THE STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Appellee's conspired fabricating a fraudulent Tool "lis pendens" (CR-0710-
0713) filed 04/14/2008, for extorting money from Appellant and
Appellant's property's utilizing a daughter in law as Appellee's Notary
Public, whom has a community interest and benefit in the Notarized acts on
both lis pendens, and Appellee's (CR-0706-0709)Sworn Affidavit filed
09/17/2009 mean while Courts barred, and entertained Appellant. On
several occasions Appellee's thinking fraudulently created a Sworn
Affidavit committing an aggravated perjury offence intending to cause a
greater damage to Appellant and Appellant's properties. The deceiving false
statements on Appelles's Sworn Affidavit, claimed Appellant forged
Appellee's signatures on Deed of Gift Reserving Life Estate, that benefited
Appellant as a remainder, whereofAppellant had purchase the property's by
chain of title. While Appellee's lis pendens active on filed law suit,
Appellee's take advantage selling Appellant's property's without the Trial
Courts permission. These (CR-0640-0643) two disclosed of seven lots sold
by Appellee's belonging to Appellant's (CR-0241 Through CR-0248)
developed subdivision lots fueled Appellee's law suit and other costs (CR-

switched Notary Public on Appellee's Sworn Affidavit covering their
violation of Notary ethics (CR-0524-0526). Appellee's have damaged
Appellant within their Frivolous Law Suit from the date filed 04/14/2008 to
the present regularly preventing Appellant a yearly income earnings in the
amount of $125,000.00 after expenses. Appellant seeks all of the

