against these
witnesses, only upon the bare statements of counsel. The lives of all the witnesses
are clean, their characters for truth and veracity un-assailed, and the evidence of
any attempt to influence the memory or the impressions of any man called, cannot
be successfully pointed out in this record.” Telephone Cases. Dolbear v. American
Bell Telephone Company, Molecular Telephone Company v. American Bell
Telephone Company, American Bell Telephone Company v. Molecular Telephone
Company, Clay Commerical Telephone Company v. American Bell Telephone
Company, People's Telephone Company v. American Bell Telephone Company,

three) (03/19/88) 126 U.S. 1, 31 L. Ed. 863, 8 S. Ct. 778.

“Statements of counsel in brief or argument are not sufficient for motion to
dismiss or for summary judgment.” Trinsey v. Pagliaro, D.C. Pa. 1964, 229 F.
Supp. 647.

“Where there are no depositions, admissions, or affidavits the court has not fact to

“The practices of an attorney filings an affidavit on behalf of his client asserting
the status of the client is not approved, inasmuch as not only does the affidavit
become hearsay, but it places the attorney in a position of witness thus
compromising his role as advocate.” Porter v. Porter, (N.D. 1979) 274 N.W. 2D
235.

       may be engaged applies to affidavits as well.” Deyo v. Detroit Creamery Co.,
       (Mich 1932) 241 N.W. 2d. 244.

86.    As a result of Defendant's, collectively, tortious and criminal acts, non-compliance,

Official Misconduct, Failure to Exhaust Administrative Remedies, and Denial of Substantive and

Procedural Due Process, and lack of any Competent Witnesses, this court lacks Subject Matter

and Personal Jurisdiction in the instant case / cause to issue summons, warrants, etc., or to render

any judgment or decision against Childress. Where there is no jurisdiction, there is no judicial

function or judicial immunity (see, Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349 (1978); Vickery v.

Dunnivan, 279 P.2d 853, (1955)).

87.    All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

88.    This Court, and all public offices, are defined under FRCP Rule 4 (j) as a FOREIGN

STATE, and as defined under TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE, the

Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) of 1976 is a United States law, codified at Title 28, §

1330, § 1332, § 1391(f), § 1441(d), and § 1602-1611.

89.    This Court is being jurisdictionally challenged and “full disclosure” of the “true”

jurisdiction of this Court is now being Demanded.

90.    Any failure to disclose this Court's true jurisdiction is a violation of 15 Statutes at Large


                                          Page 39 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

249, for this Act was passed to remove The People of the united States of America from the

federal citizenship under the 14th amendment (ratified by Texas on February 18, 1870, after

rejection – October 27, 1866).

       15 Statutes at Large, Chapter 249, enacted July 27, 1868, states the following:

       PREAMBLE - Rights of American citizens in foreign states.

       WHEREAS, the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people,
       indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
       happiness; and whereas in the recognition of this principle this government has
       freely received emigrants from all nations, and invested them with the rights of
       citizenship; and whereas it is claimed that such American citizens, with their
       descendants, are subjects of foreign states, owing allegiance to the governments
       thereof; and whereas it is necessary to the maintenance of public peace that this
       claim of foreign allegiance should be promptly and finally disavowed.

       SECTION I - Right of expatriation declared.
       THEREFORE, Be it enacted by the Senate of the and House of Representatives
       of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That any declaration,
       instruction, opinion, order, or decision of any officers of this government which
       denies, restricts, impairs, or questions the right of expatriation, is hereby declared
       inconsistent with the fundamental principles of this government.

       SECTION II - Protection to naturalized citizens in foreign states.
       And it is further enacted, That all naturalized citizens of the United States, while
       in foreign states, shall be entitled to, and shall receive from this government, the
       same protection of persons and property that is accorded to native born citizens in
       like situations and circumstances.

       SECTION III - Release of citizens imprisoned by foreign governments to be
       demanded.
       And it is further enacted, That whenever it shall be made known to the President
       that any citizen of the United States has been unjustly deprived of his liberty by or
       under the authority of any foreign government, it shall be the duty of the President
       forthwith to demand of that government the reasons for such imprisonment, and if
       it appears to be wrongful and in the violation of the rights of American
       citizenship, the President shall forthwith demand the release of such citizen, and if
       the release so demanded is unreasonably delayed or refused, it shall be the duty of
       the President to use such means, not amounting to acts of war, as he may think


                                          Page 40 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

         necessary and proper to obtain or effectuate such release, and all the facts and
         proceedings relative thereto shall as soon as practicable be communicated by the
         President to Congress.

         Approved, July 27, 1868

91.      As an American Citizen, Childress holds the inherent right to invoke the 11th

Amendment: “The judicial power shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity,

commenced or prosecuted by a Foreign State.” As an America Citizen, Childress, hereby claims

the right of immunity inherent in the 11th amendment. The judicial power and jurisdiction shall

not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted by a Foreign

State.

92.      This Court and the Prosecutor representing the STATE OF TEXAS are considered a

FOREIGN STATE to Childress, as those offices hold a position under section three (3) of the

14th Amendment of the UNITED STATES Constitution, as well as, under the Reconstruction Act

of 1867, as federal citizen(s) per Acts of Congress, 8 U.S.C. § 1483, “Restrictions on loss of

nationality.”

             B. OATH OF OFFICE MAKES PUBLIC OFFICIALS “FOREIGN”

93.      All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

94.      Those holding Federal or State public office, county or municipal office, under the

Legislative, Executive or Judicial branch, including Court Officials, Judges, Prosecutors, Law

Enforcement Department employees, Officers of the Court, etc., before entering into these public

offices, are required by the U.S. Constitution and statutory law to comply with 5 U.S.C. § 3331



                                          Page 41 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

“Oath of office.” State Officials are also required to meet this same obligation, according to State

Constitutions and State statutory law.

95.    All oaths of office come under 22 C.F.R., Foreign Relations, Sections § 92.12 – 92.30,

and all who hold public office come under 8 U.S.C. § 1481 “Loss of nationality by native-born

or naturalized citizen; voluntary action; burden of proof; presumptions.”

96.    Under 22 U.S.C. § 611, Foreign Relations and Intercourse, a Public Official is considered

a foreign agent. In order to hold public office, the candidate must file a true and complete

registration statement with the State Attorney General as a foreign principle.

97.    The Oath of Office requires the public official in its foreign state capacity to uphold the

constitutional form of government or face consequences:

       Title 10 U.S.C. § 333. “Interference with State and Federal law”
       The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other
       means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State,
       any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
               (1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United
               States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a
               right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and
               secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable,
               fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that
               protection; or
               (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or
               impedes the course of justice under those laws.
       In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have
       denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.

98.    Such willful action, while serving in official capacity, violates 18 U.S.C., § 1918:

       Title 18 U.S.C. § 1918:
       “Disloyalty and asserting the right to strike against the government”
       Whoever violates the provision of 7311 of title 5 that an individual may not
       accept or hold a position in the Government of the United States or the
       government of the District of Columbia if he—


                                          Page 42 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       (1) advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government;
       (2) is a member of an organization that he knows advocates the overthrow of our
       constitutional form of government;
       shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year and a day, or
       both.

99.    Such willful action, while serving in official capacity also deprives claimants of “honest
services”:

       Title 18 U.S.C. § 1346:
       Definition of “ scheme or artifice to defraud”
       For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes
       a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.

               D. NOTICE OF FOREIGN STATE STATUS OF THE COURT

105.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

106.   This court, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 4 (j), is, in fact

and at law, a FOREIGN STATE as defined in Title 28 U.S.C. § 1602, et. Seq., The F.S.I.A. of

1976 (Pub. L. 94-583), and, therefore, lacks jurisdiction in the above referenced case. Childress

places before this Court the following legal definitions and terms:

       Foreign Court: The courts of a foreign state or nation. In the United States, this
       term is frequently applied to the courts of one of the States when their judgment
       or records are introduced in the courts of another.

       Foreign jurisdiction: Any jurisdiction foreign to that of the forum; e.g., a sister
       state or another country. Also, the exercise by a state or nation jurisdiction beyond
       its own territory. Long-arm service of process is a form of such foreign or
       extraterritorial jurisdiction.

       Foreign laws: The laws of a foreign country, or of a sister state. In conflicts of
       law, the legal principles of jurisprudence which are part of the law of a sister state
       or nation. Foreign laws are additions to our own laws, and in that respect are
       called “jus receptum.”

       Foreign corporation: A corporation doing business in one State though chartered
       or incorporated in another state is a foreign corporation as to the first state, and, as
       such, is required to consent to certain conditions and restrictions in order to do
       business in such first state. Under federal tax laws, a foreign corporation is one
       which is not organized under the law of one of the States or Territories of the
       United States. I.R.C. § 7701 (a) (5). Service of process on foreign corporation is
       governed by the Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 See also Corporation.

       Foreign service of process: Service of process for the acquisition of jurisdiction
       by a court in the United States upon a person in a foreign country is prescribed by


                                           Page 45 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       Fed R. Civ. P. 4 (i) and 28 U.S.C.A. § 1608. Service of process on foreign
       corporations is governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d) (3).

       Foreign states: Nations which are outside the United States. Term may also refer
       to another state; i.e. a sister state.

       Foreign immunity: With respect to jurisdictional immunity of foreign states, see
       28 USC, Sec. §1602 et seq. Title 8 USC, Chapter 12, Subchapter I, Sec.
       §1101(14) The term “foreign state” includes outlying possessions of a foreign
       state, but self-governing dominions or territories under mandate or trusteeship
       shall be regarded as separate foreign states.

       Profiteering: Taking advantage of unusual or exceptional circumstance to make
       excessive profit; e.g. selling of scarce or essential goods at inflated price during
       time of emergency or war.

       Person: In general usage, a human being (i.e. natural person) though by statute
       the term may include a firm, labor organizations, partnerships, associations,
       corporations, legal representative, trusts, trustees in bankruptcy, or receivers.
       National Labor Relations Act, §2(1).

       Definition of the term “person”: under Title 26, Subtitle F, Chapter 75,
       Subchapter D, Sec. Sec. §7343 –– The term “person” as used in this chapter
       includes an officer or employee of a corporation, or a member or employee of a
       partnership, who as such officer, employee or member is under a duty to perform
       the act in respect of which the violation occurs. A corporation is a ”person” within
       the meaning of equal protection and due process provisions of the United States
       Constitution.

