JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT This is an interlocutory appeal from an Order rendered by a district court adverse to the Appellant by denying his Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code §27.003. STATEMENT OF THE CASE Appellee, Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc. filed a tortious interference lawsuit against Appellant, Bob Deuell who was a sitting state Senator. The lawsuit arises out of a series of political attack ads that were run by Appellee and the letters written by Appellant's lawyer to the radio stations that were running the ads. These letters complained of false and defamatory content and that the ads were illegal because they did not contain the disclosures required by the Texas Election Code. This is an appeal from a denial of a motion to dismiss the lawsuit pursuant to the Texas Citizens Partition Act ("the TCPA"). Procedurally, Appellee's lawsuit was filed on June 5, 2014. [C.R. at 4] However, Appellant was not served immediately. Appellant filed a timely Original Answer on August 11, 2014. [C.R. at 11]. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss was filed 1 on September 5, 2014. [C.R. at 14] Defendant argued that the case must be dismissed pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code because 1) the complained of speech was on a matter of public concern and thus protected by Defendant's free speech rights under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights to the Texas Constitution [C.R. at 15-16], 2) the affirmative defense of Judicial Privilege applied [C.R. at 16- 20], and 3) the affirmative defense of illegality applied. [C.R. at 20-21]. Appellant timely set the Motion to Dismiss for hearing on September 26, 2014. [C.R. at 70]. On September 24, 2014, two days prior to the hearing on Appellant's Motion to Dismiss, Appellee filed a First Amended Petition alleging a federal cause of action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. [C.R. at 80]. Also on September 24, 2014, Plaintiff filed its Response to Defendant's Chapter 27 Motion to Dismiss. [C.R. at 90]. Plaintiff only addressed Defendant's argument concerning Constitutionally protected freedom of speech and did not address the affirmative defenses. On September 25, 2014, Appellant filed a Notice of Removal and removed the case to federal court. [C.R. at 99]. In order to maintain Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, on October 15, 2014, Appellant filed Motions to Dismiss under Rule 12 and Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code in federal court [C.R. at 216]. Before the Court could rule on Appellant's Motions to Dismiss, Appellee 2 filed its Second Amended Complaint, voluntarily dismissing its federal cause of action. [C.R. at 273] and filed its Motion to Remand. [C.R. at 281]. On December 23, 2014, the federal court remanded the case back to the trial court. [C.R. at 364]. After remand, and without precedential guidance on Chapter 27 concerning the extension of time for a trial court to rule under these circumstances on January 7, 2015, the Appellant filed a Notice of Interlocutory Appeal to this Honorable Court, [C.R. at 367], under Case No. 01-15-00011-CV. Appellee's filed Motion to Dismiss the Appeal for Want of Jurisdiction. On February 24, 2015, this Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting Appellee's Motion to Dismiss because "the trial court below has neither denied Beuell 's (sic) section 27.003 motion to dismiss nor failed to rule on the motion within 30 days following the date of a hearing on the motion, the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code does not permit Beuell 's (sic) attempted interlocutory appeal." Once this matter was remanded back to the trial court, Appellant immediately set his Motion to Dismiss for hearing for March 16, 2015. [C.R. at 376]. However, Appellee argued that until the Court issued a Mandate, Appellant's motion could not be heard; therefore, the hearing was passed. On May 15, 2015, the Court issued the Mandate on this matter. On May 18, 2015, Appellant's Motion to Dismiss was reset to June 19, 2015. [C.R. at 378]. 3 On June 19, 2015, Appellant's Motion to Dismiss was heard before the Hon. Robert K. Schaffer. [R.R. at 1-27]. On July 1, 2015, Judge Schaffer issued an Order denying Appellant's Motion to Dismiss. [C.R. at 380]. The trial court below erred in denying Appellant's Motion to Dismiss. The trial court should have dismissed the tortious interference claim for three reasons: First, the trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because the communications complained of were based on, related to and in response to Appellant's exercise of the right of free speech. Second, the trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because Appellant established the affirmative defense, by a preponderance of evidence, that the communications complained of were privileged under the judicial privilege. Finally the trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because Appellant established the affirmative defense, by a preponderance of evidence, that the communications complained of were privileged because the contract that was allegedly interfered with was for an illegal purpose. ISSUES PRESENTED 1. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because the communications complained of related to Appellant's exercise of free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights under the Texas Constitution. 4 2. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant established the affirmative defense of judicial privilege by a preponderance of the evidence. 3. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant established the affirmative defense of illegal contract by a preponderance of the evidence. STATEMENT OF FACTS Appellee's lawsuit alleges only one cause of action, that being that Appellant tortuously interfered with Plaintiffs contracts to run certain radio ads with Cumulus Media and Salem Communications. [C.R. at 4, 273 and 281]. The ads in question were aired during the lead up to the Texas Republican Primary runoff election held on May 27, 2014. [C.R. at 24, 25 and 26] The ads were political ads that Appellant believes misrepresented the purpose and effect of certain legislation sponsored by Appellant as a State Senator for the State of Texas. That bill was Senate Bill 303 which was designed to add more protection to human life than the existing Texas Advance Directives Act of 1999. The ads contained what Appellant believes to be false information about Senate Bill 303 and false and defamatory information regarding Appellant. Appellee's ads also violated the Texas Election Code in that they did not contain the disclosures required by Texas Election Code 255.001. 5 In an exercise of Appellee's free speech rights under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights contained in the Texas Constitution, Appellant's lawyers, acting on his behalf, wrote letters to the broadcasters explaining in detail why the ads in question contained false and defamatory information and did not contain the proper disclosures required by Texas Election Code 255.001. [C.R. at 27-64] These letters also threatened legal action if the ads were not edited to omit the defamatory content and to include the disclosures required by the Texas Election Code. [C.R. at 27-64]. STANDARD OF APPELLATE REVIEW In order to obtain a dismissal under Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, a defendant must show 'by a preponderance of evidence that the legal action is based on, relates to, or is in response to the party's exercise of the right of free speech; the right to petition; or the right of association." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 27 .005(b). This determination is reviewed de novo as an application of law to the facts. See Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston, Inc. v. John Moore Serv., Inc., 441 S.W.3d 345, 353 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist] 2013, pet. denied). The Court may not dismiss the action ifthe non-movant can establish, by clear and specific evidence, a prima facie case for each essential element of the claim in question. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.005(c). 6 "Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (c), the court shall dismiss a legal action against the moving party if the moving party establishes by a preponderance of the evidence each essential element of a valid defense to the nonmovant's claim." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.005(d). "In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is based." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 27.006(a). SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT 1. Free Speech: The TCPA defines "the exercise of the right of free speech" as "a communication made in connection with a matter of public concern." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.001(3). A sitting State Senator commenting on legislation he sponsored in the Texas Senate is pure political speech and exactly the kind of free speech that the TCPA was designed to protect. Such comments were about a matter of public concern (the election contest and the intent and effect of Senate Bill 303) as defined in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 27.001(3). The trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because Appellant proved by a preponderance of the evidence that Appellee's lawsuit was based on Appellant's exercise of his right of free speech. See Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 27.005(1). If Appellant met his burden, then the burden shifts to Appellee to 7 establish, by clear and specific evidence, a prima facie case for each element of the claim in question. Appellee was unable to meet this burden because Appellee failed to attach copies of the alleged contracts that were subject to interference and the only affidavit evidence attached to Appellee's response to the Motion to Dismiss fails to provide clear and specific evidence. 2. Judicial Immunity: Regardless of whether Appellee was able to establish a prima facie case for each element of its tortious interference claim, the TCPA requires that the Court dismiss an Appellee's legal action against Appellant because Appellant established by a preponderance of the evidence each essential element of the valid defense of judicial immunity. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.00S(d). The Court could only look to the pleadings and the affidavits on file, so the unchallenged allegations regarding the judicial immunity defense and the unchallenged Affidavit of Scott M. Tschirhart are the only evidence on this matter available to the Court. Therefore, the defense of judicial immunity was established by a preponderance of the evidence and the Court should have granted Appellant's Motion to Dismiss. 3. Illegal Contract: Regardless of whether Appellee was able to establish a prima facie case for each element of its tortious interference claim, the TCPA requires that the Court dismiss an Appellee's legal action against Appellant because Appellant established by a preponderance of the evidence each essential element of 8 the valid defense of illegal contract. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.005(d). The Court could only look to the pleadings and the affidavits on file, so the unchallenged allegations regarding the illegal contract defense and the unchallenged Affidavit of Scott M. Tschirhart are the only evidence on this matter available to the Court. Therefore, the defense of illegal contract was established by a preponderance of the evidence and the Court should have granted Appellant's Motion to Dismiss. ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITIES 1. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because the communications complained of related to Appellant's exercise of free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights under the Texas Constitution. Exercise of Free Speech "Exercise of the right of free speech" means a communication made in connection with a matter of public concern. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.001(3) "Communication" includes the making or submitting of a statement or document in any form or medium, including oral, visual, written, audiovisual, or electronic. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.001(1) Appellant hired an attorney to send letters to Cumulus Media and Salem Communications in order to complain about certain political attack ads that misrepresented the purpose and effect of certain legislation sponsored by Appellant 9 as a State Senator for the State of Texas. [C.R. at 27-64]. That bill was Senate Bill 303 which was designed to add more protection to human life than the existing Texas Advance Directives Act of 1999. The ads in question were aired during the lead up to the Texas Republican Primary runoff election held on May 27, 2014. The ads contained false information about Senate Bill 303 and false and defamatory information regarding Appellant. Appellant's attorney wrote a series of letters to Cumulus Media and Salem Communications demanding that they cease and desist in running the false and defamatory ads. [C.R. at 27-64]. A sitting State Senator commenting on a matter of public concern, in this case commenting on political ads that contained false and defamatory information related to the Senator and legislation that he sponsored in the Texas Senate, is pure political speech. This is exactly the kind of speech that the TCPA is designed to protect. Appellee's lawsuit is designed specifically to discourage candidates and office holders from opposing Appellee in any way or even to question the legality of their ads. As the Affidavit of Scott M. Tschirhart shows, the scripts were changed to delete certain defamatory and false information and modified to include the language required by the Texas Election Code. [C.R. at 65]. Appellant established, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the communications complained of involve the exercise of the right of free speech as required by Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §27.005(b)(l). Therefore the 10 Court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit. In connection with the dismissal, the Court should have awarded attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code§ 27.009 or remand the case back to the trial court to make a determination of the proper measure of attorneys' fees and costs to be awarded to Appellant. Shift of Burden Since Appellant has established that the communications complained of involve the exercise of the right of free speech, the burden shifted to Appellee to establish, by clear and specific evidence, all of the elements of a cause of action for tortious interference with contact. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code §27.005(c). In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is based. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.006(a). In order to establish a cause of action for tortious interference, a plaintiff must prove (1) that a contract subject to interference exists; (2) that the defendant committed a willful and intentional act of interference with the contract; (3) that the plaintiff sustained actual damages or loss. See ACS Investors, Inc. v. McLaughlin, 943 S. W.2d 426, 430 (Tex. 1997). In order to avoid dismissal pursuant to the TCPA, a plaintiff must establish each of these elements by clear and specific evidence. Tex. 11 Civ. Prac. & Rem Code§ 27.005(c). The only evidence submitted by Appellee in the present case is the Affidavit of James J. Graham. [C.R. at 95]. Appellee fails to establish the first element; that a contract subject to interference exists, because the Affidavit of James J. Graham is conclusory and does not reference the terms of any specific contract(s). There simply is no clear and specific evidence that the contract( s) exist. Because Appellee failed to attach copies of the alleged contracts, there is no way to determine that the contracts are not subject to interference. See ACS Investors, Inc. v. McLaughlin, 943 S.W.2d 426, 43l(Tex. 1997)(finding that the express terms of the contract in question showed that it was not subject to tortious interference allegations, and therefore the defendant could not have interfered as a matter of law.). Absent the express language of the alleged contracts, there is no clear and specific evidence that the alleged contracts are not subject to interference or that Appellee is even a party to said contract(s). Additionally, the Affidavit of James J. Graham does not address the illegality of the alleged contract(s) for failure to have the disclosures required by the Texas Election Code§ 255.001. A defendant cannot be held liable for tortious interference with a contract that is unenforceable because it is illegal. See Flynn Bros. V. First Med. Assocs., 715 S.W.2d 782, 785 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1986, writ refd. n.r.e.). A contract is illegal if the contract or its performance will result in a willful violation of a constitution, 12 statute or ordinance. GNG Gas Systems v. Dean, 921S.W.2d421, 427 (Tex. App.- Amarillo 1996 writ denied); Araiza v. Chapa, 319 S.W.2d 742, 743 {Tex. App.