                    STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT

                                Mr. Perez waives Oral Argument .

                                   STATEMENT OF FACTS

           Mr. Perez has a right to be gainfully employed as a physician Assistant

       since September 22nd, 19941. On April 17th, 2014 Mr. Perez’ Supervising

       Physician , Rafael J. de la Flor-Weiss, MD, informed Mr. Perez that agents

       acting under the direction of the defendants informed Doctor dela Flor-

       Weiss that Mr. Perez’ license had been revoked and directed him to escort

       Mr. Perez away from the clinic2. The Defendants have never found that

       abridgement of his right to be gainfully employed as a physician assistant

       was necessary for the preservation of the health, safety, and welfare of the

       public3. The Defendants have informed Mr. Perez that he was deprived of

       his right to earn a living because he failed to participate in an administrative

       proceeding 4.

             On April 17th, 2014 Mr. Perez was deprived of all economical beneficial

         use of his property. Mr. Perez right to work as a physician assistant was

         seized by the defendants on April 17th, 20145.

             Mr. Perez has never signed any document nor agreed in any way , fashion

         or form to waive any federal, state or common law right. Specifically he has

         not (a) waived his state right to jury trial at a district court ; (b) waived the

         Fourteenth Amendment right to the preponderance of evidence standard of

         proof © waived his Fourth Amendment rights; (d) waived his right to

         confront and cross examine adverse witness; (e) waived his rights pursuant

         to Texas Constitution Article XVI, Section 31, (f) waived his right to object

         to ex post facto laws; (g) waived his right to decide when and with whom he

         would enter into a patient-physician assistant relationship ; (h) waived his

         rights pursuant to the common law respondeat superior doctrine6.

2015. Mr. Perez has designated the November 14th, 2014 set of documents as

Vol 1 of 2, and the February 13th, 2015 document as Vol 2 of 2.

                   SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

   (a) The trial court was required to give effect to the intent of the 1876

      voters.

   (b) The trial court was supposed to abide by Supreme Court precedents;

   (c) Defendants waived sovereign immunity pursuant to Article I, Section

      17 of the Texas Constitution and pursuant to US Constitution Fourth,

      Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments; it also waived immunity pursuant

      to Section 2001.038 of the Administrative Procedures Act.

   (d) Failure to sue an essential party is a non-jurisdictional defect within

      the meaning of government code 2001.176 and Rule 39, TRCP;

   (e) A federal and state “takings” or seizure of property proceeding

      applies to all species of property without exceptions or limitations;

   (f) Mr. Perez has a vested common law right to work as a physician

      assistant;

   (g) A medical license within the meaning of Texas Constitutional law

      merely means that the licensee has demonstrated that he graduated

      from an accredited University.

                                    20
(h) The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that when a party has received

   the degree of “Doctor of Medicine” from an established and well-

   accredited college, no matter where he go throughout the state or

   whatever may have been its date , he is not required to produce any

   other evidence of his qualification. So when he has been examined

   by an authorized Board of Medical examiners and has received a

   certificate of qualification, he is not required to undergo a

   subsequent examination, nor furnish at any time any other

   additional prove of his qualifications.”

(i) The government cannot force Mr. Perez to waive his Constitutional

   rights in order to work as a physician assistant;

(j) At common law a medical license could only be revoked by the

   district court , for cause , in a jury trial, pursuant to the

   preponderance of evidence standard;

(k) The trial court ought to have given Mr. Perez leave to amend the

   complaint to sue Defendant Marie Robinson in her individual capacity

   within the meaning of 42 USC 1983;

(l) The trial court transgressed upon Mr. Perez’ right to adequate,

   effective and meaningful access to courts of general jurisdiction;

                                 21
(m)      The trial court erred in dismissing Mr. Perez’ ultra vires claim

   against Defendant Mari Robinson, JD , in her official capacity;

(n) The trial court erred in not adjudicating whether Mr. Perez’ property

   has been taken and/or seized within the meaning of the US

   Constitution Fourth and Fifth Amendments;

(o) The trial court erred in admitting into evidence Defendant Exhibit “A”

   because , inter alia, the Physician Assistant Board (PAB) has no

   authority to revoke Mr. Perez’ right to work as a physician assistant

   on a “default basis “ and its failure to disclose underlying facts

   constitutes reversible error.