107.   Childress, the “real party in interest” hereby demands full disclosure of the true and

limited jurisdiction of this court. Any such failure violates 18 U.S.C. §1001, 1505, and 2331.

       Fraud is deceit, deception, artifice, or trickery operating prejudicially on the rights
       of another, and so intended by so inducing him to part with property or surrender
       some legal right. 23 Am J2d Fraud § 2. Anything calculated to deceive another to
       his prejudice and accompanying the purpose, whether it be an act, a word, silence,
       the suppression of the truth, or other device contrary to the plain rules of common
       honesty. 23 Am J2d Fraud § 2. An affirmation of a fact rather than a promise or
       statement of intent to do something in the future. Miller v. Sutliff, 241 III 521, 89
       NE 651.



                                           Page 46 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

108.   There are three different and distinct forms of the “United States” as revealed by the

following:

       “The high Court confirmed that the term "United States" can and does mean three
       completely different things, depending on the context.” Hooven & Allison Co. vs.
       Evatt, 324 U.S. 652 (1945) & United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1876) &
       United States v. Bevans, 16 U.S. 3 Wheat. 336, 336 (1818).

109.   The Court and its officers have failed to state which United States they represent, since

they can represent only one, the Federal Debt Collection Procedure, as a corporation, the United

States, Inc., and it’s satellite corporations have no jurisdiction over Childress, an American

Citizen. (See, Penhallow v. Doane's Administrators, infra) Childress, a belligerent claimant,

hereby asserts that he has the right of immunity inherent in the 11th amendment:

       “The judicial power shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity,
       commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another
       state, or by citizens of any Foreign State.”

110.   This Court is a business, corporation for profit, a subsidiary of JUDICIARY COURTS OF

THE STATEF OF TEXAS, (DUNS# 36-070-5040) which is a corporate subsidiary of the STATE

OF TEXAS (DUNS# 00-253-7595), evidenced by Dun and Bradstreet Credit Reports. As a result

of this Court's corporate status, it cannot concern itself with Childress, as he is not an artificial

person, rather, is a constituent, member of The People; Childress is tangible, therefore, this Court

cannot obtain parity therewith. This Court can only concern itself with artificial persons, the

intangible and only with corporate persons and the contracts between those persons.

       Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a
       creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial
       persons. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from
       creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of this is
       that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern


                                           Page 47 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts
       between them. “ S.C.R. 1795, Penhallow v. Doane's Administrators (3 U.S. 54; 1
       L. Ed. 57; 3 Dall. 54) Supreme Court of the United States 1795.

111.   MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, and STATE COURTS lack jurisdiction to hear any case under

the FOREIGN STATE definitions. The jurisdiction of FOREIGN SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY

lies with the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT under the FSIA Statutes pursuant to 28 USC

§ 1330, and not within a County or State Court.

112.   Whereas, Childress is a non-corporate entity and is not registered with any Secretary of

State as a CORPORATION, the Prosecution has FAILED to state a claim to which relief can be

granted under Rule 12 (b) (6); it is, therefore, this matter must be dismissed for lack of political,

personal, and subject matter jurisdiction, improper Venue, and under the 11th Amendment

limitations.

113.   This court, by definition is a FOREIGN STATE, corporation and is erroneously

proceeding against Childress, a living man, tangible, a constituent, member of The People, who

is not a “person,” which term is a “term of art” meaning: a creature of the law, an artificial

being, and a CORPORATION or ens legis:

       “Ens Legis. L. Lat. A creature of the law; an artificial being, as contrasted with a
       natural person. Applied to corporations, considered as deriving their existence
       entirely from the law.” – Blacks Law Dictionary, 4th Edition, 1951.

114.   All complaints and suits against CORPORATIONS, or an ens legis, fall under the

aforementioned FSIA and service of process must therefore be made by the clerk of the court,

under 28 U.S.C. § 1608 (a) (4), 63 stat 111, as amended (22 U.S.C. § 2658) [42 F.R. § 6367, Feb.

2, 1977, as amended at 63 F.R. § 16687, Apr. 6, 1998], to the Director of the Office of Special



                                           Page 48 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

Consular Services in the Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of State, in Washington, D.C.,

exclusively, pursuant to 22 C.F.R. § 93.1 and § 93.2. A copy of the FSIA must be filed with the

complaint along with “a certified copy of the diplomatic note of transmittal,” and, “the

certification shall state the date and place the documents were delivered.” The foregoing must be

served upon the Chief Executive Officer and upon the Registered Agent of the designated

CORPORATION or FOREIGN STATE.

115.   MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, and STATE COURTS lack jurisdiction to hear any case since

they fall under the definition of FOREIGN STATE, and under all related definitions, supra. Said

jurisdiction lies with the “district court of the United States,” established by Congress in the

states under Article III of the Constitution, which are “constitutional courts” and do not include

the territorial courts created under Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2, which are “legislative” courts.

Hornbuckle v. Toombs, 85 U.S. 648, 21 L. Ed. 966 (1873), (See, 28 U.S.C. Rule 1101),

exclusively, under the FSIA Statutes pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1330.

116.   It is an undisputed, conclusive presumption that Childress is the real party in interest and

is not a CORPORATION, and, further, is not registered with any Secretary of State as a

CORPORATION. Pursuant to Rule 12 (b) (6), the Prosecuting Attorney has failed to state a

claim for which relief can be granted, a fatal defect, and, therefore, the instant case and all

related matters must be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for lack of personal, political, and

subject matter jurisdiction, as well as for improper Venue, as well as pursuant to the 11 th

amendment Foreign State Immunity.

117.   Moreover, process in the above referenced case is not “regular on its face. ”Regular on its



                                           Page 49 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

Face – “Process is said to be “regular on its face” when it proceeds from the court, officer, or

body having authority of law to issue process of that nature, and which is legal in form, and

contains nothing to notify, or fairly apprise any one that it is issued without authority.”

               E. COURT LACKS JUDICIAL POWER IN LAW OR EQUITY

118.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

119.   Childress points out that a Federal, State, County, or municipal government, corporation

can be sued in its corporate capacity when functioning as federal debt collectors under the Fair

Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and under the Clearfield Doctrine (See, Clearfield Trust

Co. v. United States, 318 U.S. 363 (1943) ). If the Federal, State, County, or Municipal

government, corporation, can claim immunity under the 11th Amendment, then the Federal, State,

County or municipal government, corporations cannot use Law or Equity jurisdiction against

Childress, or The People, in Court since The People, of which Childress is a member of, are not

subject to a “foreign state” under 28 U.S.C., Judicial Procedure, § 1602 - 1610. The States are

made up of “State Citizens,” and under the 11th Amendment, “State Citizens” cannot be sued by a

“foreign state.”

120.   Childress also points out that Article III section 2 and the 11th Amendment of the

Constitution are in conflict. A court cannot convene under Article III equity jurisdiction and then

have its public officers claim 11th amendment immunity. The court is operating in a foreign state

capacity against The People once the court officials take their oath, and the court officials cannot

have it both ways.



                                           Page 50 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

              Article III Section 2
              The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity,
              arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and
              treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;—to
              all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;
              —to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;—to
              controversies to which the United States shall be a party;—to
              controversies between two or more states;—between a state and
              citizens of another state;—between citizens of different states;—
              between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of
              different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and
              foreign states, citizens or subjects.

121.   The ratification of the Eleventh Amendment on February 7, 1795 effectively altered

Article III Section 2, and now “All” public offices are using the Eleventh Amendment as a

defense against being sued, whereas, the Eleventh Amendment actually removed protection since

judicial power no longer extended to any suit in Law or Equity, and subsequently afforded The

People the same protection as any level of government. The People cannot be charged in Law or

Equity claims by anyone in the government services corporation. The court only has one action

as revealed by the Rules of Civil Procedure: “Rule 2—One form of Action: There is only one

form of action – the civil action.” Civil action can be brought only by The People and not by any

level of government.

              Amendment XI
              The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to
              extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted
              against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by
              citizens or subjects of any foreign state.

122.   Childress is aware of the Stripping Doctrine. However, the Constitution was amended

again in 1868 to protect various civil rights, and Section 5 of the 14th Amendment granted

Congress the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of that amendment. The


                                         Page 51 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

courts have recognized that this new amendment, again a consensus of The People, abrogates the

immunity provided by the 11th Amendment. When Congress enacted legislation under the

auspices of Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, they specifically abrogated 11 th Amendment

immunity, and states, as well as, instrumentalities thereof, can, under such federal statutes be

prosecuted in federal court.

123.   Childress will refer the Court’s attention to the 1875 Civil Rights Act. The Supreme Court

ruled that this Congressional enactment was unconstitutional. Civil Rights Acts (1866, 1870,

1875, 1957, 1960, 1964, 1968) U.S. legislation. The Civil Rights Act (1866) gave African-

Americans citizenship and extended civil rights to all persons born in the USA (except Native

Americans). The 1870 Act was passed to re-enact the previous measure, which was considered to

be of dubious constitutionality. In 1883, the US Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the

1870 law. The 1875 Act was passed to outlaw discrimination in public places because of race or

previous servitude. The act was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (1883–85),

(U.S. Supreme Court Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3 (1883) Civil Rights Cases Submitted

October Term, 1882 Decided October 16th, 1888 109 U.S. 3) which stated that the 14th

Amendment, the constitutional basis of the act, protected individual rights against

infringement by the states, not by other individuals. The 1957 Act established the Civil Rights

Commission to investigate violations of the 15th Amendment. The 1960 Act enabled court-

appointed federal officials to protect black voting rights. An act of violence to obstruct a court

order became a federal offense. The 1964 Act established as law equal rights for all citizens in

voting, education, public accommodations and in federally-assisted programs. The 1968 Act



                                         Page 52 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

guaranteed equal treatment in housing and real estate to all citizens.

124.   No level of the Executive or Judicial government has ever introduced into any Court

action a real party of interest under Rule 17. The Court has no jurisdiction under Fedearal Rules

of Civil Procedure Rule 12 (b) (1), (2), (3) over Childress or The People.

125.   Decision and Rationale: The 8-1 decision of the Court was delivered by Justice Joseph

P. Bradley, with John Marshall Harlan of Kentucky alone in dissent. The Court decided that the

Civil Rights Act of 1875 was unconstitutional. Neither the 13th, nor the 14th amendment

empowers the Congress to legislate in matters of racial discrimination in the private sector.

Bradley wrote, “The 13th Amendment has respect, not to distinctions of race…but to slavery...”

