To finally totally ignoring the relators communication to the court. This pro- bate case has been before thecourt for long enough. Surely the Court has no reason for such delays in an uncontested inheritance. The Relator would show this Honorable that his Motion to Remove an Unlawful and Unenfnrcable Child Support Lien is supported bv Case Law and Texas State Law as well .. That such laws are not in questin nor debatable in this instance. fexb 6 Being t~t the ·origional child support issue was filed Dn _c F e b • 0 2 , 1 965 • That the last child of R.L. Easley became an· adult im Mav of 1982 . texb.O . -···-..,. -.. that his last court ordered child support payment was May 26, 1982. That R.L. Easley's ex-wife did not file for an exten- tion for time to cnllect any child support in arreage is not debated, during the legally '~l~llect time. But when in 2003, April 16. The court order Easley to pay arreage to A.K. Stinnette in the amount of $82,733.61 on an invalid Child SupportLien, Mr. Easley had his Estate account raided for a substantila ammount. Ms. A.K. Stinnette has never filed for. comolaind of that wmich was or was not received. 6 Since this ruling and the payments to Ms. A.K. Stinnette the father of these two children, R.L. Easley has passed a wa y • ( e x.b-llt 2 p • J1 Z.. ) . Their mother Ms. Stinnette has passed away as well. And the children. Debra Easley, now 53 years old, and Michale Easley, now 52 years old. Have not filed any pleadings, nor m~de any claims to the R. L. Easlet estate to which Relator Kenneth Webb is the Sole Heir. Recognised by the State of Texas and the Court. Even with relator paying for service and notice to each concerning his attempts to have the Probate case settled and turned over to him. fexb. 1 This delay by the court has no legitimate nor legal reason to have existed in the first place. And certainly not for continuing for six (6) plus years. Any further delay will only enhance the irreparable har~ already caused to the Relator and further hinder his attempts to get an accounting of and corrections made to the Estate. VI Concerning Relator Webb Demand for an accountinq of the R.L. Easley Estate. Deceased; to which relator is the sole heir This also has been before the 84th Judicial District Court and Judge Smith since 5-9-2011. The motion itself never being add- ressed. and at which time the Executrix Walker and Attorney Biggers had already deserted thir position in this case. which they had been hired to preform. (exb 3 p ./, z.,3,1) (exb ~ p.~ 1 5 1 ~ ) Showinq the relators Application for Sale of Real Prppertv. (exb ~ p.$ 1 '1 ) Verified Exhib1..-t.

Relator as the then owner of this Estate should have been given and should have received updates of Transactions involving the Estate. Certainly a full accounting in light of Attorney Biggers own admission of mishandling funds from sale of estates property. ( exb L{ p. 1 ) And the fact that Mr. Biggers and Ms. Walker had ceased to preform thier duties to the estate and the relator. And had de- serted the Estate, as far as relator knows. One. Ms. Walker discontinuing all contact with relator. The other Mr. Biggers misleading, lying, violtatinq ordered rules and obligations and not so subtle threatening the rela- tor. The 84th J.D.Ct. via Judge Smith should certainly have r u 1 e Jd 0 n this M0 t i 0 n as we 11. (eX b ~ p(. B" /1. ttJ- I"? rip f 11 \\. Also letters to an from the Court. The Court Clerk, the Judge W. Smith, and Mr. Biggers. ( exb 7 In which it would appear Relator Webb was given the run around from the court and absolutely Mr. Biggers. And especially since he appears to have kept $13,800 of the sale of Homestead Property: Which was sold by Ms. Walker. approved by the court. ( exb ~ p. ;;23 1 f}!6 (II 1 P• t/.- After giving Ms. Walker $5,000 from the sale. (exb3 p. q find to which NU hiEN was attached nor claims made against. ) Therefore in the least the - monies from the sale of said Homestead property should have gone into the Relators father Estate account. Not into the .dccount of Mr. Biggers, to be supposedly doled out to the court or some mysterious person. In fact the monies, being from the Sale of Homestead Property also inherited from Relators Father, being exempt from attatchment (exb ~ p. "( 1 ) and having no liens nor claims on said property, should have went to Relators personal account as i t had no guestionable liens filed against i t . *ex b ~ P. II/1 II Added to these illegalities is the Bank in which the Relators Estate is being held has continually refused to give relator an accounting of his own esate funds and financial transactions. (exb. ~ p.3~r3?) Unless the Attorney Mr. Biggers or the Execturix Ms. Walker aothorize the request. And in'fact Court ordered obligation to give relator and accounting periodically. Added to this. The Courts ignoring the Relators request for an accounting, as it absolutely 04~ authorize and order such. Relators Motion to Dismiss both the Attorney and Executri~ and for the Estate to be turned over to Relators and a full accounting to Relator and the Court should be so order. Irreprable harm is more than obvious in this case. q VII Relator would show this Honorable Court. in support of Petition for the Issuance of Writ of Mandamus further cause. Relator as made extensive contact with the 84th J. D. Ct. and J u d g e Wi 11 i am S mi t h h i ms e 1 f . ( e xb ? p . I .fiJ~"o""f' l) ) Co n c e r n i n g his inherited estate and the actions of the Attorney Biggers and Execturix Walker. As well as concerning his pleadings, motions and filings. And questioning his own;relators, obliga- tions and the delays by the Court. (exb 1 p. '1-7'?7 As well as numerous letters to the Court Clerk. Ms. Kim Vera. This is exhibited by his Docket Book Report from the Court (exb &? p. ~2,? ) Which presents most of the communication dates and brief mention of content in Case No. CV04982 in the S4th Judicial District Court in Hansford County. Texas. These include but are not limited to his motions to Dismiss the Attorney C. Biggers as well as the Motion to dismiss the Execturix L. Walker for their abnadonment and failure to preform duties in the interest of the Estate of R. L. Easle~ and the relator. (exb. 3 p.o -16 ) Also the relators Motion for an Accounting of the estate and his communications with the Judge and the Court concerning this matter. (exb ~ p. / - 3(C)£~1) Attached also are several documents and letters to and from the Court showing the relators often sought inofrmation and asking and receiving in- formation on how to proceed and complying with such. Only to be told by Judge W. Smith that the relator can address this matter when he qot out of orison. ~ ' ( exb 1 p -121 1J ) And knowin~ that relator has a 75 Year sentence this is rather a strange way to handle a Probate Case, uncontested in any Court. ( exb 'l p. 13 10 Thus once again relator asserts ~at i t has been an Abuse of Discretion, perhaps negligence