V.
DIVLEND EQUIPMENT LEASING, LLC, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 72nd District Court
Lubbock County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012,502,283, Honorable Ruben Gonzales Reyes, Presiding
October 31, 2013
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
I concur. As noted by the majority, each guaranty included a passage whereby
the guarantor agreed to guarantee the payment of "rent and all other amounts
payable . . ." as well as the "performance by the Lessee of all of the Lessee's other
obligations under the Lease." (Emphasis in majority’s opinion). Agreeing within the
lease to adjudicate all claims in Texas is no less of an "obligation" imposed on the
lessee than the obligation to pay rent for the items leased. Consequently, the
guarantors were also bound to perform that obligation.
