-
-
-
In the appeal to the Northern District of Texas US District Court, the defendant
-
asserted that the unlawful process was confirmed by the fact that the defendant
-
had a homestead claim and that no landlord/tenant relationship existed. Evidence
-
attests to the fact that this process was not merely unlawful, but unconstitutional.
-
Confirmed on Sept. 21, 2024 and following since Sept. 21, 2023 defendant
-
understood the “homestead” claim of concern had actually been set up by Ellsberry
-
(ie., “plaintiff”) following an illegal loan arrangement in connection with mortgage
-
fraud committed against Crouse (ie., “defendant”) in May of 2019 for an illegal
-
transfer of deed and title in connection with a trust recorded with the County of
-
Dallas on Nov. 24, 2019. Additionally, defendant affirmed that the unconstitutional
-
proceeding had been commenced as an effort to elicit a bond on the faith and
-
credit of the defendant by the plaintiff, who until that time had refused to provide
-
any evidence that she, or that the person alleged to be the person over whom she
-
maintained a relationship as trustee, had and any legal claim to the property. No
-
lease agreement was ever provided; no mortgage agreement or tax statement was
-
ever provided; no identification by the plaintiff in regards to her alleged relationship
-
to the trust had ever been provided. Requests were made by defendant numerous
-
times for such documentation, both to the alleged trustee and the person alleged
-
to be the person over whom she maintained a relationship as trustee. This
-
information about efforts to obtain documentation was provided in the affidavit
-
that the defendant provided to the justice court, first in court to the judge, and then
-
to the clerk in the justice court’s office. This affidavit was provided on the day of the
-
court proceeding, Sept. 3, 2021. The judge allowed for the affidavit to be presented
-
to him in court and the defendant handed the affidavit to him in court; the judge
-
returned the affidavit and said that if an appeal was desired to file one in either the
-
office via the clerk or “downtown.” The clerk refused also to take the affidavit when
-
it was presented immediately after the court proceeding.
-
-
The defendant asserted in court that due to the proceeding that had occurred
-
immediately prior to the proceeding in this matter being called before the court,
-
she understood that there was an act of “securities fraud” ongoing at that time,
-
including in an effort to defraud efforts by the defendant earlier to file reports with
-
an Internal Affairs Department officer for a police department in another city
-
regarding allegations of fraud. The judge of the justice court referred to details
-
about the prior litigant and said that he was not the person of concern and did not
-
acknowledge the allegations of securities fraud at that time. He also did not
-
acknowledge the defendant asserting that no legal documentation of the plaintiff’s
-
relationship to either the property or the trust had ever been provided and neither
-
had any discussion ever occurred regarding any “rent.” The only discussions had
-
been regarding the “homestead” and its relationship to various repairs to the
-
property.
-
-
That the plaintiff refused to provide any documentation in court also implicates the
-
matter pertaining to the information in the “Original Petition for Eviction” itself. No
-
order for “forcible entry or detainer” was ever provided in regard to the original
-
notice or any subsequent notice, but neither was any “Bond for Possession”
-
provided, either, as was declared in the “Original Petition for Eviction.”
-
-
-
Rule 738. May Sue for Rent
-
-
A suit for rent may be joined with an action of forcible entry and detainer,
-
whenever the suit for rent is within the jurisdiction of the justice court. In such case,
-
the court in rendering judgment in the action of forcible entry and detainer, may at
-
the same time render judgment for any rent due the landlord by the renter,
-
provided the amount thereof is within the jurisdiction of the justice court.

Vernon’s Ann. Civ. St. Art. 3976
-
-
-
The above references Vernon’s from a 2010 edition of the Texas Rules of Court, Vol.
-
I - State. This belies an understanding that various case citations would explicate
-
the specific contexts for consideration of the implementation of this rule. At this
-
time, however, the facilities wherein the reference material are available are closed
-
to the public. The defendant contends that the proceeding of concern involves a
-
false “judgment lien” in regards to a prior contract for property arrangement that
-
the defendant had engaged in July of 2005 when she first came to Texas and that
-
was within one month of another person being added to the contract. The refusal
-
to provide any official documentation by the plaintiff and the evidence that has
-
come to light since the original “Notice to Vacate” on July 12, 2021 have revealed
-
that the unconstitutional proceeding herein is attempting to be conducted in
-
regards to expectations of capacity to take delivery of undisclosed payments in
-
regards to undisclosed obligations incurred in connection with frauds concerning
-
the original contract. Since the delivery of the April 1, 2022 order by the Fifth Circuit
-
Court of Appeals, the defendant understands that this illegal “lien” was permitted
-
to be abused so as to compel an appearance of default in order to exercise a
-
second illegal “lien.” Defendant contends that per information in changes that have
-
taken place to Vernon’s in regard to “public information” and the requirements
-
regarding documentation as well as Texas case law that the references regarding
-
the legacy for the explication of interpretation of statute concerning the intent of
-
the legislature when it effected the law is materially relevant to the matter at hand.
