                 ORAL ARGUMENT NOT REQUESTED

POINTS OF ERROR (1) Texas Courts are simply not at liberty to ignore
Texas Case Law that voids Orders issued and res judicata does not apply to
Adjudication by Courts that lack subject matter jurisdiction.

                       Statement of jurisdiction

Texas Rules Of Appellant of Procedure... Rule 17.2 gives the 6th District
C.O.A. the same Subject Matter Jurisdiction as the 10th District C.O.A.

                       STA TEMENT OF THE CASE

Merritt v. Andrews filed 06/26/15 in 170th Dist. Ct. in McLennan County
For Recording Invalid Document dated (March 2008) in Deed Records to

Cloud Title to Mr. Merritt's real property located in McLennan County

violated Tex.Civ.Prac.&Rem.Code Chapter 12 Sec. 12.002 combination

Civil and Criminal violation of State Law...Civil Violation for Recording it

and Criminal Penal Code Sec. 32.49 Class A Misdemeanor for not removing

it Mr. Davis was added to this suit...since he was never tried in a Proper

Court... for violating Tex.Civ.Prac.&Rem.Code Chapter 12 Sec. 12.002.

                         STA TEMENT OF FACTS

Judge Strother in the 19th Dist. Ct. in Waco, TX. "Dismissed My Litigation"
based on an Order he received without a Motion urging action... included

Vexatious Litigant papers issued by 380th Dist. Ct. in Collin Co... .assumed

Collin County was a "proper court"...he dismissed my statutes & case laws.
                                      ARGUMENT

    Merritt v. Davis Lawsuit was originally instituted in McLennan County

04/07/ 2009 assigned this to 74th District Juvenile Court Judge Coley
 ..Bench Trial Set with FIAT Signed Exhibit (AA page 3 of 3)                       Subject

Matter Topic "Mr. Merritt's real property located in McLennan County

Clouded by Invalid Document Recorded in Deed Records by Mr. Davis"

                               Texas District Courts

   Texas district courts are courts of general jurisdiction and are presumed to

have subject matter jurisdiction over all matters unless the Texas

Constitution or Statute confers Exclusive Jurisdiction elsewhere.

       Civ.Prac.&Rem.Code Chapter 15 MANDATORY VENUE

Sec. 15.011. LAND. Actions for recovery of real property shall be broughtin the

county in which all or a part of the real property is located... (and the only real property

owned by Mr. Merritt was real property located in Waco, McLennan County Texas.)

  19th Dist. Ct. Judge Strother in Waco signed an Order that did not have a
Motion urging action to be taken... caused his order to be defective per

Granado v.Madsen, 729 S.W.2d 866, 870 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th] 1987,

writ refd. n.r.e.) (judgment order in case where there were no live pleadings

and thus no cause of action against whichjudgment could be granted was a

nullity and of no effect); Seber v. Glass, 258_S.W.2d_122, 124 (Tex.Civ.

App.-Fort Worth 1958, no writ) (No Pending pleading causes the trial
court to be without jurisdiction and purported order was void). Where

there is no pleading, there can be no judgment. Cunningham v. Parkdale

Bank,660 S.W.2d 813(Tex.l983)

    Unlike Personal and Territorial Jurisdiction Subject Matter can not

be waived even if parties agreed ... and Judgments from a court that lacked

subject matter jurisdiction is forever a nullity per State v. Riewe, 13 S.W.3d
408, 413-14 (Tex.Cr.App .2000)... A Court must have subject matter

jurisdiction to adjudicate a case per Tex. Ass 'n ofBus. V. Tex. Air Control

Bd, 852S.W.2d440, 445 (Tex. 1993)...mdMapcoIna v. Forrest, 795
S.W.2d 700, 703 (Tex.1990) A judgment is void when court rendering the

judgment had no jurisdiction... and Res Judicata DOES NOT Apply per

Citizens Ins. Co. ofAm. v. Daccach, 217' S.W.3d430, 452-53 (Tex. 2007)

AND....The $h Dist Court OfAppeals could only dismiss and remand Case
back to McLennan County...because Texas Case Law states... Appeals court

has no jurisdiction over a void judgment or order per Nabejas v. Tex. Dep't

ofPub. Safety, 972 S.W.2d 875, 876 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1998).

                     MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE

 Mr. Davis files Motion to Transfer Venue right after he sees a Bench Trial

has been signed off on to hear this Case in McLennan County...so to keep
from being held accountable in a PROPER COURT...Mr. Davis inserts

FALSE Statements in his Brief stating Sec. 15.013 Prevails..Exhibit (A )

(this is an Injunction Statute)... and Merritt v. Davis was for a Civ.Prac.&

Rem.Code Chapter 12 Sec. 12.002 Violation...Civil for Recording it &

Criminal Penal Code Sec 32.49 violation... for not removing it.

