  4.It is also requested by Mr. Rodarte Sr./that/on this court's
    own orders/order suspension of the enforcement of trial court's
    order on October 07/2015/granting appellees' Second In Rem Sutrmary
     Judgement Motion/suspending enforcement Of Writ Of Possession/
     and Execution Orders/that are usually filed and ordered when a
     a foreclosure proceeding action happens.

   5.It is requested by Mr. Rodarte Sr./for a full appellate record
     and all exhibits/trial transcriptS/be made available for this
     court to utilize in this matter. Should i t be deemed necessary/
     that this court/obtain a copy of Mr. Rodarte*s list of litigation
     as found pursuant to Texas Civil Practices And Remedies/Chapter
     14/Inmate jSitigation/as found in my cases before this court/undere
     04-14-00922-CV and 04-15-00012-Cv.

  6.as per the exhibits already filed in cause 2010-CI-14597/especially
    copies of a trial court judgement in 1995-CI-05393 where Judge
    Carol Haberroan had decreed 7418 Pipe Spring to appellant Rodarte Sr.
    Another concern/is the fact that the contract made by Rachel A.
     Rodarte on December 22/2006/must include a    loan made to the same
     lender/Beneficial Texas Inc./to which the proceeds from the second
     loan/were used to pay off the loan made in 2005/to which/aVoluntary
     Consent/to apply proceeds from this loan to the 2005 loan/was
     left blank/therefore a violation of Texas Const.Art.16§50provision.
     This also concerns Art.l6§50 and very specific provisions/in that
     said provisions are very clear/in thatthere are supposed to be
     signatures from all owners/to include Mr. Rodarte/Whom had paid
     for the since 1994/and all county records show that appellant is
     100 percent owner/that all county records/even at Bexr County
     Sheriff's Department/showw 7418 Pipe Spring as Mr. Rodarte's
     home       of   record.
     That an exemption/Homestead designation has been filed with the
     Secretary of Texas on February 2013. That Rachel A. Rodarte/had
     executed bobha General Warranty Gift Deed and A Last Will And
     Testament/done by Valerie Alonzo there in San Antonio/Texas/at
     3123 Loop 410 78230 (210)340-3270./that under Texas Homestead laws
      under Probate/Property Code/Texas Const.Art^6§50/51/52/should
     by law/set aside exempt homestead property.        Mr. Rodarte's
    Second Motion For Summary Judgement/dated October 19/2012/Which
     includes abl of the arguments deemed necessary for the success
     of garnering issuance of orders requested above/as well as for a
    successful appeal in this matter.

  Appellant Mr. Rodarte Sr./makes it known to this court/that he is
indigent/and cannot pay for the costs and fees incurred for the pro
secution of said orders/process/appellate record/etc.

  Before appellant continues any further/it must be brought to the
attention of this coutt/as it has been done to other courtS/that
there are severe concerns when filing legal documents as timely or
otherwise. This concerns TDCJ Personnel/Denna Davis and those in
concert with ]^^^?7in not issuing indigent supplies/see current Removal
to USDC there in San Antonio/Texas that hinders legal mail/and the unit
no longer has Probate/Finance/Insurance Codes/which is worse.
                                    2.

 Rodarte's Motion For Injunction/Appellate Record/Etc./(10/14/2015)

 The Clements Unit/makes it rathecr difficult/to obtain indigent
supplies for mailing and completing legal work. This is being done
out of spite/deliberate and conscience indifference by TDCJ Prison
Officials/to bB obstruct/defuse and disrupt inmate litigation/and
lessen any opportunity for successful litigation by an inmate. All
that has to be done is to investigate other inmates at this unit.
   Alright/now to proceed with proper argument and without counsel/
seems that any and all attempts to obtain counsel/have been met with
"I'm sorry I cannot assist you/my plate is full/I do not handle cases
such as yours/"but always helpful in giving free advice such as "Be
aware/that there are statute of limitations/when filing certain cases".
  Under Texas Homestead protections/exempt homestead law/to which I
will address shortly/I have uncovered under Deceptive Trade And Practices
Act/Texas Business And Commerece Code/Civil practices And Remedies
Chapter 12/12.002(a)(3)(B)(C)();12.003(a)(7)(8);Chap.9/Texas Insurance
Code/to whatever that may be/since the Clements Unit/no longer raainatins
maintains Vernon's Texas Annotated Code for Probate/Finance/Insurance/
Business And Commercial Code/Uniform Commercial Code,and the rest of
the books are outdated by at least three years. Therefore/I can only
provide the code numbers of what I «b was able to apply previously
in this cause of action. Please excuse my typing/it has been a while
since losing my typewriter back in June.
  I tryly believe that my home is my home/especially with the applic
ation of Bankruptcy Code (U.S.),522(f)(1)(b)(2)/Texas Property Code
41.001/41.002:52.001/52.002 and applicable subsections/Texas Const.
Art.l6§50(a)(6)(i)(ii)(Q)(i)(iii)(v)(viii)(ix)(x)(xi)(g):(a)(6)(a)-
(T,)/(Q)(l?)(3)(not require you to apply proceeds to another debt except
a debt that is secured by your home....,(3) Not require you to execute
instruments that have blanks left to be filled in,(5)provide that you
receive a copy of all documents signed at closing;(9)Provide that you
and lender acknowledge the fair market value of your home on the date
the loan closes/to which there is no evidence of this fact by Beneficial

   Rodart^e's Motion For Injunction/Appellate Record/Etc./(10/14/2015)

  Continuning with the values used by appellant/to show appellees'
willful exceedance of the 80 percent allowed under the Texas Const.
Art.l6§50 and its provisions/values used/were values stated by the
Bexar County Apprasial District in 2005 and 2006. the first note/to
which is being used as eviddence/shows that appellant's Mom/Rachel
A. Rodarte/took a loan out on my home in 2005 for ;#49.000.20 to which
Bexar County valued for $59/300.00 and in 2005 Bexar County valued my
home at $55/080.00 and was loaned in question by lender/$50/000.08
these two loans/are clearly beyond the 80 percent allowed under Texas
ai law/to which lender failed to cure/did not have the required ack
nowledgement between both lender and borrower at the time of closing.
  This is furthdP'evident/When   a 1998 divorce decree/signed by Judge
Carol Haberman in cause 1995-CI-05393/to which this court is aware of
in appeal no.SstxkSxxx 04-14-00922-CV/decreed my home to roe in 1998.
Thus/needing my signature on the contract as well/which also violates
Art.l5§50.
  The applicable Probate codes/that should immune my home from seioure
and forced sale/like property code/are 38/58/59/460(a)(d)(a)(d)/270/
271/281/282. One last provision under Texas Const.Art.15§50/is (g)/
notice provision/to which there is no evidence of/or a copy of a
contract/that should have been made in Spanish for my Mom/or thati an
interpreter was used in the making of the note.
  The applicable Finance and Insurance Codes/are as follows; Finance
Code 181.305/182.405/94.052(A)(b);94.151(a)/for taxes/insurance/for
the protection of the lender/31.305/34.101/see 15 USC§78c(a);34.104/
34.102,34.105/34.203//34.301/34.304(a)(b)(c)(d),34.305,34.307 Right