INTRODUCTION OF THE CASE
The Appellee's, and the Appellee's Attorney saw an opportunity to trespass
Title on Appellant's sole larger tracts numbers fifth, sixth, and seventh,
within Appellant's Deed of Gift Reserving Life Estate (see deed of gift
reserving life estate CR-0518--519). The Appellee's with an opportunity
to extort and trespass title on tracts numbers sixth, and seventh because
Appellee's Attorney conspired the opportunity the property needed to Quiet
6.
title on tracts six and seven due to the property being in the name of
Osbaldo A. Saenz Inc. (see warranty deed "CR-0021")
as Grantee a non existing corporation, once Osbaldo A. Saenz
Junior completed the purchase of this subject property (see letters evidence
to Grantor "CR-0104-0111" & PAYMENTS CR-0203-0206, &CR-
01770178 ) whereof requested to place the property in the
corporation name with Appellant's intention to get incorporated thereafter
(see LETTER & DATES"CR-0106" ).
Appellee's intent to commit fraud and fraud, fraudulently conveyed these
same two subject tracts, sixth, and seventh, without being a member of the
corporation, or incorporated, (see cash deed "CR-0119" to better his
personal interest). At that same instincts Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz
Junior requests Appellee Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior return those subject
property's to purchaser Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior including the
other tracts Maria Estela G Saenz had belonging to Saenz Junior being
tracts one through seven and being accord in reserving the life into estate of
Appelle's leaving a remainder the Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior (see
deed of gift reserving life estate "CR-0518-0519"). thereafter Appellant
wishes to develop tracts sixth, and seventh in and out of Deed of Gift
7.
Reserving Life Estate (see letter "CR-0106" PROVISION iii), into
residential and commercial lots. Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior, and
Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior and Maria Estela G Saenz together sell
and convey each lot within the developed phases of property whereas three
(3) signatures truthfully conveyed the lots of the developed property
whereof title insurance accepted the property so long as the three signatures
were in record.
STATEMENT REGARDING PARTIAL ORAL ARGUMENT
The partial not needed oral argument is as follows;
1. Deed of Gift Reserving Life (CR-0759-0761) is made of seven (7) tracts.
In and out of seven (7) tracts within Deed of Gift Reserving Life, Tracts one
(1) through five (5) are not needing oral argument whereof within a factual
conveyance in operation of Law, whereof a liability was created
consummating a chain of title.
2. Thereafter Quit Claimed (CR-0762) all of their interest to Appellant by
the Appellee's for the exception of what is Reserved and Exception from
conveyance in and out of tracts six (6) and seven (7) are included within the
8.
Quit Claimed and Quit Claim for the exception of what is that the reserved
portion states that it is reserved from conveyance that RECORDED PLATS
FIRST PHASE CONSISTS OF EIGHT POINT TWENTY (8.20) ACRES
OF LAND, AND SECOND (2) PHASE CONSISTS OF NO MORE THAN
THREE (3.0) ACRES OF LAND WHEREAS ERRONEOUSLY
RESERVED FORM CONVEYANCE STATES THAT SECOND
CONSISTS OF FIFTEEN ACRES, AND NEEDS THE CORRECTION OF
THREE ACRES INSTEAD OF FIFTEEN ACRES RESERVED FROM
CONVEYANCE.
The partial oral argument request is recommended for clarity helping this
Court view understanding Appellee's frivolous law suit for the extort of
money, in filing a fraudulent Lis Pendens (CR-0710-0713) supported by an
aggravated false claim to sworn (CR-0706-0709), for the trespass to try
title, committing a Larceny offence, clouding Appellant's titles, whereas
Appellant is enforcing a matter of law Deed of Gift Reserving Life (CR-
0121-0123) containing seven tracts of land.
APPELLANT'S ISSUES
Issue 1. The trial court erred in characterizing the subject tract within
Warranty Deed Reserving Life Estate, Document No. 195456(CR-0518-
9.
0520), whereof within this document Warranty Deed Reserving Life Estate
document No. 195456 are seven different types of tracts of land that were
not in litigation nor litigated, and are different chain of title conveyances to
Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Jr. through Appellant Saenz Junior's sole
purchases, whereof all tracts within Warranty Deed Reserving Life Estate
are junction within Quit Deed 238439 ("CR-0686") Appellee's signed,
making all property tracts within Warranty Deed Reserving Life Estate
through a signed Quit Claim Deed the solely Osbaldo A. Saenz Jr. sole and
separate property's, (see below Deed of Gift Reserving Life Property
Tracts Arguments)
Issue 2. The trial court plainly erred in recognizing no characterizing the
production of evidence to ownership from Cross Appellant's was ever
produced to render judgment, and therefore makes Appellant Osbaldo A.
Saenz Jr. the sole owner of all tracts of land within the Warranty Deed
Reserving Life Estate document No. 195456.
Issue 3. The trial court plainly erred in characterizing Cross Appellant's
failure and continue to fail to challenge the Warranty Deed Reserving Life
Estate document 195456, and Quit Claim Deed 238439 signatures being
genuine contradicting Appellee's claim within Lis Pendens, whereas all
10.
property's within Warranty Deed Reserving Life Estate document No.
195456 continue to retain Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior as a remainder, and
continuing to consummate Osbaldo A. Saenz Jr. as the sole and separate
owner of all tracts within Warranty Deed Reserving Life Estate document
No. 195456, through Quit Claim Deed document No. 238439, of what has
been quit claimed by the unchallenged genuine endorsers, (see hand writing
experts findings (CR-0193 prior Judgment).
Issue 4. The trial court plainly erred to recognized that Cross Appellant's
have no Grounds nor Bases for this law suit claim whereas operation, and a
matter of law whereof Cross Appellant's are barred by estoppel by Laches,
and barred by estoppel by Deed, after the statue of limitation exhausted by
Cross Appellant's own recognition and knowledge cohabiting the owner
Osbaldo A. Saenz Jr., estoppel by contract (see bank loan deed of trust
documents, "CR-0154-0160"&CR-0133-0137 bank did not respect
incorporation and adopted deed as is)
Issue 5. Cross Appellant's drawn Settlement Agreement was the only way to
consummate the gain ofAppellant's property without proving either kind of
ownership evidence, whereof bar Cross Appellant's inability to Settle
without Grounds nor Bases to such claim, continuing being Osbaldo A.
11.
Saenz Jr. sole and separate property.
Issue 6. Trial Court plainly erred failing to enforce compelling 3 sets of
Appellee's discovery interrogatory's, productions, and admissions requested
by Appellant's. All property's belong to Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Jr.
assumption in default Judgment against Cross Appellant's.
Issue 7. The trial court abused Appellant and plainly erred its discretion in
rendering Judgment thereafter hearing Appellant's argument, and seeing
Appellant's written plea not being in accord with Appellee's agreement.
THE STATEMENT OF FACTS OBJECTING
The SIGNED JUDGMENT
Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Jr. challenged Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Sr.,
Maria Estela G Saenz Trust, and through its Trustee Esther A. S. Salmon's
version to avoid the possibility that their false, deceiving, version would be
accepted as true, Appellee's turning unsuccessful if would have challenged
all of recorded factual Appellants Trial Court Exhibits.
BACK GROUND OF THE CASE
(A.) Clearly specifies the difference between Appellant also known as
(aka) Ounce, and Appellee as Ounce Sr. (CR-0106, 5th paragraph I have
not spoken to Ounce in some time but it was my impression, through either
12.
talking to Estella "Appellant's mother", or to Ounce Sr. "Appellant's
Father")(CR-0106,1st paragraph, I enclosed a proposed deed to your
property to be signed by you and Estella ["Seller's] which you and Ounce
have been working on for these past 2 or 3 years.)
(B.) On or aboutApril 1995, Appellant upon entering an agreement to
purchase Share 8-D, & 31-A (CR-0104-0105 see letter addressed to
Alfeerdo S. Tijerina, reference Proposed Sale to Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior)
from Alfredo S. Tijerina as the Seller, [The Sixth & Seventh Tract within

