constitutional claims of the nature asserted by Plaintiffs under §50(a)(6)(B) of
Article XVI of the Texas Constitution.
In its carefully crafted Memorandum Opinion and Order of November
13, 2013, the district court patiently reviewed the law applicable to the facts
asserted by Plaintiffs and concluded that their state constitutional claims are
time barred and that they cannot maintain any of their ancillary claims, e.g.,
breach of contract, Texas Debt Collection Act, Texas Deceptive Trade Practices
Act, and fraud and fraudulent misrepresentation. For essentially the same
reasons cogently explained in its Order, the district court’s dismissal of
Plaintiffs’ action is, in all respects,
AFFIRMED.