The 14th Amendment, he continued, applied to State, not private, actions; furthermore, the

abridgment of rights presented in this case are to be considered as “ordinary civil injuries” rather

than the imposition of badges of slavery. Bradley commented that “individual invasion of

individual rights is not the subject-matter of the 14th Amendment. It has a deeper and broader

scope. It nullifies and makes void all state legislation, and state action of every kind, which

impairs the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, or which injures them in

life, liberty or property without due process of law, or which denies to any of them the equal

protection of the laws.” Therefore, the Court limited the impact of the Equal Protection Clause of

the 14th Amendment.

126.   In a court of limited jurisdiction, whenever a party denies that the court has subject-

matter jurisdiction, it becomes the duty and the burden of the party claiming that the court has

subject matter jurisdiction to provide evidence from the record of the case that the court holds



                                           Page 53 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

subject-matter jurisdiction. Bindell v. City of Harvey, 212 Ill. App.3d 1042, 571 N.E. 2d 1017

(1st Dist. 1991) ("the burden of proving jurisdiction rests upon the party asserting it.").

127.   Until the party instituting the action submits uncontroversial evidence of subject-matter

jurisdiction to the court that the court has subject-matter jurisdiction, the court is proceeding

without subject-matter jurisdiction. See, Loos v. American Energy Savers, Inc., supra.

129.   This Court is an Article I Administrative Court and lacks judicial power for review per

the Eleventh Amendment. Defendants were required to exhaust administrative remedies before

moving to a judicial review on Childress. Childress was denied administrative remedies which

violates judicial review and the requirement of honest service, for the Court lacks judicial power

to hear this case under the Eleventh Amendment. If the Court should claim it is in fact an Article

3 Court with judicial power under Article 3 section 2, Childress's constitutionally-protected

rights and statutory rights have been violated. The Court has failed to comply with protecting the

rights of Childress that a reasonable person would expect under the Constitution and under the

Bill Rights and the following amendments: First, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh (a suit in common law),

Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and the Fourteenth.

130.   All "judicial power" of the "inferior courts" comes from the Judiciary Act of 1789, as did

the Attorney General position. "Judicial power" comes from Article III, Section 2 of the

Constitution. The Eleventh Amendment removed all "judicial power" in law, equity, treaties,

contract law, and the right of the State to bring suit against The People. The positions of Attorney

General and Prosecutor, of both the United States and the several states, come under the Judicial

branch not the Executive branch of the government.

131.   All attorneys come under the Judicial branch and are judicial officers under the Supreme

Court, not under the Secretary of State as licensed professionals, which means they can only

represent the Court and not The People or the State. The Eleventh Amendment removed all

"judicial power" from the "inferior courts" and the prosecutor’s office as well as from all court

officers in law, equity, and so forth. The Eleventh Amendment also makes a foreign state

separation from the position of the Public Office positions. The People have Eleventh

Amendment immunity, because there is NO "JUDICIAL POWER" of the "inferior courts" and

The People have FOREIGN SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.

       Article III, Sec. 2, U.S. Constitution
       “The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under
       this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall
       be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public
       ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to
       Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies
       between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--
       between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of the same State claiming
       Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens
       thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.”

       Eleventh Amendment
       “The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any
       suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States


                                          Page 55 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.”

132.   The Hearing Officer in charge is either aware, or should be aware that the Eleventh

Amendment removed all "Judicial Power" from this Court, turning it into an Administrative

Court and rendering all hearings administrative, with no "judicial power" to rule in OR on law,

equity, treaties, contract law OR issues between the State OR the UNITED STATES and its

People. The Hearing Officer is either aware, or should be aware, that the authority delegated by

Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution for the United States of America was amended and

revoked by the Eleventh Amendment on February 5th, 1795, of which Childress is aware of.

133.   The Hearing Officer is also either aware, or should be aware, that the Offices of Attorney

General and Prosecutor were created under the same Judiciary Act as were the "inferior courts."

When the Eleventh Amendment removed "Judicial Power" from the Courts, it also removed

"judicial power" from the prosecution. Any prosecution performed in law, equity, contract law,

treaties or claims by the State against The People now constitutes Putative Fraud and Dishonest

Service due to the salary contract that the public official has with The People to perform its

duties as a Hearing Officer and Prosecution Officer. The contracts of the Public Officers are

private contracts under the Constitution, Article I, II, and III and under the Compensation clause

for services to The People.

134.   It is a fact that a pleading cannot be placed before a court without "judicial power" and 12

(b) (1) or 12 (b) (2) of the FRCP and the Civil Rules of Procedure, clearly defines why there is

no "judicial power" before which to make such a pleading. The Petitioner now Demands

dismissal due to lack of judicial power and jurisdiction



                                          Page 56 of 89
                           AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

135.   This Court and the Hearing Officer may only convene this court as "administrative" under

Congressional mandate S.7, 60 Stat 237, the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946, so that

Childress can set forth such claim of injury under Civil Rights violation, R.I.C.O., threat of a

firearm to compel Childress, threat of extortion, kidnapping, assault with intent to injure,

violation of domestic terrorism, and contract-default violation increasing the public debt.

              G. JURISDICTIONS UPON WHICH COURTS CAN OPERATE

136.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

137.   The Federal Rules of Civil Procedures show only one cause of action exists. See, Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 2. One form of action.

138.   This Court can not force Childress to a plea of not guilty, guilty, or nolo contendere. In a

civil action the rules do not allow it.

139.   Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rule 11. Pleas; requires Childress to place a plea

before the court of not guilty, guilty, or nolo contendere. Once The People place such a plea, that

plea now comes under the authority of Title 50, War And National Defense, section 23 under the

Trading With The Enemy Act. The Prosecutor is acting on behalf of THE STATE OF TEXAS

and now is required to provide proof and evidence that such charges "ARE NOT" under the State

of Emergency Clause, and the State of Emergency Banking / Bankruptcy Act of 1933. Any

failure of the Prosecutor to provide such evidence within 10 days of this original filing is grounds

for dismissal with prejudice for non-compliance.

140.   The prosecutor has failed to disclose that such a plea would come under the jurisdiction



                                          Page 57 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

of the State of Emergency Clause under Public Law 1, 48 stat 1, and Public law 73-10, 40 stat

411, and under Title 50 Trading With The Enemy Act of Oct 6, 1917, and the Bankruptcy Act

under Public Law 10, Ch 48, 48 stat 112.

141.   There are the three jurisdictions upon which the court may operate:

               First: Article III, section 2, clause 1. However, by Act of Congress and the
       States ratifying the 11th Amendment the Courts have no Judicial power to hear
       any case in Law, Equity, or a Controversy created by the State against any Citizen
       of the United States. This Court is clearly operating outside any Article III
       capacity of the Constitution for the united States of America.

               Second: Administrative jurisdiction, which involves a Department, Agency
       or an Administrative office as defined in 5 U.S.C. § 101 executive branch, 28
       U.S.C., § 451 or in which case Childress can only be a Plaintiff, in such action per
       the intent and Act of Congress as an administrative hearing is to hear complaints
       about such executive offices.

               Third: The State of Emergency and the Bankruptcy Act clauses create
       jurisdiction under Senate Report 93-549, Trading With The Enemy Act, under
       Title 50 War and National Defense, Section 23, “Jurisdiction of United States
       courts and judges.” Under the State of Emergency the UNITED STATES is the
       trustee along with all public offices / officers. (See above cite 63C Am.Jur.2d,
       Public Officers and Employees, §247).

142.   Any action under the State of Emergency is governed by General Order 100, the Lieber

Code, and UCMJ Title 10, Section 333, and per Army Regulation 840-10 Section 8.1, 8.2, and

8.3. again under Title 50 War & National Defense.

143.   The prosecution has failed to state a claim to which relief could be granted as pursuant to

Rule 12 (b) (6) and the Rules of Court mandated by the "Rules Enabling Act" created by

Congress. (Ch. 651, Pub.L. 73-415, 48 Stat. 1064, enacted June 19, 1934 28 U.S.C., § 2072)

       a) Pursuant to this Court's procedure, defined in the TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL

PROCEDURE, there is required, but which is absent, a sworn affidavit of probable cause that is


                                           Page 58 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

to be attached to a judicial determination of probable cause which shall be forwarded to the

office of the Clerk of Court. Only the un-sworn, inadmissible, aggravated perjury appears in the

case file.

        b)   Defendants Bell, Robles, Mahoney, Turner, Parra, Hays, and Scott are NEW

BRAUNFELS Police Officers acting on behalf of the STATE OF TEXAS in the COUNTY OF

COMAL, and are Revenue Agents and cannot summons Childress or The People to court as they

are members of the executive branch, therefore they are involved in the simulation of judicial

process by the issuing of fraudulent charging instruments and unqualified arrests and jailings are

“assuming an office without qualifying.”

        c) Cause # “COMPLAINT”, as well as, 2014CR1548 are fraudulent charging instruments

as they state, on behalf of the STATE OF TEXAS in the COUNTY OF COMAL, Defendants

Bell, Robles, Mahoney, Turner, Parra, Hays, and Scott are Revenue Agents that claim they had

probable cause to believe that Childress violated law. It is a well settled matter at law, that

officers deal only in a reasonable suspicion and that probable cause is a judicial determination.

The charging instrument is prima facie evidence that NBPD Defendants, officers of the NEW

BRAUNFELS POLICE DEPARTMENT, are committing a crime by the issuance of same, and

are acting outside, and under color of, law by making an un-sworn judicial determination of

probable cause.

        d) SCOTUS defines bills of attainder as follows: (Definition) A legislative act that singles

out an individual or group (American Citizens) for punishment without a trial. The Constitution

of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 provides that: "No Bill of Attainder or ex



                                           Page 59 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

post facto Law will be passed." The Bill of Attainder Clause was intended not as a narrow,

technical (and therefore soon to be outmoded) prohibition, but rather as an implementation of the

separation of powers, a general safeguard against legislative exercise of the judicial function or

more simply - trial by legislature." U.S. v. Brown, 381 U.S. 437, 440 (1965)..."These clauses of

the Constitution are not of the broad, general nature of the Due Process Clause, but refer to rather

precise legal terms which had a meaning under English law at the time the Constitution was

adopted. A bill of attainder was a legislative act that singled out one or more persons and

imposed punishment on them, without benefit of trial. Such actions were regarded as odious by

the framers of the Constitution because it was the traditional role of a court, judging an

individual case, to impose punishment." William H. Rehnquist, The Supreme Court, page

166..."Bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, and laws impairing the obligations of contracts, are

contrary to the first principles of the social compact, and to every principle of sound

legislation. ...The sober people of America are weary of the fluctuating policy which has directed

the public councils. They have seen with regret and indignation that sudden changes and

legislative interferences, in cases affecting personal rights, become jobs in the hands of

enterprising and influential speculators, and snares to the more-industrious and less-informed

part of the community." James Madison, Federalist Number 44, 1788. Supreme Court cases

construing the Bill of Attainder clause include:

               Ex Parte Garland, 4 Wallace 333 (1866).
               Cummings v. Missouri, 4 Wallace 277 (1866).
               U.S. v. Brown, 381 U.S. 437 (1965).
               Nixon v. Administrator of General Services, 433 U.S.425 (1977).
               Selective Service Administration v. Minnesota PIRG, 468 U.S. 841
               (1984).

