ARGUMENT .............................................................................................................1
I.       OBJECTION:
         SACKS OBJECTS TO THE FACTUALLY INACCURATE
         STATEMENTS MADE IN HALL’S RESPONSE AND ASKS THE
         COURT NOT TO ACCEPT THEM AS TRUE. ............................................. 1
         A. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, he never told Deana
            “he would continue treating her, but in order to do so, she must pay
            Hall the amount that she owed”. (page 2) .................................................. 2
         B. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Sacks never stated at
            Trial “Dr. Hall said that he would not treat her unless she paid the
            money he owed her”. (An apparent Freudian slip here) (Hall
            response page 3, para 2). ............................................................................3
         C. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Hall was not “forced
            to spend over $150,000 in attorney fees” and was not forced to pay
            attorney fees because he did not have an army of attorneys
            working for him without pay. (page 3)....................................................... 5
         D. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Hall did not perfectly
            place orthodontic braces on Appellant’s teeth (page 2) ............................. 7
         E. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Sacks simply did not
            stop coming to Hall (page 2) ...................................................................... 8
II.      THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF PRESENTMENT
         (Relates to Point of Error I) ...........................................................................11
         A. Consistent with Hall’s internal files, he testified at Trial that he
            never asked Sacks for money. ..................................................................12
         B. Sacks testified that no one at Hall’s office ever demanded or
            requested money from her after she prepaid Hall $4,775 for a 36
            month treatment plan that failed after only a few months. ......................13
         C. Hall’s second of three internal ledgers (generated 3/20/2007 at
            3:35PM) pertaining to a $1,220 contract never entered into by the
            parties cannot be considered presentment of a claim, especially
            with Hall’s April 18, 2007, response to the complaint with GHDS
            admitting that a refund was owed to Sacks (DX10@A93) and
            Hall’s subsequent internal ledger reflecting a zero balance on the
            Sacks/Hall contract. (DX1@74)...............................................................18

          UNRECOVERABLE ATTORNEY FEES REQUIRES REVERSAL
          (Relates to Point of Error II) ..........................................................................24
IV.       IT IS UNCONTESTED THAT HALL DID NOT PERFORM 100%
          OF THE SERVICES AGREED TO UNDER THE PARTIES’ ONLY
          CONTRACT;    THEREFORE THE     $1,220 AWARD IS
          UNSUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE AND MUST BE
          REVERSED.
          (Relates to Point of Error III, IV, & V) .........................................................26
V.        ON THE FACE OF THE FORM CONTRACT DRAFTED BY
          HALL, THE INSURANCE BENEFITS ESTIMATED BY HALL
          WERE ASSIGNED BUT NOT RECEIVED, NECESSITATING A
          NEW (SECOND) CONTRACT BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO
          DEAL WITH ASSIGNED, UNPAID INSURANCE BENEFITS,
          AND NO NEW CONTRACT WAS EVER CREATED OR SIGNED
          BY THE PARTIES.

                       COURT NO. 3, CASE NO. 919405,
                          HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

                          REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES

 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

           Appellant, Deana Pollard Sacks (herein referred to as “Sacks”), submits this

 reply to the Brief of Appellees Thomas F. Hall and Thomas F. Hall, D.D.S., M.S.,

     P.A. (herein sometimes collectively referred to as “Hall”).

                                       ARGUMENT

I.      OBJECTION:
        SACKS   OBJECTS  TO   THE    FACTUALLY INACCURATE
        STATEMENTS MADE IN HALL’S RESPONSE AND ASKS THE
        COURT NOT TO ACCEPT THEM AS TRUE.
                                 01-14-00301-CV

      Appellees submitted their brief in this case on December 18, 2014. Within

this response, there are a series of factually inaccurate statements in his statement

of the case that cannot be relied upon. Perhaps that is why he failed to make even

one record cite. Tex. R. App. P. 38. (See Hall’s Response at 2-5).

      Below is a chart of examples:

   A. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, he never told Deana “he
      would continue treating her, but in order to do so, she must pay Hall the
      amount that she owed”. (page 2)
      Hall never told Sacks she owed money and should pay anything for past

services. Hall cites nowhere in the record for such a statement, and none exists.

Hall did testify clearly and unequivocally on the subject, and specified that he

never asked Sacks for money. Specifically:

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] In this case, Ms. Pollard, did you ever send
         her a collection letter?
      A. [Dr. Hall] We never did.
      Q. Did you ever call her up and ask her to pay?
      A. Not to my knowledge.

(RR V.5, P.75, LL.9-23).

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] You never sent her a collection letter?
      A. [By Dr. Hall] We never asked her for the money or sent her a
         collection letter.

(RR V.5, P.106, LL.2-4).

      Contrary to the unsupported statement made in his response, Hall never

testified that he asked Sacks for money.

                                01-14-00301-CV

   B. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Sacks never stated at Trial
      “Dr. Hall said that he would not treat her unless she paid the money he
      owed her”. (An apparent Freudian slip here) (Hall response page 3,
      para 2).
      This is probably a Freudian slip by Hall, but it is true that according to

Hall’s records (PX2 [January 24, 2007, entry]; DX10@92-93) and common sense,

Hall did owe Sacks a refund. However, Sacks’s testimony on this subject is clear.

      Q: [By Mr. Travis] Have you ever been asked to pay more than
         $5,996.25 to Dr. Hall?
      A: No. I was never asked to pay more than $4775, ever.

(RR V.4, P.68, LL.16-19).

      Q: Did anybody say there was any problem with the billing or that
         you owed more money on July 12, 2006?
      A: No.
      Q: What about your next visit on August 2, 2006?
      A: No one said anything about supposedly owing money ever.

(RR V.3, P.139, LL.14-19).

      Q. As of January 9, 2007, nobody had ever said,
         "Oh, by the way, you owe us money," Dr. Hall's office?
      A. No.

(RR V.3, P.153, LL.4-6).

