                         LAW FIRM                                          APPELLEE

               FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 OF TARRANT COUNTY

                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION

              Appellant Thuy Sunosky, pro se, appeals from the trial court's order

       dismissing her claims against Appellee Allen A. Rad Law Firm (Rad) for lack of

       jurisdiction.   Because Sunosky does not challenge the only basis for the trial

       court's order, we affirm.

              1SeeTex. R. App. P. 47.4,
      Sunosky, acting pro se, sued Rad in statutory county court based on Allen

Rad's representation of her in a previous matter relating to a car accident. She

asserted that Rad agreed to represent her in the matter but then failed to

communicate with her about the status of her case and failed to file suit until after

the limitation period had passed. She sought damages "aggregating $50,000 or

less" excluding costs and attorney's fees.       Rad filed a general denial and

asserted the affirmative defense of limitation and that Rad was not an

appropriate party to the lawsuit.

      The case was called for trial on January 10, 2013. Sunosky appeared pro

se.   Rad did not appear.     Sunosky testified along with two other witnesses.

Sunosky testified that before the car accident giving rise to the claim for which

Rad was to represent her, she had earned $2,000 a month, and in the eleven

years after the accident, she could not work.      At the conclusion of evidence,

Sunosky asked the court to award her $314,000 in damages—her lost wages for

eleven years plus interest.

       The trial court informed Sunosky that it was a court of limited jurisdiction,

that it could not award her more than $200,000, and that she needed to file her

claim in a district court.2 He then stated that it would "have to dismiss [her] case

       2See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 25.0003 (West Supp. 2013) (providing that a
statutory county court has jurisdiction in civil cases in which the matter in
controversy exceeds $500 but does not exceed $200,000); § 25.2221(a) (West
2004) (stating that County Court at Law No. 3 of Tarrant County is a county court
at law).
for want of jurisdiction, because [she] ha[s] pled for an amount that is outside the

amount in controversy [for] which this court is allowed to award."        After the

conclusion of the trial, the trial court signed an order of dismissal, stating that

"[a]fter considering the matter, the Court finds that this matter should be

dismissed for want of jurisdiction" and ordering that the case be dismissed

without prejudice. Sunosky now appeals.

      In the "Issues Presented" section of her brief, Sunosky sets out fourteen

numbered paragraphs that contain assertions of fact rather than legal issues.

But in her summary of her argument, she makes the following statement, which

we construe as her issue on appeal: "The Rad Law Firm put their desires ahead

of their client, by failing to represent her in a timely manner, and by allowing the

testimony of a doctor who never met nor examined her."

       In order for a trial court to decide a case, it must have the power to do so;

in other words, it must have jurisdiction over the case.3 Not every court in Texas
is authorized to try every claim. Under Texas law, statutory county courts (also

referred to as "county courts at law"), like the trial court in this case, may only

hear cases in which the amount in controversy is within a specified range.4

       3Black's Law Dictionary 927 (9th ed. 2009) (defining "jurisdiction" as "[a]
court's power to decide a case or issue a decree").

       4Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 25.0003; see also Tejas Toyota, Inc. v. Griffin,
587 S.W.2d 775, 776 (Tex. Civ. App.—Waco 1979, writ refd n.r.e.) (stating that
"the amount in controversy is the amount of damages claimed in the pleading").

                                          3
Currently, that range is between $500 and $200,000.5 That is, the trial court in

this case did not have the power to hear the case if the amount of damages

claimed was less than $500 or if the amount of damages claimed was more than

$200,000.6

      In her petition, Sunosky stated that she'was seeking to recover not more

than $50,000. The trial court had the power to hear a case involving that amount

in damages.7 But at trial, Sunosky introduced evidence that her damages were

over $200,000, and she asked the trial court to award her more than $200,000.

The trial court concluded that because Sunosky sought to recover more than

$200,000, it did not have jurisdiction over her claim.