Attorney John A. Pope III (CR-0104-0105, indicates the payment pattern for
the purchase of Shares 8-D & 31-A, and CR-0106, last paragraph, "Be that
as it may, if the purchase money has been paid in full you can sign the
documents (CR-0021-0022) and deliver it to either Ounce Sr., Ounce, Jr., or
return to me", is referenced to CR-0203, ck# $20,627.00, & CR-0177-

1037 Seller continued claiming interest after the purchase whereas proof
paid by Appellant) from the commencing ofAppellant's purchase Share 8-D
& 31-A, up to the completion (CR-0106, 5th paragraph, I have not spoken to
13.
Ounce in some time but it was my impression, through either talking to
Estella, or to Ounce Sr., that a good part, if not all of the purchase money
had been paid. I do not know if this is correct nor what amount was paid. I
do not need to know what arrangements you and Ounce Jr., had but I want
to caution you caution you that this document covers all of the property.) of
the purchase for the purposes of a proposed subdivision property described
hereinabove (CR-0106, provision iii, I understand that Ounce wants to build
a subdivision and there are very treacherous requirements on drilling within
a subdivision;).(CR-0108-0110, Atty. For Appellant writes giving notice to
Appellant ofAtty. Withdrawal and financially bills Appellant for
documentation services for purchasing Share 8-D, & 31-A, as noted on CR-
0109, partition deed, incorporation preparation, and deed of trust and note
totaling $1,200.00 as noted CR-0 111, receipt #1189 )

uncertainty of movement, or a stilted, drawn look to the writing line that did
not occur in the known signatures. The questioned documents shown in
natural variation, natural qualities and characteristics to the signatures. In