               PAST TO PRESENT HISTORY OF EVENTS

 Back in 2007.. I was told my neighbor Mr. James Andrews was being cited

for Health and Safety Code Violations by Collin County Authorities ... and

for some reason he thought I was the one reporting this... so... out of spite

and retaliation... and Files A False Report To Collin Coimty Sherriff Office

saying me and my dog had been causing him trouble for at least 15 months

... LONG STORY SHORT... I lost this in JP Court because Judge Douglas

ALLOWED Mr. Andrews, Mr. Slayton and Sgt Vance TO NOT

ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ... .to remedy this... I did the following:

FIRST...I Appealed this Verdict to a "Criminal Court" in Collin County.

SECOND...I Filed THREE Separate Lawsuits For The Following

Violations: CV-09-47 Mr. Andrews Filing a False Report, CV-08-48 Mr.

Slayton, Perjury and CV-08-49 Sgt. Vance, Failing To Provide Equal

Protection Of The Law... All Lawsuits said the same verbiage of.. "Answer

My Questions in Wylie JP Court and I will drop my lawsuit"
THIRD...I DID NOT WANT JP Ct. Judge Douglas to preside over this

Because in the Criminal Case he ALLOWED PEOPLE TO NOTANSWER

MY QUESTIONS... and Caused me to lose and have to Appeal this to

County Court... and I wanted ANOTHER JUDGE... after calling three

different Administrative Judicial Courts... all stated they had come out and

replaced Justice of Peace Judges... and Government Code Chapter 27 that

was specifically written for Justice of Peace Courts had Section 27.055(b)

and used the word recusal and defined this as Inability to Perform Official

duties... and the first Rule under Tex.R.Civ,P was Rule 523 District Rules

Govern... and there was no Recusal there... so I read the verbiage the

verbiage in Rule 18a and it stated may be used in "any" court and did not

exclude JP Courts... so I file a Rule 18a Recusal Motion with the JP Court

Office and was File Stamped Jan 7th 2008...
   On Jan 30th 2008. .Judge Douglas walks into the Courtroom and says
"No one is going to be able to Speak or Object To Anything Today and the

Recusal Motion does not apply to me"... then had the Bailiff pass out

Sanctions without listing a "specific conduct" being violated.

         GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 27 JUSTICE COURTS
Sec.27.055(b)   If a justice is temporarily unable to perform official
duties because of absence, recusal, illness, injury, or other
disability, the county judge may appoint a qualified person to serve as
temporary justice for the duration of the disability.
   JP Ct. Judge Douglas did not contact Commissioners Court and refused

to follow Guidelines in the Gov. Code and or Rule 18a... Continued to

Preside & Issued Orders...See Brosseauv. Ranzau, 911 S.W.2d890

(Tex.App.-Beaumont 1995, no writ), if a trial court fails to comply with the

strictures in Rule 18a, all actions taken thereafter are void.

     JP Ct. Sanction Orders Were Appealed to County Court

I have to back up a bit... When I let Judge Douglas know he did not have

authority to Issue Orders...he set ANOTHER Hearing for (March 19th 2008)
where... he bumped up the Dollar Amount of Sanctions then I appealed mis.

       Appeal This To County Court In McKinnev Texas

  I hand carried my Appeal Brief over to County intake desk in McKinney

Texas where the Clerks wanted a few thing done ... which was to put the

name of each person under the CV Numbers... Appeal being Made Due To

What Court's Actions... so I hand wrote with Arrow pointing to "Due To JP

Ct. Judge Douglas Precinct 2 Collin County" and Gave them the MY

Affidavit and two Page initial Brief that was File Stamped March 27the

2008 being 9 Days after JP Court Verdict was Issued..and the Clerks gave

My Appeal Cause No. 1-798-2008 which I found out was later signed by

Judge Corinne A Mason ... then I filed THREE Separate Briefs that ALL

stated the same thing EXCEPT had a Different Name on it., were all file
stamped April 11th 2008 Motion To Appeal Rulings where I listed Names
and Council along with Contact Information of the Front Page and let Judge

Mason know JP Court Judge Douglas refused to abide by his Recusal.

