10. Item 16 on page 39 of the AMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLEE is also without
merit.TheAppellant's lsr AMENDEDMorIoN To REINSTATE AND MoTIoN To
QUASH assertedthat the ORDER OF DISMISSAL signedon October l4th, 2013, should be
wholly voided. After hearing the argumentsat the hearing, the trial court determinedthat only
two of the causesof action were valid, so the order could not be wholl,y voided. The Appellant
Page6 of 9 did not contestthat decision,but that would not logically constitutea waiverof withdrawalof
thatmotion. In short,havinga motiondenieddoesnot constitutea withdrawalof that motion.
Theabovenotwithstanding, the motionto quashwaseffectivelygrantedin part by the
trial court.
I l. In Item 17on page40 of the AMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLEEthe appellee
contendsthe ls AMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLANT containsan argumentthat wasnot
presented to the trial court. Specifically,the argumentthat a time extendingmotion,otherthan
the MOTION TO REINSTATE,wasfiled wasnot presented to the trial court. This contentionis
moot becausethe Appellantdid not presentthis argumentin the lst AMENDED BRIEF OF
APPELLANT.
t2. In Item 18on page40 of theAMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLEEthe Appellee
contendsthat the lst AMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLANT doesnot conformto Rule 35.1(h)
andRule 38.I (i) of the TexasRulesof AppellateProcedure.This Courtknowsthis to be false
becausethe ls AMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLANT hasalreadybeenmeasuredagainstthe
standards setforth in Rule38.1in response to the APPELLEE'SSECONDMOTION FOR
INVOLI.INTARYDISMISSAL.
13. In Item 19on page40 of theAMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLEEcomplainsthat
the I't AMENDED BRIEF OF APPELLANT did not challengeany of the trial court'sfinding of
fact. This is entirelyirrelevant. The Appellantagreeswith the factspresented by the trial court
in the FINDINGSOF FACT AND CONCLUSIONSOF LAW, with thepossibleexceptionof
Items3 and4, but hascontestedthe basisfor the trial court'sconclusionsandits decisionto sign
theORDEROF DISMISSALon Januarv27th.2014.