      Sunosky's brief alleges that Rad failed to keep her updated on her case,

failed to file her case before the limitation period had passed, and kept money

that the insurance company had paid out on her claim.          Nothing in her brief,

however, addresses whether the trial court had jurisdiction over her claims, which

was the sole ground on which the trial courtordered the dismissal of her claims.8
Although we are mindful of the difficulty that pro se litigants face, we may not

issue on appeal.

      Having overruled Sunosky's sole issue on appeal, we affirm the trial court's

order of dismissal.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter follows our earlier communication in which we advised you of the applicability of the
Medicare Secondary Payer Program. Medicare has paid S3,1.71.73 to date. This amount represents the total
medical payments made to date; however, this amount will change if additional claims are paid after the date of
this letter or if we become aware of related claims paid by another Medicare contractor.

Please be advised, this is not the final interest amount. DX^Q^SEND-A CHEGK-A3^THIS4TME.,

Upon settlement, please send a copy of the signed settlement/release agreementalong with an itemizationof
attorney's fees and costs. Clearly state how much of settlement is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and how much
is Medical Payments (Med-Pay). Reduction on settlement DOES NOT APPLY to PIP or MED-PAY.
Medicare's reimbursement will be deducted from these recoveries first.
Medicare will then calculate the final interest amount after any reduction for procurement costs in accordance
with 42 CFR 411.37 and 411.51.

If you have anyquestions regarding the current list, or if you become aware of future payments, please send your
inquiry in writing to the address listed above, or you may call our office at 903-463-0641.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerelv.

     Demand Amount: $2,893.85

Dear Sir/Madam:

We are writing to you because we recently learned that you made aliability claim relating to an
illness, injury or incident occurring on or about 02/09/2001 and obtained a recovery We have
determined that you are required to repay the Medicare program $2,893.85 for the cost of
medical care it paid relating to your liability recovery. (The term "recovery includes a
settlement, judgment, award or any other type of recovery.)
We hope that you will find answers to some of the questions you may have about this letter
below Parts I and II of this letter explain the federal law that requires you to pay Medicare
back and the way we determined the amount you are required to repay. We have provided
instructions for repaying Medicare in Part 111 of this letter. You have the right to appeal our
determination if you disagree with it, and you also have the right to request that the Medicare
program waive recovery of the amount you owe in full or in part. Instructions for requesting
waiver of recovery and appeal are provided in Part IV of this letter. Finally, Part Vof this letter
exolains the interest charges that apply if you do not repay Medicare withm sixty (60 days
 from the date of this letter and tells you about certain actions Medicare may decide to take it
 you fail to repay the amount you owe.
 I. Why am I required to repay Medicare?
 You are required to repay Medicare because Medicare paid for medical care you received
 related to your liability recovery. The Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) law allows Medicare to
 pay for medical care received by aMedicare beneficiary who has or may have aLability dam.
 However the law also requires Medicare to recover those payments if payment of a liability
 settlement, judgment, recovery, or award has been or could be made. Congress passed the

             HISTORY: MVA 2001. Lower back pain.

            TECHNIQUE: MR examination of the lumbar spine was performed using sagittal and axial images
            without contrast administration.

            Comparison: None

            FINDINGS: Rve lumbar vertebrae are assumed to be present for the purposes of this examination,
            but if intervention is planned plain film con-elation is recommended regarding the appropriate levels.

            There is a mild curvature of the lumbar spine with convexity tothe right.

            At the T12-L1 level degenerative disk desiccation is present without loss of height of the
            intervertebral diskspace. Mild posterior spondylosis is present.

            At the L1-2 level degenerative disk desiccation is present with loss of height of the intervertebral
            disk space. Signal changes adjacent to the endplates are compatible with degenerative disk
            disease, with subchondral edema suggesting this may be a pain generator. There is moderate
            posterior spondylosis and old in disk with mild effacement of anterior thecal sac.

            At the L2-3 level degenerative disk desiccation is present with mild loss of height of the
            intervertebral disk space. Signal changes adjacent to the endplates are compatible with
           degenerative disk disease. Posterolateral spondylosis is present with associated disk protrusion.