of collusion in continuing to delay a hearing and ruling on the Relators ' motions before the 84th Judicial District Court. Whereas credible documentary evidence has been presented to the Court. None of which has been opposed nor answered from Mr. Biggers nor Ms. Walker. And in fact, each being notifed by the Relator and the Court ( exb. 1 p. }.,1 3 as reported to Relator in a seemingly threatening manner by Mr. Biggers. Certainly all parties are aware of relators intentions to have the probate case CV0~9B2 the matter of the Estate of R. L. EASLEY To which Relator is heir and sole owner of. be settled. The unnecessary delays are obvious, the reasons A for said delays obscu~and questionable. Irreprable har"'l has already been done to relator by the 84th J.D.Ct. Relators respectfully request the Honorable Seventh Court of Appeals, In the interest of Just~~e and ruling laws Grant and issue his Mandamus request ordering the 84th J.D. Ct. and Judge Smith to rule on his motions and dispose of the probate case before it. So relator can either take control of His EsiAt~or proceed furthe through the courts. Which- ever is necessary. Again, there is no legitimate reason for the nearly decade delay in concluding this case. No legal reason for such a delay. And again raises ~uestions about the handling of this case. 11 PRAYER Wherefore for good cause shown, Relator Kenneth G. Webb, re~pect- fully comes before the Seventh Court of Appeals, in Amarillo Texas and request its consideration on the Petition for the Writ oof Mandamusbe issued; Ordering the Honorable Judge Smith of the 84th Judicial District Court in ~ansford County Texas. to rule on the motions that are before his court concerning the £state of RELLIS LEEJN_ EASLEY #cv04982. 1o which Relator Webb is the sole heir too, as has been approved through this same court And is uncontested nor challenged on his ownership and receiver- ship of said estate in any manner. Relator would beg the Court to intervene and rule on his beh~~f as far as the 84th J.D.Ct. wanting to wa~ till relator is "out of prison" to rule on the case. Of which all Motions and Pleadings by relator are as complete, clear and legitimate as his ability to put them forth are. Submitted this day of Jttl\(..x:try 2015. Verification I. Kenneth Glen Webb, do hereby verify that the forgoing statements and papers in this, my PETITION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE WRIT OF MANDAMUS are true and correct to the best of mv Knowledge. Executed this ~day, of s<~~ KENNETH GLEN WEBB TDCJ# 1454974 899 FM 632 KENEDY, TX. 78119-4561 ARGUEMENTS AND AUTHORITIES Relator WOlll rl show the r.ourt the followin~: Mandamus relief has and is an extraordinary remedy (In re South- western Bell Telegraph Co .• LP. 235 5.W.2d, 619,623 Tex. 2007). Relator must show the trial Court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator has no adequate remedy b~ 8nneel _ Inre Ford Motor CD. 988 S.W.2d 714,718 (Tx. 1998) Under Texas Adminitrative Responsibility Rules, Rule &,6a; Safeguarding the rights of litigants to the just processing of thei.r causes ... utilize methods to expedite the disposition of cases on the docket of the court. It is clear the the 84th J.D.Ct under Judge Smith is not doin~ ~ anything , near to this. As relator has shown he has been bewfore the court for over six (6) years and not one motion has been ruled on- Except to collect his monies paid to the court for citation services. That in fact, the Judge informed the relator that he can argue his case if he ever gets out of prison. Which in the rules of administrative duties for the Justices does not exist. As the clear failure of the court to analyze or apply law correctly will constitute "abuse of discration 11 856 S.W.2d, 780. As Judge Smith has ignored the fact that the Executrix and the Attorney he approved of have both abandonded the relator and the Estate of R. L. EASLEY they were paid to represent. 13 Likewise, there is an abuse of discretion of the trial courtwhen i t acts without reference to any guiding rules and principles. Morrow v. H.E.B.,lnc. 714 S.W.2d 297. As the numerous times relator has asked the court of an accounting of his inherited estate, informing the court of the Executrix 1 x and tne At~orneys abandonment and in fact refusal to assist him in recieving an accounting. And the bank itself. Even though relator is entitled to such an accounting. Traditionally, a writ of mandamus had been issued only to cQmpel the preformance of a ministeral act ot duty. WDRTHHAM v. WALKER 133 Tex 255. Relator argues that by refusing to hear and rule on his Motion to Dismiss the Executrix Walker and Attorney Biggers he has not acted upon the rules govern- ing the conduct of the Justices in Texas State Courts. And as such has caused actual harm to relator. But nuw writ will issue to court a clear abuse of dis- cretion committed by the trial court and where there is no adequate remedy at law: Which relator asserts the trial court has done in refusing to rule as to whether or not the lien upon the estates accounts is legitimate or not. Since according to Tx. R. Civ. Pro. 165 Any claim has been abandonded by the descendents (children of ) R. L. Easley and A. Stinnette. both deceased. By ·Lwice not answering citations and notifica- tions ~o them that relator has been seeking to have the lien dismissed. 14 The trial Court clearly abuses its discration if i~ reaches a decision so arbitrary as to amount to a clear prejudice and error of law. Walker v. Packer 827 S.W.Zd 8~3. Which l t is more than obvious this has heppened when the trial court authoroized the sale of Homestead property which the Executrix, that Attorney and the Court all signed off an. And sworn that said real property had no leans against it. Sale was appruved and confirmed by the trial court,yet the trial il:: b u r: t t o o k n o s t e p s t o e n s u r e t h e mo n i e s f r o 111 t h e s a l e wa s placed into the accoun~ of the R.L. Easley esiate that is the property of Relator Webb. As can be s een l.J y t h e d o c u me n t s i 11 t hi s r-1 8 n cJ a m u s mo t i o n • Attorney Biggers put into his persunal account and where such has been for years. Supposedly paying into the registar a monthly f~e. Which relator has informed the court has not happened. And relator has informed the court in his Motions to Dismiss Cecil Biggers and Motion for an Accounting had been going on. Which amount to clear and actual violation of Texas State Law. A Writ of prohibition directing a lower court to refrai11 from doi11~ surnethiilg while 8 writ of 111landamus generally directs ma lower court to do something. 