CAUSE: 2001-CI-16843 ^ <\ MICHAEL THOMAS PAUL (PLAINTIFF) § IN THE DISTRICT COURr. o c VS § # 225 U. "- GREG AB30T ATTORNEY GENERAL § ' "~ FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS (DEFENDANT) § BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TO DISTRICT COURT'S ATTORNIES CLAIM OF NON INDIGENCY OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE FRIVILOUS APPEAL pLAINTIFF is pro se. The hearing set and heard in presiding court Bexar County on _. December 5th, 2014 was requested by DINAH GAINES, Chief Staff Attorney, Bexar^ S ~<7£ County Civil District Courts as a malicious filing in an attempt to silence this cait^oiice m :~o and for all. Let it be known that respondents first attorney RANDOLPH V. GONfZ^LEZ £ ^ =■'; - SBN:08131200 appeared October 17 and filed a motion for continuance statingjjiat no s» '■€: -i- notice had been given per Tex. R. Civ. P. 21 and that he needed more time to pre£&re im ^p _■'_ answer .since he was unfamiliar with the particulars of the filed suit. Plaintiff will show ca : :■ E-file and E-serve confirmation on October 06. 2014 to Attorney General who sent Mr. GONZALEZ because he had represented the defendant in Justice Court, Comal County. Texas on September 20th, 2014 regarding this exact issue. Plaintiff never having had to plea a civil case and who had not been in a civil courtr since 2002 was unfamiliar with the TexasRules of Civil Procedure when he filed in small claims court for S10.000 plus damages and other relief as the court would see fit. Because there was a lack of concurrent inherent jurisdiction the Justice slated she was not eligible to make any rulings and had to grant the defendants motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Again being a novice Propia Persona litigant Plaintiff was unaware regarding the legalese language when the judge granted the motion with prejudice vs. no prejudice, or he would ha\e objected to the motion. Plaintiff stopped at the clerks office before leaving the facility as to enquire of the Judge if he needed to file in Bexar County which was the correct court having jurisdiction or was an appeal necessary first. The clerk returned and stated that the judge said if he wanted to file an appeal it must be done within 10 days page 1 of 8 and he was freeto make his own decision since they could not give legal advice. Plaintiff believing that he just needed to file in the proper court that retains jurisdiction in family court cases as dedicated by the Judicial Court System in TEXAS and the states constatulion designating the 225th of Bexar county as a family court and was the originating court being the court of inherant and concurrent jurisdiction making it the only court allowed to hear pleadings regarding this cause. Plaintiff attempted to efilc the ncessarydocumentation to reopen the initial cause which is the subject of this suit but was deniedby the clerks office on more than one occasion. The First time was told that this cause isclosed and that a new affidavit of Indigency had to be submitted to file in original cause. Plaintiff filed in person and submitted new affidavits of inability to pay court costs stamped September 22. 2014 with two stamped copies sent for service of notice by the Sheriff and set the matter for hearing October 5th. The next afternoon the Plaintiff receives an email from the district clerks office stating that the petition submitted had nothing to do with the original divorce and it was being issued a new cause number. Plaintiff replied to the email stating that the petition was everything to do regarding thedivorce proceeding and if the clerks office attempted to bypass the record then plaintiffwould be forced to report the issue for a judicial review. October 05th. 2014 healing in presiding was scheduled when initial filing was done September, 22. 2014. Plaintiff wasnot on the docket for the case he filed into but instead had received a new case number from the clerks office and was asked if he could show service to the opposing party. Plaintiff didn't receive the return of service from the sheriff as required so he asked for the courts leave to return to the District Clerk who was to effect service where he was told that since the cause number was a new one he would need to refile requests for service under the new number as the notices were not served. Plintiff enquired to the clerk he sent the reply email to on September 23 and was told by the clerk that he was told to do it. Plaintiff demanded the filing be placed into the original cause and had to complete another setof request for service which was a duplicate to what was filed on September 22, 2014. Plaintiff returned to presiding court and made a formal complaint to the court clerk regarding the intentional misfiling of his petition and requests for service and asked if the judge would sec him. Because the presiding judge was still on the bench and hadoverheard the conversation she agreed to hear from the plaintiff but stated she could make no ruleings regarding the