                          Amended Brief for Joyce Ann Sarro

     Comes now appellant, Joyce Ann Sarro, and submits this amended brief regarding

decisions of the trial court, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.1.
                                 References to the Record

     The record consists of the clerk’s record in one volume and two volumes of reporter’s

records.

     A request for a supplemental clerk’s record will be made because the Final Decree

of Divorce signed on April 1, 2015 was not in the clerk’s record (it is Appendix A), and

the order granting a new trial on property division was also not in the clerk’s record (it is

Appendix D). Also, the request will include a letter describing a ruling of the trial court,

which was admitted into evidence at the motion for new trial hearing and is Appendix F.

       The record was filed electronically and the computer file in pdf format was received

from the clerk with the following file name and the title appearing on the first page of the
file, along with the number of pages of the pdf computer file itself.

       The clerk’s record will be referred to by CR for clerk’s record, followed by the page

by the number of the pdf computer file, as they are different.

       The reporter’s records will be cited as RR CFD, for the transcript of the hearing on the

Motion To Confirm the Final Decree of Divorce, and RR NT, for the hearing on the Motion

                                    Statement of the Case

       An Original Petition for Divorce was filed by appellee Michael Sarro. CR 1-12, pdf
162-173. This is a divorce case with one child who has a disability and an issue regarding the

division of retirement and pension benefits. After a divorce decree was signed, Appendix C,

a new trial was granted on property division of the marital estate. Appendix D. There were

additional proceedings, including regarding support for an adult child with a disability. CR

71-89, pdf 232-250.

       A trial on the merits occurred in 2004, and then the issue emerged about when the

divorce was effective, whether it was at the time of the first divorce decree, before the partial
new trial, or at the time of the subsequent trial resulting in a new decree of divorce.

       After another hearing, briefing to the judge in the trial court was requested. Appendix

E; CR 90, pdf 251. The divorce was determined to be effective at the time of the trial that

occurred on August 17, 2004, after the new trial was ordered. Appendix F; CR 110, pdf

271.

       This resulted in a new final decree of divorce that was signed on April 1, 2015.

Appendix A.

       After it was discovered that the court reporter’s notes no longer existed from the 2004
trial, appellant Joyce Sarro filed a motion for new trial. CR 94, pdf 255. After a hearing

the motion was denied. CR 326-327, pdf 487-488.

       This appeal followed. CR 328-329, pdf 489-490.

                           Statement Regarding Oral Argument

       Since the court reporter’s record of the trial on the merits cannot be prepared, and that

issue is addressed in a rule of appellate procedure, the case appears to be straight-forward

enough so that oral argument would not be especially helpful to the court. Therefore,

Appellant is not requesting oral argument.

                                                3
                                     Issues Presented

     1. A record of the trial on the merits cannot be prepared because the original notes of
the court reporter no longer exist; thus, appellant should have a new trial pursuant to Tex.

R. App. P. 34.6(f), since the record is necessary to the resolution of an appeal regarding an

unequal division of retirement and pension benefits and deferred compensation.

     2. The trial court erred in not granting a new trial for good cause because the court

reporter’s notes were no longer available to prepare a record for an appeal, meaning that

the unequal division of retirement benefits could not be reviewed on appeal.

                                    Statement of Facts

     Appellee Michael Sarro filed an Original Petition for Divorce on March 11, 1998. CR
1, pdf 162. After a court appearance of July 17, 1998, a decree of divorce was signed on

August 20, 1998. CR 13-41, pdf 174-202.

     A motion for new trial was granted as to property on October 23, 1998. Appendix D.

     An issue developed over when the divorce decree became effective, as there were two

court proceedings that would result in a divorce decree. There was a hearing to decide that

issue on April 4, 2014. RR CFD 4-13.

     The motion for new trial and documents attached to Joyce Sarro’s motion for new trial

were admitted into evidence at the hearing on the motion for new trial. RR NT 4, line 1 to
line 13. CR 94-110, pdf 255-271.

     Additional documents and testimony that are facts relating to the appeal are in the

record, and are referenced and cited under the arguments for the issues and points of error

presented below, so they will not be duplicated here.

                               Summary of the Argument

     As is described in the argument below, and in the pleadings in the record, this case had

a difficult procedural history. Ultimately, an issue became evident regarding the division
                                             4
of retirement and pension and deferred compensation as a result of the determination in

the trial court in 2014 that the date the divorce became effective was in 2004 rather than
1998. As such, this appealable issue required a record from the trial in 2004. However,

the notes to transcribe what occurred at the trial are no longer available. Thus, the matter

is presented under Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(f) that Appellant is entitled to a new trial, and the

issue in dispute regarding property division is a particular and identifiable one.

                                         Argument

                                    Issue Number One

     1. A record of the trial on the merits cannot be prepared because the original notes of

the court reporter no longer exist; thus, appellant should have a new trial pursuant to Tex.
R. App. P. 34.6(f), since the record is necessary to the resolution of an appeal regarding an

unequal division of retirement and pension benefits and deferred compensation.

