TURNER Texas Bar No. 24037619 400 S. Alamo, Suite A Marshall, Texas 75670 (903) 935-0135 (phone) (903) 935-0235 (facsimile) pturner@thelawofficeofpwt.com COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT 1 SUPPLEMENT TO ARGUMENT In Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing, Appellant argued that the Court had erred in some of its legal analysis on page 20 of its Opinion.1 In an effort to more succinctly state the flaw in the Court’s analysis, Wendolyn submits this Appellant’s Supplement to Motion for Rehearing. The Court has held that Wendolyn can brings claims against Boon for any negligent act that he committed during Delbert’s lifetime,2 but she cannot bring claims for any negligent act that Boon committed during Bengel’s administration of Delbert’s estate because any such negligence was an injury to Bengel.3 But, as the Court rightly observed on page 19 of its Opinion, Bengel stood in the shoes of Delbert as the executor of his estate. Therefore, an injury to Bengel was an injury to Delbert, and the Court has acknowledged that Wendolyn can bring claims for an injury to Delbert. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Paul W.