      Q. Did Glenda Johnson or Dr. Hall or anybody from
         that office ever say, "You now have to pay us $1,220"?
      A. No, no one has ever said that.

(RR V.4, P.15, L.24 – P.16, L.1).

                                  01-14-00301-CV

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] You said you never saw the bill until you saw
         this lawsuit?
      A. [By Sacks] I never got a bill.
      Q. You never got a bill.
      A. I was never presented with a bill.

(RR V.4, P.124, LL.14-18).

      This is Sacks’s only testimony on the presentment issue.

      Hall does try to mischaracterize testimony related to Sacks’s transferring her

treatment. After it was clear that the original treatment with Orthoclear trays failed,

a second treatment plan with braces on the top teeth was formulated. This second

treatment plan (with upper braces instead of trays) was going to start after the root

canal and crown work Sacks underwent from October 2006 through January 2007

was completed. Hall wanted to be paid more money for the future contemplated

work on the new, second treatment plan which was necessitated after Hall’s

original treatment plan (putting teeth-torqueing Orthoclear trays on severely

infected teeth and gums) failed.      Ultimately, Sacks discontinued seeing Hall,

created an entirely new orthodontic treatment plan with the new dentist and

basically started over (RR V.3, PP.154-155, L.7; RR V.4, P.18, L.3-13, P.18, L.21

– P.19, L.1) paying $5,200 for the new treatment plan with another dentist.

(PX15@31, 35-36).

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                         Page 4
                                 01-14-00301-CV

      Sacks’s testimony was consistent with Dr. Hall’s testimony on this issue, as

Dr. Hall testified on several occasions that he never asked Sacks for money. For

example:

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] In this case, Ms. Pollard, did you ever send
         her a collection letter?
      A. [By Dr. Hall] We never did.
      Q. Did you ever call her up and ask her to pay?
      A. Not to my knowledge.

(RR V.5, P.75, LL.9-23).
      Q. [By Mr. Travis] You never sent her a collection letter?
      A. [By Dr. Hall] We never asked her for the money or sent her a
         collection letter.

(RR V.5, P.106, LL.2-4).
      In any event, contrary to Hall’s suggestion in his brief, Sacks made no such

admission at Trial, and the Freudian slip is noteworthy.

   C. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Hall was not “forced to
      spend over $150,000 in attorney fees” and was not forced to pay
      attorney fees because he did not have an army of attorneys working for
      him without pay. (page 3)
      Hall had at least two attorneys throughout the pre-trial and trial of this case

(see appearance sheets on RR V.1 through V.7; see also DX18) and never paid a

penny. This exact question was posed to Dr. Hall at Trial. Specifically:

      Q. [By Mr. Beers] You have not paid any attorney's fees in this case,
         have you?
      A. [By Dr. Hall] No.

(RR V.5, P.4, LL.16-18)

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                       Page 5
                                      01-14-00301-CV

        As a side note, it was stated by Hall’s counsel that any attorney fees were

paid by Hall’s insurance company. (RR V.5, P.5, LL.9-10). 1 In fact, when

reviewing the attorney bills offered by Hall, they are clearly bills to a carrier to

address the defense of the medical negligence and DTPA claims brought in this

case. (See DX18 [Attorney bills]) (Appendix 12).

        So Hall had a free ride on any contract claim against Sacks and the claims he

brought against Aetna and Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS). (SCR

31-38 [Dr. Hall’s petition against Aetna and ERS], 39-41 [Aetna’s Answer], 42-44

[ERS Plea to Jurisdiction]; CR155-57, 190-91 [Dr. Hall’s non-suits]). (DX18).

Curiously, Hall includes attorney time and expenses associated with him suing

third parties (Aetna and ERS) in his claim against Sacks. (DX18) (Appendix 12).

        These are the same attorney bills, paid by a malpractice carrier, which Hall

claims he could not segregate. Hall failed and refused to segregate any time spent

on his significant motions for summary judgment or motions to dismiss the

medical negligence and DTPA claims from his contract claim (all of which

motions were unsuccessful) or his claims against third parties. (RR V.6, PP.116-

121).

        In any event, contrary to the uncited statements in Hall’s brief, he paid zero

attorney fees.

1This is a subject not normally commented on, but, Hall incorrectly represented to this Court
multiple times that he paid attorney fees, and he did not.

   D. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Hall did not perfectly
      place orthodontic braces on Appellant’s teeth (page 2)
      Hall did not place braces on Sacks’s upper teeth. He fitted her for Orthoclear

trays. Hall’s original treatment plan called for braces on the lower teeth and called

for Orthoclear trays on the upper teeth. (PX2@1).

      Hall did not complete the original treatment plan for braces on Sacks’s lower

teeth and Orthoclear trays on her upper teeth when Sacks discovered that using the

tight, teeth-torqueing Orthoclear trays caused unusual and excruciating pain due to

pre-existing infected and inflamed upper teeth roots which Hall failed to disclose

before starting the orthodontia treatment. (RR V.4, P.187; RR V.3, P.154; RR V.6,

PP.33-37; PX10). X-rays Hall ordered and reviewed prior to beginning

orthodontic treatment of Sacks clearly showed large infections and failing

restorations that Hall did not disclose to Sacks; the undisputed evidence at trial was

that the clarity of the pre-existing infections in Sacks’s teeth at the time Hall began

orthodontic treatment of her without informing her of the infections was a “10” on

a scale of 1-10 – very obvious to any dentist reviewing the X ray. (RR V.6, P.33,

L.19 – P.37, L.1). The “clear” style orthodontia appliances on her upper teeth, the

“Orthoclear” brand aligners, are a series of tight fitting trays that move your teeth

(RR V.3, P.145) that are very painful when they apply torque to infected teeth and

gums. (RR V.3, P.143-45). When Sacks discovered, through another dentist, the

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                         Page 7
                                  01-14-00301-CV

pre-existing infections and other dental problems that Hall did not disclose, she

immediately sought care from another dentist to take care of the infections, root

canals, and crowns that were needed (PX16@7, 8, and 16; PX13@11, 16-21;

PX12@12, 16), which then meant that the Orthoclear aligners would no longer fit

and were worthless. (RR V.3, P.154, LL.1-18; RR V.4, P.20; see RR V.5, P.41,

LL.4-9, DX1@21, DX10@A91).

