vii *9 S TATEMENT OF THE C ASE Nature of Case

Breach of bank deposit agreement.

The 164 th District Court in Harris Trial Court

County, Texas, the Hon. Alexandra Smoots–Hogan

Course of Proceedings Perry D. Felix d/b/a Han’s Laser Technology Co. (“Felix”) sued Prosperity Bank (“Prosperity”) alleging unauthorized wire transfers from his account. CR.5– 17. Prosperity counterclaimed alleging untimely notice and resulting breach of the deposit contract’s covenant not to sue. SuppCR.183–86. Prosperity moved for summary judgment on Felix’s claims and the counterclaim. CR.84, et seq.; SuppCR.77, et seq.; 103, et seq.; SuppCR.225, et seq. 133, et seq.; SuppCR.3, et seq.

Trial Court’s Disposition The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Prosperity on all Felix’s claims against Prosperity and all Prosperity’s claims against Felix but declined to award attorneys’ fees to Prosperity. CR.172–73.

1 *10 C ROSS I SSUE P RESENTED The trial court erred by failing to award attorneys’ fees to

Prosperity for Felix’s breach of the written deposit agreement.

P RELIMINARY S TATEMENT This cross–appellant’s brief focuses on Prosperity’s counterclaim for attorneys’ fees. The record conclusively shows (i) the contract includes a conditioned covenant not to sue; (ii) without satisfying the condition precedent, suit was filed; and (iii) despite notice and opportunity to stand down, Felix elected to continue prosecuting the claims in violation of his agreement not to sue.

Prosperity reserves for its appellee’s brief arguments responsive to such issues as Felix, as appellant, may present. S TATEMENT OF F ACTS P ERTINENT TO P ROSPERITY ’ S C ROSS I SSUE Felix had a deposit account at Prosperity. See SuppCR.87–91, 93,

94–100. The account was governed by a written deposit agreement.

See id. The written agreement provides, in part:

STATEMENTS – You must examine your statement of account with “reasonable promptness.” If you discover (or reasonably should have discovered) any unauthorized payments or alterations, you must promptly notify us of the relevant facts.

* * * 2

*11 You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and report to us will depend on the circumstances, but will not, in any circumstance, exceed a total of 30 days from when the statement is first made available to you.

You further agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries or any other errors in your account within 60 days of when we make the statement available, you cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and the loss will be entirely yours.

This 60 day limitation is without regard to whether we exercised ordinary care. The limitation in this paragraph is in addition to that contained in the first paragraph of this section.

SuppCR.93; see also SuppCR.97. Prosperity sent statements of the account monthly. SuppCR.89; see also SuppCR.101–20. Felix contends he promptly examined the account statements. SuppCR.156 (resp. to req. for adm’n #18). Each of the wire transfers for which Felix sued is disclosed on a statement of the account (see SuppCR.101–20); the last two transactions appear on the statement dated December 31, 2010. See SuppCR.115–17.

Felix claims to have requested additional documentation – at the earliest between December 16, 2010 and March 29, 2011 – regarding unspecified wire transfers. The first indication that Felix actually identified particular wire transfers he considered problematic, i.e., notified Prosperity of relevant facts (see SuppCR.93, 97), is his purported July 12,

3 *12 2011 telephone call and follow–up e–mail. See SuppCR.208. Of four transactions identified – “[t]he other wire transfers and amounts can be dismissed . . .” (id.), Felix admitted in discovery that two were authorized. SuppCR.149. As to his authorization of a third wire transfer identified in the email (8/9/10; $5,832.00), Felix answered “unable to either admit or deny.” SuppCR.153. And, the fourth (8/26/2010; $21,770.00) Felix responded, “denied”; but, he expounded that the transfer appeared to duplicate a previous transfer and that Prosperity failed to “combine[] or consolidate[]” transfers to the same vendor “to avoid duplicate transaction fees as was customary for wire transfers submitted and authorized by Plaintiff.” SuppCR.150.

