TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:
Ernest R. Koonce, Relator, and those similarly situated,
respectfully submits this request for the Court to take judicial
notice of the trial court’s notice of final disposition of this case.
Appendix “A1” is a true and correct, certified copy of Exhibit “A1” to
Koonce’s response to Wells Fargo’s plea in abatement filed in the
295th Judicial Court of Harris County (“Third Lawsuit”), “Judge
Baker’s” court under cause no. 2010-79323. The Court should note
this is a postcard from the court showing the case was nonsuited
and final disposition. There’s no indication of any partial nonsuit, it
was a notice the entire case had been dismissed.
Although it might not be as clear as it should have been,
WF’s position at the 8/12/12 hearing is inconsistent with its
current position. At the 8/12/12 hearing (See RR, P.3-4), WF
claimed it had a right to file the late cross-complaint because it was
done during the court’s plenary power. This is inconsistent with its
current claims that WF Trust is a separate entity and wasn’t
nonsuited. WF changes positions in its pursuit of vexatious
litigation as often as a new mother changes diapers, and whenever
it suits them, just to get an unfair advantage and take advantage of
Page 4 of 7
a pro se litigant. This type of conduct, if tolerated, breeds disrespect
for and threatens the integrity of our judicial system. Likewise with
WF admittedly filing multiple lawsuits on the same cause of action.
These changes in position and intentional delays by the trial court
and WF have impaired Koonce’s rights. The trial court dismissed
the case in its entirety, and then months or years later, decided to
reinstate it without notice, without a hearing and without any
jurisdiction to do so. This substantially impaired Koonce’s rights to
the nonsuit and dismissal of the entire action.
Lastly, Koonce asks this Court to take judicial notice of
Mullane v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 314, 70
S.Ct. 652, 657, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950). It is "[a]n elementary and
fundamental requirement of due process" that notice must be
"reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise
interested parties of the pendency of the action and afford them an
opportunity to present their objections."Mullane v. Cent. Hanover
Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 314, 70 S.Ct. 652, 657, 94 L.Ed.
865 (1950). "The notice must be of such nature as reasonably to
convey the required information and it must afford a reasonable
time for those interested to make their appearance." Id., [Internal

is a mere gesture is not due process."