252 S.W.2d 822. Perhaps it could be encomabant upon the 7th Court of Appeals to issue its own Writ of Prohibition of the Judge of the Bth J. D. Ct. so that it will not allow further funds to be pilferred from his satate while awaiting his ruling on the current motions he has before the 84th J.D.Ct. 15 Relator would show this HQnorable Court that On a Mandamus review of issues of law, a trial court abuses its discretion if it clearly falls to analyLe the law correctly or apply the law to the facts. In re Alan, Gump, Strauss, Haver & Feld, LLP 252 S.W.Zd 480. Which relator would assert is the case in the issues now before the 7th Court of Appeals. ln that Judge Smith has ineffect d~nied thB rela~or any hearing on his motiones before the court, that the Judge has already told him he may proceed with. T X. H. Ct. Rule :IJ:5, R. #6 l.Jy tile violation of time standards set forht in the rules of cou.ct. Specifically under R.6.1-(b)2) that gives time standards for the dilligent discharge of Civil Actions. In this case where there is a non injury action wo~ld be Twelve (12) montns from appearance. Which was rnade on the reJ.ators behalf by then Executrix Lou WalKer and Attorney C. Biggers back on 2009. Relator has provided this Honorbale court with adeguate record to substantiate allegations contained in the Petition for ~he Writ of Mandamus. Which Contain COURT DOCUMENTS which were origionated with the tourt of the 84th J.O. i~self. Which were approved, ruled mandated and acted upon by the Court and J~dge Smith. As well as documents from the Court, t he Co u :r: t; C1 e r· k t h e A t t o r· n e y IB o r t he ·a. L • E a s l e y Es t a t 8 C8 c i l Bigger·s. Relator believes there is no question that ALL his motion which are before the ~'ti"-Judicial District Court and Judge SmithJdeserve a fair and legitimate hearing and would respec~­ fully request this 7~h Court of Appeals to order such. 16 P, I .'-''· ,, ur· __.J:TJlJJ....LJLI. ::::_1 r Be.ore h d me, t e un ersigned authority, on this day pers!)nally appeared Jc.t:; L /) - . ·- U'J L£<;;.N- - f I r:r. • .. ) J '):::-' ., <\? tA r-.

CV-04982 IN THE ESTATE OF § IN THE 84TH JUDICIAL RELLIS LEON EASLEY § DISTRICT COURT OF DECEASED § HANSFORD COUNTY, TEXAS MOVANT'S MOTION FOR THE COURT TO REMOVE INDEPENDENT EXECUTRIX LOU WALKER FROM HER POSITION AS EXECUTRIX OF THE ESTATE OF RELLIS LEON EASLEY TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW Movant, Kenneth ,~nenn Webb ("Movant"), in pro· se, .making this his motion for the Court to remove independent Exec- utrix Lou Walker from her position as Executrix of the estate of Rellis Leon Easley, pursuant to the provisions of Texas Probate Code, Section 149C. In support, Movant offers the following: 1. Movant is the sole heir and beneficiary of the estate of Rellis Leon Easley. Movant has the burden to establish a violation of Sec. 149C. See Matter of Estate of Minnick, 653 s.w. 2d 503, 508 (Tex. App. Amarillo 1983, no writ). 2. Respondent, Executrix Lou Walker (Respondent"), was appointed to. represent the estate of Rellis Leon Easley, deceased in August 2007. The Respondent gave her Oath of Independ- ent Executrix on September 19, 2007. On July 22, 2008, Lexon Insurance Company insured the Respondent under bond number 1030021. The Respondent was previously insured by Trinity Universal Insurance Company under Bond# 0444115 on September 19,2007. \- .' ·\'. . . :::. . -~t~ 3. Respondent performed her administrative duties as Executrix from the time of her appointment in 2007 until March 2009, which is when the .Respondent unofficially stopped performing her ad- ministrative Executrix duties of the estate and ceased all com- munication with Movant. During March 2009, the Respondent was paid a $5,000 commission for performing her executrix duties, See exhibit A the probate of the estate of Rellis Leon Easley was transferred from the Hansford County Court to this Court, see exhibit B ; and the Movant, the Respondent, and the Respondent's attorney, Cecil Biggers ("Biggers"), were embroiled in a major dispute over the Respondent and Bi~gers gross mis- management of the estate. 4~ On September 25, 2008 the Respondent and Biggers notified Movant that the homesteaded real and personal properties of the late Mr. Easley did not have any liens placed against such properties. See exhibit~and~. Prior to this notification Movant even informed the Respondent and Biggers that he had heard from other family members that there may be a child support lien placed against all .the· homestead properties and to invest- igate if there is prior to selling ~he homestead properties. See exhibit c . Relying on the September 25th notification, and a telephone conversation with the Respondent prior to this notification, in which the Respondent stated to Movant that there were not any liens on the homestead properties, Movant authorized 2 the Respondent to sell the homestead properties so that Movant could obtain the cash proceeds from the sale, which totaled $18,232.34 prior to the Respondent's $5,000 commission being deducted. 5. Immediately after entering into a contract with purchasers Pedro Sanchez and Ester Sanchez, the Respondent and Biggers informed Movant that there was a child support lien placed against the homestead properties. After being informed of this fact, Movant immediately notified the Respondent and Biggers to cancel the sale of the homestead properties, exempted from the lien's enforceability, until such time a ruling could be made on the lien's validity, but Biggers informed Movant he would not comply with Movant's request because the estate would be liable for damages. See exhibit G 6. On January 23, 2009 the homestead properties were sold to the Sanchez's and the $18,232.54 in non-exempt cash proceeds were immediately placed in Biggers attorney trust fund account and allegedly frozen because of the lien. see exhibitsD,E. After the Respondent's $5,000 commission was deducted from the $18,232.54 balance on March 13, 2009, the total balance remaining is currently $13,232.54. See exhibit-A . 7. · Movant has suf Eered actual harm because of the Respon- dent's and Biggers foregoing gross mismanagement of the estate and breach of fiduciary duty. Movant is harmed because he is 3 i' t now placed in the position of losing the $13,232.54 remaining balance from the sale of the homestead properties, which would never have occurred had the Respondent and Biggers informed Movant of the lien prior to attempting to sell the homestead properties. Movant believes, but cannot prove, that the Respon- dent knew of the lien prior to attempting to sell the homestead properties, but intentionally failed to disclose such to Movant so that the sale would go through and so that she could obtain the $5,000 cash commission she was not entitled to receive only two months after the sale. See exhibit A . 8. The Respondent's attorney, Biggers, without informing Movant, filed application with! the Hansford County court to pay the Respondent a $5,000 commission for serving as executrix, which the County court approved on March 13, 2009. See exhibit2L. The Respondent and Biggers .apparently failed to disclose to Judge Wilson that the Movant had already paid the Respondent for all of her executrix duties by giving her a 4x4 Chevrolet pickup truck appraised at $8,500, See exhibit I and J , which occurred on September 28, 2007. And the Respondent and Biggers also apparently failed to disclose to Judge Wilson that the Respondent's additional $5,000 commission would be paid with frozen lien money. 