AT AUSTIN, TEXAS

Appellee

From the 22nd Judicial District Court
of Hays County, Texas

APPELLEE'S BRIEF

Pursuant to Rule 38.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Cathy A.

Blunck, the Appellee in these proceedings, responds to the arguments presented to

this Court by Appellant, Tedde R. Blunck. For the reasons set forth below, Cathy A.

Blunck requests that this Court affirm the order of the trial court in all respects.
 SYNOPSIS OF ARGUMENT

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by granting Appellee's request for

turnover relief. As a judgment creditor, Appellant was entitled to receive aid from

the trial court in the form of a turnover order if Appellant established that Appellee

owns property that cannot readily be attached or levied on by ordinary legal process

and that is not exempt from attachment, execution or seizure for the satisfaction of

liabilities. At the hearing on Appellant's request for turnover relief, the trial court

took judicial notice of the Final Decree ofDivorce in this case, which reflects on its

face that Appellant was awarded assets in his divorce that cannot readily be attached

or levied on by ordinary legal process and which are not exempt from attachment,

execution or seizure. Even without any additional evidence, the trial court had

sufficient cause to grant the request for turnover relief.

Appellee also offered additional evidence in support of her request, which

clearly supports her entitlement to relief. In addition to the information contained

within the parties' Final Decree ofDivorce, Appellee presented the trial court with

a certified copy of "The Tedde R. Blunck Living Trust" which reflected that

Appellant was in possession ofcertain contract rights with respect to property that he

had transferred into the Trust. Appellee also presented copies of the official

schedules that Appellant submitted to the Bankruptcy Court in connection with his
bankruptcy. Those schedules reflect Appellant's interest in certain accounts

receivable, bank accounts and other assets that had been awarded to him in his

divorce, as well as his interest in his law practice. The bankruptcy schedules, which

were signed by Appellant under penalty of perjury were self-authenticating and

established that Appellant was in possession assets such as the revenue from his law

practice and two accounts receivable valued at $59,500.00 that cannot readily be

attached or levied on by ordinary legal process. Consequently, the trial court had a

sufficient evidentiary basis upon which to grant the requested turnover relief.

The trial court also did not abuse its discretion by failing to identify in the

turnover order the specific property that was subject to the order. Appellant's

argument in that regard is based upon case law that has specifically been superseded

by statute. Section 31.002(h) ofthe Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which

was adopted in 2008, specifically provides that a turnover order does not have to

identify the specific property that is subject to turnover.

Finally, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by establishing the rate at

which the Receiver will be compensated. Appellant is correct in his assertion that the

trial court cannot "pre-approve" the Receiver's right to compensation. Establishing

the rate to be charged by the Receiver, however, is not the same as awarding the

Receiver his fees. The Receiver will still need to submit a report to the Court and
obtain the trial court's approval of any request for fees. At that time, Appellant will

be able to challenge the Receiver's request and assert any relevant arguments in

opposition to the Receiver's request.

The order signed by the trial court on 9 February 2015, is supported by

sufficient evidence, is in compliance with the express provisions of Section 31.002

of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and is proper in all respects.

Accordingly, the order should be affirmed by this Court.
 STATEMENT OF FACTS

Rule 38.1 (g) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states,

The brief must state concisely and without
argument the facts pertinent to the issues or
points presented. In a civil case, the court
will accept as true the facts stated unless
another party contradicts them. The statement
must be supported by record references.

Despite the plain language ofRule 38.1(g), Appellant chooses to interject both

argument and opinion in his recitation of the pertinent facts regarding this case.

Accordingly, Appellee respectfully urges this Court to disregard the extraneous and

irrelevant nature of the majority of Appellant's statement of facts and focus instead

only on those facts that are relevant to the disposition of this appeal.

Mindful of the fact that Rule 38.1 (g) provides that the Court will accept as true

the facts stated in an appellant's statement of facts unless those facts are controverted.

Appellee advises this Court that she generally denies Appellant's version ofthe facts.

Additionally, Appellee incorporates herein by reference her Statement of Facts

presented below, and any reference to the facts in her argument presented herein and

offers both in contravention of the relevant facts asserted by Appellant.