petition for temporary injunction and declaratory relief without showing proof of service. page 2 of 8 After reading the petition and seeing the attached exhibits as evidence regarding the petition for declaratory relief and temporary injunction the presiding judge stated that theplaintiff should go out front and file a selling for a new dale. Plaintiff did as insiructedand was giving the earliest date October 17. that the court was hearing newly docketed pleas then proceeded to give notice tothe defense regarding the new date. There has been multiple attempts to keep this case from being justly adjudicated and plaintiff contends that the district clerks office including the staffattorney are corrupt and have violated procedures and even laws regarding the theft of Federal Benefits in excess of $11.600 from plaintiffs Social Security Disability. Plaintiff learned through the staff attorney before she knew whom he was. that there had been no filings in the original case since the divorce decree of May 2002. Upon learning this information plaintiff began to suspect that there was more than just the intentional filing of a civil judgment claiming he owed $5,140.00 to the state and it appeared on his credit reports causing emotional distress, pain and suffering and his public image was so defamed to make him appear as a DEAD BEAT DAD for not paying his child support as ordered by the court. The only problem with that is a Termination Order relinquishing the parent child relalionshipwith his daughter that ordered ex partc in December of 2004 ending with "no other relief so ordered." Had the plaintiff been so behind in his support to the child it would have been pleaded heavily by the state and a request for an order for contempt to compel payment issued. Yet the state made no claims and the Oblige also made no claims as to not receiving support payments. Then 6 months after the termination the US Social Security Administration receives a second writ for withholding for garnishment of wages that continue through 2008 when plaintiff finally learns that the withholding was being paid to the state of Texas and not his son in California, accumulating to $11,600 as reported by an audit he initiated after providing the order to the administration from the December 2004 termination which slopped the garnishments administratively from further payment. Plaintiff then received a court stamped judgment for an additional $5140.00 lien and was issued against REAL property had the plaintiff had any. Plaintiff telephoned the District clerk and stated that he owed nothing and that he was a victim of theft by deception and that the lien was not dully owed. The clerkstated that he needed to contact the attorney generals office directly which is what he didand was immediately told that they wouldconducl an internal investigation and would get back with him. But more than likely the money had been paid to the oblige, plaintiffs ex wife and that if that were the case then he would need to take her to court to recover his money. page 3 of 8 Every time plaintiff would call Austin to the office of the attorney general to inquire of the investigation he was placed on hold lor 15 io twenty minutes before anyone would reply and their answer was always we slill are doing an investigation but rest assured as soon as we determine what has happened you will be the first to know. Then in 2013 Plaintiff learns that the civiljudgment had been reported to all three major credit bureaus and when he would inquire they would always state that they had verified the claim and he owed it. Plaintiff requested investigations to the factual legitimacy of the lien but was never given any reply. Then in 2014 when il was still appearing on his credit reports, plaintiff gave written notice to cure the defect or face civil penalty upon which the investigations concluded that there was an error and the civil judgments were deleted. Plaintiff states Judgments as plurai since there was also a fraudulent claim from Salano County California showing as receiving payments for child support and even had claimed some as 30-60-90 late but the account was showing paid and current. That is why Plaintiff thought the payments were lor his son in California. The reporting bureau has sent a letter showingcomplcte deletion of these false claims. It is at this point in time that plaintiff filed formally with the Attorney Generals Chief Ombudsman requesting relief to have what was removed from him returned. No statements of suit seeking extra damages just return what was wrongfully taken. Since the Office of the attorney general Chief Ombudsman is to initiate the report and contact the reporting party every quarter until final resolution and no administrative claim can be made that the investigation is completed and close the complaint which is required by the Texas Government code. Plaintiff learned through the district clerks new online eservice thai the court record showed 5 entries between 2003 and 2008 and plaintiff stated