We see no difference in the agreements in the Houston Cement case, where the value of inventory was specified in the agreements but the agreements did not accurately reflect the value of actual inventory on hand, and the agreement in the present case, where the value of “transmission line(s)” was specified in the a greement but the agreement did not accurately reflect the actual value of the transmission lines present.

Gallaher is factually distinguishable as well. Gallaher involved a newspaper article in which, absent attribution language, a reader would have virtually no ability to determine whether the allegation was being leveled by the newspaper, or whether the newspaper was only reporting (accurately) that the allegation had been made. The Program, on the other hand, is a visual documentary, not a written article. Documentary viewers can easily discern when an allegation is being leveled by an interviewee and not the documentarian, not least because they can see the interviewee saying it out loud. Imposing a “THIS IS A THIRD-PARTY ALLEGATION” disclaimer requirement would not only reach beyond the statute’s plain text, but would be absurd under the facts presented.

This Plan amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated OSI Systems, Inc.

However, we agree with our sister court that the third Penn Central factor weighs heavily against finding a taking in this case. See id. at *8.

The court of appeals largely based its decision on Bayou Terrace Investment Corp. v. Lyles, which held that a “lis pendens is a part of the judicial process and the resulting absolute privilege bars a suit for damages arising from the filing of the lis pendens.” 881 S.W.2d 810, 818 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, no writ) (citing Prappas v. Meyerland Cmty. Improv. Ass’n, 795 S.W.2d 794, 799 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1990, writ denied)). The court then concluded that extension of the privilege was justified because “[a]n abstract of judgment, likewise, is a part of a judicial proceeding in that it is a necessary step to convert a money judgment into a judicial lien that may later be executed against real property to satisfy a judgment.” 2022 WL 1038372, at *6 (citations omitted).

Because of its historic designation, the Texaco building was eligible to participate in the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentive Program. The federal program is administered by the Internal Revenue Service and was created to incentivize the private sector to invest in the rehabilitation and re-use of historic buildings by offering federal income tax credits to developers undertaking such efforts. The income tax credits are available for qualified rehabilitation expenditures (also known as QREs), which are amounts spent on the rehabilitation of historic components of a building, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior.

As discussed above, the Oncor’s pet. complains of actions taken by the Wilbarger CAD, which does not fall within the scope of the DJA’s express waiver provisions. Sefzik, 355 S.W.3d at 622 (finding no waiver of immunity under the DJA where the Plaintiff did not challenge the validity of a statute, but TxDOT's actions under it). In a similar case, Boll v. Cameron Appraisal Dist., 445 S.W.3d 397 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2013, no pet. ), property owners sued under the DJA challenging the purported unconstitutional and unlawful taxation of their trailer homes. The appellate court found that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to hear any of the property owners’ claims under the DJA, including their claim for attorney's fees, because they were not challenging the validity of a provision of the Tax Code. Instead, they were challenging the appraisal district's actions under it, and the DJA did not expressly waive immunity for those claims. Id. at 400. Like the plaintiffs in Boll and Sefzik, Oncor here does not challenge a particular ordinance or statute. Accordingly, the DJA does not waive immunity and the trial court lacks jurisdiction to hear Oncor’s claims under the DJA against Wilbarger CAD. Id. C. There is no jurisdiction under the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act Oncor cannot challenge the assessment of ad valorem taxes on its property through the Declaratory Judgment Act because the Texas Property Tax Code is a pervasive regulatory scheme that provides the exclusive means for taxpayers to resolve valuation disputes. See TEX. TAX CODE § 42.09 (“Remedies Exclusive”); In re ExxonMobil Corp ., 153 S.W.3d 605, 617 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2004, orig. proceeding). Furthermore, the Texas Supreme Court has held that “the Act cannot be invoked when it would interfere with some other exclusive remedy or some other entity's exclusive jurisdiction.” MBM Fin. Corp. v. Woodlands Operating Co., L.P ., 292 S.W.3d 660, 669 (Tex. 2009). The Declaratory Judgment Act cannot be used as a vehicle to avoid or evade the exclusive administrative process and remedies in the tax code. Fort Worth v.