Appellee obtained a judgment against Appellant on 24 October 2012, which

Appellant has refused to pay. (CR 36-70)(The Final Decree of Divorce is not a

formal part of the record in this case, but is attached as an exhibit to Appellee's
request for turnover relief). On 30 January 2015, Appellee filed a Motionfor Post-

Judgment Receivership Pursuant to Section 31.002, Civil Practice and Remedies

Code, seeking judicial assistance in collecting the outstanding judgment. (CR 33 -

35). On 9 February 2015, the trial court considered Appellee's request for turnover

relief. Although he had been provided with notice of the hearing, Appellant did not

attend. At the conclusion ofthe hearing the trial court granted Appellee's request for

turnover relief and appointed a receiver with the authority to take possession of

Appellant's non-exempt property. (CR 72 - 78).
 STANDARD OF REVIEW

Turnover orders are reviewed under an abuse of discretion standard.

Beaumont Bank, N.A. v. Buller, 806 S.W.2d 223, 226 (Tex. 1991). Under the abuse

of discretion standard, legal and factual insufficiency challenges do not constitute

independent grounds for error, but are factors that the appellate court examines in

assessing whether the trial court abused its discretion. See Tanner v. McCarthy, 21A

S. W.3d 311,322 (Tex. App.-Houston [1stDist.] 2008, no pet.); Jonesv. Am. Airlines,

Inc., 131 S.W.3d261,266(Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2004, nopet.). Atrial court abuses

its discretion when it acts in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner, without reference

to any guiding rules and principles. Beaumont Bank, 806 S.W.2d at 226. An

appellate court should not reverse for an abuse of discretion ifthere is some evidence

of a substantive and probative character to support the trial court's decision. Tanner,

274S.W.3d at 321;Burnsv. Miller, Hiersche, Martens &Hayward, P.€., 948S.W.2d

317, 324 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1997, writ denied). Therefore, lack of evidence to

support a turnover order is a relevant consideration in determining whether a trial

court abused its discretion in granting the order. BeaumontBank, 806 S.W.2dat 226.
 ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

The District Court did not abuse its discretion by entering an order
for turnover relief, because there was sufficient evidence to support
the District Court's order.

(In reply to Appellant's Issue No. I).

In his first issue, Appellant argues that there was no evidence to support the

trial court's order. A trial court's entry ofa turnover order is governed by Texas Civil

Practice and Remedies Code section 31.002. See, Tex. Civ. Prac. and Rem. Code

Ann. § 31.002(a) (Vernon 2015). Under that section, a judgment creditor is entitled

to receive aid from a court in order to reach property to obtain satisfaction on a

judgment "ifthe judgment debtor owns property... that: (1) cannot readily be attached

or levied on by ordinary legal process; and (2) is not exempt from attachment,

execution, or seizure for the satisfaction of liabilities." Id. Ifthe foregoing conditions

are met, the trial court may order the judgment debtor to turn over nonexempt

property to a designated sheriff or constable for execution, may otherwise apply the

property to the satisfaction of the judgment, or, as was the case in this instance, the

trial court may appoint a receiver with the authority to take possession of the

nonexempt property, to sell it, and to pay the proceeds to the judgment creditor as

required to satisfy the judgment. Id. § 31.002(b) (Vernon 2015).
 As specifically noted by the Court of Appeals in Tanner v. McCarthy, 274

5.W.3d 311, 322 (Tex. App. -Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, no pet).

Section 31.002 does not specify, or restrict,
the manner in which evidence may be received in
order for a t r i a l court to determine whether the
conditions of section 31.002(a) exist, nor does
it require that such evidence be in any
particular form, that it be at any particular
level of specificity, or that i t reach any
particular quantum before the court may grant
aid under section 31.002.

In fact. Section 31.002 does not even require that the trial court conduct an

evidentiary hearing prior to granting relief under the statute. Tanner, 274 S.W.3 at

322,fn.21.

Even though Section 31.002 does not specify the manner in which evidence

may be received by the trial court, or state the fonn, level of specificity or quantum

of evidence required to justify the issuance of a turnover order, a trial court is

required to have some evidence before it that establishes the existence of the

necessary conditions before the trial court can properly enter an order granting relief

under that section. Guerinot v. Wetherell, 2013 WL 2456741, at *4 (Tex. App. June

6, 2013), citing. Tanner, 274 S.W.3d at 322; Schultz v. Fifth Judicial Dist. Court of

Appeals at Dallas, 810 S.W.2d 738, 740 (Tex.l991)(holding that turnover statute

requires factual showing that judgment debtor has nonexempt property that is not
readily subject to ordinary execution); Clayton v. Wisener, 169 S.W.3d 682, 683-84

(Tex. App.-Tyler 2005, no pet.) (holding that trial court abused its discretion in

entering turnover order without any evidence of facts required by Section 31.002(a)

and based only on motion and argument of judgment creditor's counsel); accord

Beaumont Bank, 806 S.W.2d at 226 (holding that lack ofevidence to support turnover

order is relevant consideration in determining whether trial court abused its discretion

in entering order).