that no notice had been given per Tex. R. Civ. P. 21 not once but twice regarding the entries in the clerks database as to appear that orders were entered by a judge. Plaintiff has since learned in the filing of this petition that the entries are just that. Entries with no supporting documentation or actual orders issued by a district judge and the first was a change in place of payment and payee from 2003 which led plaintiff to believe the entire time that the money was redirected to someone other than the original oblige and here he was being told up until September that he needed to try and get it from the oblige. page 4 of 8 The OAG's office of child support enforcmcm and Mary Morton and her representing lawyer Mr. Randolph V. Gon/.alcs SBN 08131200 filed their answer in Justice court stating that his only recourse is to sue the oblige as he has non other, because they didn't have his money. Between the intentional deceptive tricks and tactics to keep plaintiff from recovering his money that was illegally seized and entries in the clerks database that have no basis in fact other than they just appeared 2 years ago when they weren't' there the year before. And a payment record given lo plaintiff by the assistant attorney general Randolph Gonzalez which states that only $7,462.89 was ever owed and collected by the OAG child support enforcement division is just another of the non truthes entered by the office ofthe attorney general in this cause especially since there was an official audit by the Social Security Administration and subsequent stamped copy of payments from local officeclearly showing $1 L600.00 makes the entry of a fraudulent court document filed which constitutes acommission of a crime since the supposed judgment with lien was aginst real property in the state. It is at this point in time where plaintiff demands a judicial review of the district clerks office of Bexar County Texas and there conspiracy to hide the truth and to continuously harass the plaintiff and file against a known physically disabled and indigent citizen claiming he is not indigent toprotect those that knowingly forged the electronic database. Plaintiff further request sanctions against the District Court Attorney as well as sanctions against the office of the attorney generals which has and continues to file mis statements of fact and will even have an assistant attorney general commit perjury in open court to delay the hearing so a new motion can be filed and heard before a retired comptroler ofthe State who ignores facts, has no record before him and doesn't recognize case law such as the stripping doctrine. Pending filed motions that needed to be addressed were summerily over ruled before the defendants ineligible claim to sovereign immunity which was pleaded claiming there was never a authorization nor agreement by the state lo waive thier immunity and thus granted the dismissal of plaintifs claims with perjudice and stating that this case has been fully adjudicated and can not be heard again even though the state legislature has deemed the only reason for suit against the individual in his capacity as an employee ofthe state. The only real motion for dismissal is the one not attempted for limitations. But Plaintiff has been sent a demand for payment from an automobile accident he had last June 5 where the guard rail and cable was damaged when his automible struck the page 5 of 8 center devider on loop 1604 and lh 35 interchange totaling his 2012 K.IA and leaving him no transportation. The Department of Motor Vehicles demanded payment for said obligation and sent him a demand for payment letter. Fortunatly the plaintiff had comprehensive and collission insurance which not only replaced his totaled vehicle but also paid the demand from the state which stated that there is no limitations to an obligation owed under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code chapter 16 16.061 'Rights not Barred1. Wherefore the Sovereign state assumes a position when an obligation is due: Plaintiff now assumes that same position as afforded the sovereign since the plaintiff is sovereign himself least a document can be produced by the State which clearly denies the plaintiff the right to soverignity. Under this premis of the same position as the state regarding an obligation to return said obligation owed for a claim of damage to the sovereign. Plaintiff seeks return of sovereign's obligation to the plaintiff since there is nothing in the laws of texas that clearly states that the sovereign can keep property which clearly belongs to another. The plaintiff would pray this court to make all orders sought for the futherance of justice. And to notify all those that would use the power of this court to take advantage of others through trickery and deception presented to this honerable court, that if coughl they will pay a heavy price. Pleader attests that the statements made in this affadavit are truthful and accurate to the best of his knowledge and attests to the same here on.

