STATEMENT OF THE CASE

This is an appeal by Pletze Brown, Jr. (“Appellant”) from a final summary judgment (CR 128) entered by the County Court at Law Number Two in Dallas County, Texas, granting CitiMortgage, Inc. ("Appellee") immediate possession of property located at 2412 Poinciana Lane, Dallas, Texas 75212 (the "Property"). CitiMortgage purchased the Property at a foreclosure sale on October 6, 2009.

Brown appeals the Judgment awarding CitiMortgage possession of the property (Appendix Ex. A) on the grounds that, the underlying foreclosure sale was invalid and that CitiMortgage did not bring its forcible detainer action within the applicable statute of limitation.

CitiMortgage filed a Forcible Entry and Detainer action on August 22, 2014 (CR 6-24). On September 5, 2014, the Justice Court, Precinct 5-2, Dallas County Texas entered judgment for CitiMortgage (CR 28). On September 8, 2014, Brown filed an appeal bond to appeal the judgment in favor of CitiMortgage. (CR 29).

On appeal in the County Court at Law No. 2, Dallas County, Texas, CitiMortgage filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on October 9, 2014 (CR49-108). The court set motion to be heard by submission for November 17, 2014 (CR 109). Brown filed a Response to Summary Judgment on November 10, 2014 (CR 114 – 127). The court granted CitiMortgage’s Motion for Summary Judgment on November 18, 2014 (CR-128).

ISSUES PRESENTED

I. Did the Trial Court appropriately enter judgment for Appellee on its forcible detainer suit based upon the documents admitted into evidence establishing Appellee’s superior right to immediate possession of the Property, such evidence being: (a) a deed of trust with tenancy at sufferance clause, (b) a substitute trustee’s deed, and (c) a notice to vacate?

II. Did Appellant’s Challenge to the Validity of the Foreclosure Sale of the Property Deny the Trial Court Jurisdiction to Proceed with the Forcible Detainer Action When the Deed of Trust Created a Tenancy at Sufferance Post-Foreclosure?

III. As Appellee Filed its Forcible Detainer Action a Month After Sending Notice to Vacate to Appellant, Did Appellee File Suit within the Applicable Limitation Period Provided by Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.003?

STATEMENT OF FACTS

Brown executed a Deed of Trust 1 dated October 16, 2002 (CR 57-82) (Appendix Ex. B) securing his loan of $143,313.00 from KB Home Mortgage Company with property commonly known as 2412 Poinciana Lane, Dallas, Texas 75212 (“the Property”). The Property was foreclosed after Brown failed to pay his residential mortgage; Appellee purchased the Property at a foreclosure sale on October 6, 2009. (CR 83). Brown filed a district court lawsuit challenging the foreclosure of the Property and judgment was rendered against Brown in that lawsuit on November 10, 2011 See Pletze Brown & Jesse Brown v. CitiMortgage, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:11-cv-01102-K, In the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, affirmed on appeal by Brown v. CitiMortgage, Inc., et al.; 472 Fed. Appx. 302 (5th Cir. 2012) .

After resolution of the district court lawsuit (which took considerable time) CitiMortgage served Brown with a Notice to Vacate via certified mail. (CR 91– 98) (Appendix Ex. D). The Notice to Vacate advised Brown that if he did not vacate the premises CitiMortgage would be filing a forcible detainer suit. Brown

1 Appellant became a tenant at sufferance after foreclosure pursuant to Section 22 (“Acceleration; Remedies”) of the aforementioned Deed of Trust which reads:

If the Property is sold pursuant to this paragraph 22, Borrower or any person holding possession of the Property through Borrower shall immediately surrender possession of the Property to the purchaser at that sale. If possession is not surrendered, Borrower or such person shall be a tenant at sufferance and may be removed by writ of possession or other court proceeding. (Appendix Ex. B, at Section 22) (emphasis added).

failed to vacate the Property and CitiMortgage filed a Petition for Forcible Detainer in the Justice of the Peace Court, Precinct No. 5, Position No. 2, Dallas County, Texas on August 22, 2014, seeking possession and costs of suit. (CR 6 -24). On September 5, 2014, the Justice Court held a bench trial and entered Judgment granting possession of the premises to CitiMortgage (CR 28).

Brown appealed to the County Court at Law Number Two in Dallas County, Texas. CitiMortgage moved for summary judgment based upon the summary judgment evidence of the Deed of Trust creating a tenancy at sufferance post foreclosure, the Substitute Trustee’s Deed, and the Notices to Vacate sent to Brown. Brown filed a summary judgment response asserting that he believed the underlying foreclosure sale was defective. The Trial Court granted summary judgment in favor of CitiMortgage, on November 18, 2014. (CR 128) It is from this judgment that Brown now appeals.