(p) The trial court erred in admitting into evidence Defendants’ exhibit

   “B” through “H”;

(q) Mr. Perez respectfully submits that, as to federal claims, he can

   amend defective allegations of jurisdiction in the appellate courts

   pursuant to 28 USC § 1653.

(r) Mr. Perez respectfully submits that he can amend defective allegations

   of jurisdiction in the appellate courts pursuant to Tex. Const. art. I, §

   13.The open courts provision of the Texas Constitution provides: "All

   courts shall be open and every person for an injury done him, in his

   lands, goods, person or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of

                                   22
              law." Tex. Const. art. I, § 13. This requirement "guarantees that a

              common law remedy will not be unreasonably abridged.

          (s) Mr. Perez respectfully submits that, as to all claims, he can amend

              defective allegations of jurisdiction in the appellate courts pursuant to

              The Due Process Clauses of the Texas Constitution and the Fourteenth

              Amendment to the United States Constitution. In Texas an

              adjudication in the merits is preferred.

          (t) Mr. Perez respectfully submits that he can amend defective allegations

              of jurisdiction in the appellate courts pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.7

              and 2.

                                  STANDARD OF REVIEW

          Sovereign immunity from suit defeats a trial court’s subject matter

       jurisdiction and thus is properly asserted in a plea to the jurisdiction7.

       Whether Mr. Perez has alleged facts that demonstrate subject matter

       jurisdiction is a question of law8. Accordingly, the Appellate Court reviews

       the district court’s order granting Defendants’ pleas to the jurisdiction de

       novo9.

          In asserting a plea to the jurisdiction a party contends that an incurable

       defect precludes the court’s hearing the case on the merits, even if all

       allegations in the pleadings are true10. Thus, the court does not look to the

       merits of the Plaintiff’s case in conducting its review, but considers only the

       Plaintiff’s pleadings and any evidence submitted by the parties that is

       pertinent to the jurisdictional inquiry11. It construes the pleadings liberally in

       favor of conferring jurisdiction and looks to the pleader’s intent12 .

                                         ARGUMENT

                                                  I

     THE TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD IS THE REAL PARTY IN INTEREST

             The Defendants claim that Mr. Perez failed to sue the Physician

         Assistant Board (PAB) which is , allegedly, the Agency which issued the

         Order to revoke his license13. That assertion is meritless14.

             The Texas Medical Board is the agency which filed the Complaint in the

         State office of Administrative Hearings15.

            The Texas Medical Board has admitted to having the responsibility to

         regulate physician assistants and the PAB. In their publication, known as

         “Texas Medical Board Agency Strategic Plan - Fiscal Years 2009-201316

         they state on page 8 paragraph 1 that :

         “Although the Texas Medical Board’s name and identity are based in the
         regulation of physicians, the agency regulates multiple licenses related to
         health care. Major responsibilities include the Physician Assistant
         Board…” (emphasis added)

            They go on to state on paragraph 3 that :

         “The Texas Medical Board’s statutory responsibilities and authority are
         based in 18 chapters of the Occupations Code. The Medical Practice Act,
         which governs the regulation of the practice of medicine, includes …..The
         Physician Assistant Licensing Act is Chapter 204,. “(emphasis added)

            The defendants continue to state on page 8 , paragraph 2 that:

         “ TMB currently regulates over 59,000 physicians, 4,215 physician
         assistants, ….“(emphasis added)

             Consequently, for the reasons stated hereinabove Mr. Perez decision

         to sue the Texas Medical Board instead of the Physician Assistant Board

         (PAB) was completely and totally proper.

            Moreover, the PAB is merely is an advisory Board to the Texas State

         Board of Medical Examiners17. The PAB is a subdivision or bureau of the

          listed there.

             The trial courts are required to determine who the real parties in

          interest are20. A party is a real party in interest when it is "directly and

          personally concerned in the outcome of the litigation to the extent that his

          participation therein will insure 'a genuine adversary issue between the

          parties21 . The defendants have not, and cannot, present any evidence

          showing that the Texas Medical Board is not the real party in interest.

          administrative actions by an original action in district court on the basis

          that such actions unconstitutionally deprive the plaintiff of a vested

          property right is a right to judicial review distinctly different from the

          right to judicial review given by a statute24. A vested right is a property or

          legal right, which the Constitution protects like any other property25.