      If a patient, fitted with Orthoclear trays, later has dental restorations

performed on their teeth such as fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, the trays will

no longer fit. (Id; DX1@21). The dental restorations change the positioning of the

teeth and the trays may no longer fit. They did not fit Sacks after her necessary root

canals and crowns. (Id.). Even Hall recognizes this fact. (RR V.5, P.41, LL.4-9).

      So, there was nothing perfect about Hall’s work or treatment plan. In fact,

Sacks had to pay an additional $5,200 for a second treatment plan to another

dentist to accomplish the same work Hall was paid to perform. (PX15@31, 35-36).

   E. Contrary to Hall’s statement in his response, Sacks simply did not stop
      coming to Hall (page 2)
      Sacks did not simply stop coming. After informing Hall about the pain

caused by the Orthoclear trays torqueing on teeth with pre-existing, severe

infections/root canal needs in October 2006, (RR V.3, PP.142-144) she spent

several months addressing the problems.

                                 01-14-00301-CV

10/12/2006 Dr. Salazar worked on tooth 2 to try to get rid of the infection.
           (PX12@16).

12/20/2006 Sacks has appointment with Endodontist Alawahdi. Diagnosis for
           root canal therapy on tooth #2 and tooth #4. (DX4@5-6). Performed
           root canal therapy on tooth #2. (PX6@5, 6, 20; PX16@16; RR V.3,
           P.146, LL.23-25).

12/22/2006 Sacks has appointment with Dentist DeJongh for second opinion,
           who recognizes need for root canal therapy on tooth #2 and tooth #4.
           (PX13, P.2, LL.11-20; DX9@10). DeJongh recognizes several
           failing restorations that must be addressed. Id. Recommends
           finishing root canal therapy initiated with tooth #2 and to initiate root
           canal therapy with tooth #4 with current endodontist or with
           DeJongh. Id.

12/27/2006 Sacks has appointment with Endodontist Alawahdi to finish root
           canal therapy on tooth #2. (PX16@8, 16).

01/18/2007 Sacks has root canal performed on tooth #4 with Dr. Alawahdi.
           PX16@16).

      After the root canals and crowns were done, the Orthoclear no longer fit and

would never fit again. (RR V.3, P.148, L.25 – P.149, L.7). (Impressions of aligners

taken prior to new crowns resulted in aligner trays not fitting over the new

crowns). (RR V.3, P.145; see DX1@21; see RR V.5, P.41, LL.4-9).

      Since the Orthoclear trays were of no use, a second treatment plan was

developed where braces would be used on the top teeth to solve the problem (since

the Orthoclear trays no longer fit after the root canals and crowns) Hall initially

agreed to re-do the upper orthodontic treatment with braces (a new treatment plan)

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                      Page 9
                                 01-14-00301-CV

at no additional charge. (RR V.3, P.154-155, L.7). Hall later decided he wanted to

be paid more money if he did any future treatment with Sacks. (RR V.4, P.18,

LL.3-13; DX10@91[Treatment]).

      Hall fitted the Orthoclear tray on infected teeth, roots and gums in need of

root canals and crowns without disclosing the infections to Sacks, causing her to

experience excruciating pain and rendering the tight-fitting tooth-moving trays

useless after the root canals and crowns were completed, as the crowns changed

the shape of Sacks’s teeth so that the trays did not fit over the crowns. (RR V.3,

PP.142-144) Ultimately, Sacks hired another orthodontist to create a second

treatment plan of braces on the top teeth instead of Orthoclear trays. (PX15@31,

35-36). Sacks paid the new dentist $5,200 for the orthodontic treatment. (Id.)

      Sacks did not just stop coming to see Dr. Hall as he suggests. The pain from

the teeth torqueing Orthoclear trays on infected teeth, roots and gums that Dr. Hall

failed to recognize and inform Sacks of (RR V.6, P.33, L.19 - P.37, L.1 [Dr.

DeJongh testimony]) caused her to address the health needs of her teeth. Sacks

underwent several months (October 2006 – January 2007) of root canal therapy

and crown work as reflected by the medical record with:

      1.) Dr. Salazar (PX12@16),

      2.) Dr. Alawahdi (DX4@5-6; PX6@5, 6, 20; PX16@16; RR V.3, P.146,
         LL.23-25), and

      3.) Dr. DeJongh (PX13, P.2, LL.11-20; DX9@10).

                                   01-14-00301-CV

II.   THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF PRESENTMENT
                              (Relates to Point of Error I)
        Contrary to Hall’s unsupported statements in his brief, he never made a

  demand for payment from Sacks. The reason is simple. The two year original

  treatment plan with the one year additional retention period using Orthoclear failed

  due to Hall’s failure to disclose severely infected teeth and gums to Sacks before

  creating tight-fitting trays that were worthless after Sacks obtained the necessary

  dental care before orthodontia was safe and appropriate. The pre-root canal

  therapy/pre-crown Orthoclear trays would not fit over the new crowns and were of

  no use after the root canals and new crowns. (RR V.3, P.145, P.148, L.25 – P.149,

  L.7; see DX1 at 4; see also RR V.5, P.41, LL.4-9).

        In any event, treating a patient for 6 months on a 24 month treatment plan

  with an additional 12 month retention period could not possibly entitle any

  professional to the upfront money paid by Sacks. So, Hall offered a partial refund.

        This partial refund, suggested by Hall, is reflected in his internal records

  (PX2) (Appendix 8) and correspondence to the Greater Houston Dental Society

  (DX10@93-94) (Appendix 10). Specifically:

           • Hall’s January 24, 2007, entry on his file (PX2) reflects that he
             owed and offered Sacks a $1,820 refund after he ceased being
             Sacks’s orthodontist. Hall discussed the refund with Dr.
             DeJongh on February 5, 2007. (PX2).

  APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                     Page 11
                                 01-14-00301-CV

         • Hall’s April 18, 2007, response letter to the Greater Houston
           Dental Society reflects that on January 24, 2007, he owed Sacks
           a refund and offered Sacks a refund of approximately 40% of
           the treatment fee Sacks paid in advance, prorated on the time,
           treatment, consultations, and expenses. This letter was written
           many months after Hall ceased being Sacks’s orthodontist,
           which he thereafter reduced to a zero balance. (DX10@93).

         • Hall’s April 18, 2007, response letter to the Greater Houston
           Dental Society also reflects that he owed Sacks a $650 refund.
           This letter was written many months after Hall ceased being
           Sacks’s orthodontist, after he had months to review his records,
           which he thereafter reduced to a zero balance by essentially
           paying himself exactly the amount he owed Sacks to avoid
           refunding her any amount. (DX10@93).

      Whether the refund should have been $650, $1,820, or more, the undeniable

fact remains that based on Hall’s records and Hall’s response letter to the GHDS,

Sacks was due a refund. Therefore, the fact that Hall testified under oath that he

did not request more money from Sacks should not come as a surprise: Hall owed

Sacks money, not the other way around. The jury verdict against Sacks is irrational

and reflects a complete disregard of the undisputed evidence or prejudice, or both.

      A. Consistent with Hall’s internal files, he testified at Trial that he never
         asked Sacks for money.
      During Trial, Hall was specifically asked if he ever demanded money or

payment from Sacks. His answer was “no”.

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] In this case, Ms. Pollard, did you ever send
         her a collection letter?
      A. [By Dr. Hall] We never did.
      Q. Did you ever call her up and ask her to pay?

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                     Page 12
                                 01-14-00301-CV

      A. Not to my knowledge.

(RR V.5, P.75, LL 9-23).

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] You never sent her a collection letter?
      A. [By Dr. Hall] We never asked her for the money or sent her a
         collection letter.

(RR V.5, P.106, LL.2-4).

      Hall’s uncontested testimony on this subject is consistent with his internal

records reflecting that he owed Sacks a refund (whether it be 40%, $1,820, $650,

more or less). This explains why Hall in no way ever presented a claim for any

amount supposedly owing from Sacks to Hall: people do not demand money from

people to whom they owe money. (PX2 [January 24, 2007, entry and February 5,

2007, entry]; DX10@93-94).

      In Hall’s brief, he incorrectly suggests that in January 2007, Hall “began

attempting to obtain payment from Sacks….” (Hall’s Brief at 21). Hall has no

record cite to support this position and none exists. Hall’s testimony above is clear

on the subject, specifying that he never asked Sacks for money.

   B. Sacks testified that no one at Hall’s office ever demanded or requested
      money from her after she prepaid Hall $4,775 for a 36 month treatment
      plan that failed after only a few months.
      Sacks’s testimony was clear, consistent, and undisputed at Trial.

      Q: [By Mr. Travis] Have you ever been asked to pay more than
         $5,996.25 to Dr. Hall?
      A: [By Sacks] No. I was never asked to pay more than $4775, ever.

(RR V.4, P.68, LL 16-19).

      Q: Did anybody say there was any problem with the billing or that
         you owed more money on July 12, 2006?
      A: No.
      Q: What about your next visit on August 2, 2006?
      A: No one said anything about supposedly owing money ever.

(RR V.3, P.139, LL 14-19).

      Q. As of January 9, 2007, nobody had ever said,
         "Oh, by the way, you owe us money," Dr. Hall's office?
      A. No.

(RR V.3, P.153, LL 4-6).
      Q. Did Glenda Johnson or Dr. Hall or anybody from
         that office ever say, "You now have to pay us $1,220"?
      A. No, no one has ever said that.

(RR V.4, P.15, L.24 – P.16, L.1).

      Q. [By Mr. Travis] You said you never saw the bill until you saw
         this lawsuit?
      A. [By Sacks] I never got a bill.
      Q. You never got a bill.
      A. I was never presented with a bill.

(RR V.4, P.124, LL.14-18).

      Sacks’s testimony concerning never having been asked to pay any amount of

money more than the amount she had prepaid Hall ($4775) under the June 6, 2006,

contract for the original treatment plan of lower braces and upper Orthoclear was

consistent and undisputed at trial.

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                  Page 14
                                01-14-00301-CV

      Hall points to testimony questioning Sacks as to why Sacks transferred her

treatment to another orthodontist. Sacks testified that she was transferring her

treatment to another orthodontist because Hall told her that he wanted more money

for the new, second treatment plan proposed by Hall, which included braces

instead of Orthoclear on her top teeth. (RR V.3, P.143–P.155, L.7; see

DX10@A91) No contract was signed on this second proposed treatment plan, and

it never materialized, because Sacks balked at paying Hall more money for a new,

second treatment plan that was necessitated by his original botched plan,

particularly since his botched plan caused her such excruciating pain that could

have been avoided had Hall disclosed her infections before wrongfully starting

Orthoclear tray orthodontia on severely infected teeth. (RR V.3, P.143-P.155, L.7).

Specifically, the testimony:

      Q. On January 24th, 2007, was there a phone conversation or telephone
         conference with you by anybody from Dr. Hall's office?
      A. I spoke to Dr. Hall on a date around that time. I don't remember the
         date; but, yes, we had a conversation right around that time. So, it
         must be the right date.
      Q. Was he offering or requesting you to transfer your treatment to
         somebody else?
      A. He refused to treat me any longer, unless I paid him more money.
         ...
      Q. Help me understand. This entry in Dr. Hall’s records, Defendant’s
         Exhibit 1, “Patient refused the offer to transfer for TX” which means
         treatment. Did he offer to let you transfer to somebody else?
      A. He said he wasn’t going to treat me any longer, unless I paid him
         more money.