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

Evidence Supports Judgment in Favor of Appellee. The Trial Court’s judgment in favor of Appellee is supported by sufficient evidence showing Appellee’s superior right to immediate possession of the Property. Appellee introduced documentary evidence showing that: (1) it had purchased the Property at a foreclosure sale, (2) that the Deed of Trust to the Property made Appellant a tenant at sufferance after the foreclosure, (3) that Appellee demanded that *5 Appellant vacate, and (4) that Appellant refused to do so. Appellant produced no evidence that would suggest that the Trial Court’s decision is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence as to be clearly wrong and manifestly unjust.

Jurisdiction of the Justice Court Over a Forcible Detainer. Pro se Appellant’s brief is somewhat unclear and confuses various legal concepts involving foreclosure with those involving the process of eviction. Appellant confuses “seeking possession of property” with that of “foreclosing on the property”. Appellant asserts that the Trial Court lacked jurisdiction over the forcible detainer action because of supposed problems with acceleration of Appellant’s mortgage obligation pre-foreclosure. However, it is well settled that a forcible detainer action is cumulative, not exclusive, of other remedies that a party may have. Even when a lawsuit is pending in a district court challenging the validity of a foreclosure sale, a county court has jurisdiction to determine the issue of possession to the property between the parties during the pendency of the district court lawsuit where the deed of trust creates a tenancy at sufferance relationship.

Statute of Limitations on a Forcible Detainer Action is Two Years. Appellant argues that CitiMortgage’s limitation period within which it had to commence its forcible detainer action is calculated from the date that Appellant’s mortgage was accelerated in 2009. Appellant is incorrect. An action for forcible *6 detainer has a two-year limitations period. A cause of action for forcible detainer accrues only after lawful demand to vacate has been properly sent to a party such as Appellant.

ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

I. Standard of Review

With respect to Appellant’s assertion that the Trial Court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the forcible detainer action, the Court reviews such questions of law under the “de novo” standard of review. See Aguero v. Ramirez, 70 S.W.3d 372, 373 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2002, pet.denied); Mayhew v. Town of Sunnyvale, 964 S.W.2d 922, 928 (Tex. 1998)(subject-matter jurisdiction).

With respect to Appellant’s objection to the summary judgment evidence, the Court reviews a trial court’s evidentiary decisions under an abuse of discretion standard. Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. v. Malone, 972 S.W.2d 35, 43, (Tex. 1998).

II. Nature of a Forcible Detainer Action

The forcible detainer action was created to provide a speedy, simple and inexpensive means for resolving the question of the right to immediate possession of real property without resorting to an action upon the title. Scott v. Hewitt, S.W.2d 816, 818-19 (Tex. 1936); Rice v. Pinney, 5l S.W.3d 705, 708 (Tex. App.— Dallas 2001, no pet.).

Thus, “the sole issue in a forcible detainer action is who has the right to immediate possession of the premises.” Rice, 51 S.W.2d at 708; see also Fandy v. Lee, 880 S.W.2d 164, 168 (Tex. App.–El Paso 1994, no writ); Black v. Washington Mut. Bank, 318 S.W.3d 414 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 2010, pet. dism’d w.o.j.). No other issues, controversies or rights of the parties related to the property, including title, can be adjudicated in such a suit. Hong Kong Dev., Inc. v. Nguyen, 229 S.W.3d 415, 434 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no pet.). In simpler terms, a forcible detainer suit asks one simple and specific question: “who has right to possess the property now?” Black, 318 S.W.3d at 417.

A justice court and, on trial de novo, a county court have been given exclusive jurisdiction to decide the merits of a forcible detainer action.2 Tex. Prop. Code §24.004; Home Sav. Ass’n. v. Ramirez, 600 S.W.2d 911 (Tex. Civ. App. – Corpus Christi, 1980); Rice v. Pinney, 51 S.W.3d 705 (Tex. Civ. App. – Dallas,

2 The elements of a forcible detainer action are spelled out by statute. Specifically,

(a) A person who refuses to surrender possession of real property on demand commits a forcible detainer if the person:

(1) is a tenant or a subtenant willfully and without force holding over after the termination of the tenant’s right of possession;

(2) is a tenant of a person who acquired possession by forcible entry.

(b) The demand for possession must be made in writing by a person entitled to possession of the property and must comply with the requirements for notice to vacate under Section 24.005. TEX. PROP. CODE § 24.002

2001). The aforementioned jurisdiction cannot be infringed as long as the court merely determines possession. See, Ramirez at 913.