     The following vested property rights are being adversely affected26:

          . The physician assistant profession existed at common law27. At

          common law Texans had the right to earn a living practicing medicine

          subject only to medical malpractice litigation28. At common law physician

          assistants had a right to have the Constitution applied as originally

          intended by the voters29 . Specifically at common law, Constitutional

          provisos could only be amended pursuant to Constitutional Amendment30.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled therein :

“When a party has received the degree of “Doctor of Medicine” from an established and well-
accredited college, no matter where he go throughout the state or whatever may have been its
date , he is not required to produce any other evidence of his qualification. So when he has been
examined by an authorized Board of Medical examiners and has received a certificate of
qualification33, he is not required to undergo a subsequent examination, nor furnish at any
time any other additional prove of his qualifications.”

indictment because Article XVI, Section 31 had not yet gone into effect.

             Ex post facto laws were null and void36.Trials were de novo, just as if

          the administrative proceeding had not occurred37. Physician assistants had

          a right to have a neutral magistrate determine if there was probable

          cause38. The State Office Of Administrative Hearing failed or refused to

          find probable cause39. The burden of proof in sustaining the order was

          then upon the administrative agency40. Questions of fact were then

          resolved in a district court by the jury pursuant to the preponderance of

          the evidence standard of proof41. Appeals automatically set aside the

          administrative Order and the practitioner could continue practicing

          medicine42 until the district court affirmed the judgment of the

          administrative agency43.

              The Federal49 and the Texas50 Constitutions protect vested rights. The

          Fourteenth Amendment, §1 provides, among other things, that a State

          may not abridge "the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United

          States" or deprive "any person of life, liberty, or property, without due

          process of law."51

              Since the right of the citizen to use his property as he chooses so long

          as he harms nobody, is an inherent and constitutional right, the police

          power cannot be invoked for the abridgment of a particular use of private

          property, unless such use reasonably endangers or threatens the public

          health, the public safety, the public comfort or welfare52. A law which

         Perez committed medical malpractice.

             The March 7th, 2014 ruling is not a “contested case” because at common

         law, only the district courts could revoke the right to practice a medical

         profession pursuant to the Medical Practice Act63 .

             The March 7th, 2014 ruling is not a “contested case” because it does not

         include the mandatory “concise and explicit statement of the underlying

         facts supporting the findings”64. The Defendants failure or refusal to

         disclose the underlying facts constitute reversible error. 65

                The March 7th, 2014 ruling is not a “contested case” because at

         common law the supervising physician was legally responsible for the

         medical acts delegated to physician assistant. In 1983, the Fifth Circuit

         ruled that :

             “a person licensed to practice medicine shall have the authority to
         delegate to any qualified and properly trained person or persons acting
         under the physician's supervision any medical act which a reasonable and
             prudent physician would find is within the scope of sound medical
         judgment to delegate if, in the opinion of the delegating physician, the act
          can be properly and safely performed by the person to whom the medical
          act is delegated and the act is performed in its customary manner, not in
         violation of any other statute, and the person does not hold himself out to
            the public as being authorized to practice medicine. The delegating

                 performing the delegated medical acts.” (emphasis added)

             On August 24th, 1990 , the Texas Medical Board admitted that

          Physicians had the common law right to delegate medical acts to physician

          assistants66 and that The delegating physician remained responsible for

          the medical acts of the person performing the delegated medical acts.”

             The March 7th, 2014 ruling is not a “contested case” because a

          Texas72 Constitutions prohibit the application of any ex post facto law

          which affect or impairs vested or legal rights .

            The March 7th, 2014 ruling is not a “contested case” because before

          demanding that Mr. Perez appear at the State Office of Administrative

          Hearing or the Physician Assistant Board there should have been a judicial

          or neutral determination of probable cause that the Mr. Perez was guilty of

          an offense.73 The Fourth Amendment applies to the states through the

          Fourteenth Amendment74. Assuming, arguendo, that the TMB has

          administrative jurisdiction over Mr. Perez then Fourth Amendment applies

          to administrative agencies75. Probable cause means that there is a fair

         probability that an offense has been committed76. At the time the State

         Office Of Administrative Hearings dismissed the TMB’s complaint it had

         made no findings of probable cause77.

         The TMB has not, and cannot allege that there was a patient-physician

         assistant relationship between the alleged informer and Jose A. Perez.