TEXAS THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL CHILD SUPPORT DIVISION AND MARY MORTON'S TRIAL BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND MARY MORTON'S MOTION TO DISMISS ON PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: The OFFICn OF THK ATI ORNEY GENERAL CHILD SUPPORT DIVISION and it's employee, MARY MORTON, (hereinafter Movanls) filed a plea to the jurisdiction objecting ro the court's excrciso of subject mutter jurisdiction over the cause of action as alleged by Plaintiffs, MICHAEL THOMAS PAUI.'s. (hereinafter Non-Movam) Revised Petition and requests the Court to dismiss Plaintiffs cau.se of action on the Plea to the Jurisdiction, and in support thereof, shows the Court the following: I. FACTS/PROCEDURAL HISTORY A. On August 11, 2014, Non-Movant. \\ICHAP.I. THOMAS PALI., filed his lawsuit alleging over payments on court ordered child support payments to the custodial parent for over a three year period. Non-Movant seeks monetary relief from the Movanls. in the amount of $10,000 plus damages for 'REAL PHYSICAL HARM" and statutory interest and court costs. H. Non-Movanl alleges thai Movjiiiw provided child support services to the custodial parent and continued u, withhold support after the support obligation legally u :minnted. C. Non-Movant further alleges that MovanLs Hied a false claim in State District Court to "gamer Civil Judgment that appears/appeared on personal Credit Bureau". D. Non-Movant does not plead facts indicating a constitutional provision or statute that clearly and unambiguously waives sovereign immunity in these various claims. E. Non-Movanl does not plead facts indicating the Legislature's consent to pursue this suit against the stale or a public official. F. In I heir individuul capacities, the Movants, and all persons acting on behalf of the State of Texas participating in ihi.s cause have sovereign und official or quasi-judicial immunity from .suits or liability for attorney's fees. EXHIBIT: ASSISTANT ATTORNY GENERAL GONZALEZ PURJURY CLAIM TO JUDGE MERY.NO SERVICE, DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CASE TO DELAY THE COURT -NOVEMBER-17^044=— - monetarv judgments, damages or other monetary relief, except as provided by law, when aeting within the discretion, course, and scope of their official duties at all times relevant to Non-Movanl's claims. II. ARGUMENTS ON PI PA TO THE .nmiSDICTlON A. Movants can demonstrate that ihis Court does not have suhjeel mailer jurisdiction over this cause of action and thai Non-Movant*s cause of action should be dismissed on the plea lo the jurisdiction on the contentions and affirmative defenses set forth herein based on the doctrine of sovereign immunity. B. Movants pled both a plea to the jurisdiction on the doctrine of sovereign immunity and raised the affirmative defense of sovereign immunity to Non-Movanl's claims. The doctrine of sovereign immunity appliesto lawsuits seeking lo award monetary relief against governmental entities and their employees or public officials unless a constitutional provision or statute clearly and unambiguously waives sovereign immunity from suit. This is true regardless of whether Movant has asserted a valid claim or ultra vires conduct; a violation of due process rights; or ihe intentional tort of fraud. No matter how Non-Movant couches his pleading, what is sought is a money judgment for the alleged overpayment of child support in an amounl in excess of SI 0,000 plus damages tor 'REAL PHYSICAL HARM'" and statutory interest and court costs from Movants, undisputedly a governmental emily and its employee. Non-Movant. however, has failed to identify any constitutional provision or statute that clearly and unambiguously waives sovereign immunity from suit. ITie Non-Movant is precluded from seeking monetary relief from the Movant or any of its employees on any of his alleged claims. C. Non-Movant's exclusive remedy for support paid in excess of the support order is found in Texas Family Code Provision § 154.012. This provision provides thai if an Obligor is not in arrears and the Obligor's child support obligation has ended, the Obligee shall return excess proceeds to the obligor. An Obligor can file suit to recover a child support payment in excess of Ihe support obligation against the Obligee. Movants had closed its case in April 2009, shortly after being informed lhal Non-Movanfs parental rights had been terminated in 2005. Neither the Non-Movant or the Obligee had previously informed the Movants of said termination order prior lo 2008. There is no legal basis for payment by Non-Movant of the excess proceeds. Non-Movanl's sole remedy is a suit against the Obligee pursuant to Section 154.012. III. AUTHORITIES ON PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY GENERALL Y A. Governmental immunity from suit defeats a trial court's subject matter jurisdiction and is properly asserted by a plea to the jurisdiction. Texas Dcpl. of Transportation v. Jones, 8 S.W. 3d 636. 