The basis of Appellant's first argument is the assertion that Appellee failed to

present competent evidence to support her request for turnover relief. That assertion

is simply incorrect.

The stated purpose of the turnover statute is to permit a judgment creditor to

reach intangible assets such as contract rights, accounts receivable, negotiable

instruments and corporate stocks, in addition to other assets that cannot readily be

attached or levied on by ordinary legal process. David Hittner, Texas Post-Judgment

Turnover & Receivership Statutes, 45 Tex. Bar J. 417, 417-18 (1982)(citing House

and Senate committee reports). At the hearing on Appellee's request for relief, the

trial court took judicial notice of the file and, specifically of the Final Decree of

Divorce signed by the trial court on 24 October 2012. (RR Vol. II11. 14-17). The

Final Decree ofDivorce reflects that Appellant was awarded, among other property,

10
an interest in two timeshares, seven separate bank accounts, life insurance policies

insuring Appellant's life as well as a life insurance policy insuring the life of a third

party, travel and hotel award benefits, timber and mineral interests, loan proceeds

from various loans, and a note receivable. (CR 41-45)(Applicable pages attached as

EX. 1 in the Appendix). All ofthese items constitute property that cannot readily be

attached or levied on by ordinary legal process.

Appellant does not join issue with the fact that the trial court had sufficient

evidence to support a request for turnover relief by virtue of having taken judicial

notice of the file. Instead, Appellant's argument in support of his first issue centers

around a challenge to the authenticity ofthe additional evidence that Appellee offered

to the Court in support of her request. Contrary to Appellant's assertion, the trust

document that Appellee offered into evidence at the hearing on her request for

turnover relief (Movant's Ex. 1) was a certified copy of"The Tedde R. Blunck Living

Trust" and therefore was self-authenticating under Rule 902( 1)(A) ofthe Texas Rules

of Evidence. The fact that the document was a certified copy is clearly evident from

the record. For the Court's benefit, a copy ofthe last page ofthe document, reflecting

the certification ofthe Camp County Clerk is included as APP EX. 2 in the Appendix

to this Brief.

11
 The import of the trust agreement is that it reflects on its face that Appellant

has certain valuable contract rights regarding property that Appellant had transferred

into his living trust. Those contract rights constitute assets that cannot readily be

attached or levied on by ordinary legal process.

With respect to the second exhibit that Appellee offered in support of her

request for turnover relief, that document also was self-authenticating under Rule 902

ofthe Texas Rules ofEvidence. Movant's Ex. 2 was copies ofthe required schedules

that Appellant had filed in connection with his bankruptcy, and which reflected,

among other things, Appellant's interest in certain accounts receivable, bank

accounts, and his law practice - all ofwhich are assets that cannot readily be attached

or levied on by ordinary legal process. Aside from the fact that the bankruptcy

schedules rellect that they were signed by Appellant under penalty of perjury, (which

should call into question the sincerity of his challenge as to the authenticity of the

exhibit), each page of Movant's Ex. 2 bears the electronic file stamp from the

Bankruptcy Court. In addressing a similar challenge to a docket sheet printed from

the uscourts.org website, the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals in Williams Farms

Produce Sales, Inc. v. R&G Produce Co., 443 S.W.Sd 250,259 (Tex. App. - Corpus

Christi 2014, no pet.) concluded.

12
 Relying on federal case law and the plain
language of the statute, we hold that documents
printed from government websites are
self-authenticating under Texas Rule of Evidence
902(5) .

The Court further explained,

In addition, under Texas law, evidence may be
authenticated by its [a] ppearance, contents,
substance, internal patterns, or other
distinctive characteristics, taken in
conjunction with circumstances" that support a
finding that a document is what its proponent
claims. Tex.R. Evid. 901(b) (4) . While we hold
that the documents printed from government
websites are self-authenticating under Rule
902(5), we also acknowledge that, because they
indicate they originated from government
websites, they could also have been internally
authenticated under Rule 901(b)(4). See id.;
Tienda v. State, 358 S.W.3d 633, 647 (Tex. Crim.
App.2012) (holding that printouts from MySpace
webpages were admissible because there was
sufficient evidence on them indicating that they
''were what they purported to be - MySpace pages
the contents of which the appellant was
responsible for"); see also U.S. E.E.O.C. v.
E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co.^ CIV. A. 03-1605,
2004 WL 2347559, at *2 (E.D.La. Oct. 18, 2004)
(finding that, in addition to being admissible
under Federa]. Rule of F,vidence 902 (5) , an
exhibit printed from a government website was
also admissible under the Rule 901 because i t
contained the i n t e r n e t domain address from the
website and the date on which i t was printed).