Felix sent a letter to Prosperity’s Mr. Gonzales (in Houston) dated September 23, 2011. SuppCR.210–11. The letter requests documents regarding wire transfers for the period “March 2010 through 2011.” Id. Despite his July statement that “[t]he other wire transfers and amounts can be dismissed . . .” (SuppCR.208), Felix included a list of 23 transactions. SuppCR.211. Neither the letter nor the list describes any transaction as unauthorized. SuppCR.210–11.

4 *13 Felix sent another letter, also dated September 23, 2011, to Prosperity’s Mr. Zalman at the Corporate Office in El Campo. See SuppCR.121–22. Felix listed eleven transfers and described two “faxed wire transfer requests” as “fraudulent.” SuppCR.121. One of the so–called “fraudulent” transactions is the same 8/26/2010, $21,770.00 transaction mentioned above. 1 See SuppCR.150. Regarding the other so–called “fraudulent” transaction (10/19/2010), Felix had previously described his “investigat[ion].” See SuppCR.208. The July 12, 2011 email did not challenge authorization for the transfer. Rather, Felix wrote, “I have a record of this transfer however the vendor claimed they did not receive payment . . ..” Id. In any event, Felix’s report was more than 60 days after all related statements.

Prosperity’s October 3, 2011 response specifically addressed the two so–called “fraudulent” transactions – August 26, 2010 ($21,770.00); October 19, 2010 ($31,146.00) – including how each was initiated and to whom each was sent. SuppCR.44. Prosperity’s letter specifically referred to the deposit agreement provision requiring notice of any claimed errors within 60 days and Felix’s failure to have provided such notice. Id. 1 There also was a $38,849.00 wire on 8/26/2010. Felix gave a similar interrogatory response claiming supposed duplication of transaction fees, not a lack of authorization to wire funds. SuppCR.151.

5 *14 Almost two years later Felix sued. CR.5. In a letter dated October 7, 2013, counsel for Prosperity requested dismissal of the suit referencing Texas Rule of Procedure 13, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code chapters 9 and 10 and terms of the account agreement. SuppCR.166–68. As above, the account agreement includes that Felix had 30 days to examine statements and report problems. SuppCR.93; SuppCR.97. The contract includes Felix’s “further agree[ment]” that if he failed to report errors within 60 days of statement availability, he “cannot assert a claim … on any item in that statement . . ..” Id. With demand and the opportunity to do so, Felix declined to dismiss his claims against Prosperity.

S UMMARY OF THE A RGUMENT An agreement not to assert a claim should be treated as any other contractual obligation. In a relationship governed by a written contract, Felix failed to comply with a condition precedent by failing to review statements and report relevant facts within 30 days. Felix also failed to honor his agreement that he cannot assert a claim without first having reported allegedly “unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries or any other errors” within 60 days of when a statement containing a supposed error was made available. Felix’s failure to comply with the agreement injured

6 *15 Prosperity including the costs and fees incurred to respond to claims Felix agreed he “cannot assert.” Prosperity is entitled to enforce the contract as written and recover the foreseeable damages caused by Felix’s breach. Having granted summary judgment in Prosperity’s favor on all of its claims against Felix (CR.173), the trial court abused its discretion by failing to award damages supported by the pleadings, the motion and the summary judgment evidence.

A RGUMENT & A UTHORITIES & S TANDARD OF R EVIEW Standard of Review To show itself entitled to relief through a traditional motion for summary judgment, Prosperity must have established that no issue of material fact exists on its counterclaim and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 166a(c); SAS Inst., Inc. v. Breitenfeld, 167 S.W.3d 840, 841 (Tex. 2005). The Court’s review is de novo. Jim Maddox Properties, LLC v. WEM Equity Capital Investments, Ltd., 446 S.W.3d 126, 131 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 2014, no pet.) (citing Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp Advisors, Inc. v. Fielding, 289 S.W.3d 844, 848 (Tex. 2009)).