637 (Tex. 1999). Whether a court has subject matter jurisdiction is a question of law. Texas Natural Resources Conservation Comm'u v. IT-Davy, 74 S.W. 3d 849. 855 (Tex. 2002). Sovereign immunity deprives a trial court of subject matter jurisdiction in suits against EXHIBIT: ASSISTANT ATTORNY GENERAL GONZALEZ PURJURY CLAIM TO JUDGE MERY.NO SERVICE, DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CASE TO DELAY THE COURT NOVEMBER 17.2014. the State and its agencies and officials, unless the State has clearly and unambiguously consented to be sued..See Tex. Dep't ofParks and Wildlife v. Miranda. 133 S.W.ld 217,224 (Tex. 2004). Moreover, because sovereign immunity from suit deprives a trial court of subject-matter jurisdiction, it cannot he waived and may be raised at any time.,SV'. t/niv., 951 5>.W.2ci 401. 405 (Tex. 1997) (.state agencies are immune from liability in Texas unless the Legislature waives that immunity): \ee ahu TF.X. GOV'T CODE § 311.034 (codifying common-law standard for immunity waiver: "[A] statute shall not he construed as a waiver of sovereign immunity unless the waiver is affected by clear and unambiguous language."). CLAIM AGAINSTMARY MORTOX A. Absent waiver by the legislature, sovereign immunity generally deprives courts of subject-matter jurisdiction over suits against the State., its agencies, or officer* or employees acting within I heir official capacity. See Citv of F.I Paw v. Heinrich, 284 S.W.3d 366, 369-76 (Tex. 2009). In its attempt to invoke this court's subject-matter jurisdiction. Ntm-Movant, sues MARY MOR ION, an employee of the OFFICE OK THK ATTORNEY GENERAL CHILD SI.IM'ORTDI VISION. See id. at 372-73, 377. Sovereign immunity does not bar suits for prospective injunctive or decluraton relief to restrain the official from violating statutory or constitutional provisions because, in concept, acts of stale official* ihat are not lawfully .iiithoi \/tn\ nru nui considered to be acts of" the State, and ihe remedy of compelling EXHIBIT: ASSISTANT ATTORNY GENERAL GONZALEZ PURJURY CLAIM TO JUDGE MERY,NO SERVICE, DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THISjCASE TQ DELAYTHE COURT NOVEMBER 17,2014. such officials to comply with (he law, while binding on the Slate, does not attempt to exert control over the State, Id. at 372-73 (emphasis added). B. To assert such a valid ultra vires claim, the claimant "must not complain of a government officer's exercise of discretion, but rather must allege, and ultimately prove, that the officer acted without legal authority or failed lo perform a purely ministerial act." Id. at 372. Otherwise, the suit, even if seeking only prospective declaratory or injunctive relief, implicates sovereign immunily because it seeks to control state action.."ke id. However, even if the suit complains of ultra vires actions, the remedy .sought cannot have the effect of awarding retrospective monetary relief against the State or oilier relief that would independently implicate sovereign immunity.

Thus, sovereign or governmental immunity deprives trial courts of subject-matter jurisdiction over suits for monetary damages or other retrospective monetary relief against government entities and their officers and employees, acting in their official capacity, unless the State expressly consents. See Heinrich. 284 S.\V.3d at 368, 380 (Tex. 2009); Texus Dep't of Trump, v. Jones. 8 S.\V.3d 636, 638 (lex. 1099) (per curiam). This is true regardless whether the claimant has otherwise asserted a valid claim of ultra vires conduct. See Heinrich, 284 S.

Miranda. 133 S H 3dat 224: TEX. CIV. PR,IC. & REM. CODE# 10J.0OI - 109. However, under TEX. CIV. PRAC. ti REM CODE § 10l.057(2j. claims arising from intentional torts arc excluded from the waiver of immunity. TEA". CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 101.057(2). In Non-Movanl's Revised Petition Non-Muvanl pled a cause of action for "filing a false claim" and filing a "fraudulent civil judgment". Fraud is an intentional tort See Texas River Rargex v. City ofSan Amonio.Ti S.W.3d 347. 356 (lex. App. - San Antonio 2000, pet. denied). Additionally, Non-Movant"s intentional tort claim of fraud or "raise claims'are barred by sovereign immunity because the Texas Tut I Claim Act docs not provide a waiver of sovereign immunity to these types of claims. Under the Texas Tort Claims Act. there are only three areas in which the State and its agencies waive immunity for torts..we TF.X. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 101.021.