28.
1st ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITY
Standard for Granting the Amending Judgment
25. To prevail at amending judgment, Appellant has the burden of showing
there is no genuine issue of material fact and that Appellant is entitled to the
amendment ofjudgment as a matter of law. Gibbs v. General Motors Corp.
S. Ct, 450 S. W 2d 827; Nixon v. Mr. Property Management Co. Inc. 690 S.
W. 2d 546 (Tex. 1985). In deciding whether or not there is a disputed
material fact issue precluding amending judgment, evidence favorable to the
nonmoving will be taken as true. Coeden v. Bell, 300 S. W. 2d 286 (Tex.
1957).
26. Every Reasonable inference must be indulged in favor of non-movants
and any doubts resolved in their favor. Wilcox v. St. Mary's University ofSan
Antonio, 531 S. W. 2d 589 (Tex. 1975). When an Appellant moves for
amendment ofjudgment on the basis of an affirmative defense, as here
Appellant must conclusively prove all essential elements of that defense.
Swilley v. Hughes, 488 S. W. 2d 64 (Tex. 1972).
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS,
ESTOPEL BY DEED, ESTOPEL BY LACHES
Appellee's Are Time Barred from Asserting that the Deed of Gift and
29.
Quit Claim Deeds Are Fraudulent
27. Appellant is entitled to the amending the judgment and that Appellee's
take nothing by this suit because Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior has
pleaded and established by amendment judgment evidence each element of
the affirmative defense of limitations, barring any recovery by Appellee's on
the cause of action.
28. For limitations purposes, a cause of action generally accrues when a
wrongful act causes some legal injury, even if the fact of injury is not
discovered until later, and even if resulting damages has not yet occurred.
Trinity River Auth, v. urs Consultants, Inc. 889 S. W. 2d 259, 262 (Tex.
1994); Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v. Richards, 810 S. W. 2d 232, 233 (Tex.
App.-Houston [14th Dist] 1991, writ denied). Cert denied, 503 U.S. 1004;
112 S. Ct. 1759, 118 L. Ed. 2d 423 (1992).
29. With regard to tort actions, generally, the limitations period begins to
run at the time the duty owed was breached. Snyder v. Eanes Independent
School District, 860 S. W. 2d 692, 699 (Tex. App.-Austin 1993, writ denied)
30. A party's ignorance of material facts of lack of knowledge will ot
generally prevent the statute of limitations from running. In the
determination of when a cause of action accures is a question of law for the
30.
court. Fields v. City of Texas City, 864 S. W. 2d 66, 68 (Tex. App.-Houston
[14th Dist] 1993, writ denied) Moreno v. Sterling Drug, 787 S. W. 2d348,
351 (Tex. 1990). The legal injury in the instant case occurred when the
allegedly forged deed was signed.
31. Texas Courts have not invariably ignored the inability to know of the
existence of the cause of action in determining when such cause of action
accrues. For example, a cause of action based on actionable fraud accrues
when the fraud is discovered, or by the exercise of reasonable diligence
should have been discovered. Wise v. Anderson, 163 Tex. 608, 359 S. W. 2d
876 (Tex. 1962).
32. In still other instances, Texas courts have declined to find the limitations
bar inapplicable through the Appellee's admittedly knew nothing... [CR-
0355, page 63, lines 8-12 Q. Do you have any ; do you have knowledge of
any legal documents anywhere in this world that Mr. Saenz, Junior has
caused to be signed untruthfully? A. Well, like I said, that life estate I never
was aware of that.] about the cause of action until shortly before the
institution of his action. In reaching this result they were not unaware of the
individual injustice to the Appellee's but presumably that, on balance, the
need for repose counterbalance damage to the individual. S. V. v. R. V, 933
31.
S. W. 2d 1,4 (Tex. 1996).
Appellee's Claims Arising in Fraud Are Governed by a Four Year
Statue of Limitations
33. Appellee's Original Petition Claims that the signatures on the (CR-0759-
0761) 1998 Deed of Gift, and the (CR-0762) 2004 Quit Claim Deed are
[(CR-0094) 3rd Paragraph, The signatures of my wife's name and of my
name on these two instruments were forged by someone,] forged and were
actually made by assertion to show that the deeds are absolutely void and
not Subject to the four-year statute of limitation (CR-0653-0654, 2nd
Paragraph, The Court holds. Decrees an rules that the Deed Reserving Life
Estate recorded at Vol. 0799, pages 584-586, and also the Quitclaim Deed
recorded at Vol. 1002, pages 733, of the Deed Records of the Office of the
County Clerk of Starr County, Texas, are null and void and further, that
these two cancelled instruments will not be considered as being part of the
chain of title to any of the lands mentioned or described in these two
revoked instruments).
34. On all State Trial Court hearings, Appellee's, and Appellants have each
filed for Summary Judgment which evident numerously and have shown
that each case the notary public who acknowledged the signatures attests
