                                     Appeals for the First District, at Houston, Texas

               Dear Ms. Hall:

                      Reference is made to my letter dated July 1, 2015, and John v\/esley Wauson' s letter to you
               dated July 2, 2015, a copy of which is enclosed.

                      To make my position clear, I am not asking that you include in the reporter's record
               Plaintiffs Exhibit 77 as I agree with lvir. vVauson's letter that "[i]t does not appear that Exhibit 77
               was ever admitted or that reference to it by Exhibit Number was made in the Reporter's Record."

                      As reflected in my original July 1, 2015, letter my request regards any testimony, Court
               hearing or exhibit list that reflects Exhibit 77 was neither offered nor admitted into evidence. If
               no such testimony or documents exists, please let me know.

                                                                       1
       I appreciate you for your continued cooperation.

                                                          Sincerely,

                                                                       \?G~

         Dear M:s. Hall:
                                   Case No. 01-15-00163-CV; Xiangxiang Tang v. Klaus Wiegand; In the First
                                   District Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas

                  We are in receipt of the letter Request to you from Mr. Venzke, counsel for the Appellee
         in the referenced appeal. We have reviewed the requests we made earlier and the Reporter's Record
         provided to the Court of Appeals. It appears complete based upon our requests.

                The requirements of the Reporter's Record are found at Rule 34.6(a)(l) and (2), Tex. R.
         App. P. Mr. Venzke's request to you seeks documents that are not portions of the standard
         stenographic reporter's record, including exhibits introduced into evidence or electronic record
         with exhibits introduced into evidence. It does not appear that Exhibit 77 was ever admitted or that
         reference to it by Exhibit Number was made in the Reporter's Record. Accordingly, I believe that
         Mr. Venzke's request is inapprop1iate.

                       Thank you for your attention.

Mr. Venzke,
 
I will have to check on this.  I was out of the office last week, Tuesday through Friday. 
 
In my previous e-mail to you, I explained there were no exhibits included in the appellate record
  because none were included in Mr. Wauson’s Designation of Reporter’s Record.  I did inform you
  though that Exhibit 77 was never admitted.  I did not say that it was not offered.  Again, I will have
  to check the record and I will get back to you.

As a follow up to my formal request, enclosed is the Exhibit List filed by Plaintiff's
  which reflect Exhibit 77 was "Wauson Probus Attorney's Fee Statements
  (redacted)." What I am looking for is this form, or whatever you used to keep track

I noticed that Exhibit 77 (copies of Wauson's attorneys' fees) was not in the the
 testimony you prepared and filed. I looked at the District Court's website and they
 are not listed in that record. Do you have this Exhibit as part of the testimony ? If
 so, and I want to add for the appeal, what do you need from me to do so ? I know I
 need to file Motion with Court of Appeals, but what do you need from me to include it
 ?

Thanks.

The cost for the appellate record you requested which includes the testimony of Andy Tang and

The cost for the two bills of exceptions, if you choose to include them, is $344.
 
Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

Good point; if we do it, and I do not think client's can pay so probably moot, but it
  would include our two bill of exceptions and, with Tang and Tran, that is it.

  I’m just confirming that you don’t need Voir Dire, anything concerning Defendant’s two bills of

As you may recall, I represeted Yvonne Tran and Klaus Wiegland in this case.

I see that Wes Wauson has requested a partial statement of facts. Can you give me
 an estimate of how much the remainder would cost ? That would be the testimony of
 Mrs. Tang and Ms. Tran.

Thanks.
