Opinion

Affirmed and Memorandum Majority and Concurring Opinions filed March 9, 2023.

In The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-21-00537-CV

ILIA FARD, Appellant V.

ZEINAB HAJIZADEH, Appellee

On Appeal from the 312th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2019-85225

MEMORANDUM CONCURRING OPINION While I concur in this court’s judgment and otherwise join the majority opinion, Husband did not timely preserve a complaint for appellate review regarding the trial court’s granting of his counsel’s amended unopposed motion to withdraw because Husband signed the motion, indicating that he “agreed and approved.” See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1(a) (preservation of appellate complaints). While Husband’s motion for new trial contains seven pages discussing his

counsel’s withdrawal, Husband does not argue that his signature on the amended unopposed motion to withdraw was not consensual. Accordingly, he waived that issue.