                     HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED

  The Defense Council did not file anything in County Court... and the Court

Coordinator said there were no Names or Address to send out Notice... SEE

Exhibits (B) 1st & 2nd Pages; "Motion to Appeal Rulings" Exhibit (C ) with
Notification of Appeal by FAX Exhibit (D ) ...Everyone's Name and

Address & Council Name was in "My Motion To Appeal"...yet County

Judge DWOP the case Exhibit (E)... was not such a bad thing because

Case Texas Case Law says the following... "It is well-settled that

[Perfection of an appeal to county court from a justice court nullifies the

judgment of the justice of peace court" per Mullins v. Coussons, 745 S.W.2d
50, 51 (Tex.App.-Houston [Nth Dist] 1987, no writ); Poole v. Goode, 442

S. W.2d810, 812 (Tex.Civ.App.-Houston [Nth Dist] 1969, writ refd, Once

a county court acquires jurisdiction by perfection of an n.r.e.). appeal from

justice court, the rules of procedure permit only that the county court to try it

or dismiss it per Hall v. McKee, 179 S.W.2d 590, 593 (Tex.App. -Fort Worth

1944). And Cramer v. State Farm Mutual Auto Ins. Co. (Tex.App.- Houston

[1st Dist] Nov 6, 2007) the justice court's judgment to the county court is de
novo and a justice court's determination of fact or law "is not res judicata

and does not constitute the basis for estoppel by judgment in a county court.

         Mr. Davis Records The JP Court Order Anyway

   I find this out by total accident that Mr. Davis recorded this in Collin and

McLennan County... yet... the only real property I owned was located in

McLennan County... I FAXED Mr. Davis a Letter demanding him to remove

it and he saidthe JP Court Judgments Traveled Underlying with the Appeal..

County Court DWOP... reinstates Justice Courts Orders... yet I knew he

waswrong.so I filed My Lawsuit known as Merritt v. Davis for Violation

of Civ.Prac.&RemCode Chapter 12 Section 12.002...Recording an Invalid

Document to Cloud Title to my real property in McLennan County ... and

filed this in "County Court" in both Collin & McLennan ... and Quickly

Withdrew and Re-Filed this in District Courts in Collin & McLennan

County the same day...but after carefully reading Statutory Laws...

.. -Action for this must be taken in a PROPER COURT... defined as one that

had Mandatory Venue and is why I initiated ACTION in the 74th District

Court in McLennan County asking for a BENCH TRIAL and got the FIAT

signed to hear this 06/10/2009 EXHIBIT (AA Page 3 of 3)...Mr. Davis filed

a MOTION To Transfer Venue listed reasons for Transfer of case on Page 4

of his BriefEXHIBIT (A)... and case of Merritt v. Davis was erroneously
transferred to 380th District Court in Collin County... where Judge Wooten
DENIED My Motion to remand the Case back to where Mandatory Venue

lies in McLennan County... sua sponte a Vexatious Litigant Order... and

after bouncing this around in Collin County for years... was a total waste of

time because NO COURT IN COLLIN COUNTY had Mandatory

Venue and Lacked Subject Matter Jurisdiction...

   Then recently I found my neighbor James Andrews Recorded JP Ct.

Order issued in (March 2008) in (2013) after he found out... I had a Heart

Attack... So I sent him a Letter demanding him to remove this or I will file a

Lawsuit in a Proper Court for his Violation ofLaw... and on June 26th 2015
filed my Lawsuit in the 170th District Court in Waco given Cause No. 2015-
2602-4 then this got transferred to 19th District Court due to an ORDER
being sent to Collin County WITHOUT A MOTION urging Action To be

taken and No Notice or Service to anyone... after this... I added Mr. Davis

to this Lawsuit since he has never been held accountable in a proper court.

   HISTORICAL EVENTS IN CIVIL AND CRIMINAL COURTS

(1) I WON in CIVIL COURT on May 5th 2008 DUE TO [Perfection of

Appeal nullified Judge Douglas' Orders AND the DWOP was the Final

Verdict settling all claims...SEE Court's Register of Actions Exhibit (E)

(2) I WON in CRIMINAL COURT.. on June 11th 2008 because the Judge
Stated "You Will Answer All Questions"... Verdict Not Guilty by stating

There was not one scintilla of evidence to support Mr. Andrews claims

         MR. DAVIS RECORDS JP Ct. Orders KNOWING

(1) Judge Douglas did not act on his Recusal...Orders were void by Texas

Case Law Brosseau v. Ranzau, 911S. W.2d890 (Tex.App.-Beaumont 1995,

no writ), if a trial court fails to comply with the strictures in Rule 18a, all

actions taken thereafter are void...(Statute of limitations to review this has

expired) and is moot since [Perfection of Appeal nullifies JP Ct. orders.