III. ISSUE NO. 1 THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE TRIAL COURT’S DETERMINATION THAT APPELLEE HAD A SUPERIOR RIGHT TO IMMEDIATE POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY.

Exactly as is the circumstance herein, “Forcible detainer occurs when a person, who is a tenant at sufferance, refuses to surrender possession of real property after his right to possession has ceased.” Tex. Prop. Code §24.002(a)(2); Aspenwood Apartment Corp. v. Coinmach, Inc., 349 S.W.3d 621, 632 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2011, pet. denied). To prevail in its forcible detainer action, Appellee was not required to prove title at trial, but was only required to show sufficient evidence of ownership to demonstrate a superior right to immediate possession. Rice at 709.

The Dallas Court of Appeals, in Hornsby v. Secretary of Veterans Affairs3 succinctly set out what is required of a litigant to meet its burden of proof in a forcible detainer action. 2012 WL 3525420 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2012, no pet.) (mem. op.). In Hornsby, the Court set out that, “To prevail on its claim [movant] was required to present more than a scintilla of evidence showing it had a right to possession of the property, [non-movant’s] right of possession had ended, and

3 2012 WL 3525420 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2012, no pet.) (mem. op.)

[non-movant] refused to vacate.” Id. at *5. The Court provided that a movant can meet its burden of proof by introducing the very same class of documents that were used to establish Appellee’s claim herein. The documents sufficient to establish the elements of a cause of action for forcible detainer are: (1) a deed of trust that establishes a tenancy at sufferance relationship post-foreclosure (CR 57-82) (Appendix Ex. “B”), (2) a substitute trustee’s deed (CR 83) (Appendix Ex. “C”), and (3) notices to vacate sent to the tenant at sufferance (CR 92-97) (Appendix Ex. “D”). See Hornsby at *5; Clarkson v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., 331 S.W.3d 837, 840 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2011, no pet); Shutter v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 318 S.W.3d 467, 471 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2010, pet. dism’d w.o.j).

The appellate record in this case squarely reflects that Appellee met its burden of proof in establishing its right to immediate possession of the Property in this forcible detainer action.

Appellant failed to introduce any evidence of a superior right to possession of the Property, and the Trial Court did not err in finding that the Deed of Trust (with tenancy at sufferance clause), Substitute Trustee’s Deed, and written notices to vacate sufficiently established Appellee’s superior right to possession of the Property. See Mitchell v. Citifinancial Mortg. Co., 192 S.W.3d 882, 883 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2006, no pet.); Powelson v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 125 S.W.3d 810, 812 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2004, no pet.); Rodriguez v. Citimortgage, 2011 WL *10 182122 (Tex. App.—Austin 2011, no pet.) (mem. op.) (holding substitute trustee’s deed, deed of trust and notices to vacate sufficient evidence to establish superior right of possession post-foreclosure) (mem. op.); Jaimes v. Federal Nat. Mortg. Ass’n, 2013 WL 7809751 (Tex. App.-Austin 2013, no pet.) (mem. op.); Bierwirth v. Fed. Nat. Mortg. Ass’n., 2014 WL 902541 (Tex. App.–Austin 2014, no pet.) (mem. op.). For these reasons, the Trial Court’s judgment awarding possession of the Property to Appellee should be affirmed.

IV. ISSUE NO. 2 DID APPELLANT’S CHALLENGE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE FORECLOSURE SALE OF THE PROPERTY DENY THE TRIAL COURT JURISDICTION TO PROCEED WITH THE FORCIBLE DETAINER ACTION WHEN THE DEED AT TRUST CREATED A TENANCY AT SUFFERANCE POST- FORECLOSURE

Appellant asserts that an “acceleration defect” impacting the underlying foreclosure sale raised an issue with title to the Property sufficient to rob the Trial Court of jurisdiction over the forcible detainer action. See Appellant’s Brief, at 2. Specifically, Appellant asserts that since CitiMortgage accelerated the underlying mortgage note in 2009, that CitiMortgage is prohibited from attempting to take possession of the Property in 2014 by way of the forcible detainer action. As Appellant has challenged the subject matter jurisdiction of the Trial Court CitiMortgage appreciates Appellant’s argument to be that the Trial Court was *11 precluded from determining the issue of possession without first determining the issue of title.

Less than one month ago the Dallas Court of Appeals Court issued a memorandum opinion in Singha v. Federal National Mortgage Association; Case No. 05-13-01518-CV, that literally could be cut and pasted into this case. In Singha, the appellant argued that because the lender breached the deed of trust the foreclosure sale was invalid. As such, the “case involves a question of title, the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to enter a judgment.” Singha at 5. The appellant therein went on to assert, “that the issues of title to the property and possession of the property are so inseparable that it is unreasonable to determine possession without first determining who holds its title.” Id.