                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT


       e) The Prosecutor has failed to allege facts sufficient to show that any person has suffered

any harm or are or has been threatened with any harm as a result of the matter alleged in the

“complaint” or have a Corpus delicti that has been injured.

       f) Childress holds standing under the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th Articles of the

Bill of Rights to bring this issue before the Court and to have it dismissed with prejudice as

neither the prosecutor, nor Defendants Bell, Robles, Mahoney, Turner, Parra, Hays, and Scott

have come into compliance with any Acts of Congress or Texas legislative Acts.

144.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

145.   The law places the duty and burden of subject-matter jurisdiction upon the initiating

party, in the instance case, Defendants. Should the court attempt to place the burden upon

Childress the court has acted against the law and in violation of Due Process rights of Childress,

and the judge under court decisions would immediately lose subject-matter jurisdiction. In a

court of limited jurisdiction, the court must proceed exactly according to the law or statute under

which it operates. Flake v. Pretzel, 381 Ill. 498, 46 N.E. 2D 375 (1943). ("the actions, being

statutory proceedings... were void for want of power to make them.") ("The judgments were

based on orders which were void because the court exceeded its jurisdiction in entering them.

Where a court, after acquiring jurisdiction of a subject matter, as here, transcends the limits of

the jurisdiction conferred, its judgment is void."); Armstrong v. Obucino, 300 Ill. 140, 143, 133

N.E. 58 (1921). ("The doctrine that where a court has once acquired jurisdiction it has a right to

decide every question which arises in the cause, and its judgment or decree, however erroneous,

cannot be collaterally assailed, is only correct when the court proceeds according to the

established modes governing the class to which the case belongs and does not transcend in the

extent and character of its judgment or decree the law or statute which is applicable to it.") –– In

Interest of M.V., 288 Ill. App. 3d 300, 681 N.E. 2d 532 (1st Dist. 1997). ("Where a court's power

to act is controlled by statute, the court is governed by the rules of limited jurisdiction, and courts

exercising jurisdiction over such matters must proceed within the strictures of the statute."); In re

Marriage of Milliken, 199 Ill. App. 3d 813, 557 N.E. 2d 591 (1st Dist. 1990). ("The jurisdiction

of a court in a dissolution proceeding is limited to that conferred by statute."); Vulcan Materials

Co. v. Bee Const. Co., Inc., 101 Ill. App. 3d 30, 40, 427 N.E. 2d 797 (1st Dist. 1981). ("Though a

court be one of general jurisdiction, when its power to act on a particular matter is controlled by

statute, the court is governed by the rules of limited jurisdiction.").

146.   "There is no discretion to ignore that lack of jurisdiction." –– Joyce v. U.S., 474

F. 2d 215. "A universal principle as old as the law is that a proceedings of a court without

jurisdiction are a nullity and its judgment therein without effect either on person or

property." –– Norwood v. Renfield, 34 C 329; Ex parte Giambonini, 49 P. 732.

"Jurisdiction is fundamental and a judgment rendered by a court that does not have

jurisdiction to hear is void ab initio." –– In Re Application of Wyatt, 300 P. 132; Re

Cavitt, 118 P2d 846. "Thus, where a judicial tribunal has no jurisdiction of the subject

matter on which it assumes to act, its proceedings are absolutely void in the fullest sense

of the term." –– Dillon v. Dillon, 187 P 27. "A court has no jurisdiction to determine its

has the effect of depriving one of a constitutional right, is an excess of jurisdiction." ––

Wuest v. Wuest, 127 P. 2d. 934, 937. "Where a court failed to observe safeguards, it

amounts to denial of due process of law, court is deprived of juris." –– Merritt v. Hunter,

C.A., Kansas 170 F. 2d 739. "the fact that the petitioner was released on a promise to

appear before a magistrate for an arraignment, that fact is circumstance to be considered

in determining whether in first instance there was a probable cause for the arrest." ––

Monroe v. Papa, D.C., Ill. 1963, 221 F Supp 685. “Jurisdiction, once challenged, is to be

proven, not by the court, but by the party attempting to assert jurisdiction. The burden of

proof of jurisdiction lies with the asserter.” See, McNutt v. GMAC, 298 US 178. The

origins of this doctrine of law may be found in Maxfield's, Lessee v. Levy, 4 U.S. 308. "A

court has no jurisdiction to determine its own jurisdiction, for a basic issue in any case

before a tribunal is its power to act, and a court must have the authority to decide that

question in the first instance." –– Rescue Army v. Municipal Court of Los Angeles, 171 P.

2d. 8; 331 U.S. 549, 91 L. ed. 1666, 67 S. Ct. 1409. "Once jurisdiction is challenged, the

has no authority to reach merits, but, rather, should dismiss the action." –– Melo v. U.S.,

U.S. 622 (1980). "A departure by a court from those recognized and established

        VI. LACK OF POLITICAL AND CIVIL CONTRACTUAL JURISDICTION

147.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

148.   Childress, hereby challenges the Political and civil contractual Jurisdiction of the

Charging parties, i.e., Defendants, such being the Executive Branch of the STATE OF TEXAS,

not to this Court.

149.   It is the responsibility of the Executive Branch of the STATE OF TEXAS, to present its

proof, from its existing files, that it has in some manner, in conformance to the restriction set

forth and established in the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, that the STATE

OF TEXAS has gained a voluntary agreement by Childress to be subservient to the Political or

civil contractual Jurisdiction of the STATE OF TEXAS.

150.   As STATE OF TEXAS has no ability to establish that it has political or civil contractual

jurisdiction over Childress, as is required of STATE OF TEXAS, under the prohibition of

involuntary servitude mandate, established in the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal

Constitution, neither the prosecutor, nor this Court has standing to proceed; likewise, neither

standing to inquire of Childress as to his political or civil contractual status, for this Court to do



                                           Page 65 of 89
                            AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

so would indicate this court to be biased against Childress, in favor of Defendants. Such action

would constitute a violation of the Separation Of Powers Doctrine, and disqualify the judge of

this Court from any further participation in this matter.

151.     The following citations establish that when jurisdiction (of any manner), is challenged, it

must be proved, on the record, by the moving party, in the instant case, Defendants, are who

acting under color of the Executive Branch of the STATE OF TEXAS, not by the judge of this

Court.

         A court may not render a judgment which transcends the limits of its authority,
         and a judgment is void if it is beyond the powers granted to the court by the law
         of its organization, even where the court has jurisdiction over the parties and the
         subject matter. Thus, if a court is authorized by statute to entertain jurisdiction in a
         particular case only, and undertakes to exercise the jurisdiction conferred in a case
         to which the statute has no application, the judgment rendered is void. 46 Am. Jur.
         2d, Judgments § 25, pp. 388-89.

         The lack of statutory authority to make particular order or a judgment is akin to
         lack of subject matter jurisdiction and is subject to collateral attack. 46 Am. Jur.
         2d, Judgments § 25, pp. 388-89.

         “A void judgment is to be distinguished from an erroneous one, in that the latter is
         subject only to direct attack. A void judgment is one which, from its inception,
         was a complete nullity and without legal effect.” Lubben v. Selective Service
         System, 453 F.2d 645, 649 (1st Cir. 1972)

         “A judgment rendered by a court without personal jurisdiction over the defendant
         is void. It is a nullity. [A judgment shown to be void for lack of personal service
         on the defendant is a nullity.]” Sramek v. Sramek, 17 Kan. App. 2d 573, 576-77,
         840 P.2d 553 (1992), rev. denied 252 Kan. 1093 (1993).

         "Where there are no depositions, admissions, or affidavits the court has no facts to
         rely on for a summary determination." Trinsey v. Pagliaro, D.C. Pa. 1964, 229 F.
         Supp. 647.

         "A court cannot confer jurisdiction where none existed and cannot make a void
         proceeding valid. It is clear and well established law that a void order can be

152.   It is clearly self evident that the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution causes

the admonitions in these 23 appellate court cases to apply reasonably, in this instant case, to the

Defendants, the Executive Branch of the STATE OF TEXAS, and NOT to directly to this Court.

However, as a subdivision of the STATE OF TEXAS, neither the prosecutor, nor this Court has

standing to proceed against Childress, unless and until, the Executive Branch of the STATE OF

TEXAS presents its proof, from its files existing at the time of and on the date Childress was

wrongly charged, that such STATE then had and now has properly gained Political and, or civil

contractual Jurisdiction over Childress. And that the STATE OF TEXAS has gained such

jurisdiction in full compliance with, and not in violation of, the restrictions established in the

Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution.



                                          Page 68 of 89
                            AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

153.    The STATE OF TEXAS (through either its Administrative/Judicial Branch or its

Executive Branch), does not have standing to interrogate Childress in order to establish that it

had Political or civil contractual jurisdiction over him at the time and date Childress was wrongly

charged by the issuing officer(s), Defendants, of the STATE OF TEXAS, through NEW

BRAUNFELS police department, and certainly do not have standing to attempt to establish such

jurisdiction to be effective at this late date.

154.    The STATE OF TEXAS must present its proof from its existing files, and if the it claims

to have such proof, such must be presented to Childress in writing, and he must be accorded a

reasonable opportunity to subpoena witnesses and gather evidence in opposition.

155.    It is a foregone conclusion that the Executive Branch of the Government of STATE OF

TEXAS will not be able to present any acceptable proof, and any proof that it might present

would have been obtained through fraudulent inducement, not through any honorable and

forthright means.

156.    In consideration of the foregoing, this Court has no option, other than to dismiss all

charges lodged against Childress by the Executive Branch of the Government of the STATE OF

TEXAS.