         Texas Courts have ruled that a physician is under no legal obligation to

         practice his profession or render services to whomsoever may request

         them78. They have also ruled that a physician is not to be penalized for

         arbitrarily refusing to respond to a call of a person even urgently in need of

         medical or surgical assistance provided that the relation of physician and

         patient does not exist at the time the call is made or at the time the person

         presents himself for treatment79. The mere fact that a doctor is "on call"

         does not in itself impose any duty80.

             The Appellees/defendants have not and can not claim that Mr. Perez was

         under contract to perform services for the benefit of the informer81.The

         Appellees/defendants have not, and cannot,              identify the statute or

         administrative rule which identifies the steps a medical provider must take

         in order to refuse to treat a patient while avoiding behavior which can be

         construed as “unprofessional or dishonorable conduct that is likely to

         deceive, defraud or injure the public”.

             A rule that is not properly promulgated under mandatory APA

         procedures is invalid82. The Defendants have not, and cannot, claim that the

         rules have been promulgated.

             The March 7th, 2014 Ruling obviously "implements, interprets, or

         prescribes law or policy," reflecting the Board's construction and

         application of Rules § §187.27, 185.17(3) & (9). Secondly, the statement

         also impact private rights and not merely internal agency management or

         organization.

             The Defendants’ March 7th, 2014 ruling, somehow, concluded, that Mr.

         Perez’ numerous complaints, motions and Constitutional objections were

         not meritorious83, within the meaning of Rule §187.27(b)(3)(C). It also

         construed Rule §187.27(b)(3)(C) as authorizing revocation of Mr. Perez’

          right to earn a living , the absence of corroborating underlying facts

          notwithstanding.

              Considering the foregoing, Mr. Perez respectfully submits that

          construing the Board's policy as a "rule" is consistent with the Supreme

          Court's instruction that the intent of the agency be considered , the

          prescriptive nature of the policy, and the context in which the agency

          statements were made.84

              Although an "'agency is not bound to follow its decisions in contested

          cases in the same way that a court is bound by precedent, an agency is

          required by courts to explain its reasoning when it appears to the reviewing

          court that an agency has departed from its earlier administrative policy or

          there exists an apparent inconsistency in agency determinations85.

          The Texas Constitutions prohibits the application of ex post facto laws102.

          A retroactive statute violates the Constitutions if, when applied, it takes

          away or impairs vested rights acquired under existing law103.

              The Texas Medical Board seeks to impose administrative penalties

          pursuant to ex post facto laws. The facts show that Mr. Jose A. Perez

          presented his academic credentials to the Texas Medical Board, and the

          same were accepted on , September 22nd, 1994, 21 years ago. The Texas

          Physician Assistant Board ’s administrative jurisdiction104 began , and the

          amended licensing act105 became effective , on Sept. 1, 1999.

          conduct that is likely to deceive, defraud or injure the public” and which

          became effective 5 years AFTER Mr. Perez began practicing108. Mr.

          Perez, adamantly, but respectfully objects. The Physician Assistant Board

                      A FEDERAL AND STATE
               “TAKINGS” OR “SEIZURE OF PROPERTY “
              PROCEEDING APPLIES TO ALL SPECIES OF
          PROPERTY WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

         In the trial court the Defendants admitted that they deprived, and or seized,

      Mr. Perez’ right to earn a living as a physician assistant without

      compensation117. Nevertheless, they claimed that Mr. Perez failed to allege

      any facts which would show that the legislature waived sovereign immunity.

      The Defendants did not, and could not , allege that the abridgement and/or

      seizure was necessary for the preservation of the health, safety, and

      welfare of the public118.

          Texas district courts are courts of general jurisdiction119. The Texas

       Constitution states that the jurisdiction of a district court "consists of

       exclusive, appellate, and original jurisdiction of all actions, proceedings, and

       remedies, except in cases where exclusive, appellate, or original jurisdiction

       may be conferred by this Constitution or other law on some other court,

       tribunal, or administrative body120.

          In Dubai, the supreme court noted that courts of general jurisdiction are

       presumed to have subject-matter jurisdiction "unless a showing can be made

       to the contrary121. The defendants failed or refused to show that the district

       court had no jurisdiction over Mr. Perez’ complaint.