4 I' t 9. After being paid the $5,000 commission, the Respondent immediately ceased all communication with the Movant because of the dispute over the sale of the homestead properties. 10. Respondent refuses to disclose to Movant what the disposition is of all the remaining, unaccounted for property items, as described in Movant's exhibit __K__ , that were under the care and control of the Respondent when she ceased from serving as Executrix in 2009. This is also proof of the Respon- dent's gross mismanagement of the estate. Since March 2009, Movant has written the Respondent numerous times in an attempt to determine the disposition of the many property items described in exhibit K , but Respondent refuses to reply. 11. Pursuant to Texas Probate Code, Section 149 C (a), this Court may remove the Respondent from serving as Executrix of this. estate: a. For failing to return an inventory of the estate's property; b. When sufficient grounds appear that she has misapplied or embezzled any part of the property committed to her care; c. For failing to make an accounting; d. For failing to file notice required by Sec. 128 A; e. When it is proved she is guilty of gross misconduct or gross mismanagement in the performance of her duties; and 5 I' I f. When she becomes incapacitated. 12. Movant asserts that the Repondent has embezzled part of the property committed to her care. See Texas Probate Code, Section 149 (a)(2). Specifically, the Respondent f,a:iled to ap- prise the County Court on March 13, 2009 that she had already been paid for her executrix service in full when Movant gave her the $8,500 4x4 Chevrolet Pick-up, See paragraph 8, which her attorney, Biggers, was also aware of as well when he signed the order authorizing the additional $5~000 commission to be paid to the Respondent. The Respondent receiving a total of $13,500 as payment fo~ her services as executrix for such a small estate is unconscionable, especially when she acquired the additional $5,000 under false pretenses. Moreover, the Respondent violated Texas Probate Code, Section 331 when she accepted the $8,500 4x4 Pick-up truck as commission .for her services and subsequently sold it for cash without first ob- taining an order of the Court authorizing the same. 13. Movant asserts that the Respondent may have embezzled, destroyed, lost, or given away without authorization property items described in exhibit K which are valued at several thousand dollars. As to the estate checking account at First State Bank in Spearman, Texas (checking account No. 203424), See exhibits L and M , which has been under the sole control of the Respondent since 2007, the Court will have to order the 6 Bank to provide the records of account No. 203424 from 2007 to the present to investigate and determine if the Respondent has embezzled any funds from this property item. Movant strongly belives embezzlement of property described in this paragraph has occurred because of the Respondent unjustly obtaining the $5,000 commission decribed in paragraphs 7-9, 12 above, then ceasing all communication with Movant thereafter in regard to the property items decribed in this paragraph. 14. Movant further asserts that the Respondent has committed gross misconduct or gross mismanagement during the performance of her duties based on the following: a. Breaching her fiduciary duties that resulted in actual harm to the Movant when the Respondent and Biggers informed Movant that there were no liens placed agai- nst the exempted homestead real and personal properties described in exhibits D and ~' when there was a lien placed against such properties, resulting in the actual harm described in the above- stated paragraphs 3-7, as well as the harm that resu- lted when Movant had to spend $2,500 to retain the services of attorney George Harwood for this specific issue. 7 7-x ( :' 71 b. Intentionally committing a wrongful act by receiving an $8,500 4x4 Chevrolet pickup from Movant as full payment for her duties as executrix, which the Respon- dent never fully completed, and failing to inform the Court of such prior to selling the truck thereafter. Further, petitioning Hansford County Court for an additional $5,000 in cash for executrix fees while knowing she had already been paid in full with the $8,500 4x4 pickup. See paragraph 8. The obvious harm to Movant is that he has lost $5,000 of estate money. c~ Failing to continue to serve as Executrix of the estate after being paid the additional $5,000 commission on~ March 13, 2009, as well as ceasing all communicat- ion with Movant thereafter. The harm is Movant may have to lose additional money for another executor. d. Failing to inform the Court or Movant about the disposition and location of all the property items described in above-stated paragraph 13. The harm to Movant is that he may have lost several thousand dollars worth of estate property. 8 t' lf 15. the case law is clear: "Gross mismanagement" or qross misconduct" in performance of independent executrix duties that warrant removal of executrix include, at minimum, willful omission to perform legal duty, intentional commission of wrong- ful act, and breach of fiduciary duty that results in ~ctual harm to a beneficiary's interest. Geeslin v. McElhenney, 788 S.W.2d 683 (Tex.App.-Austin 1990); Lee v. Lee, 47 S.W.3d 767 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2001. Wherefore, premises considered, Movant prays that after this Court orders the Respondent to perform a full accounting of the estate, pursuant to Movant's motion demanding such filed on the same date as this motion, as well as an inventory of current estate property, that she be dismissed as serving as executrix of this estate, based on the foregoing acts as decribed· herein. f Movant also prays that this Court appoint a new executor or executrix if it is necessary to finalizing the remaining estate business and closingthe estate. The Court will have to appoint a court-appointed executor or executrix, as Movant does not know of any person willing to serve in this capacity. / 9 Moreover, Movant prays for the Court to order the Respondent to repay, through her own funds or through a claim filed with her executrix bondinq company, Lexon: tT.exas) _ .. Insurance corn- pany, See exhibit~, the $5,000 commission the Respondent should not have been paid, as well as the actual or appraised costs of any other property mismanaged or embezzled. Movant further prays for this Court to order the remaining funds, if any, in First State Bank Checking account No. 203424 to be transferred into the Court's registry for safekeeping . .Lastly, Movant prays for any other relief to which he may be entitled.