(R.R. V.4, P.18, LL.3-13; P.18, L.21 – P.19, L.1) (Emphasis added).

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                    Page 15
                                 01-14-00301-CV

      These sentences are almost identical, and in both, Hall asks for more money

to CONTINUE treatment under a newly-proposed second treatment plan (putting

new braces on Sacks’s top teeth in lieu of Orthoclear) UNLESS Sacks paid him

more money. By the plain meaning of this testimony, Sacks could walk away OR

pay Hall more money for future treatment under Hall’s new proposed second

treatment plan. Sacks rejected Hall’s new, second treatment plan and transferred

her case. (PX2 [January 24, 2007, January 26, 2007, and February 5, 2007,

entries]; DX1@84; DX10@A91-92). The testimony misconstrued by Hall refers to

an option for Sacks either to pay more for Hall’s new, second treatment plan, or to

transfer her case to another dentist. Under the plain meaning of this testimony,

Sacks was given the option of walking away and foregoing additional treatment

from Hall pursuant to the new, second proposed treatment plan. This is a far cry

from a demand for payment for incomplete services pursuant to Hall’s original,

botched treatment plan, which was rendered useless due his failure to disclose the

infections. Indeed, after Sacks rejected Hall’s new, second treatment plan, the

parties’ discussion turned to what amount Hall owed Sacks on the incomplete

original contract. (PX2 [January 24, 2007, January 26, 2007, and February 5, 2007,

entries]; RR V.5, P.31, LL 19-21; DX10@92-93).

      More importantly, this entire line of questioning explained why Sacks

transferred her treatment to another orthodontist after Hall refused to adhere to his

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                     Page 16
                                01-14-00301-CV

prior agreement to re-do his incompetent original treatment plan at no additional

costs to Sacks. (RR V.3, PP.143-155, L.7; DX10@A91). After Hall agreed to start

a new, second treatment plan because his first plan failed, Hall audaciously asked

for additional money to re-do his botched work under the proposed new, second

treatment plan, and Sacks said no and hired another dentist to do the second

treatment plan (and paid him $5,200) (PX15@31, 35-36), so the parties went their

separate ways. Sacks sought a refund, and Hall admitted that he owed a refund on

multiple occasions thereafter. (PX2 [January 24, 2007, entry]; DX10@93-94).

      The questioning regarding transferring Sacks’s treatment that Hall points to

focused on January 24, 2007, the date the parties discussed the proper refund

amount due to Sacks after Sacks rejected Hall’s proposed second plan and instead

transferred her case. This is the date the parties talked and discussed the

appropriate refund to Sacks because Hall’s original treatment plan failed early on

and never even came close to completion. Hall offered $1,820 according to his

hand written notes on Sacks’s chart (PX2 [January 24, 2007, entry]) (Appendix 8)

and thereafter discussed Sacks’s transfer options and the refund Hall proposed to

Sacks with Dr. DeJongh according to Hall’s hand written notes. (PX2 [February 5,

2007, entry]) (Appendix 8).

      Additionally, when responding to a complaint filed by Sacks with the

Greater Houston Dental Society (“GHDS”), after reviewing his records carefully,

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                   Page 17
                                 01-14-00301-CV

Hall represented to the GHDS that on January 24, 2007, he offered Sacks a refund.

(DX10@93-94) (Appendix 10). He stated that the refund due on January 24, 2007,

was $650. (DX10@93) (Appendix 10).

      Whether Hall was refunding $1,850 or $650, the undisputed evidence

conclusively shows that the discussion on January 24, 2007, turned to the proper

refund amount due Sacks after Sacks rejected Hall’s proposed new, second

treatment plan (for which there never was a contract). (PX2 [January 24, 2007,

January 26, 2007, and February 5, 2007, entries][Appendix 8]; DX10@A90-93

[Appendix 10]).

      No matter how Hall tries to mischaracterize Sacks’s testimony, the evidence

is clear. No one asked Sacks for money for services under Hall’s original treatment

plan (the failed plan contemplated by the only financial contract ever executed) on

January 24, 2007, or at any other time.

   C. Hall’s second of three internal ledgers (generated 3/20/2007 at 3:35PM)
      pertaining to a $1,220 contract never entered into by the parties cannot
      be considered presentment of a claim, especially with Hall’s April 18,
      2007, response to the complaint with GHDS admitting that a refund was
      owed to Sacks (DX10@A93) and Hall’s subsequent internal ledger
      reflecting a zero balance on the Sacks/Hall contract. (DX1@74).
      Hall suggests that a portion of one of his three internal ledgers is somehow a

demand for payment to Sacks. The three internal ledgers are attached as Appendix

11 for convenient reference. (DX1@68, 69, 74). (Appendix 11). The ledgers are

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                    Page 18
                                     01-14-00301-CV

dated 3/20/2007 at 3:33PM (DX1@68); 3/20/2007 at 3:35PM (DX1@69), and

6/18/2007 at 3:38PM (DX1@74). The last of the three ledgers reflects a zero

balance. It is significant to note that the March 20, 2007, ledgers were generated

the day after Sacks’s records were picked up from Hall at her attorney’s request.

(DX1@80-81, 83).

           1. Hall’s second internal ledger [generated on 3/20/07 at
              3:35PM] pertains to a $1,220 contract never entered into by
              the parties.

       Hall’s second internal ledger (the 3/20/2007 at 3:35PM internal ledger)

(DX1@69) (Appendix 11) specifies that it is contract #6372 with an original

contract amount of $1,220 (DX1@69) with a balance due of $459. However, it is

undisputed that the parties never entered into a contract with an original

contract amount of $1,220. Receiving an internal ledger in a mass document

production that references a contract Hall and Sacks did not have cannot be

presentment of a claim under Chapter 38. It is uncontested that Sacks and Hall only

had one contract, which was contract #6330, set forth on both other ledgers

reflecting a zero balance. (DX1@68 and 74) (Appendix 11). The ledger2 reflecting

“contract #6372” with an original contract amount of $1,220 appears to be Hall’s

attempt to comply with the condition precedent of his own financial contract

requiring a new, second contract between the parties if insurance did not pay

2Created the day after Sacks’s files were retrieved from Hall at her lawyer’s request. (DX1@80-
81, 83).