                                    Issue Number Two

     2. The trial court erred in not granting a new trial for good cause because the court

reporter’s notes were no longer available to prepare a record for an appeal, meaning that

the unequal division of retirement benefits could not be reviewed on appeal.

     Through a series of unusual events in the procedural history of this case, including

the granting of a partial new trial on property division, proceedings regarding support for
a disabled child, several attorneys, and ambiguity about when the divorce was actually

effective, the case was pending for quite a number of years.

     The case stalled out over the question of when the divorce was effective; was it at

the time of the first divorce proceeding on July 17, 1998, or at the time of the divorce trial

on August 17, 2004? An issue emerged regarding the division of retirement and pension

benefits as a result of the ambiguity over the effective date of the divorce and the granting

of a partial new trial on the question of property division.
                                              5
     The question of when the divorce was effective was not resolved until 2014. A hearing

was held on that issue on April 4, 2014. RR CFD 4-13. The parties were asked by the
judge in the trial court to submit briefing on that question. RR CFD 11, line 3 to p. 13, line

8. CR 90, pdf 251; CR 107-108, pdf 268-269.

     The court determined that the divorce was effective at the time of the last trial on the

merits on August 17, 2004. CR 110, pdf 271. The parties were informed by letter that—

           As a trial court cannot sever property issues from a divorce action, once the
     new trial was granted that made the 1998 divorce decree interlocutory. The date
     of the divorce is August 17, 2004, which is the date that Judge Nellermoe heard
     the “final trial on merits of property issue” and reconfirmed all other terms of the
     decree. Judge Tanner requests that Mr. Mead prepare a final Decree of Divorce
     which indicates the August 17, 2004 date as the date of hearing and submit the
     decree to Ms. Sadovsky for approval as to form.

CR 110, pdf 271.

     An original divorce decree was signed on August 20, 1998, reciting that the case was

heard on July 17, 1998. CR 13-41, pdf 174-202.

     The trial after the partial new trial was granted occurred on August 17, 2004. The

divorce decree resulting from that trial and which is the subject of this appeal is dated April

1, 2015, resulting from Judge Tanner’s ruling on when the divorce was effective.

     From the splitting of the trials, and the additional court action over when the divorce

became effective, the language of the present divorce decree makes an unequal division of

pension and retirement benefits. On pages 28 and 29 of the divorce order, the division of

pension and retirement benefits is set forth. On page 29 as to Joyce Sarro, it orders a 50%

portion of retirement and deferred compensation plans of Michael Sarro to Joyce, “from

June 6, 1993 until July 17, 1998”, in each instance.

     The parties were married on June 6, 1993. CR 2, pdf 163. The retirement and pension

and deferred compensation plans were divided equally until the time of the first divorce
                                              6
proceeding. However, after the partial new trial was granted on the issue of property, and

the divorce was determined in 2014 to have been effective on August 17, 2004 rather than
July 17, 1998, none of the retirement and pension benefits, and deferred compensation, was

ordered for Joyce Sarro for the time period of July 17, 1998 to August 17, 2004. This has

resulted in an unequal division of the marital estate as to those items of property which can

be the subject of an appeal. However, the transcript of the trial starting on August 17, 2004

cannot be made into a record on appeal because the court reporter’s notes are no longer

available.

     Joyce Sarro filed a motion for new trial in order to show that the court reporter could
not make a record of the trial. At that hearing, the motion for new trial and its four exhibits

were admitted into evidence. RR NT 4, line 1 to line 13. CR 94-111, pdf 255-272.

The exhibits included a statement from the court reporter that the notes no longer existed;

an affidavit from Joyce’s attorney, John Mead, explaining some of the reasons why the

procedural process in the case took as long as it did; the judge’s notes requesting briefing

on the issue of when the divorce was effective; and the letter describing the judge’s ruling

about the effective date of the divorce.

                                               I.
     Tex. R. App. P. 34.6(f) states:
           Reporter’s Record Lost or Destroyed. An appellant is entitled to a new trial
     under the following circumstances:
           (1) if the appellant has timely requested a reporter’s record;
           (2) if, without the appellant’s fault, a significant exhibit or a significant
     portion of the court reporter’s notes and records has been lost or destroyed
     or—if the proceedings were electronically recorded—a significant portion of the
     recording has been lost or destroyed or is inaudible;
           (3) if the lost, destroyed, or inaudible portion of the reporter’s record, or the
     lost or destroyed exhibit, is necessary to the appeal’s resolution; and
           (4) if the lost, destroyed or inaudible portion of the reporter’s record cannot
     be replaced by agreement of the parties, or the lost or destroyed exhibit cannot
                                               7
     be replaced either by agreement of the parties or with a copy determined by the
     trial court to accurately duplicate with reasonable certainty the original exhibit.