32.
that Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior and Maria Estela G Saenz
personally appeared and executed the documents in question.
35. The evidence set out above establishes the affirmative defense in that
Plaintiffs failed to file and perfect their claims within the four-year statue of
limitations which would be the longest limitations period based on any other
legal theory arising from a defect in the execution of the deeds in question.
Since the evidence establishes that Appellee's did sign the documents, the
only legal theory which would permit them to avoid the deeds is that they
were tricked into signing the documents.
36. Appellant is entitled to the Amending of the Judgment against the
Appellee's Claim that they did not sign either the Deed of Gift Reserving
Life dated February 01,1998, or the Quit Claim Deed dated May 20, 2004,
because APPELLEE'S FAILED TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM IN A TIMELY
MANNER.
37. Appellee's seek to recover clear title to real estate based upon the claim
that they din not sign the two documents that show on their face that they
were duly attested before notary publics and timely filed of record.
38.The (CR-0626-0628) Deed of Gift Reserving Life is Dated FebruaryOl,
1998. Bears a filed stamp dated February 24,1998.
33.
39. The (CR-0629) Quit Claim Deed is Dated, May 20, 2004. Bears a filed
stamp dated May 21, 2004.
40. The Appellee's filed their law suit on April 08, 2008. Although
Appellant is Appellee's son, they took no steps to serve him with process.
41. Appellant appeared in the suit by attorney of record following the entry
of prospective intervenors in the state law suit, and without ever feceiving
service ofAppellee's suit. Appellant entered his appearance on October02,
2008.
42. A cause of action for fraud is subject to the four-year statute of
limitations. Section 16.004 of the Civil Practices & Remedies code provides
in pertinent part:
FOUR-YEAR LIMITATIONS PERIOD, (a) a person must bring suit
on the following actions not later than four years after the day the
cause of action accrues... (4) fraud.
43. As a general rule, the limitations period begins to run when a cause
action accrues. Athins v. Crossland, 417 S. W. 2d 150,152 (Tex. 1967).
In the case of actionable fraud, however, limitation begins to run when the
fraud is discovered or from the time the might have been discovered through
the exercise of reasonable diligence. Gaddis v. Smith, 417 S. E. 2d 577,
579 (Tex. 1967).
34.
44. A person is charged with constructive knowledge of the actual
knowledge that could have ben disclosed by examination of the public
records. When examination of public records will disclose evidence of
fraud, the Texas Supreme Court has held limitations wil begin ti run from
the date of filing after which the fraud could have been discovered by the
exercise of reasonable diligence. Mooney v. Harlin, 622 S. W. 2d 83,85
(Tex. 1981.) Constructive notice creates and irrefutable presumption of
actual notice. University State Bank v. Gifford-Hill Concrete Corp., 431
S. W. 2d 561, 570 (Tex. Civ. App.- Fort Worth 1068,n. r. e.).
45. The Austin Court ofAppeals pointed out that the constructive notice
extends to facts reflected on the face of the document. Here, Appellee's
claim that they did not sign the Quit Claim Deed that conveyed the retained
life estate to Appellant. This is a fact clearly reflected in the face of the
Deed. Movant has met his burden at [CR-0011-0031,DC-12-520] on or
before order of dismissal of intervener's claims with (CR-0652) prejudice to
re-file and (CR-0653) Final Judgment to show the Appellee's should have
discovered the fraud of which they complain before the four-year statute
limitations ran, timely filed suit and obtained service ofAppellant.
46. Based upon the standard adoped by the Supreme Court, the limitations
35.
period to complain of fraud in the execution of the Deed of Gift ran on
February, 24, 2002, four-years after the filing date of the Deed.
47. Appellee's failed to file their suit until more than four years after
limitations had barred their claim that the Deed did not bear their signatures.
They are barred from maintaining this claim as a MATTER OF LAW.
Limitations Continued to Run Since Appellee's Failed to Exercise
Diligence in Serving Appellant.
48. The statute of limitations to complain of fraud in the execution of the
Quit Claim Deed ran on May,20, 2008, again four years from the date on
which the Quit Claim was filed.
49. Appellee's filed their suit seeking to set aside the Deeds on April 08,
2008, within the applicable four-year limitations period.
50. However, when the Appellee's filed their law suit within the limitations
period but did not serve the Appellant until after the period expires, the
filing of the suit alone does not interrupt the running of limitations. Murray
v. San Jacinto Agency, Inc. 800 S. W. 2d 826, 830 (Tex. 1990) The
Appellee's must exercise due diligence in the issuance and service of

