             DIAMANTE MEMBERS CLUB, INC., Appellee

                    On Appeal from the 199th District Court
                             Collin County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. 199-01509-2020

                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Myers, Molberg, and Garcia
                            Opinion by Justice Garcia
      In this restricted appeal, appellants argue that there is error apparent on the

face of the record because appellee failed to comply with the mandatory

requirements for domesticating a foreign judgment under the Uniform Enforcement

of Foreign Judgments Act (“UEFJA”); specifically, that appellees failed to file

notice of the filing or present the court with a proper affidavit authenticating the

filing. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 35.004(a), (b)(2). Appellee

concedes error on the face of the record supporting reversal and remand of the case.

      Having reviewed the record, we agree that the UEFJA requirements were not

met and there is error apparent on the face of the record. See id; see also TEX. R.
APP. P. 26.1(c); Alexander v. Lynda’s Boutique, 134 S.W.3d 845, 848 (Tex. 2004).

Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand for further

proceedings consistent with this opinion.