- San Antonio 1958, writ refd n.r.e). "A contract to do a thing which cannot be performed without a violation of the law is void." Lewis v. Davis, 199 S.W.2d 146, 148-49 {Tex. 1947). In this case, the contracts called for the radio stations to run political advertisements that violated Texas Election Code 255.001. Texas Election Code 255.001 prohibits a person- including a corporate entity-from broadcasting political advertising containing express advocacy that does not indicate in the advertising the following: (1) that it is political advertising; and (2) the full name of the person who paid for the political advertising. These advertisements ended with "Proudly paid for by Texas Right to Life." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. The scripts of the advertisements do not contain an acknowledgement that they are, in fact, "political advertising." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. Nor do they contain the full name of the person who paid for the advertising. [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. Therefore, the alleged contracts and the performance thereof, would have resulted in a willful violation of a statute, the Texas Election Code§ 255.001. Because the Affidavit of James J. Graham does not address the illegality of the alleged contracts, it does not provide the clear and specific evidence required to avoid dismissal. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code§ 27.005(c). 13 The Affidavit ofJames J. Graham likewise fails to provide clear and specific evidence with regard to the second and third elements as well. With regard to the required element that the defendant committed a willful and intentional act of interference with the contract, the Affidavit only refers to a hearsay statement: On or about May 14, 2014, Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc., received notice from Cumulus Media and Salem Communications that agents of Mr. Deuell had contacted them and that they were suspending the airing of our commercials based upon the legal threats made by Mr. Deuell. [C.R. at 96]. This allegation is not only hearsay, but it is not clear and specific about what individual from either Cumulus Media or Salem Communications sent the notice. It is not clear and specific about what the form of the notice was. It is not clear and specific about what individual employee or agent of Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc. received the notice. It is not specific as to the contents of the notice. It is not even specific as to the nature of the alleged tortious act. The Affidavit of James J. Graham does not provide the clear and specific evidence necessary to prove that Appellant committed a willful and intentional act of interference with any specific contract and it does not provide the clear and specific evidence required to avoid dismissal. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code§ 27.005(c). 14 Likewise, the Affidavit ofJames J. Graham fails to provide clear and specific evidence with regard to the required element that the plaintiff sustained actual damages or loss. The Affidavit merely contains a conclusory statement that: Recognizing that Mr. Deuell's interference had disrupted the timing and effectiveness of the radio advertisements originally contemplated by Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc., the organization recognized that it needed to take remedial measures to make up for the lost advertising time so it contracted with CBS Radio Texas for additional airtime in the Dallas/Ft Worth media market for the new radio advertisement. Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc., paid approximately $15,037 for the placement and airing of the new radio advertisements with CBS Radio Texas. [C.R. at 97]. This statement does not provide clear and specific evidence as to how many times the existing ads did not run. The statement does not provide clear and specific evidence of the content of the replacement ads. The statement does not provide clear and specific evidence of the number of times the ads on CBS Radio Texas were run. The statement does not provide clear and specific evidence that the ads were targeted in any way to the same audience or time spots that the Cumulus Media or Salem Communications ads would have reached, in fact, because the ads were run on different stations, it would be logical to conclude that these ads were targeted at a different audience. Therefore, the Affidavit of James J. Graham does not provide the clear and specific evidence necessary to prove that Appellee sustained any actual damages required to avoid dismissal. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code § 27 .005(c). 15 Because Appellee cannot carry the burden of showing, by clear and specific evidence, every element of its tortious interference claim, the Court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit. In connection with the dismissal, the Court should have awarded attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code§ 27.009. 2. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant established the affirmative defense of judicial privilege by a preponderance of the evidence. Judicial Privilege Even if the Appellee could establish, by clear and specific evidence, every element of its tortious interference claim (and it cannot do so), the Court must dismiss Appellee's lawsuit if Appellant establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, each essential element of a valid defense to Appellee's tortious interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.005(d). The Texas Supreme Court described the judicial privilege in this manner: "Any communication, oral or written, uttered or published in the due course of a judicial proceeding is absolutely privileged and cannot constitute the basis of a civil action in damages for slander or libel. The falsity of the statement or the malice of the utterer is immaterial, and the rule of nonliability prevails even though the statement was not relevant, pertinent