                              No. 05-20-00827-CV

               MARK DANA AND DIANA DANA, Appellants
                              V.
               DIAMANTE MEMBERS CLUB, INC., Appellee

               On Appeal from the 471st Judicial District Court
                            Collin County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. 471-01510-2020

                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Myers, Molberg, and Garcia
                           Opinion by Justice Molberg
      In this restricted appeal, appellants Mark and Diana Dana argue there is error

apparent on the face of the record that appellee Diamante Members Club, Inc.

(DMCI) failed to comply with mandatory requirements for domesticating a foreign

judgment under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (“UEFJA”) by

failing to file notice of the filing or present the court with a proper affidavit

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

DMCI concedes facial error.

      Having reviewed the record, we agree with the Danas and DMCI that the

mandatory UEFJA requirements were not met and that this error is 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.
