Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS
§ WBL SPO I, LLC, WBL SPO II, No. 08-23-00217-CV LLC and ALBERT ADEL § SHEHATA, Appeal from the § Appellants, 109th District Court § v. of Andrews County, Texas § UNITED HOTELS, LLC and (TC# 21,913) GHADA GLAESSNER, § Appellees. §
JUDGMENT
The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes the trial court’s judgment
should be affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part. Thus, we affirm the trial court’s
order striking WBL SPO II’s intervention, dated May 5, 2023; its order granting United Hotels’
motion for summary judgment on WBL SPO I’s claim to quiet title, dated May 15, 2023, which
effectively quieted title in United Hotels; and its motion denying WBL SPO I and WBL SPO II’s
motion to reconsider, dated July 18, 2023. Moreover, we hold the summary judgment evidence
conclusively established that Shehata acted without the requisite authority when conveying title to
TDFI. Consequently, the trial court properly determined the warranty deed from United Hotels to TDFI, and the Deed of Trust on behalf of Axos Bank, were void. As for the trial court’s grant of
summary judgment on the several causes of action, we affirm in part and reverse in part. We affirm
the trial court’s judgment that Shehata breached his fiduciary duties, and we reverse the judgment
in favor of United Hotels and against Shehata on its Texas Theft Liability Act claim. We remand
the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
We further order that Appellees recover from Appellants and their sureties, if any, for
performance of the judgment and all costs of appeal, for which let execution issue. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 43.5. This decision shall be certified below for observance.
IT IS SO ORDERED this the 18th day of July 2025.
GINA M. PALAFOX, Justice
