STATEMENT OF FACTS

Appellant, Elma Thomas has been a resident at Peters Colon since 2009. Appellant signed documents earlier this year, under the impression that she had signed a new lease. However, because of her tenure, and trust in Management, she did not obtain a copy of the documents she signed. According to a copy of the Appellee's Brief that was mailed to the Appellant, her lease term began on February 1, 2014, and ended on January 31.2014. If you review the Lease Contract (See Exhibit A), the Date of Lease Contract is February 10, 2014. In the body of the Lease, paragraph 3, the Lease Contract Date is February 1, 2014. The Date the Lease was signed is February 10, 2014. There are too many inconsistencies in the statements, and documents from Peters Colony. There are inconsistencies in the dates given for Appellant to Vacate the premises, and the Lease Date (See Exhibit A). At the top of the Lease, the Contract Date is February 10, 2014. In Paragraph 3, the Lease Contract begins February 1, 2015. The Appellant signed the Lease in 2014, on February 10, 2014 It also states that the lease will automatically renew month to month, unless a 30-day written notice of termination is given, or intent to move out. Sswe the Appellant Recernes Housins historyare, She cannot start move out without proper notation to the Housins historyary, or she could lose the Housins, or failest Heal Value. The Time frame RefuseH mAllch H (NoteE to Vicare), And MAreH 3, 2015, is only 5 Days. There is no way that the Appellant could have found Somewhere to move to, and still be in compliance with Dallas Housins historyary. Espectally, with no frame, or transpantation. What MayeneD to the Documents that LOBE SsGMED. REsT is still teEasD Paid to Peters Colony, And Appellant Still Recernes a check for ultial historyary. It Has almost been impossible to actually speak to someone at the Housins historyary, that actually marbles these Vecchods, And Get a Resubtation to this Sttugation, How is Peters Colony Gettin's EasDary.

ARGUMENT

Both sides did not have the opportunity to present their case, because both witnesses were threatened to be held in Contempt of Court. One witness was allowed to confirm that the Appellant was indeed a Pauper, and unable to pay court cost. Because of the threat of Contempt of Court, the Appellant was afraid to call the witness back to the stand. The second witness was also threatened with Contempt of Court during the Hearing. The Judge's behavior was unprofessional, as if this was some game, while the clerk laughed at his conduct before, during, and after the Hearing was over. The Appellant asked if she could call her witnesses, and it was denied by the Judge. However, he allowed the Attorney for Peters Colony to speak, and set the Bond at $\backslash$ 8222.00$. The Hearing was only a formality, with absolutely no intention of changing his mind. His mind was made up, before he entered the courtroom. The Appellant had to act as her own Attorney, (because an Attorney was denied by the court), and answer questions, that would have been ill-advised, had an Attorney been present.

Oral Argument

The County Court erred when it allowed testimony, and made a decision based on hearsay, which should have been inadmissible in court. The Manager, Apartment Personnel, nor the Attorney for Peters Colony was present, when any of the alleged incidences occurred. There are no police reports of anyone being threatened, or loud obnoxious behavior. However, it was stated that the police were called, for the Appellant having her music too loud. The Appellant doesn't throw parties, she lives alone. She does not deserve to lose her place to live. As a common courtesy, in living anywhere, you should always be mindful of those around you. If there was an issue/problem, Management should have spoken to both parties, in an effort to remedy the situation, and not taken one side over the other, unless she had witnessed the dispute herself.

Oral Argument (Continued)

The JP Court (Carrollton) erred, when I awarded Attorney's Fees to Peters Colony in the amount of $\backslash$ 600.00$. An Attorney was not required at this juncture of the court proceedings. The Manager, or Leasing Agent could have represented Peters Colony in court. It was at the sole discretion of the Management to hire an Attorney. It is only at the County Court, or higher, that the Apartment has to hire an Attorney, by law, because they do not own the Apartments. Therefore, the Appellant should not be responsible for paying their Attorney's Fees.

Issue Presented

Appellant has been a Resident of Peters Colony since early 2009. She has never not renewed hear lease. She signed documents, under the impression that she had a new lease. However, because of her relationship with the Manager, she did not obtain a copy. What happened to the documents that she signed? Five days is not sufficient for someone to move, receiving Housing Assistance. Proper notification has to be given, or the Appellant would forfeit her housing.(See Exhibit B).