                                  01-14-00301-CV

assigned benefits. However, it is also undisputed that the parties never entered into

a second contract of any kind, and Sacks cannot be liable on a second contract that

she never agreed to and never executed. (PX1; RR V.5, P.31, LL.19-21). (See infra

Section 5).

      Hall’s first internal ledger (3/20/2007 at 3:33PM) (DX1@68) (Appendix 11)

and third internal ledger (6/18/2007 at 3:38PM) (DX1@74) (Appendix 11) refer to

“contract 6330” and both reflect a zero balance on the parties’ (the only contract

Sacks signed) only executed contract. It is undisputed that the parties never entered

into a second contract in the amount of $1,220 or any other amount. (RR V.5, P.31,

LL.19-21). The ledger Hall relies upon in his brief is of no assistance to him, as it

is exclusively related to a $1,220 contract that the parties never had. It is certainly

not in evidence, and Sacks has never even seen a draft of a contract in the original

amount of $1,220.

          2. Hall’s April 18, 2007, response to the complaint with GHDS
             admits that a refund was owed to Sacks.

      Sacks filed a complaint against Hall with the GHDS after their doctor/patient

relationship terminated. (See DX10@90). Hall responded to Sacks’s complaint in

writing on April 18, 2007. (DX10@90-93) (Appendix 10).

      The zero balance found on Hall’s most recent internal ledger dated

6/18/2007 (DX1@74) is consistent with Dr. Hall’s April 18, 2007, written

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                       Page 20
                                 01-14-00301-CV

response to Sacks’s complaint that was filed with the GHDS (DX10@A90-93) that

states Professor Sacks had a $0.00 balance.

      Hall’s response to Sacks’s GHDS complaint admits that he did not come

close to performing the work Sacks paid for, and also admits that Hall owed Deana

Pollard Sacks a refund. Specifically, Hall wrote:

      In a phone call January 24, 2007 I offered Deana Pollard [Sacks] a
      refund of approximately 40% of the treatment fee [paid in advance
      by Sacks], pro-rated on the time, treatment, consultations and
      expenses.

(DX10@A92). (Appendix 10). (Emphasis added). On the next page of the

letter, Hall specified that he offered Sacks a refund of $650 as of the time he

stopped treating her, but then he unilaterally offset the $650 he claimed he

owed Professor Sacks for two telephone conversations and mailing Sacks’s

dental file to Sacks, Hall’s way of avoiding the refund he owed Sacks.

(DX10@A93). (Appendix 10). At the end of Hall’s complaint response

letter to the GHDS, Hall made clear that there was a zero (0) balance

between Hall and Sacks. (DX10@93) (Appendix 10).

      Hall’s clear letter of April 18, 2007, reflecting a zero balance was

subsequent in time to the 3/20/2007 at 3:35PM internal ledger reflecting an

original contract amount of $1,220. This phantom contract (if one was ever drafted

by Hall) in the original amount of $1,220 is not in evidence and has never been

seen by Sacks. But even if the obvious is ignored and Hall’s second internal ledger

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                      Page 21
                                   01-14-00301-CV

is considered to have any meaning to Sacks, she is entitled to rely upon a clear

letter penned by Hall stating there is no money due a month after the second of the

three ledgers was created on 3/20/2007 at 3:35PM. In sum, Hall’s ultimate, most

recent conclusion was that no money was due to either party. (DX10@93;

DX1@74).

      Additionally, even if Hall made a claim for payment under the original,

botched treatment plan (and there is NO evidence to support this), Sacks would be

entitled to rely on Hall’s later statements that either Hall owed Sacks money or

there was a zero balance on Sacks’s account. In his April 18, 2007, letter to the

Greater Houston Dental Society, Hall specified that as of January 24, 2007, he

owed Sacks a refund, and as of April 18, 2007, there was a zero balance between

the parties. (DX10@92-93) (Appendix 10). Hall’s repeated admissions that Sacks

owed him nothing, after he had months to review his records, render his absurd

contract claim no more than a strategic attempt to punish Sacks for pursuing the

refund he admitted to owing her.

         3. Hall’s June 18, 2007, internal ledger regarding Sacks
            contract reflects a zero balance.

      Hall’s June 18, 2007, internal ledger regarding Sacks reflects that Sacks has

a zero balance with Hall. (DX1@74). This is the last internal ledger created by

Hall. Sacks should also be able to rely upon the zero balance reflected in this

document. This ledger is later in time than the 3/20/2007 at 3:35PM ledger that on

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                    Page 22
                                01-14-00301-CV

its face applies to a contract in the original amount of $1,220, which Sacks is a

stranger to. Hall’s argument regarding the second ledger makes no sense and

should be disregarded.

      Presentment of a claim is not supposed to be guess work for the person

trying to evaluate the claim pursuant to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §

38.002. Hall failed to present a claim to Sacks at any time in any amount because

he knew he owed Sacks a refund. (PX2; DX10@92-93). The Texas Legislature

requires presentment of a claim before attorney fees can be assessed to meet due

process demands. Not only did Hall fail to present a claim to Sacks, his admissions

of owing her money made her secure in the fact that he could not legitimately be

awarded attorney’s fees. Sacks’s due process rights would be horribly violated if

an attorney fees award were allowed to stand under the facts of this case.