Where the motion and summary judgment evidence facially establish the movant’s right to judgment as a matter of law, the burden 7 *16 shifts to the non–movant to raise a genuine, material fact issue sufficient to defeat summary judgment. See M.D. Anderson Hosp. & Tumor Inst. v. Willrich, 28 S.W.3d 22, 23–24 (Tex. 2000). A material fact issue is “genuine” only if the evidence is such that “a reasonable jury could find the fact in favor of the nonmoving party.” Rayon v. Energy Specialties, Inc., 121 SW.3d 7, 11 (Tex. App.–Fort Worth 2002, no pet.). Felix failed to comply with the written agreement.

Prosperity counterclaimed for breach of the written deposit agreement. SuppCR.183–86. The contract was conclusively proved to exist. See SuppCR.87–91, 93, 94–100. The contract includes Felix’s agreement that he cannot assert the claims he asserted without first having complied with his duty to timely report. SuppCR.93, 97. Felix’s failure to comply with his contractual obligation to report any problems appearing on an account statement within 30 days or 60 days after any specific account statement was made available was conclusively established. See, e.g., SuppCR.89. Nevertheless, Felix sued. Prosperity’s injury was foreseeable; it was required to appear, defend the claims and assert its right to enforce the contract as written. Prosperity conclusively established the injury and the amount of fees it incurred. See SuppCR.74–76, 124–26.

8 *17 Because Prosperity conclusively established its injury that would not have occurred but for Felix’s breach, Prosperity was entitled to recover its fees and the trial court erred by failing to award them. The deposit agreement is treated like any contract.

“A deposit contract between a bank and an account holder is considered a contract in writing for all purposes ….” Tex. Fin. Code § 34.301. When interpreting a contract the court endeavors “to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the parties as that intent is expressed in the contract.” See, e.g., Seagull Energy E & P, Inc. v. Eland Energy, Inc., 207 S.W.3d 342, 345 (Tex. 2006); Flavor Finish Resurfacing, L.L.C. v. Ellerkamp, 01–11–00099–CV, 2012 WL 3776345, at *4 (Tex. App.– Houston [1st Dist.] Aug. 30, 2012, no pet.) (mem. op.). The trial court properly construed the plain language to the effect that Felix “further agree[d] that if [he] fail[ed] to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries or any other errors in [the] account within 60 days of when we make the statement available, you cannot assert a claim against [Prosperity] on any items in that statement” (see SuppCR.93, 97) and determined that Felix breached that agreement. CR.172–73. However, the trial court erred by failing to award attorneys’ fees, the fees and expenses necessarily incurred in responding to a suit Felix promised not to bring.

9 *18 The Court reviews decisions regarding the award of attorneys’ fees de novo. See G.R.A.V.I.T.Y. Enters., Inc. v. Reece Supply Co., 177 S.W.3d 537, 546 (Tex. App.–Dallas 2005, no pet.). Attorneys’ fees are recoverable.

The general rule in Texas is that attorney’s fees incurred in prosecuting or defending a lawsuit are not recoverable in that suit absent a statute or contract allowing the recovery. See Tony Gullo Motors I, L.P. v. Chapa, 212 S.W.3d 299, 310–11 (Tex. 2006) (“Absent a contract or statute, trial courts do not have inherent authority to require a losing party to pay the prevailing party’s fees.”); Wm. Cameron & Co. v. Am. Sur. Co. of N.Y., 55 S.W.2d 1032, 1035 (Tex. Comm’n App. 1932, judgm’t adopted) (“It is settled law in this state that, unless provided for by statute or by contract between the parties, attorneys’ fees incurred by a party to litigation are not recoverable against his adversary either in an action in tort or a suit upon a contract.”). The rule is known as the American Rule. See Buckhannon Bd. & Care Home, Inc. v. W. Va. Dep’t of Health and Human Res., 532 U.S. 598, 602, 121 S. Ct. 1835, 149 L.Ed.2d 855 (2001) (“[P]arties are ordinarily required to bear their own attorney’s fees—the prevailing party is not entitled to collect from the loser.”); Fleischmann Distilling Corp. v. Maier Brewing Co., 386 U.S. 714, 718, 87 S. Ct. 1404,