The Singha court set out very clearly that,

A justice court or county court of law is not deprived of jurisdiction in a forcible detainer lawsuit merely because of the existence of a title dispute. Id. at 712. In fact, in most cases the right to immediate possession can be determined separately from the right to title. Id. at 710 (legislature contemplated concurrent actions in the district and justice courts to resolve issue of title and immediate possession in cases challenging the validity of a trustee deed)4. The trial court is

4 A forcible detainer action is not exclusive, but cumulative, of any other remedy that a party may have in the courts of this state, and the displaced party is entitled to bring a separate suit in the district court to determine the question of title. Rice v. Pinney, 5l S.W.3d 705, 708 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2001, no pet.); Home Sav. Ass’n v. Ramirez, 600 S.W.2d 911, 913 (Tex. Civ. App.–Corpus Christi 1980, writ ref’d n.r.e); Martinez v. Beasley, 572 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tex. Civ. App.–Corpus Christi 1979, no writ). The Texas Legislature purposely established a system for parallel, concurrent actions in the district and justice courts to resolve issues of title and immediate possession, respectively. Scott v. Hewitt, S.W.2d 816, 818-19 (Tex. 1936); Rice, 51 S.W.2d at 708. Thus, forcible detainer actions in justice court may be brought and prosecuted

only deprived of jurisdiction if the determination of the right to immediate possession necessarily requires the resolution of a title dispute. Id. at 712; Schlichting v. Lehman Bros. Bank FSB, 346 S.W.3d 196, 199 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2011, no pet.).

Singha at 5-6. The Court went on to articulate that the foreclosure of property pursuant to the deed of trust created a landlord and tenant-at-sufferance relationship between the parties and it was not necessary for the trial court to resolve the title dispute in order to determine the right of immediate possession. Id.; relying on Rice v. Pinney, 51 S.W.3d 705 (Tex. App. – Dallas 2001, no pet.).

The Dallas Court of Appeals’ reasoning in Singha is in line with numerous other Texas appellate courts, which have held that an appellant is barred from attacking a foreclosure sale purchaser’s title within a forcible detainer action. See e.g., Shutter v. Wells Fargo Bank, 318 S.W.3d 467, 470 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2010, pet. dism'd w.o.j.) (validity of foreclosure and sale cannot be challenged in forcible detainer proceeding); Williams v. Bank of New York Mellon, 315 S.W.3d 925, 926– 27 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2010, no pet.) (same); Rodriguez v. Citimortgage, 2011 WL 182122, *3 (Tex. App.—Austin 2011, no pet.) (memo. op.) (same); Fleming v. Fannie Mae, 2010 WL 4812983, *5 (Tex. App.—Waco 2010, no pet. h.) (mem. op.) (same); Middleton v. Crestar Mortgage Corp., 2000 WL 298694, *4 (Tex.

concurrently with suits to try title in district court. Rice, 51 S.W.2d at 708; Haith v. Drake, 596 S.W.2d 194, 196 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 1980, writ ref’d n.r.e.); Hartzog v. Seeger Coal Co., 163 S.W. 1055, 160 (Tex. Civ. App.–Dallas 1914, no writ); Rodriguez v. Citimortgage, 2011 WL 182122 (Tex. App.—Austin 2011, no pet.)(mem. op.).

App.—Austin 2000, no pet.) (mem. op.) (same).

The Singha court echo’s the San Antonio Court of Appeals (in Dormandy v.

Dinero Land & Cattle Co.5) and the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals (in Yarto v.

Gilliland6) in providing that where a deed of trust creates a tenancy at sufferance

relationship post-foreclosure, that relationship alone provides a basis for

determining possession without addressing the issue of title.

Even if Appellant’s “title dispute” were examined on its merits, Apellant’s

legal argument is patently ineffective to establish his basis for title ownership in

the Property.7 Acceleration of the debt (as stated by Appellant within his brief) was

5 The San Antonio Court of Appeals in Dormady v. Dinero Land & Cattle Co. stated,

That is not the situation in this case where a landlord-tenant relationship is established in the original deed of trust. The landlord-tenant relationship provides a basis for determining the right to immediate possession without resolving the ultimate issue of title to the property. In short Dormady has the right to sue in district court to determine if the trustee’s deed should be cancelled…independent of the trial court’s determination in the forcible detainer action that [purchaser at foreclosure sale] is entitled to immediate possession. Dormady v. Dinero Land & Cattle Co. held, “ L.C., 61 S.W.3d 555 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2001, pet. dism’d). 6 In Yarto v. Gilliland, the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals provided,