Admitting to a person that you owe her money, then creating a ledger reflecting an

amount owing on a new contract that was never signed, then admitting to a

regulatory board that you owed her money but that now no money was owed to

either party cannot possibly meet the due process notice requirements specified in

Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 38.002. Sacks was never on notice that Hall

could get a fee award which renders the fee award a due process violation even if

Sacks had owed Hall money, and the record is abundantly clear that she did not

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                    Page 23
                                    01-14-00301-CV

   owe him a dime, never was presented with a bill or claim, and – to the contrary –

   was expecting a refund.

III.   HALL’S REFUSAL TO SEGREGATE RECOVERABLE FROM
       UNRECOVERABLE ATTORNEY FEES REQUIRES REVERSAL

                               (Relates to Point of Error II)
         Hall claims that he was unable to segregate recoverable from unrecoverable

   fees. Not one hour. Not one minute. Not one dollar of expenses.

         Sacks’s original brief discussed all the defensive claims Hall was addressing

   where attorney fees were not recoverable (Appellant Brief 53-56). Sacks also

   addressed Hall’s claims against third parties such as Aetna and Employers

   Retirement System of Texas that Hall voluntarily dismissed. (SCR 31-38 [Hall’s

   petition against Aetna and ERS]; 39-41 [Aetna’s Answer]; 42-44 [ERS Plea to the

   jurisdiction]; CR 155-57 [nonsuit of ERS]; 190-91 [nonsuit of Aetna]).

         Attorney fees for services and fees associated with claims against third

   parties should have been segregated and Hall refused to do so.

         When reviewing the 56 pages of attorney fee bills, one can only come to the

   conclusion that virtually all the time reflected therein was in defense of negligence

   and D.T.P.A. claims against Hall. (DX18). (Appendix 12). A non-exclusive list of

   some of the attorney fees and expenses reflected in their bills that should have been

   segregated from Hall’s contract claim:

   APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                     Page 24
                                  01-14-00301-CV

      1.) Hall’s objection to Plaintiff’s expert witness report and motion to dismiss
          negligence case. (DX18@8, 26);

      2.) Hall’s motion for summary judgment on DTPA claim. (DX18@1, 3, 4, 5,
          7, 8, 10, 11, and 26);

      3.) Hall’s no evidence motion for summary judgment on tort claims.
         (DX18@21, 26, 29, 30, 31, and 32);

      4.) Hall’s research on DTPA, negligence and negligence misrepresentation.
          (DX18@2, 4, 7, 26);

      5.) Hall’s defense of Sacks’s motion to seal her medical records after Hall
          filed Sacks’s medical records in the public records. (DX18@44); and

      6.) Virtually every page of the bills contains entries associated with dealing
          with various doctors in defense of the medical negligence case. (See
          DX18@4-54).

      For sure, some time was devoted to the one page contract (PX2) but when

reviewing the bills, there is description after description addressing motions for

summary judgment or motion to dismiss the negligence claim and/or DTPA claim,

which were all denied. There are also hours upon hours devoted to doctors in

defense of the medical malpractice claim. (DX18).

      Even a cursory review of DX18 (Appendix 12) establishes that segregating

recoverable from unrecoverable claims could have been done and should have

been done. Hall’s failure to do so is an additional reason for a reversal in this case.

IV.    IT IS UNCONTESTED THAT HALL DID NOT PERFORM 100% OF
       THE SERVICES AGREED TO UNDER THE PARTIES’ ONLY
       CONTRACT; THEREFORE THE $1,220 AWARD IS UNSUPPORTED
       BY THE EVIDENCE AND MUST BE REVERSED.

                            (Relates to Point of Error III, IV, & V)
           Hall is unable to respond to the undeniable fact that there is no evidence to

  support a damage award of $1,220 found in question number 10, as Hall did not

  perform all the services contemplated in the Parties’ three year contract, and put on

  no evidence of damages (because not only did he sustain no damages, but he got a

  windfall from Sacks’s prepayment of $4,775).

           Hall’s brief tries to embellish Hall’s testimony. For example, Hall’s brief

  states that Hall performed an “overwhelming majority” of the 36 month

  orthodontic treatment plan in just 6 months. (Hall’s Response at 31). Of course,

  nowhere does Hall testify that he performed an “overwhelming majority” 3 of the

  orthodontia services and no such cite is found in his brief.

           Hall’s records do reflect that he believes he performed 60% of the

  orthodontia services and owed Sacks a 40% refund. (DX10@92). That is not

  100%.

           Sacks’s original brief carefully addresses this issue on pages 57-63. Hall’s

  response does not seriously dispute the analysis. But briefly, the undisputed

  testimony is that Hall performed only a fraction of the contract (6 months

  3   Even an overwhelming majority is not 100%.

  APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                       Page 26
                                 01-14-00301-CV

performed on the original 24 month treatment plan (PX4) and zero months on the

additional 12 month retention period). (RR V.4, PP.158-59 [Hall]; V.5, PP.67-68;

PX2 [Hall]; PX4; DX10@A90-93). Additionally, there are Hall’s written

admissions about the value of the services he rendered per visit to Sacks ($225 per

visit according to Hall’s written statement to the Greater Houston Dental Society

(DX10@A92-93) or $135 per visit according to the insurance claims Hall sent to

Aetna (DX10@80-88)). Hall freely admitted at Trial that he did not treat Sacks for

at least 18 of the prepaid monthly visits and treated her for none of the 12 month

retention period. (RR V.5, P.67, L.18 – P.68, L.2). The contract states the value of

the full 36 month contract was $5,995. (PX2). The contract also reflects that Sacks

paid in advance $4,775. (PX2). Since Hall treated Sacks for less than six months

out of the twenty-four month treatment plan and zero months out of the additional

twelve month retention plan, it cannot be argued that Hall fully performed. There is

no evidence or at least insufficient evidence to support the award from question

number 10, and it must be set aside.

      Hall testified that he was “only asking for the $1,220 that the insurance

didn’t pay…” (RR V.5, P.105, LL.20-21), and the jury awarded Hall the amount of

the estimated insurance benefits assigned but unpaid by Aetna - $1220. (CR243;

PX2). However, that would not be the appropriate measure of damages and in fact

was not the question asked by the Court to the jury in question number 10.