CV-04982 IN THE ESTA'rE OF § IN THE RELLIS LEON EASLEY, § 84TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT DECEASED § OF HANSFORD COUNTY, TEXAS DECLARATION OF DECLARANT KENNETH GLENN WEBB I Kenneth Glenn Webb, declare under penalty of perjury the following: II Prior to making application for the sale of the real and personal Homestead Properties located at 111 South Barkley, Spearman, Texas, 79081 on September 26, 2008, I made it very ·clear to the Executrix, Lou Walke~ not to sell the properties if there was any lien placed against these properties. She assured me that there was no liens, and further stated that estate attorney Cecil Biggers had clearly informed her of this fact. II On or about September 2008, I was called to the McConnell Unit Prison Law Library to have an attorney conference phone call with Executrix Lou Walker. During the teleconference, Ms. Walker informed me that there was someone interested in purchasing the Homestead Properties for $20,000.00 cash. I again asked her if there was any lien and she said, nNo 11 • I then told her to go ahead and sell. See attached paperwork. II Some time later, Ms. Walker suddenly informed me that there was a lien against the Homestead Properties. In desperation, I immediately wrote estate attorney Cecil Biggers instructing him to cancel the sale of the Homestead Properties. Mr. Biggers wrote me back informing me that he would not stop the sale of the Homestead Properties because the estate would be liable for damages in doing so. ; ·~ 41 ~ ....... , " After finishing the sale of the Homestead Properties, Mr. Biggers refused to give me any of the money citing the lien, yet gave Ms. Walker $5,000.00 of the money shortly after the sale was final. " Mr. Biggers then informed me that he would file some paperwork with the Court to have the lien removed so that I could receive my inheritance, but Mr. Biggers never did. II After November 2010, I never heard from Mr. Biggers again, in spite of writing him letters. " After March 2009, I never heard from Ms. Walker again, in spite of writing her letters. " In October 2009 I paid Amarillo Texas attorney George Harwood $2,500 of the remaining estate money I had been previosly given to try to remove the lien, but Mr. Harwood took no actidn. " In April 2011, and out of desperation, I wrote Judge Smith asking him to allow me to proceed in Pro Se so I could resolve the lien matter since all the attorneys did not want to or did not know how to. " I have been through a lot of stress trying to do the right thing in getting my father's estate probated fairly. Many people have taken advantage of me because of my being incarcerated. It seems that everyone else is receiving the majority of my father's estate except for me.

Income form from Valero Marketing & Supply Co. (showing total monies paid for 2007). All of the enclosed royalties have been transferred to you. Most oil companies will not issue a check or make a deposit to your bank account until the payment is at least $100.00 or if it is less than $100.00 for the year they will make a check or deposit once a year. So far, it appears that the lands that the royalties are coming off of you do not own an interest in. If you owned an interest in the land you would have to pay property taxes in each county that the land is located in. / ~---·- i..; 51 -- .! :: \.· lf \'i.~ .. , "' Law Office Of \-,.1 CECIL R.

Emily Drive Beeville, TX 781 02 Re: Estate of .R.L. Easiey, Decea-sed Dear Mr. Webb: Enclosed please find a copy of the child support lien filed on May 28, 2003. Also enclosed is a copy of the title insurance commitment on the sale of real estate. As you know, I represent the Estate ofR.L. Easley, Deceased. Your interpretation of Texas law is misplaced. An heir to an estate receives "title" to the property of the estate upon the decedent's death; however, that property is received subject to all claims and liens. A child-support lien does not "expire" after four (4) years. A further problem is that mineral interests (including royalty interests) are subject to such a lien. In this instance, the sale will proceed as the Court has approved the sale and the estate is bound by contract. If we were to cancel the contract, the estate would be liable for damages. The proceeds of sale will be deposited in a trust account to be held until we can best clear this lien either by payment, negotiation, or court order. We will keep you informed as this matter progresses. -·· CRB:yh ~tfP.l '( t 1-~ -the_ ~Ovlt~ r~ \-a f~ $ O·t · ~ H?JVV3hJ LC-t.JA'Jy; T~-S ---·-- ,' ' .--· p. 16 kilWOUiillJ Of ~ft:H~fifl• t;:!#t!rJ.. fl!