Prayer

It is the hope and prayer of the Appellant to come to a peaceful resolution, where she can maintain her place of residence. If an agreement cannot be reached, the Appellant asking to move to another Apartment Complex. It is also the Appellant's Prayer, that the Court not render judgment against the sureties (Edith Burgess and Marisol Rodriguez) on Appellant's Supersedeas Bond. There have been no damages to the Apartment before, no during these proceedings. All rent is paid through the Dallas Housing Authority. Peters Colony has not incurred any additional cost, Late Fees, etc., by the Appellant being in her Apartment.

THE COURT SHOULD NOT AFFIRM JUDGEMENT AGAINST THE SURETY OF THE SURETY OF SUPERSEDEAS BOND.

The County Court set a Supersedeas Bond in the amount of $\backslash$ 8222.00 $,ofwhichtheAppellantpaid$ \ $822.00$ earnest money. The justification for the bond being set at this amount, was to provide protection for the Appellee, considering the value of rent likely to accrue during the Appeal, damages which may occur as a result of the stay during the Appeal, and other damages the court may deem appropriate. However, the Appellant is on the Walker Program, which is a part of the Section 8 program, and rent is paid directly to the Apartment complex, by Dallas Housing Authority. The value of rent has not accrued during this Appeal, and there have been no damages incurred by Peters Colony before, nor during this Appeal by the Appellant. Therefore, the Appellant, nor the sureties for the Appellant (Edith Burgess and Marisol Rodriguez) should not have judgment rendered against them on the Supersedeas Bond.

Housing Choice Voucher FAQ's

WHAT IS THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM (SEC 8)? The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program provides housing assistance for qualified low-income families in the rental market. Voucher holders are able to select a unit from the private rental market. Program participants pay no more than $30\%$ of their monthly adjusted income towards rent and utilities. The housing assistance payment subsidizes the balance of the rent to the property owner.

HOW CAN I BECOME PART OF THIS PROGRAM?

Eligibility for a HCV voucher is determined by the Housing Authority of Walker County (HAWC) based on the total annual gross income and family size and is limited to U.S. citizens and specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status. The family's income may not exceed $50\%$ of the area median income. Median income levels are published by HUD and vary by location. During the application process, the HAWC will collect information on family income, assets and family composition. The HAWC will verify this information and will use the information to determine program eligibility. If it is determined that your family is eligible, your application status will be upgraded from the pending status to the eligible status. When your name is next on the waiting list, the HAWC will contact you and you will be issued a voucher.

WHEN CAN I APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE?

When a date is established on when we will accept applications for the section 8 program, the HAWC will post an advertisement in the classified section of the Daily Mountain Eagle newspaper (for up to one week) which covers the entire Walker County area. We will also have it posted on our bulletin board in our lobby and it will be announced on our telephone greeting which may be heard upon calling our office at your convenience. In addition, we will have it posted on this website. Be sure to check back at your convenience.

WHERE CAN I LIVE?

The HAWC covers the entire Walker County area. Once you are issued a section 8 voucher, you may search the private rental market anywhere in Walker County for a housing unit that is decent, safe and sanitary according to the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) established by HUD and the HAWC.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I LOCATE A RENTAL UNIT?

When you have found a suitable unit and the owner agrees to lease the unity to your family under the housing choice voucher program, the HAWC will inspect the unit to assure that meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) guidelines. After the unit passes the HQS inspection and the rent has been approved, the landlord and the tenant enter into a lease agreement for an initial term of one year. The HAWC and the landlord sign a Housing Assistance Payments Contract (HAP) through which the rent is assisted on your behalf. You will be responsible for the monthly payment of the difference between the total rent and the housing assistance payment.

WHAT IF I NEED TO MOVE? CAN I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THIS ASSISTANCE?

The Housing Choice Voucher Program is designed to allow families to move without the loss of rental assistance. We realize that a family's housing needs change over time for various reasons such as job locations, changes in family size, etc. Moves are allowed as long as the proper process is followed. Your Section 8 Coordinator will be happy to walk you through the process should this situation arise. You must live in the jurisdiction of the current housing authority for at least 12 months to be eligible to transfer under the "portability" option. A family that wishes to move to another housing authority's jurisdiction must consult with the housing authority that currently administers its rental assistance to verify the procedures for moving. Failure to follow the proper process may result in the family forfeiting their voucher.

If the unit I want to rent is too expensive, can I pay the difference to the landlord on the side? No. To pay the landlord extra or additional monies on the side is fraud. This would be the landlord committing fraud and the family committing fraud. Both parties would be terminated from the program and may be prosecuted.
