Nadir Poonwala, Individually and D/B/A Capital Automotive and Transmission v. Yusuf Ebrahim
Nadir Poonwala, Individually and D/B/A Capital Automotive and Transmission v. Yusuf Ebrahim
Opinion
PER CURIAM
Appellee Yusuf Ebrahim sued appellant Nadir Poonwala for fraud, breach of an oral partnership contract, rescission of promissory notes, and in quantum meruit. Poonwala counterclaimed by a suit on the promissory notes and for breach of the oral partnership agreement, and in quantum meruit. After a non-jury trial, the trial court entered a judgment that ordered that Poonwala take nothing by his counterclaims. In one point of error, Poonwala asserted that the trial court erred in not filing findings of fact and conclusions of law although he timely filed a request for findings of fact and conclusions of law and a notice of past due findings of fact and conclusions of law. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 296, 297. Because we determined that the record does not affirmatively show that the presumption of harm that arises from the failure to file findings of fact and conclusions was overcome, this Court sustained the point of error. But, rather than reverse for a new trial, we ordered that the district court file findings of fact and conclusions of law and that the findings of fact and conclusions of law be forwarded to this court in a supplemental transcript by December 30, 1994. Poonwala v. Ebrahim, No. 3-93-467-CV (Tex. App.--Austin Dec. 7, 1994, no writ h.) (not designated for publication); see Tex. R. App. P. 81(a); Cherne Indus., Inc. v. Magallanes, 763 S.W.2d 768, 772 (Tex. 1989). To date, the Clerk of this Court has not received a supplemental transcript containing the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded for a new trial.