Barina’s attempt to read an attribution requirement into the statute finds no support in the cases she cites. In Gallaher, the court noted (in dicta ) the defendant newspaper’s attribution, stating that it “expressly qualified its reporting with sourcing language.” Resp. Br. at 32 (citing 2022 WL 2071779 at *9). But the court did not hold that such sourcing language was required for the third-party-allegation rule to apply. Instead, the court made clear that, “to be accorded summary judgment on this so-called ‘third-party allegation’ defense, the Newspaper had only to conclusively prove that it accurately reported the information it received [...]— which it did.” Id. at *9 (emphasis added); accord Hall at 380 (“[M]edia outlets that accurately report allegations made by a third party about matters of public concern can assert the truth as a defense.”).

This was merely reiterating a well-established fact that all the parties were already aware of. Fleming Defendants had tried to block certain evidence for allegedly violating a very old confidentiality agreement with the drug company, and to avoid that result Wilson Plaintiffs had always indicated a willingness to sign a confidentiality agreement if that would help with admissibility for their trials when they eventually came up. But such a confidentiality agreement was never made, the evidence was never allowed in, and pointing out Wilson Plaintiffs ’ willingness to make a confidentiality agreement does not mean that the Wilson Plaintiffs somehow controlled or represented the Harpst Plaintiffs or vice versa.

Osprin complains that the trial court erred when it concluded that Backes was released and discharged from all of his obligations under the guaranty agreement when the conditions of the termination clause were fulfilled. Osprin argues that the termination clause should be 15 interpreted to mean that the fulfilled conditions only discharged and released future, executory obligations. Relying on cases in which a party exercised its right to terminate a contract, Osprin insists that terminating a contract only relieves the party of liability on defaults that occur after the termination date but does not discharge obligations that have arisen and matured before the termination date.

Sections 1.111(e)(2) and 25.25(c-1)(4) and (d-1) may readily be harmonized to give effect to both. Sections (c-1)(4) (d-1) create a bar to bringing a motion for correction under sub-sections (c-1) and (d), the sections for correcting rendition errors and value errors that exceed 1/3 of the appraised value. One of named exceptions to each is that the property owner appeared and offered evidence on the same issue at a protest hearing under §§ 41.41, 41.45. Creating a list of disqualifiers for bringing a sub-sections (c-1) and (d) motions that does not list the disqualifier of having previously entered a § 1.111(e) agreement could be interpreted to implicitly repeal § 1.111(e)(2) as applied to sub-sections (c-1) and (d) motions. Thus, the disqualifier of § 1.111(e)(2) is repeated in § 25.25(c-1)(4) and (d-1). Both statutes are thus given effect.

The legislature has vested the power to determine whether a claimant is entitled to workers' compensation benefits solely in Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers Compensation (DWC), subject to judicial review. A trial court cannot adjudicate an employee's claim for bad-faith denial of workers' compensation benefits without first determining whether that employee was entitled to benefits at the time of the denial, a question within the Commission's exclusive jurisdiction. And the Commission's exclusive jurisdiction to determine compensability necessarily encompasses exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether an injury or death occurred in the course and scope of employment. Tex. Lab. Code Ann. § 401.011(10) defines compensable injury as an injury that arises out of and in the course and scope of employment for which compensation is payable.

Under Texas law, an unconscionable contract is unenforceable. Id. at 348. “[T]he theory behind unconscionability in contract law is that courts should not enforce a transaction so one-sided, with so gross a disparity in the values exchanged, that no rational contracting party would have entered the contract.” In re Olshan Found.

By July 2016, the anticipated amount of QREs to be incurred on rehabilitating the Texaco building increased, which resulted in an expectancy of more state tax credits than anticipated when the bridge loan closed. TX 1111 provided updated and audited projections of QREs to First NBC and requested additional funding based on the availability of additional state tax credits to serve as collateral. Based on these projections, First NBC loaned TX 1111 an additional $10,000,000. On July 5, 2016, First NBC and TX 1111 entered into an Amended Bridge Loan Agreement to reflect the additional $10,000,000 extension of credit. An Amended Assignment Agreement was also executed to reflect TX 1111 ’s assignment of increased Contributions it expected to receive for the state tax credits, as well as an indirect and contingent interest in contributions from the federal tax credit investor. Neither the note nor the security and pledge agreement were amended. Likewise, the guaranty was neither amended nor increased.