-
The changes in regards to Vernon’s citations substantiate the charges in the original
-
appeal regarding the commencement of the proceeding at a time prior to which
-
the specific law that was of concern went into effect so as to attempt to effect an
-
outcome that was not applicable at the time of the commencement.
-
-
Additionally, defendant understands that the timeline for which the federal district
-
court proceeded in the appeal concurs with events that would correspond with the
-
treatment of the matter as if it were applicable for consideration in a case
-
regarding forcible entry and detainer, however, no order regarding forcible entry
-
and detainer was provided.
-
-
As stated in the appeal presented after the Sept. 21, 2021 forcible entry, the
-
defendant refused to provide entry until such time as a search warrant had been
-
provided. Additionally, the defendant acknowledged that a search warrant would
-
have been required in order to access alleged “property” that was being held onsite
-
under a triple lock system as part of evidence in another matter that had been
-
within the appeal period for a federal district court case at the time of the forcible
-
entry. Until this time, defendant has refused to provide any access and no search
-
warrant has been provided.
-
-
An additional consideration comes into account when considering that the alleged
-
“rent” reported on the “Original Petition for Eviction” was “$0.00.” Defendant
-
contends that this is itself further evidence of the intent to engage a bad faith
-
proceeding in order to elicit a bond on the faith and credit of the defendant that
-
would correspond with a determination that the amount on the bond would be
-
requisite to the amount of “$0.00.” The “value” of the “property” of concern is not
-
“$0.00.” This “property” of concern is not available legally for or as rent, including
-
insofar as no verbal or written agreement had been provided regarding a
-
landlord/tenant relationship. The implications of the above rule and the intent to
-
defraud by virtue of the unconstitutional proceeding have been confirmed via
-
evidence that has come to light in the course of the effort to appeal the matter to
-
the federal district court, including within the last 21 days. As stated above, more
-
evidence became available on the second as well as third annual anniversaries of
-
the motions and orders in the case until now.
-
-
-
Rule 749b. Pauper’s Affidavit in Nonpayment of Rent Appeals
-
-
In a nonpayment of rent forcible detainer case a tenant/appellant, who has
-
appealed by filing a pauper’s affidavit under these rules shall be entitled to stay in
-
possession of the premises during the pendency of the appeal by complying with
-
the following procedure:
-
-
1) Within five days of the date that the tenant/appellant files his pauper’s affidavit,
-
he must pay into the justice court registry one rental period’s rent under the terms
-
of the rental agreement.
-
2) During the appeal process as rent becomes due under the rental agreement, the
-
tenant/appellant shall pay the rent into the county registry within five days of the
-
due date under the terms of the rental agreement.
-
-
3) If the tenant/appellant fails to pay the rent into the court registry within the time
-
limits prescribed by these rules, the appellee may file a notice of default in the
-
county court. Upon sworn motion by the appellee and a showing of default to the
-
judge, the court shall issue a writ of restitution.
-
-
4) Landlord/appellee may withdraw any or all rent in the county court registry
-
upon a) sworn motion and hearing prior to final determination of the case showing
-
just cause, b) dismissal of the appeal, or c) order of the court upon final hearing.
-
-
5) All hearings and motions under this rule shall be entitled to precedence in the
-
county court.
-
-
May 9, 1977, eff. Sept. 1, 1977
-
-
-
As asserted in this rule, the plaintiff has no claim to any rent without registering
-
with the county registry. In order to set up an account with the county registry, the
-
plaintiff would have been required to provide legal documentation of eligibility to
-
open an account with the county registry. That would also have included
-
confirmation of the legally-substantiated rent claim agreement and the amount. No
-
such documentation has been provided. Hence, the attempt to elicit a bond on the
-
faith and credit of the defendant also defrauds the justice court insofar as the
-
proceeding was permitted to be conducted in accordance with the faith and credit
-
of the court. That the rent amount was listed as “$0.00” also compels consideration
-
of the implications in the event of an act of fraud permitting for a
-
mischaracterization of “default” to occur. The defendant contended at the time of
-
her appeal to the federal district court on Sept. 7, 2021 that this was a criminal
-
matter and not an eviction proceeding. The defendant also informed the attorney
-
for the plaintiff of this contention on July 15, 2021 after the receipt of the July 12,
-
2021 “Notice to Vacate” as it was suspected as being an effort to obstruct an
-
ongoing case that had been submitted to the federal district court for which a
-
judgment was delivered in the time during which this unconstitutional proceeding
-
was being engaged. The Sept. 3, 2021 court proceeding in the justice court occured
-
18 days after the judgment in a case that was itself against representatives of the
-
State of Texas and had been pending in the federal district court. That case,
-
however, would also have meant that the judgment was delivered 15 days BEFORE
-
the implementation of the law change that was what the defendant contends is the
-
matter at hand herein went into effect. That case was still within its appeal period
-
during the timeframe that the court proceeding took place, meaning the
-
implications of “securities fraud’ committed in the justice court have bearing on the
-
case before the court against representatives of the State of Texas.