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                    Page 27
                                    01-14-00301-CV

 (CR243). Based on the evidence in the record concerning the value of Hall’s

 services rendered and not rendered and the amount Sacks pre-paid, reasonable

 minds cannot differ that Hall did not perform 100% of the orthodontic services

 agreed to as found in the jury’s answer to question 10. (CR 243) (Appendix 2).

          The damage award must be set aside along with its associated contract

 claim.

V.   ON THE FACE OF THE FORM CONTRACT DRAFTED BY HALL,
     THE INSURANCE BENEFITS ESTIMATED BY HALL WERE
     ASSIGNED BUT NOT RECEIVED, NECESSITATING A NEW
     (SECOND) CONTRACT BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO DEAL WITH
     ASSIGNED, UNPAID INSURANCE BENEFITS, AND NO NEW
     CONTRACT WAS EVER CREATED OR SIGNED BY THE PARTIES.

                               (Relates to Point of Error VI)
          Hall suggests that since he did not receive payments directly from the

 insurance company, he was not assigned benefits. (Hall brief at 34). The

 assignment of benefits and the actual receipt of payment are not the same thing.

 We would suggest that this is the precise reason Hall’s attorneys put in his contract

 that in the event actual payment is not received by Hall from the patient’s

 insurance company, “a new contract will need to be signed for the remaining

 account balance”. (PX1) (Appendix 7).

          On the face of Hall form contract, the insurance benefits Hall estimated were

 assigned to Hall. (PX1) (Appendix 7). This scenario is specifically envisioned by

 Hall’s Financial Contract, which requires a new, second contract to be signed to

 APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                       Page 28
                                 01-14-00301-CV

deal with assigned, unpaid insurance benefits, but it is undisputed that no new,

second contract was signed, and instead the parties parted ways.

      Had there not been all the problems resulting from Hall placing the teeth

torqueing Orthoclear trays on infected roots and gums, and had the original

treatment plan been fully performed, presumptively, Hall and Sacks would have

entered into a second contract in the event no funds came from the assignment.

However, that did not happen.

      Hall performed 6 months out of a 24 month treatment plan with an

additional 12 month retention period. Sacks went forward with the new (second)

treatment plan with braces on upper and lower teeth with a new dentist and paid

$5,200 to do so. (PX15@31, 35-36). Hall owed a refund. (PX2, DX10@A92-93).

The only question was the amount. Was it a $650, $1,820, or larger refund for at

least the services prepaid and not provided? Of course, no new contract was

prepared or signed in this case. (RR V.5, P.31, LL.19-21). There was nothing due

to Hall.

      It cannot be seriously challenged that Hall had an assignment. Not only was

the assignment on the face of Hall’s form contract (PX1) (Appendix 7), Hall made

many claims to Aetna, Sacks’s dental insurance provider. (DX10@80-88)

(Appendix 9). In fact, on the claims submitted to Aetna by Hall, he represented

that Sacks had “authorized payment directly to the below named dentist [Dr.

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                  Page 29
                                 01-14-00301-CV

Hall] of the group insurance benefits otherwise payable to me [Sacks]”.

(DX10@A80, 82, 84, 86, 88 [in the middle of the claim where it says “signature on

file”]) (Appendix 9). The claim forms are signed by Dr. Hall. Surely, Hall would

not submit insurance claims “certifying” that Sacks’s benefits had been assigned to

him if they had not. (Id.)

      Hall’s form Financial Contract, drafted by Hall, specified that “IF” insurance

does not pay, a new, second contract will be executed by the parties. It is

undisputed that no new, second contract was ever executed. (RR V.5, P.31; RR

V.4, P.16, L.147). The word “if” usually connotes intent for a condition precedent.

Hohenberg Bros. Co. v. George E. Gibbons & Co., 537 S.W.2d 1, 3 (Tex. 1976);

Amir v. International Bank of Commerce, 419 S.W.3d 687, 691-92 (Tex. App. -

Houston [1st Dist.] 2013, no pet.). Since the condition precedent did not occur,

Sacks can have no liability on the contract before the Court pertaining to amounts

unpaid by insurance. See id. To the extent that there is ambiguity or internal

inconsistency in Hall’s contract, it is to be construed against Hall because Hall

drafted the contract. Gonzalez v. Mission American Ins. Co., 795 S.W.2d 734, 737

(Tex. 1990). And, specific contract terms override more general contract terms, so

that Hall’s specific provision requiring a new, second contract between the parties

in the event of assigned but unpaid insurance benefits controls because this is what

APPELLANT’S REPLY TO BRIEF OF APPELLEES                                    Page 30
                                 01-14-00301-CV

happened in this case. Forbau v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 876 S.W.2d 132,133-34

(Tex. 1994).

      Since there is a failure of a condition precedent, pertaining to the failure of

an insurance company to pay for any reason (no second contract was ever drafted

or signed by the parties), that provision regarding unpaid amounts of insurance

benefits is unenforceable. This is an additional reason the contract award must be

reversed and a take nothing judgment rendered. Of course, if the contract claim is

reversed, the associated attorney fee award cannot be maintained. Ashford Partners

v. Eco Resources Inc., 401 S.W.3d 35, 40-41 (Tex. 2012).

                                 CONCLUSION

      The judgment for attorney fees against Sacks pursuant to Section 38.002

must be reversed because the conditions precedent to obtaining fees under Section

38.002 were never met (Hall neither pled nor proved that a claim in any amount

was ever presented to Sacks). The attorney fee award should also be reversed

because Hall failed to segregate fees for his recoverable from unrecoverable

claims. Additionally, the judgment for $1220 for breach of contract must be

reversed and a take nothing judgment rendered because the evidence does not

support the damage award in Question 10 and the condition precedent (a second

contract) to bringing a claim pertaining to the failure of an insurance company to

make payment has not been satisfied.