10 *19 18 L.Ed.2d 475 (1967). The rationale was succinctly stated well over a century ago in Sherrick v. Wyland, 14 Tex. Civ. App. 299, 37 S.W. 345, 345 (1896): “It has often been ruled, in this state and elsewhere, that fees of counsel, incurred in prosecuting a suit for or defending against a wrong, are not ordinarily recoverable as actual damages, because they are not considered proximate results of such wrong.” See Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P. v. Nat’l Dev. & Research Corp. , 299 S.W.3d 106, 120 (Tex. 2009). Here the fees incurred are the proximate result of Felix’s breach; but for his non–compliance, there would have been no suit to defend and no counterclaim to pursue. Both the contract and a statute afford Prosperity the right to recover the fees for which it counterclaimed.

The contract includes Felix’s express agreement not to make a claim without first having timely reported the problem underlying the suit. SuppCR.93, 97. Texas law has been clear for over 100 years:

A covenant not to sue may be plead in suspension of action by the debtor whenever broken, and its observance will be enforced, and damages for breach may be recovered.

Smith v. Garrett, 29 Tex. 48, 52 (1867). Further, the contract itself need not provide for attorneys’ fees. See Helping Hands Home Care, Inc. v. Home Health of Tarrant County, Inc., 393 S.W.3d 492, 516 (Tex. App.– Dallas 2013, pet. denied).

11 *20 Prosperity is entitled to its fees under Chapter 38. The statute, chapter 38 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, 2 has been applied by this Court and others to afford the relief to which Prosperity is entitled. See, e.g., Boyaki v. John M. O’Quinn & Associates, PLLC, 01–12–00984–CV, 2014 WL 4855021, at *13–14 (Tex. App.– Houston [1st Dist.] Sept. 30, 2014, pet. filed) (mem. op.); Woody v. J. Black’s, L.P., 07–12–00192–CV, 2013 WL 5744359, at *6 (Tex. App.– Amarillo Oct. 13, 2013, pet. denied) (mem. op.) (“injunction enforcing specific performance of a contract is something of value” sufficient to support Chapter 38 attorneys’ fees and rejecting argument that an award of monetary damages were required); Albataineh v. Eshtehardi, 01–12– 00671–CV, 2013 WL 1858864, at *1–2 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] May 2, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op.) (“judgment requiring specific performance of a material contract right can support an award of attorney’s fees”); Rasmusson v. LBC PetroUnited, Inc., 124 S.W.3d 283, 287 (Tex. App.–Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. denied) (holding that award of specific performance of arbitration agreement permitted recovery 2 See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 38.001, et seq. “The Legislature instructs us to construe section 38.001 ‘liberally ... to promote its underlying purposes.’” 1/2 Price Checks Cashed v. United Auto. Ins. Co., 344 S.W.3d 378, 382 (Tex. 2011) (quoting Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 38.005).

12 *21 of Chapter 38 attorneys’ fees and rejecting argument that monetary damages were required); Williams v. Compressor Eng’g Corp., 704 S.W.2d 469, 474 (Tex. App.–Houston [14th Dist.] 1986, writ ref’d n.r.e.) (interpreting Chapter 38 to authorize an award of attorneys’ fees when a party “successfully prosecutes a claim founded on ... written contracts.”). 3 Thus, as the Court held in Boyaki, if the evidence supports a finding that such relief – there a promise to end litigation; here a promise not to sue in the first place – is of more than nominal economic value, section 38.001 affords the claimant its attorneys’ fees, provided that all other conditions to a right to recovery under that chapter are met. Boyaki, 2014 WL 4855021, at *14. Prosperity complied with Chapter 38.

