TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellee, Cintas-R.U.S., L.P. files this its Appellee’s Brief as follows:

                                                 I.

                                     ORAL ARGUMENT

      Appellee does not request oral argument.

                                                 II.

                                   ISSUES PRESENTED

REPLY POINT 1:               The pending appeal is moot due to the Appellant’s payment of the
                             judgment, and Appellee’s issuance of a Full and Final Release of
                             Judgment and Judgment Lien.

REPLY POINT 2:               The record reflects the Appellant’s failure to maintain a registered
                             agent for service of process and a registered office, thus the
                             secretary of state was an agent for service of process for the
                             corporation.
                                        III.
                                 STATEMENT OF FACTS

       As reflected in the Texas Secretary of State, John Steen’s Business Organizations Inquiry

page from November 25, 2013, Appellant, J&J Container Manufacturing, Inc. (“Appellant”) had

listed as its Registered Agent, “Anthony Lewis Cook” at “6124 W. Little York, Houston, Tx.

77091 USA.” (Appendix 1) When pre-suit certified and regular demand letters from Appellee,

Cintas-R.U.S., L.P. (“Appellee”) came back from the registered address as “not deliverable,” it

was clear that Appellant had failed to maintain a registered agent in Texas as required.

(Appendix 2) Therefore, Appellee served the Texas Secretary of State under Section 5.251 of the

Texas Business Organizations Code. The return from the Secretary of State, which is in the

Record (CR 16) reflects that the Citation was sent to the registered address on April 7, 2014, and

was returned as “Not Deliverable As Addressed.” On June 3, 2014, Appellee was awarded a

Default Judgment against Appellant. Notice of the judgment was mailed by the trial court to the

Appellant at its registered address on June 3, 2014, and again it was returned as “Not deliverable

as addressed.” (SCR 8-9)

       Appellee mailed post-judgment discovery to the Appellant at the address where service

had been rendered, 1526 DeSoto, Houston, Texas 77091, on July 11, 1014. (Appendix 3)

Appellant did not object, appeal, seek court protection, supersede or respond in any way. In late

August 2014, a deputy with the Harris Count Constable’s office made demand at the DeSoto

address, and Appellant voluntarily paid an amount in excess of $17,488.05 to the deputy

constable. On September 9, 2014, Harris County issued payment to Appellee’s attorney in the

amount of $17,488.05. (Appendix 4). On September 24, 2014, having heard nothing further

                                             Page -2-
from Appellant, Appellee issued and mailed a Full and Final Release of Judgment and Judgment

Lien to the DeSoto address. (Appendix 5)

                                       IV.
                            SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

       Because Appellant voluntarily paid the judgment, this appeal is moot, and there is not a

justiciable dispute to be considered or ruled upon by this Court. Moreover, because Appellant

failed to maintain a registered agent for service of process and a registered office, the secretary of

state was an agent for service of process for the corporation and service was proper.

                                             V.
                                          ARGUMENT

REPLY POINT 1:         The pending appeal is moot due to the Appellant’s payment of the
                       judgment, and Appellee’s issuance of a Full and Final Release of
                       Judgment and Judgment Lien.

       As the documents in the Appendix reflect, the Appellant voluntarily paid the amount of the

judgment to the Harris County Constable in late August of 2014. Having previously received a full

set of post-judgment discovery from Appellee, Appellant did not seek to supersede the judgment or

request a restraining order or do anything to resist or oppose the payment of the judgment. The

constable did not seize property. Instead, without reservation of any kind, Appellant paid. More

than two weeks after payment was received by Appellee, having heard nothing from Appellant,

prepared and mailed the Release to Appellant on September 24, 2014. Appellant did not return the

Release. Appellant did nothing until November 18, 2014, when it filed its Notice of Intent to File

a Restricted Appeal.

       When Appellant voluntarily paid the judgment without reservation of any right to appeal, it

waived any right to bring a subsequent appeal, and rendered moot the appeal that is currently

                                              Page -3-
pending. When a judgment debtor voluntarily pays and satisfies a judgment rendered against it, the

cause becomes moot. Employees Finance Co. v. Lathram, 369 S.W.2d 927, 930 (Tex. 1963). The

judgment debtor thereby waives any right to appeal and the case must be dismissed. Guajardo v.

