Aug. 21, 2007) (recognizing majority position that party whose activities are limited to enforcement of security interests is not subject to all FDCPA requirements, and stating, ”[i]f a person invokes judicial remedies only to enforce the security interest in property, then the effort is not subject to the FDCPA (other than § 1692f(6) and § 1692i(a))[,] [b]ut if the person is also seeking additional relief, such as a personal judgment against the borrower, then the FDCPA applies.”) (collecting cases); Chomilo v.

PROBLEM: on one.” Strickland, 466 U.S. at 697, 104 S.Ct. at 2069. Capshaw cannot establish that his attorney’s performance was deficient for failing to object to the admission of cell phone records. His trial counsel would not have prevailed on such an objection under the governing law, and thus counsel’s performance was not deficient for failing to object. It is undisputed that the government obtained a court order, under 18 U.S.C. § 2703, requiring Sprint Nextel to produce the cell phone records of Capshaw and three other people to show calls between them during the period of the murder-for-hire plot. Obtaining those telephone rec ords through a § 2703 court order did not violate the Fourth Amendment. See Smith v. Mainland, 442 U.S. 735, 743-44, 99 S.Ct. 2577, 2582, 61 L.Ed.2d 220 (1979) (<HOLDING>). Capshaw had no reasonable expectation of

SOLUTION: (D)

PROBLEM: lease. See Tex. Prop.Code Ann. § 24.002(a) (Vernon 2000). Here, the trial court awarded lost rents pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 752, which provides in pertinent part: On the trial of the cause in the county court the appellant or appellee shall be permitted to plead, prove and recover his damages, if any, suffered for withholding or defending possession of the premises during the pendency of the appeal. Damages may include but are not limited to loss of rentals during the pendency of the appeal ... Tex.R. Civ. P. 752. To support an award of lost rents under rule 752, the plaintiff must prove the defendant occupied the leased premises during the pendency of the appeal. See Powell v. Mel Powers Inv. Builder, 590 S.W.2d 837, 839 (Tex.App.Houston [14th DistJ 1979, no writ) (<HOLDING>). Appellant argues there is no evidence in the