157.    Let this Court be informed, it has no standing to enter any plea, and any such plea, in any

event would be void and of no effect, and would remain so unless and until the Executive Branch

of the STATE OF TEXAS presents to Childress, its written proof that it has properly obtained

any manner or form of jurisdiction over Childress, as is required under the Federal Thirteenth

Amendment and the 23 appellate court case citations, supra.



                                              Page 69 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

158.   The relationship of standing of Childress to the STATE OF TEXAS is a political issue

based on STATE OF TEXAS compliance with the Federal Thirteenth Amendment, it is not a

judicial issue. This Court does not have standing to determine the political status of Childress.

159.   This is true because the political status of everyone can only be determined by the

voluntary act of each individual, based on their own individual choice, as is clearly established in

the prohibition of involuntary servitude, set forth and established in the Thirteenth Amendment

to the Federal Constitution.

160.   The burden of proof is on the Defendants, to present proof from existing files, that they

gained political or civil jurisdiction over Childress without violating the prohibition of

involuntary servitude recognized and incorporated into the Federal Constitution, in the

Thirteenth Amendment thereto.

161.   Childress, being Wrongly Accused, states that the charges lodged against him, must be

dismissed due to the fact that STATE OF TEXAS has no legitimate claim of Political or Civil

contractual Jurisdiction over me.

162.   Due to the fact that it will not be possible for the Executive Branch of the STATE OF

TEXAS to present proof, in conformance with the Federal Thirteenth Amendment, that the

STATE OF TEXAS has properly gained either Political or Civil Contractual Jurisdiction over

Childress, Childress will not present himself, as he has no duty or obligation to do so,

       “...there is a clear distinction [] between an individual and a corporation, and that
       the latter has no right to refuse to submit its books and papers for an examination
       at the suit of the state. The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a
       citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power
       to contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the state or to his neighbors to
       divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so far as it may tend


                                           Page 70 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       to criminate him. He owes no such duty to the state, since he receives nothing
       therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His rights are such as
       existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of the state, and
       can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the
       Constitution. Among his rights are a refusal to incriminate himself, and the
       immunity of himself and his property from arrest or seizure except under a
       warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass
       upon their rights. Hale v. Henkel, 201 US 43 (1906).

to this Court unless and until the Executive Branch of the STATE OF TEXAS presents to

Childress its proof that it has such dominion over Childress, which is not able to be refuted,

thereby. Childress will not offer up jurisdiction to this court by making an appearance, therein.

163.   Let this Court and the STATE OF TEXAS be hereby advised, should the Executive

Branch of the STATE OF TEXAS present such proof to Childress, in writing, that cannot be

refuted, Childress will then conform to any order of this Court.

             VII. DECLARATION OF STATUS AND RIGHT OF AVOIDANCE

163.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

164.   Childress, is “the real party in interest” and holds the status of a “foreign state” as defined

in 28 U.S.C. § 1603 (b) (1), as “a separate legal person, corporate or otherwise,” (in the instant

case, “otherwise”), (b) (2), “an organ (a vital part) of a foreign state” and (b) (3), “neither a

citizen of a State of the United States as defined in section 1332(c)” (a corporation, an insurer, or

the legal representative of a decedent, an infant or an incompetent), “nor created under the laws

of any third country.”

165.   Further, Childress, the “real party in interest” is not an artificial, corporate “person” as

defined and created by PUBLIC STATUTES, and is not a juristic person which may be


                                           Page 71 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

“affected” by PUBLIC STATUTES; but, is invested with and bears the status, condition and

character of “a sovereign without subjects.” Childress, the “real party in interest” is always and

at all times present in his “asylum home state,” which is “the common case of the place of birth,

domicilium originis,” also referred to as Natural Domicile, which is “the same as domicile of

origin or domicile by birth,” (See Johnson v. Twenty-One Bales, 13 Fed. Cas. 863; Black’s Law

Dictionary, 4th ed.), which is the source and the seat of his sovereignty and immunity.

166.   Accordingly, Childress, the “real party in interest” holds Right of Avoidance and right to

reject the offered commercial venture and to decline to fuse with or to animate an artificial

person, or to stand as STRAWMAN [PERSON], which is defined in Barron’s Law Dictionary,

4th edition, (1996), as “a term referred to in commercial and property contexts when a transfer is

made to a third party, the strawman [person], simply for the purpose of retransferring to the

transferor in order to accomplish some purpose not otherwise permitted,” i.e., obtaining

jurisdiction over Childress, the “real party in interest” or relying upon the rebutable presumption

that Childress, the “real party in interest” is a corporation. The definition also contains the

admonition to “See dummy,” which, at that entry is therein defined as “a strawman; a sham.”

Childress, is neither a strawman, nor a sham, and is certainly not a dummy.

167.   This DECLARATION OF STATUS constitutes a conclusive presumption, of which the

court is bound to take NOTICE, that Childress, the “real party in interest” is not a corporation;

and, the court can exercise no jurisdiction whatsoever over the “real party in interest” or in the

above referenced case, but is duty-bound according to the due process of the law, to which the

above-mentioned “real party in interest” is a belligerent claimant, and by the Rule of Law to

DISMISS, QUASH.

                        VIII. TABLES OF AUTHORITIES: PERSON

168.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

                                            “PERSON”

       "This word ‘person’ and its scope and bearing in the law, involving, as it does,
       legal fictions and also apparently natural beings, it is difficult to understand; but it
       is absolutely necessary to grasp, at whatever cost, a true and proper understanding
       to the word in all the phases of its proper use... A person is here not a physical or
       individual person, but the status or condition with which he is invested... not an
       individual or physical person, but the status, condition or character borne by
       physical persons... The law of persons is the law of status or condition." –
       American Law and Procedure, Vol. 13, page 137, 1910.

169.   The following are Maxims of Law, Doctrines for Statutory Interpretation of terms:

       Ejusdem Generis: Of the same kind, class, or nature. In the construction of laws,
       wills, and other instruments, the "ejusdem generis rule" is, that where general
       words follow an enumeration of persons or things, by words of a particular and
       specific meaning, such general words are not to be construed in their widest
       extent, but are to be held as applying only to persons or things of the same general
       kind or class as those specifically mentioned. Black, Interp. of Laws, 141;
       Goldsmith v. U. S., C.C.A.N.Y., 42 F.2d 133, 137; Aleksich v. Industrial Accident
       Fund, 116 Mont. 69, 151 P.2d 1016, 1021. The rule, however, does not necessarily
       require that the general provision be limited in its scope to the identical things
       specifically named. Nor does it apply when the context manifests a contrary
       intention. The maxim "ejusdem generis," is only an illustration of the broader
       maxim, "noscitur a sod's." State v. Western Union Telegraph Co., 196 Ala. 570, 72
       So. 99, 100. Black's Law, 4th Ed.

       Noscitur a Sociis: It is known from its associates. 1 Vent. 225. The meaning of a
       word is or may be known from the accompanying words. 3 Term R. 87; Broom,
       Max. 588. Morecock v. Hood, 202 N.C. 321, 162 S.E. 730, 731; Louis Pizitz Dry
       Goods Co. v. Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Maryland, 223 Ala. 385, 136 So. 800,
       801. The doctrine means that general and specific words are associated with and
       take color from each other, restricting general words to sense analogous to less
       general. Dunham v. State, 140 Fla. 754, 192 So. 324, 325, 326. Black's Law, 4th


                                           Page 73 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       Ed.

       Expressio unius est exclusio alterius: Expression of one thing is the exclusion of
       another. Co.Litt. 210a; Burgin v. Forbes, 293 Ky. 456, 169 S.W.2d 321, 325;
       Newblock v. Bowles, 170 Oki. 487, 40 P.2d 1097, 1100. Mention of one thing
       implies exclusion of another. Fazio v. Pittsburgh Rys. Co., 321 Pa. 7, 182 A. 696,
       698; Saslaw v. Weiss, 133 Ohio St. 496, 14 N.E.2d 930, 932. When certain
       persons or things are specified, in a law, contract, or will, an intention to exclude
       all others from its operation may be inferred. Little v. Town of Conway, 171 S.C.
       27, 170 S.E. 447, 448. Under this maxim, if statute specifies one exception to a
       general rule or assumes to specify the effects of a certain provision, other
       exceptions or effects are excluded, People v. One 1941 Ford 8 Stake Truck,
       Engine No. 99T370053, License No. P.8410, Cal., 159 P.2d 641, 642. Black's
       Law, 4th Ed.

170.   The following case citations declares the undisputed distinction in fact and at law of the

distinction between the term “persons,” which is the plural form of the term “person,” and the

word “People” which is NOT the plural form of the term “person.” The above-mentioned “real

party in interest” is NOT a subordinate “person,” “subject,” or “agent,” but is a “constituent,” in

whom sovereignty abides, a member of the “Posterity of We, The People,” in whom sovereignty

resides, and from whom the government has emanated:

       "The sovereignty of a state does not reside in the persons who fill the different
       departments of its government, but in the People, from whom the government
       emanated; and they may change it at their discretion. Sovereignty, then in this
       country, abides with the constituency, and not with the agent; and this remark is
       true, both in reference to the federal and state government." (Persons are not
       People) –– Spooner v. McConnell, 22 F. 939, 943;
       "Our government is founded upon compact. Sovereignty was, and is, in the
       people" –– Glass v. Sloop Betsey, supreme Court, 1794.

       "People of a state are entitled to all rights which formerly belong to the King, by
       his prerogative." –– supreme Court, Lansing v. Smith, 1829.
       “The United States, as a whole, emanates from the people... The people, in their
       capacity as sovereigns, made and adopted the Constitution... "–– supreme Court, 4
       Wheat 402.

       "The governments are but trustees acting under derived authority and have no
       power to delegate what is not delegated to them. But the people, as the original
       fountain might take away what they have delegated and entrust to whom they
       please... The sovereignty in every state resides in the people of the state and they
       may alter and change their form of government at their own pleasure." –– Luther
       v. Borden, 48 U.S. 1, 12 L.Ed 581.

       "While sovereign powers are delegated to... the government, sovereignty itself
       remains with the people” –– Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, page 370.
       "There is no such thing as a power of inherent sovereignty in the government of
       the United States... In this country sovereignty resides in the people, and Congress
       can exercise no power which they have not, by their Constitution entrusted to it:
       All else is withheld." –– Julliard v. Greenman, 110 U.S. 421.

