              APPELLANTS’ MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HON. COURT:

      THIS MOTION PRAYS FOR RE-HEARING, A RE-SUBMISSION OF

This Case for Court’s review; this, because the opinion rendered on May 14th

2015 affirming the trial court’s decision, was in error.

      In Lowe v. Lowe, Cause number 14-96-01329-CV, (14th Court of Appeals –

June 18th 1998) a case similar to this instant case, this Court ruled that the case

law of Craddock v. Sunshine Bus Lines, Inc., 133 S.W.2d 124, 126 (Tex. 1939) did

apply, and that case was remanded for new trial. As the circumstance of Lowe is

similar to this case, the Court should have equally found that Craddock applies

in this case, as the Court found in Lowe.

       Appellant Albert Morris showed in the Brief that his failure to appear for

the summary judgment motion hearing, was not intentional or result of

conscious indifference, but was due to accident or mistake; this being the first

prong in Craddock. At that time, Albert Morris had series of surgeries in which

                                                                                      1
he was physically incapacitated in a hospital bed, and could not have attended

the hearing at trial court. This fact was true and uncontroverted.

      For merit, Appellants further showed that they have meritorious claim

for a Bill of Review where an essential party was not party in the original suit;

this essential party was neither disclosed nor known to the Appellants at the

time it (American Home Mortgage Service Inc.) took the short gun approach

of self help in conducting a March 3rd 2009 foreclosure of their Home Equity

Loan without judicial consent. The attached document, shows that Wells Fargo

knew that the March 3rd 2009 foreclosure was conducted unlawfully; hence,

Wells Fargo attempt to “correct” the situation by foreclosing on same property

on October 4th 2014 – see attached Notice of Foreclosure.

      Contrary to the Court’s opinion on page 8 of the May 14th 2015

Opinion, Appellants did not waive this issue of Indispensable party; this is

because this fact was part of the trial court’s record; and such record was fully

furnished to this Court as part of the record on appeal. Also, failure of the

Court to review all matters before it, goes contrary to the basic law of trial de

novo in appeal of cases such as this where summary judgment was granted.

      For the third prong of the Craddock rule, Appellants filed a motion for

new trial when it would not cause delay of otherwise injure the prevailing party.

The matter between the litigants have gone on for some time, a continuance

                                                                                    2
(or new trial) of the summary judgment motion hearing would not have made

any difference, or caused any delay.

      In same Lowe v Lowe’s case, this Court in footnote 1 in it’s opinion, noted

that “the party need not satisfy all three prongs when the party did not receive

notice of the hearing or suit.” The Court further credited that view to a sister

Court in Bryant v. Gamblin, 829 S.W.2d 228, 229 (Tex. App. – Eastland 1991,

writ denied). Appellants did not receive notice of the trial court’s hearing.

                                    PRAYER

      Appellants Urges this honorable Court to vacate it’s May 14th 2015

Opinion and Judgment, and Re-Hear this appeal for fairness and justice.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
