# is**AND FOR EXTENSION** **OF TIME** **TO FILE** **APPELLATE gRfiEF** **<■<: TO** **THE FOURTH** **DISTRICT COURT** **OF APPEALS:** 

### NOW**COMES Appellant,** **Rowland J.** **Martin, Administrator** **and Heir** **of the** **Estate of** **King, pursuant** **to Tex.** **R. App.** **Pro 27.1,** **and files this,** **his "Appellant's** **Supplemental Amended** **Motion To** **Abate And** **For Extension** **Of Time** **To File** **Appellate Brief,"** **in support** **of which** **the following** **is shown:** **STATEMENT OF** **THE CASE** **Appellant supplements** **his pending** **abatement motions** **to request** **the Court** **to take** **judicial notice** **of the** **filing of** **final notice** **of appeal,** **and to** **request retroactive** **grant of** 

### abatement**from July** **10,2015 until** **such time** **as the** **Court may** **provide for** **the filing** **of an** **appellate brief.** **Supplementation of** **the record** **is also** **requested. Appellant** **has ascertained** **that the** **dismissal proceeding** **is final** **based on** **the order** **of June** **29, 2015** **that came** **to his** **attention on** 

### July**17,2015, and** **is ready,** **willing and** **able, to** **proceed with** **the filing** **of his** **appellate brief.** **DISCUSSION**

### After**diligent pre-filing** **inquiries into** **docket records** **in Exhibits** **and after** **receiving new** **papers that** **the Probate** **Court transmitted** **by postal** **mail on** **or about** **July 21,** **2015**

### in**Exhibit D,** **Appellant now** **construes the** **order on** **June 29,** **2015, and** **the newly** **transmitted findings** **on July** **21,2015, as** **indicative rulings** **that together** **clearly and** **unambiguously establish** **the Probate** **Court's intention** **to accord** **finality to** **the dismissal** **action taken** **on June** **29, 2015.** **Further, the** **delay in** **proceeding with** **regular appeal** **was not** **for dilatory** **reasons, but** **was in** 

### response**to an** **extraordinary need** **for diligence** **in ascertaining** **the factual** **foundation for** **invoicing appellate** **jurisdiction by** **way of** **regular appeal** **on April** **16, 2015.** **The breakdown** **in**

### communications**with the** **Probate Court** **reported in** **Appellant's motion** **of July** **24, 2015** **substantiates the** **reasonableness of the** **caution that** **Appellant has attempted** **to exercise.** **The attachments** **include copies of** **docket records** **and orders** **on June** **29, 2015,** **and July** **10, 2015** **in Exhibits** **C, and** **copies of** **related documents** **containing probate** **court findings** 

### that**issued on** **July 21,** **2015 in** **Exhibit D.** **In pertinent** **part, the** **Probate Court's** **final dismissal** **order on** **June 29,2015** **grants the** **respondents' motion** **for nunc** **pro tune** **dismissal order** **in lieu** **of the** **erroneously dated order** **on March** **31, 2015.** **The July** **10, 2015** **order granted** **hearing on** **motion for** **correct die** **judgment. The** **findings issued** **on July** **21,2015 operate** **as final** **response to** **Appellant's notice** **of late** **filing of** **findings of** **fact and** **conclusions of** **law filed** **on July** **10, 2015,** **and also** **provides reasonable** **basis for** **the presentation** **of arguments** **about the** **nature of** **the Probate** **Court's error** **in dismissing** **Appellant's cause** **of action** **for declaratory** **and injunctive** 

### relief.**Notwithstanding, reliance** **on the** **July 21,** **2015 findings** **of fact** **for establish** **the finality** **of the** **order on** **June 29,2015,** **Appellant takes** **special exception** **to the** **actions taken** **on July** **21, 2015** **for the** **reason that** **the breakdown** **in communication** **with the** **Probate Court** **is more** **extensive than** **originally believed.** 

### Under**the fundamental** **error rule,** **jurisdictional errors** **can be** **raised for** **the first** **time on** **appeal. In** **re King's** **Estate, 150** **Tex. 662,** **244 S.W.2d** **660 (1951);** **Tex. Ass'n** **of Bus.** **v. Tex.** **Air**

### Control**Bd., 852** **S.W.2d 440,445-46** **(Tex. 1993).** **Applying fundamental** **error analysis,** **Appellant is** **aggrieved in** **particular by** **the fact** **that the** **Probate Court** **transmitted its** **findings on** 

### July**21, 2015** **by way** **of citation** **referring to** **the style** **of the** **case as** **"In the** **Estate of** **Rafael G.** **Trevino," and** **with an** **accompanying order** **directing Martin** **to show** **cause why** **he should** **not be** **removed as** **Administrator for** **the Estate of** **King, based** **on supposed** **representation to** **the**

### probate**court that** **no final** **settlement has** **been filed.** **copy of** **the 2008** **heirship settlement** **that Appellant** **represented to** **the Probate** **Court at** **the hearing** **on March** **31, 2015** **is attached** **in Exhibit** **E. Appellant** **infers from** **the latter** **the probable** **cause of** **the breakdown** **in**

### communication**lies in** **the Probate** **Court's reliance** **on oral** **arguments by** **the counsel** **for the** **tax authorities** **to ascertain** **its jurisdiction** **without regard** **to evidence** **of record** **and the** **case law** 