Instead, it informs jurors of the legal mechanics of a motion to strike proceeding as colored by the factual allegations here. Any comment on the evidence is the definition of incidental. See Bilotto, 985 S.W.2d at 24. The best sense I can make of the majority's reading—to the extent it considers the “incidentally” language in rule 277 at all—is that incidental means only small or minuscule. But that ignores the other use of incidental, which is “liable to happen as a consequence of an activity.” 2 The majority cites several cases to support a conclusion that the instruction directly instructed jurors how the court had ruled and is objectionable for that reason. 3 But unlike those cases, the court here made no announcement that it had concluded either party was correct on any issue, and it gave no hint that the court favored one party over the other because it had already decided for that party on particular issues. The majority hyperelasticizes the principle those cases stand for and in the process, ignores the incidental effect an instruction might have as opposed to a specific instruction regarding prior final findings the court has made.

Respondents ultimately correctly concede that appraisal review boards and courts “may examine a settlement agreement to discern its contents” to determine “what the agreement covered” and what the settlement precludes a tribunal from doing. See Respondents’ Brief at 24. They even argue that it would be “irrational” not to acknowledge a tribunal’s power to do that. Id. at 25. According to Respondents, “[o]therwise, one could argue that the existence of any settlement agreement with an appraisal district on any property, with any owner[,] precluded any subsequent protest.” Id. That is exactly what Respondents are arguing to this Court. The argument is, indeed, irrational. Courts must have the power to construe section 1.111(e) agreements to determine whether they bar subsequent claims.

The Mandarino and Hays courts correctly read Section 51.003(a) by harmonizing it not only with Section 16.004, but other law regarding limitations. If the Note is a negotiable instrument, it is governed by Texas Business & Commerce Code § 3.118, and limitations could not run until either acceleration or the last installment due date. If the Note is not a negotiable instrument, nevertheless Texas law considers it an installment loan, with a breach occurring each time an installment payment is missed. Gabriel v. Alhabbal, 618 S.W.2d 894, 897 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1981, writ ref’d n.r.e.); Goldfield v. Kassoff, 470 S.W.2d 216, 217 (Tex.Civ.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1971, no writ); Stille v. Colborn, 740 S.W.2d 42, 44 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1987). There could thus be no “accrual” of all monetary obligations under the Note unless Respondent exercised its optional acceleration clause. The demand for payment was an integral part of the cause of action, and a condition precedent to the right to sue; this means that the statute of limitations did not begin to run until the demand was made.

In listing the additional evidence attached to the summary judgment record in Briggs, the Fourth Circuit observed: “In addition to the OCIP manual and the documents previously discussed, the record also includes an affidavit from Mitsui's [the workers carrier] vice president and regional claims manager, Dale Wimer. *16 Wimer's affidavit states Toyota manufacturing “purchased an insurance policy from Mitsui under which multiple entities received workers' compensation insurance” and notes the “OCIP was purchased for work performed at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in San Antonio, Texas.” The affidavit also states Briggs received workers' compensation benefits under the policy purchased by Toyota Manufacturing. In addition, the record contains the deposition testimony of Toyota Manufacturing's OCIP coordinator, Lauri Andrews. Andrews testified she believed the Walbridge/Bartlett Cocke joint venture was participating in the OCIP because its venturers, i.e., Walbridge Aldinger Company and Bartlett Cocke L.P., each had insurance policies issued to them by Mitsui. She further stated that a contractor “would be in violation of their contract with Toyota likely” if it was not enrolled in the OCIP. ” Briggs at 283.

But the “communication” granted absolute privilege by the court of appeals here is an abstract of judgment that was not made during a judicial proceeding and plays no role in protecting the rights of the general public to full and free administration of justice—it protects only the pocketbooks of specific institutions by hampering other individuals’ right to sell their property. By definition, an abstract of judgment must be filed after “judgment was rendered” at the conclusion of a judicial proceeding. TEX. PROP. CODE § 52.003. Upon recording in the real property records, it “constitutes a lien on and attaches to any real property of the [judgment debtor].” Id. § 52.001.

