                        SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

                                       ISSUE :1

      Appellant tenders in summary the trial court abused its discretion by failing

considered   the testimony presented in this matter that first reflected that

Respondent testified that all funds for the down payment on the community

property home were proceeds taken directly from non- community saving , and

that the Petitioner who was disable, receiving $1048 a month in disability with a

lawn service that no income presented himself to the court as a victim while

admitting under oath that he cheated on Appellant his paramour and that he clearly

was a non-factor in accumulating any funds that grew the community however he

was awarded on a theory of equitable distribution one half of the post sell equity

that included $52,576.21 dollars of Respondent Separate Funds a factor that runs

counter to all principles of equitable distribution of the community estate for a

party who adulterous act and action cause the divorce in the case at hand. The

                                                                                  5
placing of Petitioner on the same footing as Respondent is a windfall for Petitioner

and a reward for destroying the martial relationship.

                          SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

                                         ISSUE :2

      Appellant tenders in summary that the trial court granting of an Ex Parte

Turnover Order with Receiver under        Sec. 31.002 of the Texas Civil Remedies

and Practice Code, was an abuse of discretion based on the Final Decree in

Appellant Divorce and constituted a violation of Appellant’s Due Process Right

of Notice under the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution that produce

the taking of her property and illegal imprisonment.

                                  ARGUMENT 1

STANDARD OF REVIEW: In a divorce proceeding, the trial court is charged

with dividing the community estate in a "just and right" manner, considering the

rights of both parties. TEX. FAM.CODE ANN. § 7.001 (Vernon Supp.

2006); Boyd v. Boyd, 131 S.W.3d 605, 610 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2004, no pet.).

Trial courts are afforded wide discretion in dividing marital property upon divorce;

therefore, a trial court's property division may not be disturbed on appeal unless the

complaining party demonstrates from evidence in the record that the division was

                                                                                     6
so unjust and unfair as to constitute an abuse of discretion. Jacobs v. Jacobs, 687
S.W.2d 731, 733 (Tex.1985); Boyd, 131 S.W.3d at 610.

To determine whether a trial court abused its discretion, we must decide whether
the trial court acted without reference to any guiding rules or principles; in other
words, we must decide whether the act was arbitrary or unreasonable. Downer v.
Aquamarine Operators, Inc., 701 S.W.2d 238, 241-42 (Tex.1985), cert.
denied, 476 U.S. 1159, 106 S. Ct. 2279, 90 L. Ed. 2d 721 (1986). We must indulge
every reasonable presumption in favor of the trial court's proper exercise of
discretion in dividing marital property. Boyd, 131 S.W.3d at 610. Accordingly, we
will reverse only if the record demonstrates that the trial court clearly abused its
discretion, and the error materially affected the just and right division of the
community estate.

In the case at hand the record reflects that Appellant possessed an ability to save

Money. The record further reflects that at point prior to the divorce she had

accumulated a total of $299,681.93, which the Court in it written decision noted.

(See App.1) The record is also clear on the factor that the funds in the account as to

all increases were associated with the acts and action of Appellant. Appellant also

note that all funds which were placed as the down payment on the community were

her funds Appellant would acknowledge that the issue of community property as

to the funds does come into place after marriage as to the funds placed into her

saving account however the record is clear that Appellee never placed funds into

the account, that in the trial of this matter he presented himself as a victim and that

on direct examination from his counsel. He admitted that he had been cheating on

Appellant and that he thought that was a factor for his mistreatment by Appellant.

                                                                                       7
(RR-V2-31) Appellant in a similar vain stated in summary that she and Appellee

has a good marriage before he started cheating on her. (RR-V2-101) The record

also reflects that based on the use of a tracking device while Appellant a Mail

Carrier was out working hard delivering the mail, Appellee a disabled individual

with limited income and no saving skills was getting up daily as Appellant

departed for work going to see his paramour. (RR-V2-99)

 In Ohendalski v. Ohendalski, 203 S.W. 3d-Tex: Court of Appeals, 9Dist. 2006, the
court noted that:

 Generally, in a fault-based divorce, the court may consider the conduct of the
errant spouse in making a disproportionate distribution of the marital
estate. Young, 609 S.W.2d at 761-62. The grounds for a fault-based divorce
specifically include cruelty and adultery. Tex. Fam.Code Ann. §§ 6.002-.003
(Vernon 2006). (Ohendalski at 915)

In the case at hand Appellee clearly unforced by his counsel admitted in summary

that he felt that alleged violent acts and actions against him by Appellant were the

byproducts of his cheating on Appellant. (RR-V2-p31) Appellant admission and

the entirety of the record including the tracking of Appellee to his paramour home

by default placed this pending matter in a Fault Based Divorce which the record

clearly reflects and would not have been a question for the trial court to see, the

trial court however in an abuse of discretion gave the Appellee a windfall for

breaking up the union between Appellant and Appellee. In connection with the

position as stated Appellant prays that the matter be remanded by this Honorable

                                                                                       8
back to the trial to reassess the division of the $52,576.21 down payment as to the

parties upon the sell of the community property home.