-
-
The defendant submitted her affidavit to the court under other rules of the court
-
and in consideration of an appropriate process for proceeding as pertains to a
-
homestead claim as opposed to a landlord/tenant relationship or a mortgage. That
-
affidavit, however, and the appeal in the federal district court would have been
-
sufficient to meet the legal determination for proceeding in the form of a pauper,
-
especially in the the void of any effort to adequately address the matters pertaining
-
to the plaintiff’s attempt to enforce an eviction for lack of rent payment when the
-
amount of the rent was listed as “$0.00.” The defendant contends, however, that in
-
addition to the evidence that was illegally acquired and stolen in the course of an
-
appeal, that there was substantial property of the defendant’s onsite that was
-
worth a considerable amount of money and for which receipts and inventories that
-
had already been created and were onsite were stolen. Additionally, the fact that
-
the defendant’s personal identification documents were also stolen and have until
-
this time been refused return is further evidence of the intent to attempt to elicit a
-
bond on the faith and credit of the defendant in an intentional and willful effort to
-
engage acts of securities fraud and other crimes. It is now more than three and a
-
half years since identification documentation was stolen and the court has refused
-
to order the plaintiff to return it. In that time, defendant is not legally eligible to
-
record more than “$0.00” of “income” as part of an employment arrangement, even
-
if she went “downtown.”

Vernon’s Ann. Civ. St. Art. 3987.
-
-
-
As can be seen via the official determination above, in order for a suit for forcible
-
entry and detainer to be commenced, the plaintiff must provide the bond. The
-
defendant contends that the plaintiff intentionally engaged a suit under false
-
pretenses to elicit a bond on the faith and credit of the defendant. That the justice
-
court refused the affidavit and that the defendant had to appeal “downtown” (as in
-
the federal district court) also provides evidence of the charges, including that in
-
previous suits before the federal district court the defendant’s efforts to proceed as
-
the petitioner were permitted to proceed “in forma pauperis” or via an affidavit
-
regarding “inability to pay filing fees” but was NOT accepted in the appeal of this
-
matter, despite the affidavit being accepted as part of the case that was filed in the
-
federal district court. Defendant also contends that NO information on alleged
-
“lawyer’s fees” or the costs of “filing fees” by the plaintiff has been provided, while
-
billing records and other financial information about the defendant – including in
-
regards to costs associated with her other efforts to file via the federal district court
-
as well as the Supreme Court of Texas and the Supreme Court of the United States
-
in the time since when she had moved into the premises – had been stolen.
-
Defendant contends that the plaintiff bears responsibility for the costs of the
-
appeal as well as the costs of the damages accorded in the context of the
-
unconstitutional proceeding itself.

Rule 749c. Appeal Perfected
-
-
When an appeal bond has been timely filed in conformity with Rule 749 or a
-
pauper’s affidavit approved in conformity with Rule 749a, the appeal shall be
-
perfected.
-
-
May 9, 1977, eff. Sept. 1, 1977; Amended by orders of April 15, 1982, eff. Aug. 15, 1982;
-
April 24, 1990; eff. Sept. 1, 1990.
-
​
-
1990 Amendment
-
-
Rewrote rule which prior thereto read:
-
-
“The appeal in any forcible detainer case shall be perfected when an appeal bond
-
has been filed.
-
-
“When a pauper’s affidavit has been filed in lieu of the appeal bond, the appeal
-
shall be perfected when the pauper’s affidavit is filed with the court; however,
-
when the case involves nonpayment of rent, such appeal is perfected when the
-
pauper’s affidavit has been filed and when one rental period’s rent has been paid
-
into the justice court registry. In a case where the pauper’s affidavit is contested by
-
the landlord, the appeal shall be perfected when the contest is overruled, and if the
-
case involves nonpayment of rent, one rental period’s rent has been paid into the
-
justice county registry.”
-
-
-
Defendant contends that just as in the manner in which the Sept. 3, 2021 court
-
proceeding is implicated in the charges regarding the case for which the district
-
court allegedly issued a judgment on Aug. 16, 2021, that the Fifth Circuit Court of
-
Appeals and the April 1, 2022 judgment is likewise implicated. That the case was
-
remanded by the federal district court to the local justice court recurrently and the
-
means by which it was allowed to be taken for delivery by the Fifth Circuit Court of
-
Appeals demonstrates that the appeal period for the matter is still pending and
-
that the jurisdiction for the case is in the federal district court, not the local justice
-
court. Additionally, defendant contends that the case is not a case regarding a
-
landlord/tenant relationship, but an attempt to defraud a mortgage claim and
-
commit violations of the law that legally constitute criminal acts of securities fraud
-
and other crimes. As such, this case is not appropriate for a civil court but is
-
appropriate for a criminal court of consideration.
-
-
At this time, defendant requests that the court approve this case for transfer to a
-
criminal court while also granting relief to the defendant by returning her to her
-
property and granting a restraining order against the plaintiff during the pendency
-
of the criminal proceeding. The defendant also requests the court enjoin anyone
-
else subsequent to the July 12, 2021 “Notice to Vacate” from access to or
-
consideration in regards to any benefit related to these charges. These requests are
-
within the court’s jurisdiction to grant.