Webb TDCJ # 1454974 McConnell Unit ~001 S. Emily Drive Beeville, Texas 78102 Re: Estate of R.L. Easley; Child Support Lien Dear Mr. Webb: I have received the copy of the letter you sent to the Hansford County and Moore County Clerks. Please understand that this letter does not accomplish anything and that the clerks merely forward a copy of the letter to me. Any motion that you file will be disregarded. When you file a "motion" that motion must be set for hearing with the court and a ruling obtained thereon. While you are serving a sentence, you cannot attend a hearing. In your letter you reference Family Code Section 157.005. This section refers to the time to enforce a child support arrearage by contempt (motion for enforcement). It is not a general statute of limitations! The matter we are dealing with is a Child Support Lien which is ba$ed on a Judgment for child support arrearage. If you research Judgments, they are enforceable for ten years, and may be renewed in ten year increments by filing a writ of execution within the ten year period. The death of the person owing the child support and the death of the person to whom the support should be paid does not extinguish the lien. The lien continues for the benefit of adult "children". !'Laches" only applies after the passage of a period of time (usually 'long') and is applied on a "case by case" ~~ p,~i, 2l.o.- AA- ~ f\ ~ A.vttA. ~- .1~ pLeA:.J ~ I...CI7 k t>--1- +"-~ ·tc-r 1) ~~ h~ /,~ ~k ~~ -t 0op 1-~seLfl / ' ?t -~-- ......

We will do a final accounting on the estate, so that the estate may be closed. I still believe that we will need to file an action for the court to determine the validity of the child support lien. I will file your pleading with this and return a copy to you. We have been unable to locate your siblings and I believe that this will work in your favor.

In support, Movant offers the f~llowin~: h JURISDICTION This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties in this case. II. FACTS PERTAINING TO THE PARTIES 1. Rellis Leon Easley ( "Decedant" )' is the Decedant for the above styled and numbered cause. The Decedant died on March 09, 2007. The Decedant was the obligor of a Moore County Court at Law child support lien, notice of which was filed on May . 28_-; .. J~'dod(~.£l2"A.o.,2QU Kim V. Vera, Co/Dist Court Oerk ~v~~fo~~­ ~ X ~~ ,Deputy COpy V·'·· [ 2003 in Moore County, Texas. See exhibit "A". Decedant was the paternal parent of adult children Kenneth Glenn Webb, Debra Ann Easley, and Michael Wayne Easley. The 2003 Moore County Child Support Lien only pertained to the Decedant's two adult-children Debra Ann Easley and Michael Wayne Easley. The Child Support Lien was immediatley filed after the Moore co. Court at Law placed a judgment for child support arrearage against Decedant on April 16, 2003. See exhibit "B". Debra Ann Easley and Michael Easley resulted from the Decedant's brief marriage to Audrey Stinnett, who is also· deceased and who was the Moore Co. Child Support Lien Obligee. K~nneth Glenn Webb resulted from the Decedant's subsequent relationship with Ruby Pauline Webb, who is also deceased. The Deced ant named only Kennneth Glenn Webb as his sole heir to his estate. 2. Audrey K. Stinnett ("Stinnett") died on August 21, 2004. She was the Obligee of the above-mentioned .Child Support Lien. Stinnett is the biological maternal parent of Debra Easley and Michael Easley, both resulting from Stinnett's short marriage to the Decedant. After divorcing the Decedant on February 02, 1965, Stinnett guickly remarried a Mr. Stirinett. (Mr. Stinnett adopted Debra Easley and Michael Easley, giving them his name, raising them and supporting them). 3. Kenneth Glenn Webb ("Movant") is the biological son of the Decedant. Movant is the sole heir to the Decedant's estate. Movant was born January 27, 1969. Movant's maternal parent is 2 t-'"'" t~~ ,. i ... ,.:. Ruby Pauline Webb, now deceased. Movant is presently 42 years old. 4. Michael Wayne Easley ("Michael Easle~~)·· now known as Mike Stinnett, is the biological son of the Decedant and Stinnett. He was born on September 28, 1963 and is presently 47 years old. Micha~l Easley is the youngest of the two children that are the basis of the disputed 2003 Child Support Lien. 5. Debra Ann Easley ("Debra Easley"), now known as Debbie Holt, is the biological daughter of the Decedant and Stinnett. She was born on June 26, 1962 and is presently 48 years old. Debra Easley is the oldest of the two adult-children that are the basis of the disputed 2003 Child Support Lien. III. CHILD SUPPORT LIEN FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY On April 16, 2003, current presiding Moore Co• Court at Law Judge Delwin McGee issued a judgment for child support arrearage against the Decedant. See exhibit "B~. Judge McGee found that Decedant was in "arrears in the amount of $20,175 for the period February 8, 1965 through May 26, 1982 and that interest [had] accrued on those previous~y unconfirmed arrearage in the amount of $59,933.61~· Judge McGee then awarded Stinnett a judgment· of $80,108. 6l1 plus attorney fees for a total judgrne.nt ·: of $82,- 3 •,' / 733.61 against the Decedant _ ordering all monies in tbe:DeseGlant ~s • First State Bank accounts to be seized and delivered to Stinnett. On May 28, 2003 a notice of Child Support Lien for $38,026.11 was filed in Moore County, Texas against all non-exempt real and personal property owned by the Decedant. See exhibit "A". Therefore, between April 17, 2003 and May 28, 2003, $44,707.50 was seized from the Decedant and paid to Stinnett. ($82,733.61-- $44,707.50 = $38,026.11). On March 16, 2003, prior to Judge McGee's April 16, 2003 judgmen~, the Decedant filed an answer, See exhibit "C", con- testing Stinnett's Motion to Confirm Child Support Arrearage. See exhibit "D". The Decedant asserted defenses to not owing the child support, specifically stating the Stinnett was barred from bringing her payment of back child support request based on the provisions of sections 31.006 and 34.001 of the Texas Practice Remedies Code and based on the "Statute of Limitations", "Laches", and exceeding the remedial boundaries of chapter 157, sub-chapter F of the Texas Family Code. Stinnett sought to rebut Decedant's Answer with her Response to Respondent's Defen- ses. See exhibit "E". From May 26, 1982, the date the Decedant owed his last child support payment until Moore ~county .Judge McGee's April 16, 2007 judgment·. for child support arrearage, approximately (21) years had elapsed without Stinnett taking any action to obtain back child support from the Decedant. 4 IV. THE CHILD SUPPORT LIEN IS LEGALLY TIME BARRED AND UNENFORCEABLE THE LAW STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION Statutory construction.. is a legal question that Courts re- view De Novo. In the Interest of C.A.T., a Child, 316 SW 3d 202,206 (Tex.App.