KEANNA MCGUIRE, APPELLANT

V.

HARDIN ENDEAVORS LLC, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3 Lubbock County, Texas Trial Court No. CC-2025-CV-0431, Honorable Benjamin A. Webb, Presiding

November 18, 2025 MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before QUINN, C.J., and PARKER and YARBROUGH, JJ.

Appellant, Keanna McGuire, proceeding pro se, appeals a take-nothing judgment

in favor of Appellee, Hardin Endeavors LLC, on her claim for damages related to the

purchase of a used car. She maintains the trial court erred by excluding her evidence at

trial which rendered the judgment unsupported by factually sufficient evidence.1 Hardin

1 McGuire’s corrected brief contained no citations to legal authority, despite receiving a letter from

the Clerk of this Court warning her of the deficiency in her brief and providing an opportunity to submit a compliant brief. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(i). Pro se litigants, like licensed attorneys, must comply with the rules Endeavors did not favor this Court with a brief. Upon a review of the record, we do not

find McGuire offered or attempted to offer any evidence at any point during the trial to

support her claim. By contrast, Justin Thomas, Hardin Endeavors LLC’s representative,

offered contract documents into evidence showing McGuire purchased the used car “AS

IS – NO DEALER WARRANTY” and “AS IS – SOLD WITHOUT WARRANTY.” The trial

court admitted them into evidence, and they support the judgment.

Specifically addressing McGuire’s contention that the trial court erred by excluding

her evidence, the trial court did not have the opportunity to exclude any evidence when it

was never offered in the first place. TEX. R. EVID. 103(a); TEX. R. APP. P. 33.1(a). Put

simply, the trial court did not exclude what was never tendered. We therefore overrule

the issue.

CONCLUSION

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Alex Yarbrough Justice

of procedure. Li v. Pemberton Park Cmty. Ass’n, 631 S.W.3d 701, 705–06 (Tex. 2021). Although we address the merits of her argument, she has arguably waived her complaints by failing to cite any legal authority. 2