           At the L3-4 level degenerative disk desiccation is present without loss of height of the intervertebral
           disk space. There is moderate posterior disk protrusion which appears broad base with mild
           effacement and two thecal sac.

           At the L4-5 level degenerative disk desiccation is present with mild loss of height of the

             intervertebral disk space. There is a broad-based posterior disk protrusion extending 5-mm from the
            posterior vertebral margin and 17-mm from medial to lateral'with moderate effacement of the
            anterior thecal sac. The AP diameter of the sac measures 10 mm. Posterolateral spondylosis is
            present.

            At the L5-S1 level there is degenerative disk desiccation without loss of height of the intervertebral
            disk space. There is a moderate broad-based central posterior disk protrusion extending
            approximately 3mm from the posterior vertebral margin. Moderate facet arthropathy is present in
            the left with mild facet arthropathy on the right. There is mild encroachment left neural foramen.

            The vertebral alignment appears normal. No fracture or compression is seen. The conus medullaris
            lies in normal position. No other significant finding isseen.

            IMPRESSION:
            Large broad-based central posterior disk protrusion at L4-5.

            There is mild encroachment on the left L5-S1 neuraiforamen.

           Subchondral edema associated with degenerative disk disease at L1 -2 suggests this may be apain
           generator.

           Moderate multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine otherwise as discussed above.

$200,000.6

       In her petition, Sunosky stated that she was seeking to recover not more
than $50,000. The trial court had the power to hear a case involving that amount
in damages.7 But at trial, Sunosky introduced evidence that her damages were
over $200,000, and she asked the trial court to award her more than $200,000.
The trial court concluded that because Sunosky sought to recover more than
$200,000, it did not have jurisdiction over her claim.

       Sunosky's brief alleges that Rad failed to keep her updated on her case,
failed to file her case before the limitation period had passed, and kept money
that the insurance company had paid out on her claim. Nothing in her brief,
however, addresses whether the trial court had jurisdiction over her claims, which
was the sole ground on which the trial court ordered the dismissal of her claims.8
Although we are mindful of the difficulty that pro se litigants face, we may not

S.W.3d 676, 682 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2002,' no pet.) (affirming the trial
court's grant of a plea to the jurisdiction because the appellant failed to challenge
on appeaf all of the grounds that were included in the plea).

                                                                                        / '3
       Sunosky, acting pro se, sued Rad in statutory county court based on Allen
Rad's representation of her in a previous matter relating to a car accident. She
                                                                                  r

asserted that Rad agreed to represent her in the matter but then failed to

communicate with her about the status of her case and failed to file suit until after

the limitation period had passed. She sought damages "aggregating $50,000 or
less" excluding costs and attorney's fees.       Rad filed a general denial and
asserted the affirmative defense of limitation and that Rad was not an
appropriate party to the lawsuit.

       The case was called for trial on January 10, 2013. Sunosky appeared pro
se. Rad did not appear. Sunosky testified along with two other witnesses.
Sunosky testified that before the car accident giving rise to the claim for which
Rad was to represent her, she had earned $2,000 a month, and in the eleven
years after the accident, she could not work. At the conclusion of evidence,
Sunosky asked the court to award her $314,000 in damages—her lost wages for
eleven years plus interest.

       The trial court informed Sunosky that it was a court of limited jurisdiction,
that it could not award her more than $200,000, and that she needed to file her

claim in a district court.2 He then stated that it would "have to dismiss [her] case

                                                           Medial Branch Block

                               You have been scheduled for this procedure as your next diagnostic nerve

                  block. The nerves (medial branch of the dorsal ramus) which come from the

                  primary nerve root at any given spinal level, supply the joint at that level as well

                  as a portion of the muscle on either side of your neck, mid back or low back.

                               This nerve block is intended to determine whether you have pain

                   associated with the facet joints, the disks which are in between each of the spinal

                   vertebrae, or a combination of both of these areas.

                                This nerve block is purely diagnostic although some patients receive more

                   than a few hours, and sometimes a few days relief, depending on several factors.

                   This nerve block is not intended to cure your pain, rather it is only to determine

                   where the pain is coming from.