443 S.W.Sd at 259, fn. 7.

13
 In light of the foregoing, it is clear that the trial court did not abuse its

discretion by granting Appellee's request for turnover relief. The trial court clearly

had sufficient evidence upon which to base an order granting turnover relief

The District Court did not abuse its discretion by entering an order
that did not identify the specific property that was subject to
turnover.

(In reply to Appellant's Issue No. II).

In his second issue, Appellant makes the argument that the trial court's order

is invalid because it "fails to state specifically what non-exempt property in the

possession of Judgment Debtor is to be turned overor when it is to be turned over."

(Appellant's Briefat p. 20). Insupport of hisargument. Appellant citesthree separate

appellate opinions,' each of which predate the adoption of §31.002(h) of the Texas

Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Section 31.002(h) specifically provides,

(h) A court may enter or enforce an order under
this section that requires the turnover of non-
exempt property without identifying in the order
the specific property subject to turnover.

' Schultz V. Fifth Judicial Dist. Ct. ofApp. at Dallas, 810 S.W.2d 738, 740 (Tex.
1991); Mayer v. Mayer, 183 S.W.3cl 48,54 (Tex. App. -Austin 2005); Bergman v. Bergman,
828 S.W.2d 555. 557( Tex. App. -HI Paso. 1992. nowrit). The fourth case cited byAppellant
isan order From an United States Magistrate Judge whieh, aside from having noprecedential
value, is simply wrong. A review of the order, which is included in the Appendix as APP
EX. 3, reflects that it is based upon case law that predates the 2008 addition of § 31.002(h)
to the Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

14
 As stated by the Court of Appeals in Tanner v. McCarthy, 274 S.W.3d 311

(Tex. App. -Houston [1st Dist] 2008, no pet),

Indeed, section 31.002 does not require that a
judgment creditor seeking a turnover order
identify all, or even any, of the judgment
debtor's assets that are to be the subject of
the turnover order, nor does the statute require
the trial court to identify the specific
property subject to turnover in its turnover
order. See id. §31.002(h).

Appellant's argument that the trial court's order had to identify the specific

property that was subject to turnover is based on a line of cases that has been

specifically superseded by statute and is simply wrong.

The District Court did not abuse its discretion by establishing the
rate at which the Receiver would be paid and by including a finding
that the established rate was the customary and usual fee for a
receiver.

(In reply to Appellant's Issue No. 111).

In its order, the trial court specifically established the rate at which the

Receiver would be paid. Additionally, the trial court made a finding that the rate

established by the trial court is the customary and usual fee for a receiver. Appellant

misconstrues the trial court's order and argues, essentially, that the trial court has

prematurely ruled upon the validity of the Receiver's fees. That is simply not the

case. In order to be paid, the Receiver will need to submit a separate request for

15
payment and obtain approval from the trial court. See, Second Amended Order

Regarding Mandatory Reports of Judicial Appointments and Fees, S. Ct Misc.

Docket No. 07-9188 (Oct. .30, 2007). (APP EX. 4). The trial court's order makes no

attempt to usurp the requirements established by the Texas Supreme Court. Any

argument that Appellant may have regarding the reasonableness of charges can be

asserted by Appellant at the time the Receiver files a motion requesting payment and

would properly be addressed at that time. Appellant can cite this Court to no

authority which provides that it is improper for a trial court to establish the rate at

which a receiver is to be compensated and to include that rate in its turnover order.

The trial court's finding that the rate established by the trial court is the customary and

usual rate for a receiver is not a determination before the fact of the reasonableness

of the Receiver's fees. Accordingly, there was nothing improper about putting the

Receiver's rate in the turnover order or the trial court's finding in that regard.

PRAYER

For the reasons stated in this brief, Cathy A. Blunck respectfully asks this

Court to overrule the issues presented by Tedde R. Blunck and affirm the trial court's

order in all respects.