                               ARGUMENT 2

STANDARD OF REVIEW: In Sivley v. Sivley v. The Hon. Richard Beacon

Judge of the 354th Judicial District Court of Rain County Texas Sitting A Probate

Court, 972 S.W. 2d. 850 Crt. App.Texas Tyler, Texas (1998) the court stated that:

The granting of a turnover order is reviewed under an abuse of discretion
standard. Beaumont Bank, N.A. v. Buller, 806 S.W.2d 223, 226 (Tex.1991); Dale v.
Finance America Corp., 929 S.W.2d 495, 497 (Tex.App.—Fort Worth 1996, writ
denied). A trial court may be reversed for abusing its discretion when the court
acted in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner. Dale, 929 860*860 S.W.2d at 497.
An abuse of discretion occurs when the trial court acts without reference to any
guiding rules and principles. Id. Turnover orders are governed by Section 31.002
of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. That statute affords a judgment
creditor aid from a court of appropriate jurisdiction to obtain satisfaction of a
judgment if the judgment debtor owns property that cannot be readily attached or
levied on by ordinary legal process, and is not exempt from attachment, execution
or seizure. TEX.CIV. PRAC. & REM.CODE ANN. § 31.002(a) (Vernon 1997). It
includes orders which the trial court enters to enforce an order that has been
refused or disobeyed. See TEX.CIV. PRAC. & REM.CODE ANN. § 31.002(c)
(Vernon 1997).

The statute itself does not provide for notice or a hearing to be afforded a judgment
debtor in a turnover proceeding. TEX.CIV. PRAC. & REM.CODE ANN. § 31.002
(Vernon 1997). See Ex parte Johnson, 654 S.W.2d 415, 418 (Tex.1983) (although
judgment debtor received notice and his attorney appeared at the hearing, the court
in dicta observed that the statute allows ex parte entry of the order without notice
and hearing); Ross v. 3D Tower Ltd., 824 S.W.2d 270, 272 (Tex. App.—Houston
[14th Dist.] 1992, writ denied) (notice and opportunity to be heard was afforded
judgment debtor; however, in dicta, the court found that notice or opportunity to be
heard was not required by the statute).

                                                                                      9
The question before us, however, is whether the trial court's failure to provide prior
notice and a hearing before the issuance of the turnover order under Section 31.002
violated Don, Jr.'s constitutional rights to due process and trial by jury even though
the turnover statute does not require it. Due process of law requires that an
individual is entitled to notice and hearing before he is deprived of a property right.
U.S. Const. amend. XIV; Tex.Const. art. I, § 19. The issue of whether post-
judgment collection proceedings compromised constitutional due process
principles was addressed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Endicott-
Johnson Corporation v. Encyclopedia Press, 266 U.S. 285, 288-290, 45 S. Ct. 61,
69 L. Ed. 288 (1924). In Endicott-Johnson, the judgment debtor contended that a
New York statute conflicted with the constitutional due process clause because it
authorized the issuance of a garnishment execution without giving notice to the
judgment debtor or affording him a hearing. In holding that due process was not
violated, the court reasoned as follows:

... the established rules of our system of jurisprudence do not require that a
defendant who has been granted an opportunity to be heard and has had his day in
court, should, after a judgment has been rendered against him, have a further notice
and hearing before supplemental proceedings are taken to reach his property in
satisfaction of the judgment. Thus, in the absence of a statutory requirement, it is
not essential that he be given notice before the issuance of an execution against his
tangible property; after the rendition of the judgment he must take "notice of what
will follow," no further notice being "necessary to advance justice."

Endicott-Johnson Corporation, 45 S. Ct. at 62-63.

Texas courts have adopted the analysis of Endicott-Johnson in upholding the
constitutionality of various post-judgment proceedings. In Ex parte Johnson, the
Texas Supreme Court acknowledged that the appellant had been given notice of
the hearing, but gave credence to the analysis and holding in Endicott-Johnson by
noting in a footnote that the judgment debtor was "not unfairly surprised" by the
court's turnover order. Citing Endicott-Johnson, the court stated that "the judgment
rendered against Johnson ... put him on notice that postjudgment collection
proceedings would follow." Ex parte Johnson, 654 S.W.2d at 418. In Pitts v.
Dallas Nurseries Garden Ctr., Inc., 545 S.W.2d 34, 37 (Tex.Civ. App.—
Texarkana 1976, no writ), a postjudgment garnishment proceeding, the appellant
challenged the constitutionality of the garnishment process. Citing Endicott-
Johnson, the Texarkana court of appeals rejected this challenge, stating that "after
the rendition of a valid final judgment, the defendant must take notice of what will
follow." Pitts, 545 S.W.2d at 37. In Merritt 861*861 v. Harris County, 775 S.W.2d
10
17, 21 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1989, writ denied), the appellant
challenged the constitutionality of an eviction proceeding issued pursuant to a
forcible entry and detainer action. The court held that due process was not violative
because the judgment "afforded appellants with notice that post-judgment
proceedings would follow." Merritt,775 S.W.2d at 21, citing Endicott-
Johnson and Ex parte Johnson. (Sivley at 860-8860)