       "In common usage, the term 'person' does not include the sovereign, and statutes
       employing the word are ordinarily construed to exclude it." –– Wilson v. Omaha
       Indian Tribe, 442 U.S. 653, 667 (1979).

       "Since in common usage the term ‘person’ does not include the sovereign, statutes
       employing that term are ordinarily construed to exclude it." –– U.S. v. Cooper, 312
       U.S. 600,604, 61 S. Ct 742 (1941).

       "In common usage, the term ‘person’ does not include the sovereign and statutes
       employing it will ordinarily not be construed to do so." –– U.S. v. United Mine
       Workers of America, 330 U.S. 258, 67 S. Ct 677 (1947).

       "Since in common usage, the term ‘person’ does not include the sovereign,
       statutes employing the phrase are ordinarily construed to exclude it." –– US v.
       Fox, 94 US 315.

       "In common usage the word ‘person’ does not include the sovereign, and statutes
       employing the word are generally construed to exclude the sovereign." –– U.S. v.
       General Motors Corporation, D.C. Ill, 2 F.R.D. 528, 530.

171.   The following case citations declare the undisputed doctrine, in fact and at law, that the

word (term of art) “person” is a “general word,” and that the “people,” of whom the above-

mentioned “real party in interest” is one, “are NOT bound by general words in statutes;”

therefore, statutes do not apply to, operate upon or affect the above-mentioned “real party in

interest:”

        "The word `person' in legal terminology is perceived as a general word which

        normally includes in its scope a variety of entities other than human beings. ––

        Church of Scientology v. US Department of Justice, 612 F. 2d 417, 425 (1979);

        "The people, or sovereign are not bound by general words in statutes,

        restrictive of prerogative right, title or interest, unless expressly named. Acts of

        limitation do not bind the King or The People. The People have been ceded all the

        rights of the King, the former sovereign... It is a maxim of the common law, that

        when an act is made for the common good and to prevent injury, the King shall be

        bound, though not named, but when a statute is general and prerogative right

        would be divested or taken from the King (or The People) he shall not be bound."

        –– The People v. Herkimer, 4 Cowen (NY) 345, 348 (1825): "In the United States,

        sovereignty resides in people.” –– Perry v. U.S., (294 US 330). "A Sovereign is

        exempt from suit, not because of any formal conception or obsolete theory, but on

        the logical and practical ground that there can be no legal Right as against the

        authority that makes the law on which the Right depends." –– Kawananakoa v.

       “...where any state proceeds against a private individual in a judicial forum it is
       well settled that the state, county, municipality, etc. waives any immunity to
       counters, cross claims and complaints, by direct or collateral means regarding the
       matters involved.” --Luckenback v. The Thekla, 295 F 1020, 226 U.S. 328;
       Lyders v. Lund, 32 F2d 308; Dexter v. Kunglig J., 43 F2d 705, 282 US 896; U.S.
       v. N.C.B.N.Y., 83 F2d 236, 106 ALR 1235, affirmed; Russia v. BTC, 4 F Supp
       417, 299 U.S. 563.

173.   This doctrine includes, but is not limited to, challenges to personal, subject matter and

territorial jurisdiction, as well as to claims that the forum is not judicial in nature but merely

administrative or that the court is proceeding, improperly, against a private individual under the

rebuttable presumption that the private individual is a corporate entity or an artificial person

upon which the Public Statutes operate, apply or affect.

174.   Furthermore, it is undisputed that the state is acting in its capacity as a commercial entity

and is liable for damages according to the following definition of “SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.”

       "The state may nevertheless be held liable where the injurious activity was
       'proprietary' rather than 'governmental', i.e., where the injury was caused by the
       state acting in its capacity as a commercial entity rather than that of sovereign.”
       --Barron’s Law Dictionary, 4th edition (1996).

175.   As stated supra, any failure or refusal to disclose the true jurisdiction is a violation of 15

Statutes at Large, Chapter 249 (section 1), enacted July 27, 1868.

Case Law confirms:

       "And Mr. Justice Miller, delivering the opinion of the court [legislating from the
       bench, in this case], in analyzing the first clause [of the Fourteenth Amendment],
       observed that “the phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ was intended to
       exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects
       of foreign states, born within the United States." --U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169
       U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456; 42 L.Ed. 890 (1898).

agents, or high managerial agents including but not limited to:

        Defendants Bell, Robles, Mahoney, Turner, Parra, Hays Garrison and Scott; and

Mahoney, Turner, Parra, Hays Garrison, Scott and employees and, or agents, (jailers) as yet

and know or should know that their conduct is felony breach of oath, as well as being contrary to

the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights upon which the United States is a

signatory party.

COMAL COUNTY JAIL have acted in concert and collusion and in criminal conspiracy in

relentless malicious and unmeritorious persecution of Childress.

182.    Defendants collectively, and employees and, or agents, (jailers) as yet unknown, of

COMAL COUNTY JAIL, are liable for the above stated issues and may be sued pursuant to the

Texas Tort Claims Act, Deceptive Trade Practices Act (Commercial Venture), 42 U.S.C. § 1983,

18 U.S.C. § 1962 RICO, but not necessarily limited thereto.

                X. PLEADING SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO DO JUSTICE

183. All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for
Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

       "Following the simple guide of rule 8(f) that all pleadings shall be so construed as
       to do substantial justice"... "The federal rules reject the approach that pleading is a
       game of skill in which one misstep by counsel may be decisive to the outcome
       and accept the principle that the purpose of pleading is to facilitate a proper
       decision on the merits." The court also cited Rule 8(f) FRCP, which holds that all
       pleadings shall be construed to do substantial justice. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S.
       41 at 48 (1957)

       "The assertion of federal rights, when plainly and reasonably made, are not to be
       defeated under the name of local practice. Davis v. Wechler, 263 U.S. 22, 24;
       Stromberb v. California, 283 U.S. 359; NAACP v. Alabama, 375 U.S. 449

       Pro se pleadings are to be considered without regard to technicality; pro se
       litigants' pleadings are not to be held to the same high standards of perfection as
       lawyers. Jenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421 (1959); Picking v.
       Pennsylvania R. Co., 151 Fed 2nd 240; Pucket v. Cox, 456 2nd 23

       "Pleadings are intended to serve as a means of arriving at fair and just settlements
       of controversies between litigants. They should not raise barriers which prevent
       the achievement of that end. Proper pleading is important, but its importance
       consists in its effectiveness as a means to accomplish the end of a just judgment."
       Maty v. Grasselli Chemical Co., 303 U.S. 197 (1938)

       The plaintiff's civil rights pleading was 150 pages and described by a federal
       judge as "inept". Nevertheless, it was held "Where a plaintiff pleads pro se in a


                                           Page 81 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       suit for protection of civil rights, the Court should endeavor to construe Plaintiff's
       Pleadings without regard to technicalities. Picking v. Pennsylvania Railway, 151
       F.2d. 240, Third Circuit Court of Appeals

       It was held that a pro se complaint requires a less stringent reading than one
       drafted by a lawyer per Justice Black in Conley v. Gibson (see case listed above,
       Pro Se Rights Section). Puckett v. Cox, 456 F. 2d 233 (1972) (6th Cir. USCA)

       "... allegations such as those asserted by petitioner, however inartfully pleaded,
       are sufficient to call for the opportunity to offer supporting evidence. We cannot
       say with assurance that under the allegations of the pro se complaint, which we
       hold to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers... ".
       Haines v Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 – 521, (1972)

       "Court errs if court dismisses pro se litigant without instructions of how pleadings
       are deficient and how to repair pleadings." Plaskey v. CIA, 953 F.2nd 25

       Nowhere can be found a competent attorney that is able to execute the proper
       remedy without embarrassing the Court, Corpus Juris Secundum 2d Vol. 7 section
       25.

191.   All statements and allegations made supra, and in Childress's Affidavit for

Countercomplaint are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference.

192.   The facts and the law contained herein are the Truth; and said Truths are held to be self-

evident; and self-evident Truths are undisputed and incontrovertible, therefor, no oral argument is

requested, for no words can alter or overcome these Truths; Truth is Sovereign: She comes from

God and bears His message, from whatever quarter her great eyes may look down upon you;

Psalms 117:2; John 8:32; II Corinthians. 13:8; THEREFORE; this court must perform its duty

under the Rule of Law, do Justice, Rectum Rogare, and Dismiss, and, or QUASH and

immediately thereby expunge, the instatant cause / case without delay for, “Justice delayed is

Justice denied.” Rectum Rogare - "to do right; to petition the judge to do right." –– Black's Law

Dictionary, 4th edition.

193.   AMENDATORY RECONSTRUCTION ACT OF MARCH 11, 1868. An Act, to amend

the act passed March 23, 1867, entitled "An Act supplementary to 'An act to provide for the more

efficient government of the rebel states,' passed March 2, 1867, and to facilitate their restoration.

194.   SUPPLEMENTARY RECONSTRUCTION ACT OF FORTIETH CONGRESS. An Act,

supplementary to an act, entitled: "An act to provide for the more efficient government of the

rebel states," passed March 2, 1867, and to facilitate restoration." This act created the 14th

amendment federal citizen under section 3 of the federal constitution.

195.   All who hold public office fall under section 3 as UNITED STATES citizens. Those who



                                           Page 84 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

hold office have knowingly and willingly given up their citizenship to this country, The

Continental united States, under 8 U.S.C. § 1481 to become a foreign state agent under 22

U.S.C.. The oath of office to the constitution requires office-holders to uphold and maintain our

Constitutional form of government under The People’s authority. This right was never

surrendered by The People; failure to do so violates, including, but not limited to: 10 U.S.C. §

333 and 18 U.S.C. § 1918, chapter 115 § 2382, § 2383, § 1505, § 1001, § 241, § 242, 42 U.S.C. §

1981 and 31 U.S.C. §3729.

196.   The Federal Debt Collection Procedure places all courts under equity and commerce and

under the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF comes under the Uniform Commercial

Code (U.C.C.) under banking and business interest and Trust laws. This makes the Court/Judges

trustee over the trust and responsible whether or not the Childress understands the trust issue.

The 1933 bankruptcy act placed all public officials in a fiduciary position to write off the public

debt, since this Nation is not solvent. The TWEA suspended the U.S. Constitution in the court

room, and therefore, the standard American flag in the courtroom was replaced with a military

Admiralty flag for dealing with alien enemy residents. The People never rescinded their

nationality to the real united States of America. Those who hold public office rescinded their

nationality to become a foreign agent in order to hold public office. International law requires the

judge to uphold The People’s Constitutional form of government as defined in the “Federalist

Papers”.