(2) JP Ct Orders were Appealed to County Court via Cause #1-789-2008

[Perfection of Appeal Nullified JP Court Orders and DWOP was the Final

Verdict dismissing disputes of both sides.

(3) "Error of a filing clerk" is what caused Judge Douglas to be listed as a

Defendant in "Court Register of Actions"... not me.

      Merritt v. Davis was transferred to Collin County in 2009

  Judge Wooten of the 380th District Court in Collin County sua sponte
Vexatious Litigant Order... yet was prohibited by Texas Case Law... (In re

Marriage ofGrossnickle, 115 S.W. 3d238,252 (Tex.App.-Texarkana 2003)

(stating the vexatious litigant statute only applies when a section 11.051 is

filed within ninety day after the date on which the defendant files his or her

original answer)... and Mr. Davis admits he did not... see Exhibit (F)

                                        10
      The Art of Deception...Blatant lies...and Half Truths

   In Court to On April 2014... Mr. Davis Knowingly and Intentionally

LIES to the Court to HIDE his Larceny ... saying (1) Both McLennan &

Collin County had Mandatory Venue... (2) The suit was against him but

relief sought is against Collin County for issuing the Vexatious Litigant...

(3) Mr. Davis also changed his Story by saying he Transferred Venue up to

Collin County based on Mandatory Venue ofwhere Defendant Lives....

(4) Said he was representing a Client for Collin County... (ALL FALSE as

Follows: (l)..McLennan County only one to have Mandatory Venue via

CPRC Ch. 15 Sec 15.011..(2)..ReJief is "Removal of invalid Document"...

Vexatious Litigant Order is already void per TEXAS CASE... (3)..In 2009

Mandatory Venue Sec. 15.013 prevails in 2014 Exhibit (G) it's "where the

defendant lives" ...SEE Case I^xw...Youngbloodv. Wilson & Cureton, 321

S.W.2d (Tex.App-Ft.Worth 1959) Maus v. Turman & Mitchell, 456 S.W.2d
181 (Tex.App.-Austin 1970) employment of "another attorney" was

necessary to recover attorneys' fees.... (The Reason Mr. Davis has No

Letter of Authority from Collin Co. Commissioners Court it's a case-by-

case Contract at Collin County sole discretion & they DlD NOT ask a

Order void by Case Law and nullified by Appeal be Recorded... nor ask

                                      11
for Mr. Davis' services)...Mr. Davis' Half Truths and Blatant Lies in

Court is Perjury... in his Brief is called Tampering with Government

Records and Deceiving an Official into paying his pro se fees is Larceny.

... Any Court can fine & jail Mr. Davis for "Attorney Misconduct" per

Government Code Ch. 82 Sec. 82.061...and Sec. 82.062 a District Court.

                       SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

  When an Appeal is taken from a void judgment, the appellant court must

declare the judgment void...Because the appellate court may not address the

merits, it must set aside the trial courts judgments and dismiss and remand.

SEE Case Laws..El-Karch v. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Comnt'n, 874
S.W.2d 192, 194 (Tex.App.-Houston[lJhDist] 1994, no writ) AND The
Texas Supreme Court speaking through Folley, Commissioner, in

Bridgmen vs Moore, 143 Tex 250,183 S. W.2d at page 707, stated... "A

violation of law tried by a court void of Subject Matter Jurisdiction

causes all of it's orders to become void having no force of law... orders are

good nowhere and bad everywhere" and "There is Ilo time limitation

regarding a violation of law was adjudicated by a court that did not

have power to act as a court"...."a Void Judgment is mere waste paper,

an absolute nullity, and all acts performed under it are also nullities".

(Acts performed it ...means 5th Dist. COA Orders are also nullities)

                                       12
                                 PRAYER

(1) Reverse Vexatious Litigant Order recorded in Austin, Texas due to all

Collin County Court Orders were void by Texas Case Law due to lack of

subject matterover Merritt v. Davis Case... and the 5th Dist COA in

Dallas had no jurisdiction over void orders or McLennan County Texas.

(2) Strike 19th District Court Order to Dismiss Litigation in Waco McLennan
County since it was based on Collin County Vexatious Litigant Order that

was void by Texas Case Law for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

(3) Remand this Case back to 19th Dist Court... with instructions to have

170   District Court hear Case known as Merritt v. Andrews & Davis with

a statement stating Mr. Merritt should enjoined by local official per Tex.Civ.

Prac.&Rem.Code Chapter 12 Section 12.003.