          In the trial court , Defendants argued that sovereign immunity protect the

       governmental entity from lawsuits for money damages122. In other words,

       Defendants’ position is that absent a rare act of the Legislature, property

       owners have no recourse to the courts when a state or local official

       wrongfully invade or seize property rights on the government’s behalf.

          That can not be the correct rule. As the Texas Supreme Court long ago

       recognized , “if the present suit could not be maintained without legislative

       consent, officials of the state would never have to condemn property

       legally. They could simply appropriate it , and the property owner would be

       entitled to no compensation unless the legislature granted him permission to

       sue123.

          Fortunately , the 1876 conventioneers , the Texas Constitution and US

       Supreme Court opinions124 hold that Defendants are not entitled to claim

       immunity from Mr. Perez’ suit. First, under State v. Hale, 136 Tex. 29,146
S.W.2d 731, 736. The Supreme Court of Texas speaking through Judge

       Sharp said:

         "The language used in Section 17 of Article 1 of the Constitution, supra,
        which says that no person's property shall be taken or damaged for public
          use without adequate compensation being made, has no exceptions or
          limitations attached thereto. It is a clear, definite statement of the rule
       which prevails in this State, which controls all the departments of the State
                 government; and the liability for adequate compensation
                   for private property taken or damaged for public use
             is not based upon the ground that the act of taking or damaging
         such property was done negligently or intentionally. * * *(emph added)

          Article 1, Section 17, of the Texas Constitution, Vernon's Ann.St.

       provides that "No person's property shall be taken, damaged or destroyed for

       or applied to public use without adequate compensation being made, unless

       by the consent of such person; * * *." Since there are no exceptions or

       limitations attached to the constitutional provision, the State itself is not

       exempt from its requirements125. Agencies created by the State are not

       exempt126.

             If there is a taking or a seizure , the constitution requires payment, even

         though the taking be for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety,

         morals or welfare and, therefore, involves an exercise of the police

         power127. Inverse condemnation proceedings apply when any type of

         property128 – i.e., physical, intangible129, intellectual – is affected by a

         governmental taking. Since 1922 it has been understood that a “regulatory

         taking” constitutes a taking requiring compensation130.

            Consequently , The Trial Court erred in dismissing Mr. Perez’ claims.

        compel compliance with statutory or constitutional provisions are not suits

        against the State135.

           The Fifth Amendment forbids takings in the form of government

       regulations that effectively deprive a property of all economic value139.The

       Takings Clause applies to the states140. Where a State provides an adequate

       procedure for seeking just compensation, the property owner cannot claim a

       violation of the Just Compensation Clause until it has used the procedure and

      been denied just compensation.141

         But the Williamson County ripeness doctrine "does not preclude state

      courts from hearing simultaneously a plaintiff's request for compensation

      under state law and a claim that, in the alternative, the denial of compensation

      would violate the Fifth Amendment of the Federal Constitution.142

         The Fourth Amendment, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth

      Amendment143, provides in relevant part that the "right of the people to be

      secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable

      searches and seizures, shall not be violated . . . ." A "seizure" of property

      occurs when "there is some meaningful interference with an individual's

      possessory interests in that property144.

         The Fourth Amendment applies to civil as well as criminal seizures145,

      and the Supreme Court holds that an interference with individual property

      rights may be found to breach more than one provision of the Constitution146.

      Separate claims for constitutionally unreasonable seizure and taking of

      property may coexist147.

         Further, the courts have ruled more than once that substantive due process,

      procedural due process, equal protection and takings claims may be

      implicated simultaneously in various types of governmental actions that

      interfere with individual property rights148.

         The Fourth and Fifth Amendments both provide specific constitutional

      commands149. That they may have evolved through case law to overlap in

      providing remedies for some deprivations of property interests does not

      authorize the court to fail to apply one or the other provision150. Indeed, as

      Presley noted, the elements of a violation of the two amendments differ, with

      the touchstone of a takings claim being lack of just compensation and that of a

      seizure claim being its unreasonableness151. Further, § 1983 authorizes

      different damage measures for the claims152.

      The Defendants submitted the Texas Physician Assistant Board “Default

      Order” as exhibit “A”. Mr. Perez objected pursuant to Texas Rule of Evidence

      401and 402 because the same is irrelevant.