and material to the issues involved in the case." 16 Reagan v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 166 S.W.2d 909, 912 (Tex. 1942). The Court later expanded the scope of the privilege beyond slander and libel. See Bird v. W.C.W., 868 S.W.2d 767, 771-72 (Tex. 1994) (extending the absolute privilege to pre-trial proceedings and statements defeating the plaintiffs negligence claim where plaintiffs damages were basically defamation damages.). "Although most cases addressing the judicial communications privilege involve claims of libel or slander, Texas courts have consistently applied the privilege to claims arising out of communications made in the course of judicial proceedings, regardless of the label placed on the claim." Laub v. Pesikoff, 979 S.W.2d 686, 690 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 1998 pet. denied). The judicial immunity recognized in Bird is not limited only to claims styled as defamation claims, but instead extends to "claims arising out of communications made in the course of judicial proceedings, regardless of the label placed on the claim." Crain v. Unauthorized Practice of Law Comm., l 1S.W.3d 328, 335 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. denied). It is well established under Texas law that letters written by attorneys in anticipation oflitigation are absolutely privileged. See Russell v. Clark, 620 S.W.2d 865, 869 (Tex. App-Dallas 1981, writ refd n.r.e.) "An attorney at law is absolutely privileged to publish defamatory matter concerning another in communications preliminary to a proposed judicial proceeding, or in the institution of, or during the course and as a part of, a judicial proceeding in which he participates as counsel, 17 if it has some relation to the proceeding." Id. (emphasis added); see also Watson v. Kaminski, 51 S.W.3d 825, 827-28 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist] 2001, no pet)(holding that an attorney's letter alleging that a prisoner was trying to extort money from appellants and that he was likely to be sued if he attempted to do so came within the judicial privilege even though no litigation was pending.); Krishnan v. Law Offices of Preston Henrichson, P.C., 83 S.W.3d 295, 301-03 (Tex. App.- Corpus Christi 2002, pet. denied)(finding that an attorney's letters sent to a doctor to give notice of a negligence claim [under 4590i] and to request records, even though suit was never actually filed, were made in contemplation of judicial proceeding and were therefore privileged); Crain v. Smith, 22 S.W.3d 58, 62-63 (Tex. App.-Corpus Christi 2000, no pet.). Even if the potential litigants later decide not to file suit, "[t]here is no requirement that a person actually get sued for the privilege to apply; only that the statements are related to a contemplated judicial proceeding." Krishnan, 83 S.W.3d at 302-03. Whether a lawyer's out-of-court statement is related to a proposed or existing judicial proceeding is a question of law to be determined by the court. When deciding the issue, "the court must consider the entire communication in its context, and must extend the privilege to any statement that bears some relation to an existing or proposed judicial proceeding." All doubt should be resolved in favor of the relevancy of the statement. Dallas Ind. Sch. Dist. v. Fin/an, 27 S.W.3d 220, 239 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2000, pet. denied)(quoting Russell.); see also Daystar Residential, Inc. v. Collmer, 176 S.W.3d 18 24, 28 (Tex. App.- Houston [Pt Dist] 2004, writ denied)(finding that statements made by a lawyer to a newspaper in contemplation of and preliminary to filing suit were absolutely privileged). The absolute judicial privilege applies to tortious interference with contract claims. See Griffin v. Rowden, 702 S.W.2d 692, 695 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1985, writ ref d n.r.e)(holding that the filing of a /is pendens was absolutely privileged in an action for tortious interference with contract.); Crain v. Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee, 11 S.W.3d 328, 335 (Tex. App.-Houston [Pt Dist.], 1999 pet denied)( concluding that prior testimony by a witness was subject to the affirmative defense of absolute immunity to a claim oftortious interference). In the present case, the communications complained of are demand letters sent to radio stations. [C.R. at 27-64]. Each of these letters was sent by Scott Tschirhart, an attorney representing Senator Deuell. [C.R. at 27-64]. Each of these letters specifically warn of anticipated litigation. [C.R. at 27-64] These letters request if the recipient will accept service of process or whether suit must be served on their registered agents. [C.R. at 27-64]. These letters contain notices of litigation hold and preservation demands, including: LITIGATION HOLD & PRESERVATION DEMAND You are hereby on notice and should have reason to believe that litigation may result from the claims described above ... pursuant to state and federal law, you are now under a legal duty to preserve all 19 evidence, whether printed or electronic that might become relevant in this matter... [C.R. at 27-64]. Finally, these letters include admonitions for the recipients to contact their legal counsel immediately. [C.R. at 27-64]. Since the communications complained of are clearly demand letters sent from an attorney in anticipation of litigation, '"the court must consider the entire communication in its context, and must extend the privilege to any statement that bears some relation to an existing or proposed judicial proceeding.' All doubt should be resolved in favor of the relevancy of the statement." Dallas Ind. Sch. Dist. v. Fin/an, 27 S.W.3d 220, 239 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2000, pet. denied). Appellee has offered no controverting evidence, and in its Response to Appellant's Motion to Dismiss, Appellee failed to address the judicial privilege defense in any way. [C.R. at 90]. In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is based. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.006(a). Since, there are no challenges to the pleadings or controverting affidavits on file with regard to the defense of judicial privilege, Appellant has established, by a preponderance of the evidence, each essential element of a valid defense of judicial 20 privilege to Appellee's tortious interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.005(d). The court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit and this Court should likewise dismiss Appellee's lawsuit. In connection with the dismissal, the Court should award attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 27.009 or remand the case back to the trial court to make a determination of the proper measure of attorneys' fees and costs to be awarded to Appellant. 3. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant established the affirmative defense of illegal contract by a preponderance of the evidence. Illegal Contract Even if the Appellee could establish, by clear and specific evidence, every element of its tortious interference claim (and it cannot do so), the Court must dismiss Appellee's lawsuit if Appellant establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, each essential element of a valid defense to Appellee's tortious interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.005(d). A defendant cannot be held liable for tortious interference with a contract that is unenforceable because it is illegal. See Flynn Bros. V. First Med. Assocs., 715 S.W.2d 782, 785 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1986, writ refd. n.r.e.). A contract is illegal 21 if the contract or its performance will result in a willful violation of a constitution, statute or ordinance. GNG Gas Systems v. Dean, 921S.W.2d421, 427 {Tex. App.- Amarillo 1996 writ denied); Araiza v. Chapa, 319 S.W.2d 742, 743 {Tex. App.- San Antonio 1958, writ ref'd n.r.e). "A contract to do a thing which cannot be performed without a violation of the law is void." Lewis v. Davis, 199 S.W.2d 146, 148-49 {Tex. 1947). In this case, the contracts called for the radio stations to run political advertisements that violated Texas Election Code §255.001. Texas Election Code 255.001 prohibits a person-including a corporate entity- from broadcasting political advertising containing express advocacy that does not indicate in the advertising the following: (1) that it is political advertising; and (2) the full name of the person who paid for the political advertising. These advertisements ended with "Proudly paid for by Texas Right to Life." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. The scripts of the advertisements do not contain an acknowledgement that they are, in fact, "political advertising." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. Therefore, the alleged contracts and the performance thereof, would have resulted in a willful violation of a statute, the Texas Election Code. After the letters dated May 19, 2014 (which specifically complained about the violation of the Texas Election Code) were sent, the scripts of the advertisements were changed to include language that complied with the Texas Election Code and no further letters were sent to the radio stations. [C.R. at 65-66]. 22 Appellee has offered no controverting evidence, and in its Response to Appellant's Motion to Dismiss, Appellee failed to address the illegal contract defense in any way. [C.R. at 90]. Appellee argued for the first time at the hearing on June 19, 2015 that the Texas Election Code provision was no longer enforceable. [R.R. at 6, 7]. However, In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is based. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.006(a). Since, there are no challenges to the pleadings or controverting affidavits on file with regard to the defense of illegal contract, Appellant has established, by a preponderance of the evidence, each essential element of a valid defense of illegal contract to Appellee's tortious interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.00S(d). Because the contracts and the performance thereof, would have resulted in a willful violation of a statute, namely the Texas Election Code, the Court must find that Appellant has established, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the contracts were illegal and Appellant has established the affirmative defense of illegality. Therefore, the Court must dismiss Appellee's lawsuit pursuant to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §27.00S(d). In connection with the dismissal, the Court should award attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil 23 Practice & Remedies Code § 27.009 or remand the case back to the trial court to make a determination of the proper measure of attorneys' fees and costs to be awarded to Appellant. PRAYER WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant Bob Deuell prays the Court dismiss Appellee's lawsuit pursuant to Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, and award Appellant his appellate costs and remand the case to the trial court for a determination of court costs, reasonable attorney's fees, and other expenses incurred in defending this legal action pursuant to Section 27.009(1) of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code as well as sanctions against Appellee that the trial court may determine would be sufficient to deter Appellee from bringing similar actions in the future pursuant to Section 27 .009(2) of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code and for such further relief to which Appellant is justly entitled. 24 SIGNED on this the 24th day of August, 2015.