--Dallas 2010). When constructing a statute, a Court's objective is to ascertain and give effect to the leg- islature's intent. Coleman v. Coleman! 170 SW 3d 231,235-236- (Tex.App. 2005,pet.denied). A court must look to the plain and common meaning of the language and statute. Tex. Govt. Code Ann § 311.011 (Vernon 2005). The statute: must be read as a whole, not just in isolated portions. Tex. Dep't. of Transp. v. City of Sunset Valley, 146 SW 3d 637,642 (Tex 2004). Courts should give effect to "every sentence, clause, and word of s~atute so that no part thereof [will] be rendered superfluous." Russell v. Wendy's Int'l.,Inc., 219 sw 3d 629, 638-39 (Tedx.App.--Dallas 2007, pet.dism'd.). When interpreting a statute, it is presumed the entire statute is intended to be effective. Tex Govt. Code § 311.021(2} (Vernon 2005). A Court should consider the objective the law seeks to obtain and the consequences of a particular construction. Coleman, 170- SW 3d at 236. Lastly, a Court should not give a statute meaning that conflicts with other provisions if the Court can reason- 5 7 ably harmonize the provisions. Id. TEXAS FAMILY CODE Texas Family Code, Sec. 157.26l{a} provides "a child support payment not timely made constitutes a final judgment:. for the amount due and owing." Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 157.26l(a). (Ver- non, 2002). The plain and common meaning of the statute is clear: Once a child support payment is overdue, it becomes a final judgmertt. "Final Judgment~ is defined as "A Court's last action that settles the rights of the parties and disposes of all the issues in controversy •.. " Blacks Law Dictionary, pg. 847 (7th ed. 1999). It is presumed the legislature knows the meaning of "Final Judgment"' and there is nothing within the statute implying the legislature intended "Final Judgment~ to have a different meaning within the context of the Family Code. See Tex. Govt. Code Ann. § 311.011. Texas Family Code § 157.132 (d) provides: A child support lien arises by operation of law against real and personal property of an obligor for all amount of child support due and owing, including any accrued interest, regardless of whether the amounts have been adjusted or otherwise determined, subject to the re- quirement of this sub-chapter for perfection of the lien. TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE REMEDIES CODE Texas Civil Practice Remedies Code§ 34.001 (a)(b) provides: (a) If a writ of· execution is not issued within 10 years after the rendition of a judgm.ent~· of a Court _Of .. :reco.td:: ..Pr .a.: :J·UStic.e C"OUJ:";t I .tbe jl,ltl5gment i,s: dO'r.man:t and execution may not be issued on the judgment· un- less it is reYived. 6 Er-!3 5- p. 7 (b) If a writ of execution is issued within 10 years after rendition of a judgment but a second writ is not issued within 10 years after [the] issuance of the first writ, the judgment becomes dormant. A second writ may be issued at any time within 10 years after issuance of the first writ. Te~as Civil Practice Remedies Code § 31.006 provides: A dormant judgment may be revived by scire facias or by an action of debt brought not later than the second anniversary of the date tha~: the ;jtidgment becomes dormant. APPLYING THE LAW TO THE FACTS The Defendant's obligation to make weekly child support pay- ments ended when his youngest child by Stinnett, Michael Easley, turned eighteen years old on September 28, 1981. Because Texas Family Code, Section 157.261 applies, the Final missed child support payment, occurring on May 26, 1982, became a final -jtidg- ment at that time. Texas Civil Practice Remedies Code, Section 34.001 (a) provides if a writ of execution is not resolved within ten years after the rendition of :iti~~ment of a court of record or a justice court, the ·· j.t.i.dgment is dormant and execution may not be issued unless it is revived. Tex. Civ. Prac .. & Rem. Code Ann. § 34.001 (Vernon 1997). A dormant juogment may be revived by scire facias or by an action of debt brought not later than the second anniversary of the date the judgment becomes dormant, neither of which occurred in this case. Id. 31.006. Thus, the Civil Practice and Remedies Code provides a twelve-year "residual" limitations: for final :judgments. 7 ~-=-' . E)<& 5 . p. 8" The mandate of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code is clear: if a writ of execution is not issued within ten years after the rendition of a judgment by a court of record and is not "revived", the judgment is dormant. Id. §§ 31.006, 34.001. There simply is no exception for Family Law cases; they are, after all, "Courts of Record." See In Re s.c.s., 48 SW 3d 831,- 840 (Tex.App.--Hou.[l4th Dist] 2001, pet. denied). Therefore, regardless of whether a party tries to reduce arrearages to a ~umulative judgment or not, a parent must take actions to obtain arrearages within a timely manner, which Stinnett failed to do. Applying the residual twelve-year limitations, Stinnett had until May 26, 1994 to take some 'action with a Court on the Decedant's back child support obligations. This she failed to do when she finally obtained a child support arrearages judg-- ment through Moore County Court at Law in 2003. Waiting until 2003, an additional nine years after permanent dormancy occured in 1994, to seek tt back child support arrearages judgment and a. lien from Moore County Court at Law, after the children-- Michael Easley and Debra Easley-- are well into adulthood, is just too long. Texas Family Code Section 157.312 (d), a child support lien, was not available to Stinnett. Section 157.312 (d) provides a child support lien arises by operation of law for all amounts of child support due and owing regardless of whether the amounts have been adjudicated or otherwise determined. Tex. Fam. Code Ann., Sec. 157.312 (d) (Vernon Supp. 2007). Here, because the arrearages were determined and constituted a Final Judgment 8 qJ years after the youngest son reached eighteen will serve to protect the children's interests. To the extent one may argue the arrearages serve as rein- bursement to the custodial parent for monies spent on the children, Burnett--Dunham had remedies avail- able to her years ago; however, for whatever reason, she chose not to pursue them. We further acknowledge, Spurgin has plainly failed to fulfill an important responsibility to his children, but neither his culpability nor a public policy favoring the payment of child support precludes the legislature from imposing time limits for how long a parent may seek arrearages once the child has reached maturity. See e.g. Dept. Econ. Sec. v. Hayden, 210 Ariz. 522, 115 