           The Defendants have failed or refused to show that they have the

       Constitutional or statutory authority to revoke Mr. Perez right to work in his

       chosen profession on a default basis153.

           Furthermore, the document is inadmissible pursuant to Tex. R. Civ.

       Evid. 803(6)) because the custodian of records did not testify that the same

       was a record of regularly conducted business or activity and not prepared in

       anticipation of litigation154.

                    AMEND DEFECTIVE ALLEGATIONS
               OF JURISDICTION IN THE APPELLATE COURTS

      Assuming arguendo, that Mr. Perez has failed to allege jurisdictional facts in the

trial court which would have shown that Texas has waived sovereign immunity,

Mr. Perez respectfully submits that, as to federal claims, he can amend defective

allegations of jurisdiction in the appellate courts pursuant to 28 USC § 1653159.

Concerning 28 USC 1653 The US Supreme Court has stated that :

 “The "complaint" filed in the District Court, see n. 5, supra, nowhere mentioned §
  1331 nor alleged the requisite amount in controversy. The facts alleged and the
claim asserted nonetheless were sufficient to demonstrate the existence of a federal
    question. See C. Wright, Law of Federal Courts 290-291 (2d ed. 1970). And
   although a complaint under § 1331 is fatally defective unless it contains a
proper allegation of the amount in controversy, see, e. g., Canadian Indemnity
   Co. v. Republic Indemnity Co., 222 F.2d 601 (CA9 1955), respondent now
 claims that the matter in controversy does exceed the requisite amount. Brief
    for Respondent on the Jurisdictional Issues 4-5. Defective allegations of
 jurisdiction may be amended, 28 U.S.C. § 1653. In view of our disposition of
     the case, however, no purpose would be served by requiring a formal
                    amendment at this stage.” (emph. Added)

      Mr. Perez fully understands that 28 USC 1653 does not apply to Texas

jurisprudence. But Mr. Perez respectfully submits that Texas jurisprudence, as

shown hereinbelow, has adopted the rationale used by Congress in adopting 28

USC 1653.

      Firstly, the Texas Supreme Court has ruled that a litigant may raise

Constitutional Claims for the first time on appeal160.

Mr. Perez has a substantive right of adequate, effective, and meaningful access to

the courts161. The right is protected by, inter alia, (a) the First Amendment right to

petition for redress of grievances; (b) the fourteenth amendment guarantees of

procedural and substantive due process162; (c) the Fifth Amendment due process

clause163, (d) and the Fourteenth Amendment equal protection clause164.

      Mr. Perez can raise the issue of subject matter jurisdiction for the first time on

appeal165. Hence, he should be able to amend defective allegations of jurisdiction

in the appellate courts pursuant to (a) Tex. Const. art. I, § 13166. The open courts

provision of the Texas Constitution provides: "All courts shall be open and every

person for an injury done him, in his lands, goods, person or reputation, shall have

remedy by due course of law." Tex. Const. art. I, § 13. This requirement

"guarantees that a common law remedy will not be unreasonably abridged167 .

      Secondly, Mr. Perez respectfully submits that , as to all claims, he can amend

defective allegations of jurisdiction in the appellate courts pursuant to The Due

Process Clauses of the Texas Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment to the

United States Constitution168 because in Texas an adjudication in the merits is

preferred169.

      Mr. Perez respectfully submits that, as to all claims, he ought to be allowed to

amend defective allegations of jurisdiction in the appellate courts pursuant to Tex.

R. App. P. Tex.R. App. P. 38.7170 , Rule 33.1(d)171 and Rule 2172. In Majid vs

      present argument that will enable the court to decide the case" and not to
      impose formal requirements as ends in themselves. Id. R. 38.9. The rules
      further contemplate that appellate courts will afford parties the opportunity
      to cure any formal or substantive briefing defects before disposing of the
      appeal based on such a defect rather than the merits. See id.; see also
      Inpetco, Inc. v. Texas Am. Bank/Houston, 729 S.W.2d 300, 300 (Tex. 1987)
      (regarding parallel provisions of former appellate rules). Finally, "[a] brief
      may be amended or supplemented whenever justice requires, on whatever
      reasonable terms the court may prescribe." See Tex. R. App. P. 38.7.” (emph

                                       CONCLUSION

       WHEREFORE Mr. Perez respectfully submits that the trial court judgment

      be reversed and the case remanded.