"The Title Chain" numerated
1. (CR-0012, DC-12-520) "A." Ms. Ana Maria Valverde Saenz executed a
Deed of Gift conveying all her property interest to her Four (4) sons and
Three (3) daughters. The Deed f Gift was filed in Starr County under file
Number 112555 (CR-0018-0019, DC-12-520) and conveyed a total of Four

The First Tract contained Six (6) Hundred Forty-Two and Three tenths
(642.3) acres lying in and forming part and portion of Survey No. Eighty
(80), Certificate 121, ACH & B and being particularly described by meets of
39.
bounds, (see deed CR-0018-0020).
2. (CR-0012, DC-12-520) "B." The 642.3 acres were gifted equally among
the children, Pablo A. Saenz Junior, Ana Maria Saenz, Severiano Daniel
Saenz, Osbaldo A. Saenz, Elalia Saenz Sanchez, Sabina Saenz Santoscoy,

5. (CR-0013, DC-12-520) "E." On or about May 2, 1985, Severiano Daniel
Saenz conveyed his approximate 91 acres to Appellant OsbaldoA. Saenz
Junior (see deed CR-0025-0026, DC-12-520).
"Appellee's Conveyance Argument"
Hereinabove provision number Four (# 4) (CR-0012, DC-12-520) "D."
40.
Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior intentions were to only convey 91 acres
within deed (CR-0021-0022, DC-12-520) document 142663 and dated
April 5, 1988 to Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior, whereas Appellee's
argue that conveyance took place stating within deed (CR-0024, DC-12-
520) just above the signature execution, Appellant did not only convey
ninety one (91) acres but whether Appellant's interest is greater of less than
the interest acquired by me by and through the above referred to deed, it is
my intention to convey the grantee Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior all of my right,
title and interest in and to the above descried Survey No. 80., whereas
Appellee's intentionally and knowingly re-convey to Appellant all of
Appellee's RIGHTS, TITLE and INTEREST within Survey Eighty (80).(see
CR-0029, Tract Five, DC-12-520), Tract Five "All of Grantor's right, title
and interest in and to Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County,
Texas ".
6. (CR-0013, DC-12-520) "F." On or about February 1, 1998 Appellee's
Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior and Maria Estela Garza Saenz executed a Deed of
Gift Reserving Life Estate to Appellant, Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior (CR-
0028-0030, DC-12-520) The Deed of Gift conveyed seven tracts of land to
Appellant OsbaldoA. Saenz Junior [For purposes of this action, only tract is
41.
material and relevant.] According to the Deed of Gift Reserving Life Estate,
under "Fifth Tract", Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior and Maria Estela
Garza Saenz conveyed " All of Grantor's right, title and interest in and to
Survey No. Eighty (80), Abstract 898, Starr County, Texas."
7. (CR-0013,DC-12-520) "G" On or about May 20, 2004, Appellee's
Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior, and Maria Estela Garza Saenz executed a Quit
Claim Deed in favor ofAppellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior conveying their
interest previously reserved under the 1998 Deed of Gift Reserving Life
Estate. Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior, and Maria Estela Garza Saenz
reserved two tracts of land from the conveyance under the Quit Claim Deed;
an 8.20 acre tract, and a 15 acre tract considered first and second phase, (see
CR-0031, DC-12-520).
8. (CR-0013,DC-12-520) "H" Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior was
recently told that he has no interest in the 642.3 acres that his late grand
mother left. Appellant was stunned and shaken to learn that has father,
Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior herein, is fighting his son for the land.
Appellant has improved, enhanced, and enriched the land for over twenty
(20) years.
9. (CR-0013, DC-12-520) "I" Appellant's Uncle, Severiano Daniel Saenz,
42.
conveyed the approximate 91 acres to Appellant in 1985 (CR-0025-0026).
Since this time, Appellant has worked on the land, improved the land, made
ingress and egress access roads, managed wild life, and invested significant
amounts of resources on the land.
10. (CR-0014, DC-12-520) "J." Just recently, Appellant's father, Appellee's
Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior, revealed to Appellant that he was going to fight to
kick Appellant off the land and argue that the 91 acres conveyed by
Appellan's Uncle Severiano Daniel Saenz in 1985 are no longer Appellant's.
Appellee's contends that the 1992 Warrant Deed from Appellant to
Appellee's obliterates interest in the land.
APPELLANT'S ARGUMENT (CR-0014, DC-12-520)
A. Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior received approximately