p. 3d 116, 120-21 (2005). As such, we cannot justify ignoring specific statutory mandates enacted by the legislature regarding the dormacy of judgments. This policy likewise encourages a reasonably prompt accounting of the support arrearages before relevant evidence becomes hard to obtain or is unavailable. Id. arguments as to the wisdom of this policy are appropriatly directed to the legislature, not the courts. v. CONCLUSION As is clear from firmly established Texas statutory law and Texas case law, the Moore County Court at Law got it wrong and should never have granted Stinnett a judgment,for child support arrearages in April 2003, nor allowed her to subsequently place a child support lien against the Decedant's estate property in- terests in May 2003. Therefore, this Court should rule that Stinnett's child support lien against the Decedant is invalid or unenforceable. This Court should also take into consideration the remarkable fact that the Decedant did pay Stinnett $44,707.50 ($20,175 principle amount plus $24,532.50 in interests) while she was alive. 10 t:>d3 5 p. I( WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Movant prays for the following: relief: 1. That this Court enter a judgment declaring that the 2003 Moore County child support lien placed against the personal and real non exempt property of the Estate of Rellis Leon Easley is invalid or unenforceable under clearly established Texas Law. 2. That this Court order that a check payable to Kenneth Glenn Webb for all Estate cash balances currently held in this Court's registry, in attorney Cecil Biggers trust account, and or at First State Bank in Spearman, Texas be mailed to Movant in care of Movant's sister. Movant's sister's address info- rmation is: Mr. Kenneth Glenn Webb C/O Jaquita Alonzo 401 South Manhattan Amarillo, Texas 79104 ph. 806•373.6339 3. That, in the interests of justice, this court enter a counter-claim judgment against the Estate: of Audrey Stinnett for $44,707.50 that was originally seized from the Decedant's Estate in 2003 because of the Moore County faulty judgment and unenforcable or invalid child support lien. 4. That this Court order any other relief to which Movant may be entitled. 11 - ' C:)·:· ~ .. ; -~ Lou Walker, Administratrix With Will Annexed of the Estate of Rellis Leon Easley, .'·, . -~ Deceased, reports the following: I.

The governing body of each unit- school board, county commissioners, and so on - decides whether property taxes increase. The appraisal district only determines your property's value. The taxing units will set tax rates later this year. The Texas Legislature does not set the amount of your local taxes. Your propertv tax burden is decided by your local elected officials, and all inguiries concerning your taxes should be directed to those officials. If you are 65 or older and received the $10,000 school tax exemption on your home last year from the school listed above, your school taxes for this year ,will not be higher than when you first received the exemption on this home. If you improved your property (by adding rooms or buildings), your school tax ceiling may increase for improvements. If you are a surviving spouse age 55 or older, you may retain the school tax ceiling. Contact the appraisal office if you disagree with this year's proposed value for your property, or if you have any problems with the property description or address information. If the problem cannot be resolved, you have the right to appeal to the appraisal review board (ARB). To appeal, you must file a WRITTEN protest with the ARB before 06/20/2008. Enclosed is a protest form to mail or bring to the appraisal district office at the address above before the above date. The ARB will begin hearings on 07/07/2008. The ARB will notifY you ofthe date, time, and place of the scheduled hearing. Enclosed also is information to help you in preparing your protest. You do not need to use the enclosed form to file your protest. You may protest by letter, if it includes your name, your property's description, and with which appraisal office action you disagree. If you have any questions or need more inform,~tion~ please contact the appraisal office at the phone number or address listed above.

Also enclosed is a copy of the title insurance commitment on the sale ofreal estate. As you know, I represent the Estate of R.L. Easley, Deceased. Your interpretation of Texas law is misplaced. An heir to an estate receives "title" to the property of the estate upon the decedent's death; however, that property is received subject to all claims and liens. A child-support lien does not "expire" after four (4) years. A further problem is that mineral interests (including royalty interests) are subject to such a lien. In this instance, the sale will proceed as the Court has approved the sale and the estate is bound by contract. If we were to cancel the contract, the estate would be liable for damages. The proceeds of sale will be deposited in a trust account to be held until we can best clear this lien either by payment, negotiation, or court order. We will keep you informed as this matter progresses. CRB:yh '- l d . 1 r Law Office of CECIL R.

Easley, Hansford County, Spearman, Texas Dear Mr. Webb: We have drafted a Declaratory Judgment action to have the 84th Judicial District Court rule on the validity of the child support lien. I have previously contacted your Amarillo attorney on several occasions and will send him a copy of the proposed action for his comment prior to filing with the court. You have previously been provided with copies of the account. We will be paying the remaining estate funds from my trust account into the registry of the court for disbursement according to the order of the court. The amount of the funds to be tendered into the registry is $13,232.54. Since the 84th Judicial District Court still has jurisdiction over the estate by transfer from the County Court; we wiii file the paperwork to close the estate as soon as we have a ruling on the Declaratory Judgment action. We will provide you with file stamped copies of the paperwork.

Easley and information on a certain account here. Banks do not provide accounting on an estate unless perhaps their trust department is the executor and we are not the executor on this _estate. The executor on the estate is Lou Walker and the request should be directed there. Also, I cannot release bank account information except to the executor or upon receipt of a court order directing me to do so. The executor should be in possession of all the data you have requested. If I receive a legal court order to produce documentation then it will be done for our normal charges. Sincerely, ~0_,)id2Q Robert C. Schnell , Ex~el1tive Vke "Pre~ident P. 0.