     A proper review of the division of pension and retirement benefits, and deferred

compensation, requires the record from the trial. As is stated in Smith v. Smith, 143
S.W.3d 206, 214 (Tex. App.–Waco 2004, no pet.): “Although the court need not divide the

community estate equally, a disproportionate division must be supported by some reasonable

basis [citation omitted]. Having reviewed the record, we find no reasonable basis for the

disproportionate division of community assets and the liabilities of the parties. Therefore,

we sustain Karen’s second issue.” In Smith, there was a record to review, but the holding in

the case indicated that the record must be examined in order to see if an unequal division

of a marital estate is justified.

     A record from a hearing was not available in a child support matter, In the interest of

K.R.M., No. 11-11-00312-CV, 2012 Tex. App. LEXIS 2696 (Tex. App.–Eastland April 5,

2012, no pet.). The court ruled that: “The reporter’s record is necessary to the disposition of

the OAG’s third issue, which requires that we review the evidence presented at the hearing

and determine whether the trial court abused its discretion in finding that the amount owed

by Mitchell was zero. Because the reporter’s record from the hearing is unavailable, we

cannot reach the merits of the OAG’s third issue. Thus, the reporter’s record is necessary

to the disposition of this appeal”.

     Some exhibits were not able to be located to be included in a reporter’s record, in

Bauserman v. Unimax Express, Inc., No. 14-06-00077-CV, 2006 Tex. App. Lexis

9347 (Tex. App.–Houston [14th Dist.] October 26, 2006, no pet.). In that case, the

appellants timely requested the record and paid for it on February 15, 2006, the District

Clerk misplaced the exhibits, the missing exhibits were pertinent to the issue of financial

damages and necessary for the appellants’ appeal on the issue of damages, and the parties
                                              8
were unable to agree on a complete reporter’s record. They were entitled to a new trial. Id.

     In the case at bar, in his affidavit admitted into evidence at the motion for new trial

hearing, trial counsel for appellant Joyce Sarro described how he attempted to reach an

agreement as to the terms of a final decree of divorce after the trial that began on August 17,

2004, and that Appellee was represented by three different attorneys during that time, and

there was an ongoing issue and dispute about the date the divorce was actually effective.

In both his affidavit and in the message from the court reporter admitted into evidence
at the same hearing, it was established that the reporter’s notes from the 2004 trial no

longer existed. In April 2014 there was a hearing on determining the date the divorce was

effective, and then the court’s ruling was not announced until the letter of August 8, 2014.

CR 107-110, pdf 268-271.

                                              II.

     There is a hole in the law that can create, and does create, problems with the mainte-

nance of notes and recordings from hearings and trials that may be necessary for an appeal.

There is no requirement that a reporter’s notes and other recordings be kept until a certain

length of time after a final judgment is signed by a trial court judge.

     Especially in jurisdictions with large populations and many cases pending and on

the docket, a case may not be resolved within three years. Certainly there may be pretrial

hearings that could have significance later on in the process of the case, or discovery matters

and disputes that may need to be appealed, all after three years or so have gone by.

     The unusual procedural history of this case—including additional actions regarding
the parent-child relationship and a child becoming an adult with a disability—can result in

an appealable issue for which a trial record is no longer obtainable.

     Tex. R. App. P. 34.6 presents the issue of the lack of a reporter’s record as one that is

de novo. A motion for new trial under Tex. R. Civ. P. 320 in this instance was needed to
                                              9
establish that the reporter’s record was not going to be available, and arguably a new trial

could be granted for good cause. A ruling on a motion for new trial is usually reviewed for
an abuse of discretion. The more specific and controlling rule in this regard is Tex. R. App.

P. 34.6.

     Based on the procedural history of the case and the existing record, it is appropriate

that a new trial be granted. Since the issue from the perspective of the Appellant concerns

the division of retirement and pension and deferred compensation plans, it is highly likely

that any other issues that would exist in the event of a new trial would be agreed to or would

be the subject of stipulations, making a new trial uncomplicated and clean.
                                  Conclusion and Prayer

     Therefore, Joyce Ann Sarro prays that this brief be filed; that the cause be submitted;

that this court reverse the Final Decree of Divorce signed on April 1, 2015; that the case be

remanded to the trial court for a new trial; that all costs be taxed against Appellee; and that

she have such other relief, in law or equity, to which she may be justly entitled.

RE: Cause No. 1998-Cl-03821
In the Interest of Michael Andrew Sarro, A Child
             73rd
Filed in the      District Court

Dear Mr. Mead and Ms. Sadovsky:

       Judge Tanner has requested that I advise you of her ruling on the Motion to Confirm
Final Decree of Divorce filed in this cause. The Motion is denied. As a trial court cannot sever
property issues from a divorce action, once the new trial was granted that made the 1998
divorce decree interlocutory. The date of the divorce is August 17, 2004 which is the date that
Judge Nellermoe heard the "final trial on merits of property issue" and reconfirmed all other
terms of the decree. Judge Tanner requests that Mr. Mead prepare a Final Decree of Divorce
which indicates the August 17, 2004 date as the date of hearing and submit the decree to Ms.
Sadovsky for approval as to form.