91.757 acres in and out of Survey No.80 from his mother Ana Maria
Valverde Saenz in 1982. Then Appellee's received another 91.757 acres
from his son, Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior, on August 4, 1992, out of
Survey No. 80; for a total of approximately 183.514 acres.
B. Now, Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior is claiming and
demanding another 91.575 acres from Appellant Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior.
Appellee's argues and points to a 1992 Warranty Deed (CR-0023-0024,
43.
DC-12-520) wherein Appellant conveyed certian acres out of survey No. 80
to Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior. In 1992, Appellant Osbaldo A.
Saenz Junior owned a total of approximately 183.514 acres in Survey No.
80. Appellant decided to give approximately half of the acres to Appellee's
Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior "Appellant's Father", Appellee's herein.
Appellant's specific intent was to give the 91.438 acres Appellant Osbaldo
A. Saenz Junior acquired from Mr. Pablo A. Saenz Junior. Thus, a Warranty
Deed (CR-0023-0024, DC-12-520)was prepared with the specific reference
made in paragraph three stating "Reference is made to that certain Deed
from PABLO A. SAENZ JUNIOR... which Deed is dated April 5, 1988 and
recorded in Volume 572, Page 403-404". Furthermore, the Deed specifically
declares in th same paragraph: "It is the intention of the Grantor to grant
and convey the interest acquired by Grantor Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior by and
through the above referred to Deed said Deed stating that the interest
conveyed was an undivided 91.438 acres. "(Emphasis added by author)
Therefore, Appellant's Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior specific intent was to
convey only 91.438 acres to Appellee's." Appellee's, however, argues that
the last paragraph ofthe Deed actually transfers all ofAppellant's interest,
the entire 183.514 acres. Appellee's points to the last paragraph which
44.
reads: "whether my interest is greater of less than the interest acquired by
me by and through the above referred to Deed, it is my intention to convey
to Grantee Osbaldo A. Saenz all of my right, title and interest in and to the
above described Survey No. 80."
APPELLANT'S Osbaldo A. Saenz Junior's position, however, is that
the words in the Deed must be interpreted in context of the rest of the Deed.
In fact, under contract and real estate law, when general language conflicts
with specific language, the specific language governs. The prevailing rule in
Texas states that if general words are used in connection with specific
words, the specific words generally follow the intention of the party with
greater exactness, and accordingly the general terms thus used are to be
regarded as limited by the specific words. Additionally, case law holds that
if one interpretation would or could leadto an absurd result, and the other
interpretation would avoid an absurd result, the interpretation that avoids a
harsh, absurd, or unjust result should apply.
Thus, because specific references made throughout the (CR-0023-
0024, DC-12-520)1992 Deed to the (CR-0021-0022, DC-12-520)1988 Deed
from Mr. Pablo Saenz Junior, the general words in the last paragraph are to
be restricted and limited as applying only to the (CR-0021, DC-12-520)
45.
1988 Deed referenced. Accordingly, the conveyances from Appellant to
Appellee's pursuant to the 1992 Warranty Deed is only the 91.438 acres of
Survey 80. Thus, the remaining approximate 91 acres are rightfully and
legally Appellant's.
C. Additionally, the last paragraph Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz
Seniorcites to support his contention does not even specifically identify the
Appellee's as the Grantee.
D. Arguing in the alternative, and employing Appellee's reasoning
and logic, Appellant is actually entitled to the entire 275.271 acres of
Survey No. 80. OnMay 20, 2004, Appellee's Osbaldo A. Saenz Senior, and
his late wife Maria Estela Garza Saenz executed a Quit Claim Deed and
Conveyed all of their property to Appellant except an 8.20 acre tract of land
and a QUESTIONABLE 15 acre tract, or the amount in acreage would show
on record second (2nd)phase is consisting of within El Sendero Perdido
Subdivision, Rio Grande City, Texas 78582 (CR-0031, DC-12-520). The
Deed of Gift Reserving Life (CR-0028-0030, DC-12-520) specifically
states withinTract five, that Appellee's Conveyed "ALL OF GRANTOR'S
RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST INAND TO SURVEY 80, and thereafter
QUIT CLAIMED ON TO APPELLANT (CR-0031, DC-12-520).
46.
Accordingly, because of this granting and agendum clause, the approximate
275.271 acres of Survey 80 are rightfully and legally Appellant's.