### authorities**cited in** **Appellant's pleadings.1** **As general** **rule, "[receiving** **suit papers** **or actual** **notice through** **procedure not** 

### authorized**for service** **is treated** **the same** **as never** **receiving them." Wilson** **v. Dunn,** **800 S.W.2d** **833, 836** **(Tex. 1990).** **It is** **unclear here** **how the** **requirements for** **service of** **proper Estates** **Code citation,** **and for** **the filing** **of proper** **Estates Code** **return of** **service, can** **even plausibly** **be met** **in the** **current state** **of the** **appeal. Firman** **Leather Goods** **Corp. v.** **McDonald Shaw,** **217 S.W.** **2d 137,140** **(Tex. Civ.** **App. El** **Paso 1948,** **no writ)** **(proper return** **of service** **must precede** 

### Appellant**questions the** **reasonable of** **the Probate** **Court's finding** **that representations** **were made** **to suggest** **that the** **estate inventory** **includes one** **parcel of** **property as** **to which** **there has** **been no** **final settlement.** **See generally,** **"Relator's Brief** **in In** **re Martin,** **Case No.** **04-13-00370-CV (Tex.** **App. San** **Antonio, 2013)** **writ denied).** **In fact,** **the Probate** **Court itself** **expressly confirmed** **the existence** **of settlement** **when it** **acknowledged Appellant's** **capacity to** **proceed pro** **se at** **the hearing** **on March** **31, 2015** **with the** **statement: 'The** **settlement agreement** **with the** **other 50** **percent heirs** **takes away** **that concern** **for me."** **Vol. RR** **8, lines** **19-21. See** **also, Vol.** **RR (lines** **7-16) (Martin:** **'There was** **settlement agreement** **that involved** **mutual exchange** **of releases** **between myself,** **in my** **capacity as** **an heir,** **and [the** **estate of)** **Opal Gilliam.")** **and p.** **(line 13)** **p. (line** **23) (Martin:** **"...[A]s said** **earlier, there** **was an** **heirship settlement** **agreement where** **the other** **50 percent** **interest holder** **released all** **claims against** **my distribution** **from the** **estate."). Appellant** **is unfamiliar** **with the** **source of** **the Probate** **Court's belief** **as of** **July 221,** **2015 that** **there is** **only "I** **remaining asset"** **in the** **estate, as** **the statement** **facially neglects** **to consider** **Martin's demands** **to remove** **clouds from** **title to** **real property** **of the** **estate in** **Case NO.** **2015-**

### CI-4779,**and related** **efforts to** **wipe the** **slate clean** **by litigating** **the chose** **in action** **in Martin** **v. Bravenec,** **et al.** **Case No.** **15-0541 (Tex.** **S. Ct.,** **filed July** **23, 2015).** **The finding** **is unsupported** **in the reporters** **record, and** **apparently neglects** **to consider** **evidence of** **clerk's record** **of the** **dismissal proceeding** **that was** **originally administered** **on March** **31. 2015.** 

### divestiture**of trial** **court jurisdiction** **in order** **to be** **effective). Indeed,** **it is** **difficult to** **see how** **expectations of** **fundamental due** **process can** **be fulfilled** **where reviewing** **judge is** **acting sua** 

### sponte**in prosecutorial** **capacity based** **on unnoticed** **evidence and** **attestations grounded** **in sources** **known only** **to the** **same reviewing** **judge. Cf.,** **Gonzalez v.** **State, Case** **No. 04-14-00222-** **CR (Tex.** **App. San** **Antonio, July** **15, 2015)** **(due process** **requires good** **faith disclosure** **of exculpatory** **evidence in** **prosecutorial setting).** 

### Reserving**detailed explanation** **of the** **factual basis** **for alleging** **fundamental errors for** **the intended** **appellate brief,** **it suffices** **to challenge** **the process** **administered in** **connection with** **the Probate** **Court's findings** **on July** **21, 2015** **with respect** **to (1) lack** **of personal** **jurisdiction in** **the probate** **court under** **Estates Code** **Section 1051.003(a)** **(3) which** **requires citation** **under the** **code to** **include "the** **style and** **number of** **the proceeding"** **for the** **matter under** **review, (2)** **lack of** **subject matter** **jurisdiction in** **the probate** **court under** **case law** **authority guaranteeing** **opportunities for** **self-representation by** **pro se** **administrators in** **Exparte Shaffer,** **649 S.W.2d** **300 (Tex.** **1983), and** **(3) lack** **of capacity** **in the** **probate court** **to comply** **with structural** **safeguards in** **Tex. R.** **Evid. 605** **("The judge** **presiding at** **the trial** **may not** **testify in** **that trial** **as witness.** **No objection** **need be** **made in** **order to** **preserve the** **point.") CONCLUSION** **AND PRAYER** **For all** **the reasons** **above, the** **Court of** **Appeals is** **respectfully requested** **to allow** **the late** 

### filing**of an** **opening appellate** **brief concurrently** **with the** **requested abatement** **of the** **appeal retroactively** **to July** **10, 2015.** **On one** **hand, it** **clearly appears** **that the** **Probate Court** **has spoken** 

### on**the issue** **of the** **finality and** **that further** **proceedings to** **modify the** **judgment through** **the**

### probate**court process** **would be** **futile. On** **the other** **hand, the** **known errors** **from March** **31, 2015,** **coupled with** **prima facie** **errors on** **June 29,2015,** **from withholding** **notice and** **opportunity to** **be**