197.   Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 2 only allows civil action, and under Rule 17, a

real party of interest has to be present in the courtroom in order for there to be any claims of



                                          Page 85 of 89
                          AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

injury or damages against “the people.” Any charges under the “UNITED STATES” or “THE

STATE OF…” fall under the TWEA Section 23. The People are not subject to this jurisdiction as

it is a Foreign State jurisdiction. The People hold 11th amendment immunity to claims in equity

and commerce from a foreign state. The courts lack jurisdiction over the Childress by

Congressional mandate. For the aforestated reasons, the Defendants, Prosecutor and this Court

lack jurisdiction under FRCP Rule 4(j) & 12(b) (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) over Childress.

                                      Adversarial System:
             Mack vs. City of Detroit, Chief Justice Cavanagh, No. 118468, 2002.
       "The adversarial system ensures the best presentation of arguments and theories
       because each party is motivated to succeed. Moreover, the adversarial system
       attempts to ensure that an active judge refrain from allowing a preliminary
       understanding of the issues to improperly influence the final decision. This allows
       the judiciary to keep an open mind until the proofs and arguments have been
       adequately submitted. In spite of these underlying concerns, the majority today
       claims that the benefits of full briefing are simply a formality that can be
       discarded without care. The majority fails to comprehend how the skilled
       advocates in this case could have added anything insightful in the debate over the
       proper interpretation of a century's worth of precedent. Whatever its motivation,
       the majority undermines the foundations of our adversarial system.”

198.   Childress, is covered under Title 18 § 4 Misprision of felony & Title 31 USC §3729 False

Claims as Whistle-blowers.

       TITLE 18, Part I, Chapter 1, § 4 Misprision of felony.
       Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a
       court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known
       the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the
       United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three
       years, or both.

       TITLE 31, Subtitle III, Chapter 37, Subchapter III. § 3729. False claims.
       (a) Liability for Certain Acts. Any person who —
       (1) knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, to an officer or employee of the
       United States Government or a member of the Armed Forces of the United States
       a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval;


                                           Page 86 of 89
                         AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTERCOMPLAINT

       (2) knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or
       statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the Government;
       (3) conspires to defraud the Government by getting a false or fraudulent claim
       allowed or paid;

       TITLE 31, Subtitle III, Chapter 37, Subchapter III. § 3730 Civil actions for false
       claims.
       (b) Actions by Private Persons —
       (1) A person may bring a civil action for a violation of section 3729 for the person
       and for the United States Government. The action shall be brought in the name of
       the Government. The action may be dismissed only if the court and the Attorney
       General give written consent to the dismissal and their reasons for consenting

199.   These are the laws as we know them – clear, precise and written by those with superior

knowledge of the law “LAWYERS”, not The People. The People cannot be held accountable if

there is a failure to clarify or if it is “incomprehensible, baseless assertions and citations to

disjointed   and,or   irrelevant   legal   authority,   grammatically,     logically   and    legally

incomprehensible, frivolous and unintelligible” or a conflict in the laws. This then goes back to

those “LAWYERS” who created this conflict in law to be held accountable. Any failure for the

judge to adhere is a violation under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, 1346, 1505, 2331 and 10 U.S.C. § 333 and

which would result in a violation of the PATRIOT ACT, SECTION 800, HOME LAND

SECUIRTY, thereafter, other Departments would have to be notified of such domestic terrorism.




                         As a matter of law and as matter of the record.

                     POLICE REPORTS ARE HEARSAY


Fischer v. State, NO. PD-0043-07, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF
TEXAS, January 16, 2008, Delivered:

Both the federal and Texas hearsay rules have always excluded the crime-scene or
investigation observations of law enforcement officers because their factual
observations, opinions, and narrations are made while the officer is 'engaged in
the often competitive enterprise of ferreting out crime'.” (quoting, Johnson v.
United States, 333 U.S. 10, 14, 68 S.Ct. 367, 92 L.Ed. 436 (1948). “Rule 803(8)
(B) expressly excludes '[r]ecords, reports, statements, or data compilations setting
forth matters observed by police officers and other law enforcement personnel' in
a criminal case.29

       29. Fed.R.Evid. 803(8)(B);  Tex.R. Evid. 803(8)(B). Of course,
       Rule 803(8)(B) does not necessarily apply to law-enforcement
       reports that are prepared in a non-adversarial setting, that are
       unrelated to any specific litigation, and that record objective,
       neutral observations. See Pondexter v. State, 942 S.W.2d 577, 585
       (Tex.Crim.App.1996) (“We know that the reason for Federal Rule
       of Evidence 803(8)(B), after which the Texas rule was modeled,
       was the presumed unreliability of observations that are made by
       officers at the scene of a crime,” but stating that when police
       officer was performing his ordinary, routine duties of recording the
       property that was taken in and out of the police property room, his
       observations and notations should be presumed reliable;  matters
       observed or recorded by police officers are admissible under Rule
       803(8)(B) if the observations are made and recorded in a
       ministerial manner);

The reason for this exclusion is the inherently adversarial nature of any on-the-
scene or post hoc investigation of a criminal suspect.30

       30....Cole v. State, 839 S.W.2d 798, 811-12 (Tex.Crim.App.1992)
       (op. on reh'g) (quoting the legislative history of Fed.R.Evid. 803(8)
       (B) which based the exclusion of police reports on the fact that
       they are created in an adversarial setting: “ ‘Police reports,
       especially in criminal cases, tend to be one-sided and self-serving.
       They are frequently prepared for the use of prosecutors, who use
       such reports in deciding whether to prosecute.’ ”);  United States v.
       Quezada, 754 F.2d 1190, 1193-94 (5th Cir.1985) (stating that the
       hearsay rule excluding police offense reports “is based in part on


                                       1 of 4

                             POLICE REPORTS ARE HEARSAY

               the presumed unreliability of observations made by law
               enforcement officials at the scene of a crime, or in the course of
               investigating a crime,” and noting that “a number of courts have
               drawn a distinction for purposes of Rule 803(8)(B) between law
               enforcement reports prepared in a routine, non-adversarial setting,
               and those resulting from the arguably more subjective endeavor of
               investigating a crime and evaluating the results of that
               investigation”).

       Congress explained the rationale for the rule excluding factual observations by
       investigating police officers from the public records exception to the hearsay rule:

       Ostensibly, the reason for this exclusion is that observations by police officers at
       the scene of the crime or the apprehension of the defendant are not as reliable as
       observations by public officials in other cases because of the adversarial nature of
       the confrontation between the police and the defendant in criminal cases.

       In United States v. Quezada, 754 F.2d 1190, 1193-94 (5th Cir.1985) the Fifth Circuit

distinguished between public records that are generated in a routine and ministerial manner and

police reports that are generated in an adversarial setting. The Fifth Circuit has concluded that

“Rule 803(8) is designed to permit the admission into evidence of public records prepared for

purposes independent of specific litigation.” (emphasis added). And the Fifth Circuit stated that

the hearsay rule excluding police offense reports “is based in part on the presumed unreliability

of observations made by law enforcement officials at the scene of a crime, or in the course of

investigating a crime,” and noting that “a number of courts have drawn a distinction for purposes

of Rule 803(8)(B) between law enforcement reports prepared in a routine, non-adversarial

setting, and those resulting from the arguably more subjective endeavor of investigating a crime

and evaluating the results of that investigation.”

       The “Police Report” generated in this case was done so in the spirit of preparing for

specific litigation. The purpose of this exception is to allow reliable documents into evidence;

since police reports are inherently unreliable when created in this context, use of the Hearsay,

“Police Reports” to establish a factual background is improper at best, and at worst a complete

disregard for law (Fed. R. Evid.).

       The “Police Report” is an untrustworthy document and should not be used make factual

findings to form a background.

       “...factual findings, which are based on inadmissible hearsay, are not admissible
       under Rule 803(8)(C) because the underlying information is untrustworthy."
       Complaint of Paducah Towing Co., Inc. (United States v. Paducah Towing Co.,
       Inc.), 692 F.2d 412, 420-21 (6th Cir. 1982). See also Miller v. Caterpillar Tractor
       Co., 697 F.2d 141, 144 (6th Cir. 1983) (court did not abuse discretion in refusing
       to admit as untrustworthy a document that relied upon hearsay statements of
       witnesses made to the investigator). Other courts have reached similar
       Conclusions when faced with analogous situations. See cases cited in Complaint
       of Paducah Towing Co., Inc., 692 F.2d at 421. For example, in Parsons v.
       Honeywell, Inc., 929 F.2d 901, 907 (2d Cir. 1991), the Second Circuit held:

               [31] [A statement of a third party] is plainly not admissible merely
               because contained in a police report. "It is well established that
               entries in a police report which result from the officer's own
               observations and knowledge may be admitted but that statements
               made by third persons under no business duty to report may not."
               United States v. Pazsint, 703 F.2d 420, 424 (9[th] Cir. 1983)
               (emphasis added).” (Id.)

       The “Police Report” used by Ezra is defined, pursuant to Fed. R. Evid., Rule 801., as

Hearsay.

       United States v. Oates, 560 F. 2d 45 (2nd Cir.1977):

               “As the rules of evidence now stand, police and law enforcement
               reports are not admissible against defendants in criminal cases.
               This is made quite clear by the provisions of rule 803(8)(B) and
               (C).

120 Cong.Rec. H12254 (daily ed. Dec. 18, 1974). This unequivocal language
shows that it was Representative Hungate's understanding, and he was as familiar
with the legislation as anyone else in Congress,[26] that the language retained in
FRE 71*71 803(8)(B) and (C) meant that those provisions had the effect of
rendering absolutely inadmissible against defendants in criminal cases the "police
reports" of item (B) and the "evaluative reports" of item (C).

... it [is] manifest that it was the clear intention of Congress to make evaluative
and law enforcement reports absolutely inadmissible against defendants in
criminal cases.

...we perceive to be clear congressional intent that reports not qualifying under
FRE 803(8)(B) or (C) should, and would, be inadmissible against defendants in
criminal cases...”

...a police report . . . is an exception to the new hearsay rules when introduced at
the request of the defense." 521 F.2d at 969 n.24.