Prosperity satisfied “all other conditions” to its right to recover under Chapter 38. Prosperity was represented by counsel; it presented the counterclaim to Felix by letter (SuppCR.45–47); and Felix failed to “pay” by failing to dismiss his unfounded suit within thirty days of presentment. 3 But see, e.g., Haubold v. Medical Carbon Research Inst., 2014 WL 1018008 at *5–6 (Tex. App.–Austin March 14, 2014, no pet.) (mem. op.) (specific performance to enforce Rule 11 agreement was not a recovery of actual damages; thus fees incurred in enforcing the agreement were not recoverable); Berg v. Wilson, 353 S.W.3d 166, 182 (Tex. App.–Texarkana 2011, pet. denied) (concluding, “because Wilson did not recover actual damages, she was not entitled to recover attorneys’ fees on her [Rule 11] breach of contract claim,” but affirming award on alternative basis).

13 *22 Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 38.002; see Brainard v. Trinity Universal Ins. Co., 216 S.W.3d 809, 817 (Tex. 2006); see also Honeycutt v. Billingsley, 992 S.W.2d 570, 581 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. denied). Prosperity conclusively proved its fees.

Prosperity proved the reasonableness, necessity and amount of its fees. SuppCR.74–76, 90, 124–26. Felix did not controvert and did not object to the affidavit testimony of attorneys William Huttenbach and Charles Pignuolo. See Lofton v. Texas Brine Corp., 777 S.W.2d 384, 386 (Tex. 1989) (Testimony of an interested witness may establish a fact as a matter of law only if: (1) the testimony could be readily contradicted if untrue; (2) it is clear, direct, and positive; and (3) there are no circumstances tending to discredit or impeach it.). Attorney Huttenbach testified that reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees comprised his firm’s calculated charges of $8,500.00 as of the date of his affidavit (October 17, 2014; SuppCR.76), plus anticipated additional fees for twelve hours at the rate of $345.00 per hour, plus fees previously incurred for services rendered by Mr. Pignuolo. SuppCR.74–75. Attorney Pignuolo testified that his firm’s reasonable and necessary fees and out–of–pocket expenses through the date of his affidavit (April 17, 2014; SuppCR.126) totaled

14 *23 $8,539.52 and would likely increase at the rate of $300.00 per hour thereafter. SuppCR.125. Based on the testimony, Prosperity conclusively proved reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees in at least the amount of $21,197.52.

Having conclusively proved Felix’s failure to comply with his agreement not to assert the claims he asserted; having established the elements of section 38.002; and, having presented clear, direct, positive and uncontroverted evidence of the amount of its reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees, award of such fees was mandatory. See Bocquet v. Herring, 972 S.W.2d 19, 20 (Tex. 1998); Anderson v. McCormick, 01– 12–00856–CV, 2013 WL 5884931, at *5 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] Oct. 31, 2013, no pet.). On this record, the trial court had no discretion to award $0.00. See Pala v. Maxim, 01–01–00618–CV, 2002 WL 188567, at *6 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 7, 2002, no pet.) (citing Bocquet, supra). Prosperity, therefore, is entitled to reversal and rendition as to the portion of the judgment omitting an award of Prosperity’s fees.

[In the alternative, only, should the Court determine that Prosperity’s fees were not conclusively established below, based on the foregoing arguments and record references (see, e.g., SuppCR.74–76, 124– 26), there is some evidence of the reasonableness, necessity and an amount

15 *24 of fees. Consequently, Prosperity is entitled – at minimum – to remand for

a determination of the correct amount to be awarded.]

C ONCLUSION & P RAYER For at least the foregoing reasons, Prosperity asks the Court to reverse the trial court’s judgment, in part, and to render judgment in Prosperity’s favor as to all liability issues and to render judgment that Prosperity recover the amount of $21,179.52 from Felix and for all additional or alternative relief to which it may be justly entitled.
