SUPPLEMENT TO LETTER CLARIFYING NUMBER OF DEFENDANTS

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellant files this supplement to his October 17, 2025 Letter to the Court described as “Letter re wrong number of Defendants in Court Order” to provide concise clarification regarding the actual structure of the parties named in this matter.

The Court’s October 16 Order referenced “approximately forty-two defendants.” That figure is not accurate when considered in legal context. Each set of individuals was named in official capacity only and represents a single governmental or corporate entity. When grouped by entity, there are eighteen (18) distinct defendant entities or real parties in interest, summarized below:

1. State of Texas – Ken Paxton (Attorney General); Jane Nelson (Secretary of State) – Official capacities for ignoring election fraud and suppressing FOIA requests re: Election Investigation. Also re Jail conditions and ending statewide Courts of No Record that lack due process and transparency.

2. Travis County – Commissioners Travillion, Howard, Shea, Gómez, and Judge Brown; Sheriff Sally Hernandez; County Attorney Dyana Mercado; right of first refusal for city to purchase Clayton Vocational Institute (county-owned historic property).

Also for ignoring Election Coercion issues; ignoring “Public Health and Safety” bogus claims used to breach contract with

Austin Bocce League; ignoring Cemetery Desecration and Police Misconduct.

3. CapMetro – Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority – quasi-governmental transit authority under Travis County oversight. Deceptive trade practice during approval process by not disclosing they would be charging for but not running on weekends. Commissioner Travillion is Chairman of the Board.

4. City of Manor – Mayor Harvey; six Council Members; City Manager Leslie Moore; City Secretary Lluvia Almaraz; Public Works Director; former Heritage & Tourism Manager; Police Chief Phipps, officers and two former officers. Election Coercion and numerous claims of police misconduct and coverups, civil rights violations, historic destruction of landmarks, allowing parkland thefts of land and money; plus retaliation and false imprisonment. City has been operating without a legal Council quorum since November election fraud.

5. Freese & Nichols, Inc. – Authors of the faulty Comprehensive Plan used to destroy historic Manor, and for never holding the town hall meetings or finishing the project they were paid for.

6. Legacy Performance Capital LLC – Developer of townhomes on historic 1906 Martin McVey Cemetery site including misuse of city funds to clear land and desecrating said cemetery.

7. Las Entradas Development LLC – Developer of the 1840's James B Manor Homestead tract linked to the Col. Eppright estate, and need to protect remaining fragile shacks.

8. Manor MF LLC – Developer of apartments on the James B. Manor Homestead tract purchased from Las Entradas. Plaintiff sought emergency injunctive relief to protect the historic site, but Judge Soifer prevented the filing or consideration of Plaintiff’s ex parte application for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), allowing demolition and site work to proceed despite pending preservation concerns.

9. Maqil Inc. – Seeking zoning changes for Manor Grocery site inconsistent with historic Main Street; alleged false PO Box and misrepresentation on zoning filings.

10. Manor ISD – Owner of historic school property (former Parson’s School for Girls / Masonic Lodge #222) that is currently an abandoned school. Right of first refusal sought.

11. Buildblock.io – Developer of overpowering live-work-play apartments/offices inconsistent within the Historic District.

12. Carlos Moyeda – Demolition of historic mansion at 104 E. Townes Street; and future building approvals/restrictions.

13. 13100 FM 973 Manor Crossing shopping center for Chapter 380 violations – Includes (a) HEB – Plaza obligation; (b) Park at Manor Crossing Apartments – parkland fee violations; (c) Manor Retail GP – sales tax and public space obligations.

14. Meritage Homes of Texas LLC – ShadowGlen development; unpaid parkland fees, parkland dedication and trail installs.

15. Manor Commons LLC – Retail mixed-use project over ten acres with unfulfilled plaza requirement.

16. Dalfen Industrial / DG Manor Downs LP – Industrial park replacing historic Manor Downs racetrack, destroying heritage trees, environmental issues, traffic mitigations and needless 380 grants claimed as “incentives” worth millions of dollars.

17. Texas A&M Foundation – Initially a record custodian; treated as Defendant pending full compliance with Public Information Act requests regarding Homestead and Eppright tracts.

18. Travis Central Appraisal District (TCAD) – Non-party resource for property records and agricultural-use exemptions.

Appellant further clarifies that certain non-defendant parties appear in the record for context and standing purposes.

• Bobby Reese, submitted to be a candidate for Manor City Council but was unlawfully prevented from appearing on the ballot—an event central to Appellant’s Election Contest and claims of election coercion, voter disenfranchisement, and ultra vires conduct by state and municipal officials.

• Austin Bocce League, a nonprofit organization operated by Appellant, appears as a contractual and equitable claimant in relation to the City of Manor’s breach of its Licensing Agreement, implied park-improvement commitments and failure to provide designated public recreation space. These parties are included for factual context and standing, but they are not defendants in the underlying cause. Their interests illustrate the public-trust and contractual dimensions of this litigation.

Appellant respectfully submits that, although more than forty individual names appear throughout the pleadings, these individuals operate within the eighteen (18) discrete entities identified above. Each entity functions as the real party in interest for service, liability, and appellate review. The earlier reference in the Court’s order to “approximately forty-two defendants” therefore misstates the operative structure of the case. This clarification is filed while the Court retains plenary authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 19.1 to correct clerical and factual errors for accuracy in the record. This is a best efforts summary not intended to limit any impacts that may have been inadvertently omitted in error.

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I certify that on October 18, 2025, a true and correct copy of this Supplement was served via e-service through the eFileTexas system on all counsel and parties of record / appellees / defendants, including by mail to Dalfen Industries, and Texas A&M Foundation. Maqil Inc furnished incorrect address information to TCAD and cannot be noticed at present. Appellant has filed Public Information Request PIR-264- 2025 with City of Manor for the owner's accurate information and has emailed Manor Grocery owner's Project Designer, Chris Garcia Chris22garcia90@gmail.com in an attempt to gather this information.
