LEGAL STANDARD
Time for Filing Notice of Appeal: “An appeal is perfected when a written notice is filed
with the trial clerk.”1 In a civil case, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of the date
the judgment is signed by the trial court.2 If, however, a motion for new trial, or motion to modify
the judgment is filed, a notice of appeal must be filed “within 90 days after the judgment is signed
. . .”3 The appellate court may extend the time to file a notice of appeal by 15 days, if, within the
15 day deadline, the party seeking to perfect an appeal (i) files the notice of appeal in the trial
court, and (ii) files a motion for extension of time in the appellate court.4 The maximum amount
of time for filing the notice of appeal is 105 days –the initial 90 day period, plus the 15 day grace
period. If the 15-day grace period passes without the filing of a notice of appeal, “a party can no
longer invoke the appellate court’s jurisdiction.”5
Damages for Frivolous Appeal: Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 45 authorizes this
Court to award a prevailing party “just damages” upon a determination that an “appeal is
frivolous.”6 Bad faith is not a prerequisite to an award of damages under Rule 45.7 An appeal is
frivolous when there is no reasonable basis to believe the judgment could be reversed.8

Petitioner’s Appeal is Frivolous
The trial court signed the final summary judgment from which this appeal is taken on

February 20, 2015.9 On March 3, 2015, Appellants filed a motion entitled “Plaintiff’s Motion for
Rehearing on Defendant’s Motions for Summary Judgment.”10 Assuming without conceding that
the Motion for Rehearing extended the trial court’s plenary power under Texas Rule of Civil
Procedure 329b(g), and the deadline to file a notice of appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 26.1(a)(2), the extended deadline for Appellants to file a notice of appeal was May 21,
2015 –90 days from the date of the trial court judgment. Appellants filed no notice of appeal on
or before May 21, 2015.
By operation of Rule 26.3, Appellants could have requested an additional 15 days to file a
notice of appeal. The extended 15-day deadline for Appellants to file a notice of appeal would
have expired on June 5, 2015. The Appellants did not file a notice of appeal, or a request to extend
the time to file a notice of appeal on or before June 5, 2015. In fact, Appellants filed no notice of
appeal until June 25, 2015 –20 days after expiration of the extended 15 day deadline. Because the
“fifteen-day extension period for filing of a notice of appeal has passed without filing a notice of
appeal, [Appellants] can no longer invoke [this Court]’s jurisdiction.”11 Appellants cannot invoke
this court’s jurisdiction, a fortiori, there is no reasonable basis to believe that this Court could
reverse the trial court’s judgment.
On July 9, 2015, Appellee notified Appellants that no timely notice of appeal was filed,
and that prosecution of this appeal would be frivolous and subject Appellants to liability for
Appellee’s fees and costs associated with securing dismissal of the appeal.12 Appellants did not

Appellee just damages jointly and severally from Appellants’ and their counsel.13
Since the filing of Appellants’ notice of appeal, Appellee incurred attorney’s fees and costs
of $1,122.00.14 Appellee should be awarded just damages from Appellants resulting from the
filing of this frivolous appeal.

Re: Cause No. 2012-30947; Bradford, et al, vs. Palletized Trucking, Inc. and Saia, Inc.; In the 113th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.
Dear Mr. Howard and Mr. Jefferson:
The purpose of this letter is to afford Plaintiffs with an opportunity to dismiss the presently pending appeal, and avoid sanctions for the filing of a frivolous appeal. The notice of appeal was not filed timely, and, as a result, the court of appeals lacks jurisdiction to reverse the trial court’s order or hear Plaintiffs’ appeal.
As a result of the motion for rehearing, the deadline for Plaintiffs’ notice of appeal was extended to “90 days after the judgment is signed . . .”1 which would be May 21, 2015. The rules also provide a 15 day extension allowing a total of 105 days from the date of the summary judgment to file a notice of appeal.2 The notice of appeal was due on June 5, 2015, however, Plaintiffs’ notice of appeal was not filed until June 25, 2015 –20 days after expiration of the deadline. Once 105-days have passed after the judgment “without filing a notice of appeal, a party can no longer invoke the appellate court's jurisdiction.”3
Under Texas law an appeal is frivolous when there is no reasonable basis to believe the judgment could be reversed.4 Because of the untimely filed notice of appeal, Plaintiffs cannot invoke the appellee court’s jurisdiction, and there is no plausible grounds for reversal of the

judgment. Accordingly, continued prosecution of the appeal is frivolous, and Palletized will seek dismissal of the appeal and sanctions under Rules of Appellate Procedure unless Plaintiffs voluntarily dismiss the appeal by July 17, 2015. If the appeal is not dismissed by this date Palletized will seek recovery of all fees and costs associated with responding to the frivolous appeal from Plaintiffs.
I urge you to give your immediate attention to this matter and to immediately dismiss the frivolous appeal to avoid the imposition of sanctions and an award of damages against the Plaintiffs.
Sincerely,
Philip C. Reeves THE FUENTES FIRM, P.C.

ATTORNEY FEE DECLARATION OF PHILIP C. REEVES
On this day personally appeared Philip C. Reeves, declares the following to be true and
correct:
“My name is Philip C. Reeves. I reside in Harris County, Texas, and practice law in this
county and State. I have practiced law since November 2008, and I am currently an active member of
the Bar (Texas Bar No. 24065959). My address is 5507 Louetta Road, Suite A, Spring, Texas
77379. I am over twenty-one years old, of sound mind, and otherwise competent to swear out this
affidavit. My practice includes commercial litigation and I have handled numerous commercial cases.
I am in all respects experienced and qualified to render an opinion on the reasonableness and necessity
of attorney’s fees incurred and/or to be incurred in this commercial litigation matter.”
“Palletized Trucking, Inc, (“Palletized”) Appellee in this case, retained The Fuentes Firm, P.C.
to represent it in the above styled cause. After a review of the business records and file of this firm,
including the acts and documentation that I personally was involved with or prepared, I can testify as
to the work done in this cause. The facts I recite in this affidavit as one of Palletized’s attorneys are
true and correct. Work done in this case by myself or other lawyers in this firm after the time the trial

court entered judgment, and occasioned by the filing of a frivolous appeal after the expiration of all
appellate deadlines includes communication with Appellant’s counsel regarding the untimely notice of
appeal, and frivolous nature of any appeal premised on the untimely notice filed by appellants,
communication with client regarding effect of untimely filed notice of appeal and remedy for frivolous
appeal, consideration of all post-judgment deadlines and effect of Plaintiffs’ Motion to Reconsider
Summary Judgment on all post judgment deadlines, drafting the motion to dismiss frivolous appeal,
and declaration in support of the motion; and other necessary work.”
“The attorney fees attached hereto were reasonable and necessary for representation of
Palletized Trucking in the present suit.”
“The fees were reasonable and necessary considering (1) the time and labor required, the
novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill required to perform the legal service
properly; (2) the likelihood that the acceptance of this particular employment will preclude other
employment; (3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services; (4) the amount
involved and the results obtained; and (5) the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyers
performing the services.”
“I am familiar with the usual and customary legal fees reasonably charged by lawyers in the
Harris County, Texas with similar experience and training, for necessary legal services in a case such
as this one. The level of skill and legal work needed to resolve the conflicts that arose in this matter is
likewise familiar to me. My familiarity extends to knowing reasonable hourly rates customarily
charged by civil litigators who perform the same or similar necessary services as those rendered by
myself and other legal professionals representing Palletized Trucking, Inc. in this matter.