0036

FACTS
6. On or about February 1,1998, Defendant, Osbaldo A. Saenz, Sr. and Maria Estela

(Exhibit 1) The Deed of Gift conveyed seven tracts of land to Plaintiff, Osbaldo A. Saenz, Jr.
[For purposes of this application, however, only Tract Five is material and relevant] Tract Five
contains arguably 275.271 acres in Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas.
According to said Deed, Defendant Osbaldo A. Saenz, Sr. and the late Maria Estela Garza Saenz
conveyed all their interest in Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas to Plaintiff.
7. Furthermore, on May 20,2004, Defendant conveyed outright his entire interest of
these 275.271 acres in Survey No. 80, Abstract 898, Starr County, Texas, by way of a Quit Claim
Deed to Plaintiff. (Exhibit 2)
8. Moreover, Plaintiff is the record owner ofapproximately 91 acres in SurveyNo.
80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas, by way of Deed dated May 2,1985. (See Exhibit 3)
9. Notwithstanding these apparent, obvious, and recorded Deeds, Defendant and
Defendant's Trustee have recently obstructed, interfered, and restricted Plaintiffs use and

authorities and trying to remove Plaintiffand/or Plaintiffs family and friends from the property.
0037
10. Unless OSBALDO SAENZ, SR., Defendant herein, and his agents, servants, and
successors are immediately enjoined and restrained, Defendant and his agents, servants, and
successors will continue obstructing, disturbing, and interfering with Plaintiffs quite use and
enjoyment of his property in Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas.
ELEMENTS FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
11. In light of the above described facts, Plaintiff seeks recovery from Defendants and
thus filed suit for Declaratory Judgment.
12. Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits of this lawsuit because of the recorded
and authenticated conveyances.
13. Unless this Honorable Court immediately restrains the Defendant, and his agents,
servant, and successors, the Plaintiff will suffer immediate and irreparable injury, for which there
is no adequate remedy at law to give Plaintiff complete, final and equal relief. More
specifically, Plaintiff will show the court that many of his items that were once located on this
property have been stolen; and some cows have also been killed and the remains dumped on his
property. Furthermore, Plaintiff will show that Defendant threaten and physically assaulted
Plaintiffs friend by using Defendant's vehicle to pin the gentlemaninside a deer-blind.
A. The harm to Plaintiff is imminent because Defendant and Defendant's
agent have statedthat they will immediately change to locks to the property and prevent
Plaintiff from accessing his lands.
B. This imminent harm will cause Plaintiff irreparable injury.
C. There is no adequate remedy at law which will give Plaintiffcomplete,
final and equal relief.
0038
BOND
14. Plaintiff is willing to post a reasonable temporary restraining order bond and
requests the court to set such bond.
REMEDY
15. Plaintiff has met Plaintiffs burden by establishing each element which must be
present before injunctive relief can be granted by this court, therefore Plaintiff is entitled to the
requested temporary restraining order.
16. Plaintiffrequests the courtto restrainDefendant and Defendant's agents, servants,
and successors from changing the locks of the property and from interfering with Plaintiffs use
and enjoyment of his land in SurveyNo. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas.

SAENZ, SR., Defendant and Defendant's agents, servants, and employees, from changing the
locks of the property and from interfering with Plaintiffs use and enjoyment of his land in
Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas. It is essential that the court act
immediately, prior to giving notice to Defendantand a hearing on the matter.
18. In order to preserve the status quo during the pendency of this action, Plaintiff
requests that the Defendant be temporarily enjoined from changing the locks of the property and
interfering with Plaintiffs use and enjoyment of his land in Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898,
Starr County, Texas.
19. On final trial on the merits, that the Court permanently enjoin OSBALDO

AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared OSBALDO SAENZ, JR,
who being duly sworn,deposed as follows:
"Myname is OSBALDO SAENZ, JR. I am at least 18 years of age and of sound mind.
I am personally acquainted with the facts allegedherein.
"Back on May 2, 1985,1 purchased approximately 91 acres from my uncle Serveriano
Saenz in Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas. Then on February 1,1998, my
parents, Osbalado A. Saenz, Sr. and Maria Estela Garza Saenz gave me their interest in Survey
No. 80, Abstract No. 898, Starr County, Texas. However, they reserved a Life Estate into this
property at that time. Then, on May 20, 2004, my parents no longer wanted to retain a Life
Estate and so they Deeded me the entire property in Survey No. 80, Abstract No. 898 without
restriction. I have helped out my mom and dad for all these years by giving them money,
property, and taking real good care of them. That is partof the reason whythey decided to give
me the land.
I have always worked on the land, improved it, negotiated several oil leases on it, and
0052
maintained it. Everything was perfect; until recently. I found out that my dad was using my
property to store and house illegal aliens and I confronted him with this information. My dad
was upset and since then he has been on an attack against me. The sad thing is that he has
involved my sisters and brothers and has torn the family apart.
Now, my dad and my sister, the Trustee of the Trust, have been seriously interfering with
my land and calling the authorities to try to kick me off my land. Also, I have periodically
allowed my uncle, nephew, and friends to hunt on my property and my dad and my sister have
tried to remove them by calling the police. In fact, my dad threatened and physically assaulted a
good friend of mine that was hunting.
Also, they have been telling people that they are going to kick me out of my property and
change the locks.
I am respectfully requesting a Temporary Restraining Order to keep them from doing all
these horrible things. This is my property and I have all the necessary Deeds in my name.
Please put a stop to this and stop my dad and all his people from changing my lock and
interfering with my land.
"Further affiant sayeth not."