Alamo Lumber Co., 317 S.W.2d 725 (Tex. 1958); Otto v. Rau Petroleum Products, 582 S.W.2d 504

(Tex.Civ.App.–Houston[1st Dist.] 1979, no writ). The basis for this rule is to prevent a party from

simply changing his mind about pursuing the case, or misleading his opponent into thinking the

controversy is over. A party should not be allowed to mislead his opponent into believing that the

controversy is over and then contest the payment and seek recovery. The Texas Supreme Court

restated the public policy as: “A party who pays a claim is deemed to have made his own decision

that it is justly due. If he thinks otherwise, he should resist. He should not pay out his money, leaving

the other party to act as though the matter were closed, and then be in a position to change his mind

and invoke the aid of the courts to get it back.” BMG Direct Mktg. v. Peake, 178 S.W.3d 763, 769

(Tex. 2005) quoting R.G. McClung Cotton Co. v. Cotton Concentration Co., 479 S.W.2d 733, 743

(Tex. Civ. App. –Dallas 1972, writ ref’d n.r.e.).

        “Usually, when a judgment debtor voluntarily satisfies the judgment, the case becomes

moot, and the debtor waives any right to appeal.” Maan v. First ATM, Inc., 2008 Tex. App.

LEXIS 9279 quoting Marshall v. Housing Auth. of San Antonio, 198 S.W.3d 782, 787 (Tex.

2006). The rule is intended to prevent a party who voluntarily pays a judgment from later

changing his mind and seeking the court’s aid in recovering payment. Id. (citing Highland

Church of Christ v. Powell, 640 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1982).

        In this case, the Appellant had received post judgment discovery sometime shortly after

July 11, 2014, and made no effort to object, appeal, supersede, seek a restraining order, respond

                                               Page -4-
or even contact Appellee. When the Harris County deputy constable contacted Appellant to

demand payment, the Appellant paid without reservation, objection, court intervention or appeal.

Then, when Appellee mailed a Release, Appellant did not return it, object or respond in any way.

The matter was paid, settled and closed. This appeal is moot and should be dismissed.

REPLYPOINT 2:                  The record reflects the Appellant’s failure to maintain a registered
                               agent for service of process and a registered office, thus the
                               secretary of state was an agent for service of process for the
                               corporation.

       J & J Container has failed to continuously maintain a registered agent for service of process

and a registered office as required under the Texas Business Organizations Code. See Tex. Bus.

Orgs. Code Ann. § 5.201. According to the Code, if the registered agent cannot be found with

reasonable diligence at the registered office, the secretary of state is an agent for service of process

on the corporation. Id. § 5.251(1)(B). The Secretary of State forwarded the citation to the most recent

address on file of J & J Container Manufacturing, Inc., which was 6124 W. Little York, Houston,

Texas 77091. The Whitney Certificate states the process was returned on April 23, 2014 “bearing

the notion Return to Sender, Not Deliverable As Addressed, Unable to Forward.” (CR 16) This

presentation is on the face of it evidence that the address J & J Container provided to the Secretary

of State as the registered agent was incorrect. The record also contains the Notice of Judgment that

was sent by the trial court to the same address, 6124 W. Little York, Houston, Texas 77091. That

notice was returned to the trial court with the same notation. (SCR8-9)

       Therefore, the trial court’s records confirm the fact that J & J Container failed to maintain

a proper address for its registered agent. Under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, the petition,

                                               Page -5-
citation, and return of service establish valid service of process, and those three documents in this

case show that Appellant strictly complied with the rules for service of process. Tex. R. Civ. P. 107.

“As the purpose of Rule 107 is to establish whether there has been proper citation and service, the

Secretary’s certificate fulfills that purpose.” Orgoo, Inc. v. Rackspace U.S., Inc., 341 S.W.3d 34, 39

(Tex. App.—San Antonio 2011) quoting Campus Invs., Inc. v. Cullever, 144 S.W.3d 464, 466 (Tex.

2004).

         Through prior correspondence, Appellee had learned that the registered agent was not at

the address on file. In fact, counsel for Appellee had served three demand letters on three

different addresses for J & J Container and all three were returned due to being “unclaimed and

unable to forward.” Appellee exercised reasonable diligence before suit was file in determining

that the registered agent of J&J Container could not be found at the registered office.

         Appellant would have Appellee go through a pointless, costly exercise of sending a

process server to an address that Appellee had already learned was “not deliverable” before

following the provisions of Tex. Bus. Orgs. Code Ann. § 5.251 (1)(B). Such a result would only

penalize Appellee for attempting to locate and serve the registered agent, and reward Appellant

for its failure to keep its records and filings up to date with the secretary of state. The Judgment

was properly rendered and should be AFFIRMED.

                                                VII.

                                             PRAYER

         Appellee prays that this matter be dismissed as moot, or AFFIRMED, and for such other

and further relief to which Appellee may be justly entitled.