Judicial action taken after the trial court's plenary power has expired is void. See State ex. rel
Latty v. Owens, 907 S.W.2d 484, 486 (Tex. 1995); see also Mapco, Inc. v. Forrest, 795 S.W.2d
700, 703 (Tex. 1990) (defining a void judgment as one rendered when a court has no jurisdiction
over the parties or subject matter, no jurisdiction to render judgment, or no capacity to act as a
court).

A party affected by void judicial action need not appeal. State ex rel. Latty, 907 S.W.2d at 486.

If an appeal is taken, however, the appellate court may declare void any orders the trial court
signed after it lost plenary power over the case.. "A void judgment is a nullity from the
beginning, and is attended by none of the consequences of a valid judgment. It is entitled to no
respect whatsoever because it does not affect, impair, or create legal rights." Ex parte Seidel, 39
S.W.3d 221, 225 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).

Only void convictions are subject to collateral attack. Christian v. State, 865 S.W.2d 198, 201
(Tex. App.-Dallas 1993, pet. ref'd) (challenge to voidable error in conviction, raised on appeal
from revocation order, was impermissible collateral attack).

A Void Judgment Is a Void Judgment Is a Void Judgment-Bill of Review and Procedural Due
Process in Texas, 40 Baylor L. Rev. 367, 378-79 (1988). See Thomas, 906 S.W.2d at 262
(holding that trial court has not only power but duty to vacate a void judgment).

A judgment is void only when it is clear that the court rendering judgment had no jurisdiction
over the parties or subject matter, no jurisdiction to render judgment, or no capacity to act as a
court. When appeal is taken from a void judgment, the appellate court must declare the judgment
void. Because the appellate court may not address the merits, it must set aside the trial court's
judgment and dismiss the appeal. A void judgment may be attacked at any time by a person
whose rights are affected. See El-Kareh v. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Comm'n, 874 S.W.2d 192,
194 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1994, no writ); see also Evans v. C. Woods, Inc., No. 12-
99-00153-CV, 1999 WL 787399, at *1 (Tex. App.--Tyler Aug. 30, 1999, no pet. h.).

A void judgment is a "nullity" and can be attacked at any time. Deifik v. State, No. 2-00-443-CR
(Tex.App. Dist.2 09/14/2001)

"A void judgment is a nullity from the beginning, and is attended by none of the consequences of
a valid judgment. It is entitled to no respect whatsoever because it does not affect, impair, or
create legal rights." Since the trial court's dismissal "with prejudice" was void, it may be attacked
either by direct appeal or collateral attack Ex parte Williams, No. 73,845 (Tex.Crim.App.
04/11/2001).

"A void judgment is a nullity from the beginning, and is attended by none of the consequences of
a valid judgment. It is entitled to no respect whatsoever because it does not affect, impair, or
create legal rights." Ex parte Spaulding, 687 S.W.2d at 745 (Teague, J., concurring).

Since the trial court's dismissal "with prejudice" was void, it may be attacked either by direct
appeal or collateral attack. See Ex parte Shields, 550 S.W.2d at 675 a void judgment can be
collaterally attacked. See Glunz v. Hernandez, 908 S.W.2d 253, 255 (Tex. App.-San Antonio
1995, writ denied); Tidwell v. Tidwell, 604 S.W.2d 540, 542 (Tex. Civ. App.- Texarkana 1980, no
writ) (finding that a void judgment may be collaterally attacked by a suit to set aside the
judgment after it has become final if such void judgment becomes material). We agree. A
collateral attack is any proceeding to avoid the effect of a judgment which does not meet all the
requirements of a valid direct attack. See Glunz, 908 S.W.2d at 255. There is neither a set
procedure for a collateral attack nor a statute of limitations. See Glunz, 908 S.W.2d at 255; Davis
v. Boone, 786 S.W.2d 85, 87 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1990, no writ).

Collateral attacks may be only used to set aside a judgment which is void, or which involved
fundamental error. See Glunz, 908 S.W.2d at 255. Fundamental error for this purpose means
cases where the record shows the court lacked jurisdiction or that the public interest is directly
and adversely affected as that interest is declared in the statutes or the Constitution of Texas. See
id. The cases distinguish between judgments which are void, and therefore may be set aside by a
collateral attack, and those which are voidable and must be attacked by a valid direct attack. See
id. A judgment is void if it is shown that the court lacked jurisdiction 1) over a party or the
property; 2) over the subject matter; 3) to enter a particular judgment; or 4) to act as a court.

 Jurisdiction could not be conferred by waiver or retroactively ELNA PFEFFER ET AL. v.
ALVIN MEISSNER ET AL. (11/23/55) 286 S.W.2d 241.

Strictly speaking a void judgment is one which has no legal force or effect whatever. It is an
absolute nullity and such invalidity may be asserted by any person whose rights are affected, at
any time and at any place. It need not be attacked directly, but may be attacked collaterally
whenever and wherever it is interposed. Usually it carries the evidence of its invalidity upon its
face, while a voidable judgment is one apparently valid, but in truth wanting in some material
respect; in other words, one that is erroneous. Such vice may be the want of jurisdiction over the
person or other similar fundamental deficiency, but which vice does not affirmatively appear
upon the face of the judgment.'"BILLY DUNKLIN v. A. J. LAND ET UX. 297 S.W.2d 360
(12/21/56).

Where a void judgment has been rendered and the record in the cause, or judgment roll, reflects
the vice, then the court has not only the power but the duty and even after the expiration of the
term to set aside such judgment. Harrison v. Whiteley, Tex.Com.App., 6 S.W.2d 89. This court in


                                               2 of 3

Neugent v. Neugent, Tex.Civ.App., 270 S.W.2d 223, followed and applied the rule announced in
the Harrison-Whiteley case. The Supreme Court, speaking through Folley, Commissioner, in
Bridgman v. Moore, 143 Tex. 250, 183 S.W.2d 705, at page 707, said: "The court has not only
the power but the duty to vacate the inadvertent entry of a void judgment at any time, either
during the term or after the term, with or without a motion therefore."

We will not extend this discussion further than to state that we here reaffirm the holding on the
point involved as announced by Justice Hightower in the former appeal (301 S.W.2d 181). While
this holding was premature in view of the action of the Supreme Court (304 S.W.2d 265)
reversing our holding, it was not upon the points discussed in Justice Hightower's opinion, but
was on the point that since the judgment appealed from was an interlocutory one and not final,
the appeal should be dismissed. However, we think our holding then is now appropriate. A void
judgment has been termed mere waste paper, an absolute nullity; and all acts performed under it
are also nullities. Again, it has been said to be in law no judgment at all, having no force or
effect, conferring no rights, and binding nobody. It is good nowhere and bad everywhere, and
neither lapse of time nor judicial action can impart validity. Commander v. Bryan, 123 S.W.2d
1008, (Tex.Civ.App., Fort Worth, 1938, n.w.h.); 34 Tex.Jur., Sec. 262, page 177; Maury v.
Turner, 244 S.W. 809, (Tex.Com.App., 1922).

Also, a void judgment has been defined as "one which has no legal force or effect, invalidity of
which may be asserted by any person whose rights are affected at anytime and at any place
directly or collaterally." Black's Law Dictionary; Reynolds v. Volunteer State Life Ins. Co., 80
S.W.2d 1087, (Tex.Civ.App., Eastland, 1935, writ ref.); Gentry v. Texas Department of Public
Safety, 379 S.W.2d 114, 119, (Tex.Civ.App., Houston, 1964, writ ref., n.r.e., 386 S.W.2d 758).

It has also been held that "It is not necessary to take any steps to have a void judgment reversed,
vacated, or set aside. It may be impeached in any action direct or, collateral.' Holder v. Scott, 396
S.W.2d 906, (Tex.Civ.App., Texarkana, 1965, writ ref., n.r.e.).

        *63C Am. Jur. 2d., Public Officers and Employees, 9247f "As                 expressed
        otherwise, the powers delegated to a public officer are held in trust for the people
        and are to be exercised in behalf of the government or of all citizons who may
        need the intervention of the officer. [1]Furthennore, the view has been expressed
        that all public officers, within whatever branch and whatever level of govemment,
        and whatever be their private vocations, are trustees of the people, and
        accordingly labor under every disability and prohibition imposed by law upon
        trustees relative to the making of personal financial gain from a discharge of their
        trusts. [2]That is, a public officer occupies a fiduciary relationship to the political
        entity on whose behalf he or she serves. [3]and owes a fiduciary duty to the
        public. [4]It has been said that the fiduciary responsibilities of a public officer
        cannot be less than those of a private individual. [5]Furthermore, it has been
        stated that any enterprise undertaken by the public official who tends to weaken
        public confidence and undermine the sense of security for individual rights is
        against public policy. Fraud in its elementary common law sense of deceit -and
        this is one of the meanings that fraud bears [483 U.S. 372] in the statute (See,
        United States v. Dial,757 F.2d 163, 168 (7th Cirl985)), includes the deliberate
        concealment of material information in a setting of fiduciary obligation. A public

8.          WHEREAS, as a result of a lack of jurisdiction, the alleged warrant that Childress was

arreet on in Comal County, at 567 Avenue A., New Braunfels, Texas was in fact and in law, null

and void, rendering the arrest, false.

9.          WHEREAS, as a result of the null and void warrant and false arrest of Childress by New

Braunfels police officers at the aforementioned address, this court is also without jurisdiction:

            Jus ex injuria non orifur: Aright cannot arise from a wrong.

            Nemo punifur pro alieno declicto: No one is to be punished for the crime or
            wrong of another.

10.         WHEREAS,     "It   shall be the primary duty of all prosecuting attorneys,... not to convict,

but to see that justice is done. (Texas Code of Crim. Pro., Art. 2.01); "The [prosecutor] is the

representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to

govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation              to govern at all; and whose interest,
therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done.

As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of

which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and

vigor   -   indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike

foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce                a

wrongful conviction as         it is to use every   legitimate means to bring about a just one." Justice

Sutherland in Bergerv. United States, 295 U.S. 78 (1935)

ll.         WHEREAS, "When it clearly appears that the court lacks jurisdiction, the court has no

authority to reach the merits. In such a situation the action should be dismissed for want of

jurisdiction." Mglo v. US, 505 F2d 1026.

       TIIEREtr'ORE, Childress demands that this court dismiss the charge and Cause against

him, for forcirig him to invoke the power and jurisdiction of an Appeals Court so as to compel

this court to do right would not only be unduly burdensome, but would also add to and furtlrer

iilflicL intentionally, emotional distress and sfiengthen distrust in the judicial offrcers involved in

the above reference Cause No. and the judicial system itself,