Appellant would note before moving forwarding that the cited Standard of Review

coupled would the expanded discuss Appellant Issue is without merit however

Appellant tenders to the Honorable that a review of the Final Decree in the case at

would not lead the Appellant to believe that:

“the judgment "afforded appellants with notice that post-judgment proceedings

would follow” In the case the following timeline is reflected in the Record:

   1. Final Decree Signed on January 2, 2018 (CR-p 118 )

   2. § 31.002 Turnover /Receiver Motion filed on January 8, 2018 (CR-p 130-

      140)

   3. Order to Distribute Funds and Cover Signed March 22, 2018 (CR-p)

It is the position of Appellant that she did not have notice that post-judgment

proceeding would follow based on the excerpts below from the Final Divorce

Decree signed on January 2, 2018 by the Trial Court:(CR-p )

   1. THEREFORE, in consideration of the judgment amounts set forth above, the Court
grants a collective judgment in the total amount of seventy‐two thousand two hundred
seventy‐seven dollars and sixty‐six cents ($72,277.66) representing the sums set forth
above. For a just and right division of property made in this decree, IT IS

                                                                                         11
FURTHER ORDERED AND DECREED that Petitioner, Herman Tyeskie, is awarded judgment
of seventy‐two thousand two hundred seventy‐seven dollars and sixty‐six cents
($72,277.66) against Respondent, Inger Tyeskie, as and for Petitioner's community interest
in property, payable in accordance with the terms of the closing documents ordered
in this decree to be executed by Respondent, bearing interest at the rate of 6 percent
per year compounded annually from the date of judgment, for which let execution
issue. This judgment is part of the division of community property between the parties
and shall not constitute or be interpreted to be any form of spousal support, alimony, or
child support. (CR-p 124)

   2. Respondent, INGER TYESKIE, is ORDERED to sign a vendor's lien note in the
      amount of $72,277.66 payable to Petitioner, HERMAN TYESKIE. The note shall
      bear interest at the rate of 6 percent per year, compounded annually. It is to
      be payable according to the following terms: on demand; or if not on demand,
      on or before 60 days from the date of signing of this Final Decree of Divorce.
      (CR-p 125)

    3. Transfer and Delivery of Property
IT IS ORDERED that Inger Tyeskie shall deliver the following property to Herman
Tyeskie on or before fifteen (15) days after the signing of this Decree:
1. Promissory note for the judgment in the amount of seventy‐two thousand
two hundred seventy‐seven dollars and sixty‐six cents ($72,277.66) attached hereto;
and
2. Security Agreement attached hereto. (CR-p 126)

As to what was to what follow the Judgment the “Bold Items Above” is what was

Ordered by the trial court to follows, however what followed was:

   1. No Promissory Note is Found Attached to the Final Decree in the Clerk’s

      Record.

   2. Counsel for Appellee Filed 30.002 Turnover/Receiver Motion on January 8,

      2018 at a point in time that prior to the 15-day demand made on Appellant

      for the non-provide document or any due date on a Promissory Note or

      Signed Security Agreement. (CR-p 130-140)

   3. The trial court signed 31.002 Turner/Receiver Order on January 19, 2018.

                                                                                        12
      (Cr-p 149-153)

 In keeping the above the Final Decree was an Attachment to the § 31.002

Turnover /Receiver Motion filed on January 8, 2018. Appellant tenders to the

Honorable Court that the conduct of the trial court was a violation of Appellant’s

14th Amendment Due Process Right which resulted in of her property being taken

in an Order dated March 22, 2018, which included a $21,773.64 to a Receiver.

(CR-p 215-16) The acts and actions violated the trial court’s Final Decree a clear

abuse of discretion which also lead to Appellant being Jailed for multiple

weekends for Contempt based on a Motion filed by the Receiver. (CR-p 203-206)

In keeping with the abuse under this issue Appellant prays that the pending matter

be remanded to trial to make Appellant whole as it relates to the Violation of 14th

Amendment Right which produced the taking of her funds and illegal

imprisonment.

                                  CONCLUSION

 Appellant pray that upon review by this Honorable Court, the ruling of the trial

court be reversed and this matter Remand to the trial court to correct the errors

noted .