In most situations, the parties in a forcible detainer suit are in a landlord-tenant relationship. One indication that a justice court, and county court on appeal, is called on to adjudicate title to real estate in a forcible detainer case – and, thus exceed its jurisdiction, is when a landlord-tenant relationship is lacking. Yarto v. Gilliland, 287 S.W.3d 83, 89 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2009, no pet.). 7 An asserted basis for title ownership that is patently ineffective under the law does not raise the type of “title dispute” that would call the county court’s jurisdiction into question in a forcible detainer action. See generally, Yarto v. Gilliland, 287 S.W.3d 83, 93 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2009, no pet.).

on August 28, 2009. See, Appellant’s Brief at 2. Under Texas law, a sale of real property under a power of sale in a mortgage or deed of trust that creates a real-property lien must be made not later than four years after the day the cause of action accrues. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.035(b); McLemore v. Pacific Southwest Bank, 872 S.W.2d 286, 292 (Tex.App.—Texarkana 1994, writ dism'd by agr.). When this four-year period expires, the real-property lien and the power of sale to enforce the lien become void. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.035(d). Per Appellant’s brief the debt herein was accelerated on August 28, 2009 and foreclosure sale conducted October 6, 2009, clearly inside the four-year statute of limitations. See, Appellant’s Brief at 8.

At the end of the analysis, Appellant failed to produce any specific evidence of a valid title dispute that would have deprived the Trial Court of jurisdiction. The foreclosure sale occurred within four years of the mortgagee accelerating the debt and Appellant has stated no other challenge to the foreclosure sale within his briefing. There simply is no evidence that title and possession are so intertwined as to deprive the Trial Court of jurisdiction because a landlord-tenant at sufferance relationship exists between Appellant and Appellee that provides a basis for determining possession without addressing the issue of title.

V. ISSUE NO. 3 AS APPELLEE FILED ITS FORCIBLE DETAINER ACTION A MONTH AFTER SENDING NOTICE TO VACATE TO APPELLANT, DID APPELLEE FILE SUIT WITHIN THE APPLICABLE LIMITATION PERIOD PROVIDED BY TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 16.003?

Appellant asserts that CitiMortgage is barred by limitations from bringing this forcible detainer action. In reaching his flawed conclusion, Appellant cites the date his underlying mortgage note was accelerated, and he combines that date with the statute of limitation within Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.035 which addresses that, “A person must bring suit for … the foreclosure of a real property lien not later than four years after the day the cause of action accrues.” Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.035(a) (emp. added). Based upon the facts as presented by Appellant, the mortagee did in fact foreclose within four years of acceleration of the debt. (acceleration on August 28, 2009 and the foreclosure completed months later in October, 2009).

What Appellant fails to recognize is that a suit for forcible detainer is a different action than one seeking foreclosure. Simply because CitiMortgage purchased the Property at foreclosure sale in 2009 does not in any way prohibit CitiMortgage from waiting to send a lawful demand to vacate (in this case until after a district court lawsuit challenging the foreclosure sale was resolved).

A forcible detainer action is a statutory creature and a cause of action for forcible detainer accrues after lawful demand to vacate is sent to a tenant. The statute of limitations on an action for forcible detainer is two years. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.003(a). For a suit to be timely filed, it must be brought within two years from the date on which the cause of action accrues. Id.

The Texas Property Code §24.002 provides that a forcible detainer is committed when a person refuses to surrender possession of real property on demand and each refusal to surrender possession of real property on written demand for possession constitutes a new forcible detainer. Masaad v. Wells Fargo, N.A.; 2015WL410514 (Tex. App. – Austin 2015); also See Federal Home Loan Mortg. Corp. v. Pham, No. 14–13–00109–CV, 2014 WL 5034638, at *5 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Oct. 9, 2014, no pet.) (new and independent cause of action for forcible detainer arises each time person refuses to surrender real property after person entitled to possession delivers proper written notice to vacate); Puentes v. Fannie Mae, 350 S.W.3d 732, 739 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2011, pet. dism'd) (subsequent forcible-detainer action constitutes new and independent action to determine which party had superior right of immediate possession at time suit was filed).

In the present matter, the cause of action accrued at the time in which Appellant refused to vacate the property after lawful demand to vacate on October *17 21, 2013 and the forcible detainer action was timely filed on September 11, 2014. (CR 8-34).

CONCLUSION

For these reasons, Appellee, CitiMortgage Inc., respectfully requests that this Honorable Court affirm the judgment of the Trial Court. Appellee also requests any other relief to which it may be entitled.