It is certainly true that in very limited circumstances described in TEX. TAX CODE § 25.25(c) a property owner is allowed to contest aspects of appraisals five years in arrears. But, that is not the case when the property owner and appraisal district have reached an agreement on the value pursuant to TEX. TAX CODE § 1.111(e).

It applied an affirmative test; i.e., that property is community which is acquired by the work, efforts or labor of the spouses or their agents, as income from their property, or as a gift to the community. Such property, acquired by the joint efforts of the spouses, was regarded as acquired by ‘onerous title’ and belonged to the community. Norris v.

In fact, the majority's supercharged version of Griggs contradicts its own account of Congress's intent. Consider the statutes that the majority points to as models of how Congress would reject a mandatory-general-stay rule. Ante, at 1921 – 1922, and n. 6; see supra, at 1925 – 1926. Under those statutes, the majority says, Congress intends that an interlocutory appeal does **1929 “ not ... automatically stay district court proceedings.” Ante, at 1921. Yet, the majority also seemingly accepts that under those statutes, “the Griggs principle applies.” Ante, at 1920. And per “the Griggs principle” as the majority sees it, in some cases an interlocutory appeal does automatically stay district court proceedings. Ante, at 1919 – 1920. So a mandatory general stay is thus both prohibited (by the statutory text) and required (by the majority's view of Griggs ). 3 As this contradiction underscores, the majority's *757 holding is untethered from any statute and any existing conception of Griggs .

The carrier began providing workers' compensation benefits, but it later disputed the claim on the grounds that a condition was preexisting. However, the claimant prevailed at administrative hearings and on judicial review. Fees for the claimant's attorney were deducted from the claimant's recovery. The claimant later filed a breach of contract action seeking to recover the administrative attorney's fees. The carrier's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction was granted, and this appeal followed. In affirming, the appellate court determined that the claimant had to exhaust his administrative remedies. The claim for attorney's fees, whether grounded in contract or tort, was based on the carrier's dispute of the claimant's entitlement to benefits. That was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Texas Worker's Compensation Commission. Moreover, both 28 Tex. Admin. Code § 152.3(d), (e) and Tex. Lab. Code Ann. § 408.221 governed the award and payment of attorney's fees during the administrative phase of a workers' compensation proceeding.

Although ROCIP's have been held to apply vertically, horizontally, and diagonally to all contractors, subcontractors, or sub-contractors enrolled in a ROCIP, there are no authorities that hold that a ROCIP applies to shield employers from the negligent acts of co-employees not participating in a ROCIP.

Claimants maintain their request and respectfully request the Tribunal to order the production of the responsive documents. The requested document is relevant and material As Claimants explained above, the requested document represents a request based on which the Serbian Republic Geodetic Authority prepared a “ NOTICE ” submitted as Serbia’s exhibit R -043. Serbia relies on this document to argue that Obnova’s buildings at Dunavska 17 -19 were allegedly “ built before Obnova was established in December 1948. ”22 Based on this assertion, Serbia argues that there is no evidence that Obnova acquired these buildings.23 Serbia, therefore, uses Exhibit R-043 as an important part of its defense. However, as explained above, this exhibit was compiled by Serbia’s own authorities (the Serbian Republic Geodetic Authority) for the sol e purpose of this arbitration and based on Serbia’s own request. Needless to say, the scope of Serbia’s request necessarily predetermines the scope of the response, on which Serbia now relies in this arbitration. The requested document will show whether exhibit R-043 was compiled in an objective manner and thus represents reliable evidence. As a result, the requested document is directly relevant and material to assess the veracity of Serbia’s claim that Obnova did not build the buildings at Dunavska 17 -19 and does not have any rights to these buildings. For the avoidance of doubt, Serbia’s argument that if “ Claimants consider that the information contained in the exhibit R-043 [sic] may be inaccurate or incomplete, they could have sought additional information they consider relevant from the Cadastre ” is not serious. Enough to say, Claimants requested production of certain documents necessary to assess completeness and accuracy of exhibit R-043 in some of their other requests ( e.g. Requests Nos. 6-7 and 9-12). However, Serbia objects to production of any such documents as well.
