1 May 13, 2015 2 PROCEEDINGS 3 THE COURT: Calling to order Cause Number 425.576 in the 401; In Re: Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust. We're here on Daniel Warren's Plea To The Jurisdiction.

10 DANIEL WARREN'S PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION 11 ARGUMENT BY MS. CANTRELL: 12 MS. CANTRELL: Well hopefully this will be the easiest of the three Weiner Trust cases.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 All the controversies were settled; all the cllaims were gone and the parties were gone.

3 I would like to go ahead and irtroduce as Exhibit 1, the date order so that there's no question about that just to make sure. What I have in Exhibit 1 for you, Sarah, is the Daniel's nonsuit of his entire case against Andy Weiner. And I have this Ccurt's order granting his nonsuit and dismissal. His nonsuit was March lOth; the dismissal was March 16th; anc the counter and cross-petition was March 24th.

19 We'll mark those Exhibit 1 for the notice of nonsuit. Exhibit 2 for the dismissal. Ar.d Exhibit 3 for the counter and cross-petition.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 that is admitted as Plaintiff's Exhibit 2. Jnd Andy Weiner's Counter and Cross-Petition is admitted as Plaintiff's Exhibit 3.

14 MS. PACHECO: I have no objection.

15 MS. CANTRELL: Okay.

16 THE COURT: Okay. Andy Weiner's Second Amended Cross-Claims Against Katherine Warren Formerly Known As Katherine Weiner is admitted as Plaintiff's Exhibit 4.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 not the agreed, but the amended order to sever - that being dated November 17th of 2014, showing clearly that those cross-claims were not moved.

4 MS. PACHECO: No objection.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 Daniel's case - the cross-claims aren't.

9 MS. CANTRELL: I would agree to leave it out if there's no objection that the cross-claims are not in Daniel's case.

19 MS. PACHECO: The Court's order speaks for itself. And the Court's order specifically says that you are moving over, let me find the exact wcrding ...

22 "All prior motions, discovery crders, responses and answers." And then there is a laundry list of specific pleadings. So, the order Sfeaks for itself. I don't think conversations between Counsel and

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 court staff who are trying to be helpful but certainly weren't shepherding responsible a ruling on these matters is any way relevant to the appellate record in this case.

5 MS. CANTRELL: Then I would point out that prior discovery, orders, motions, responses and answers do not include pleadings. And that cross-claim would be a pleading. So, I mean, if we're in agreemer.t that the cross-claim does not apply to this case, ther., I'm okay not admitting the emails.

11 MS. PACHECO: I've said my objection, Your Honor, at this point. I believe I don't think I have anything else to add, and I'm just wasting ycur time reiterating the same thing. It's for the Co~rt to rule.

15 I believe the record speaks for itself, and it's for the appellate court to determine where somebody is going to go.

18 THE COURT: Okay. I'm not going to be able to admit Exhibit 6.

20 MS. CANTRELL: Okay. That's fine.

21 THE COURT: Okay. So, let's ccntinue.

22 MS. CANTRELL: In a case like Laniel's where there is a nonsuit and there are no outstanding claims, it's clear there was no cross-claim against Katherine and the counter and cross-petition was filed

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND R,PORTER

1 well after the dismissal. That is on all 4', - the supreme court case of Greenberg versus Brookshire. And that case has been followed over a hundred times in all kinds of cases. Greenberg versus Brookshire was a divorce case, but it's been followed by Texas Supreme Court cases, it's been followed by appeal court cases, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the federal courts.

8 It's the law of the land. It's a landmark case. It was a case exactly like this where there was a suit and a nonsuit and a counter-claim following the nonsuit. And the supreme court mandamused the judge - it was a district court judge in Jefferson County - and said, "Halt. The case is over." 14 And I submit that our case is Greenberg versus Brookshire on all 4's.

16 MS. PACHECO: May I proceed, Your Honor?

17 THE COURT: Certainly.

18 DANIEL WARREN'S PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION 19 ARGUMENT BY MS. PACHECO: I

20 MS. PACHECO: I think the fundabental difference is the way we view what this case is. I admit, I'll be the first person to admit, this case is probably the most convoluted procedural case ~'ve ever seen. Petitioners have become Respondents; t~ey've released each other; they've sat in depositio~s I

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER I

1 representing the other. It is a bizarre easel. I don't !

2 understand what they're doing, but frankly, t~ey, as Ms. Cantrell told me when I called her the day I got her !

!

!

4 nonsuit, she doesn't have to tell; and she's right. But what she misses is when she chooses to nonsui t 1 my client who'd been a defendant for a year and a half, had substantial money invested in the education of this Court and rulings obtained by this Court, had the absolute right to, himself, institute a lawsuit and proceed on that lawsuit to resolve the very issues they have raised and vilified him for. And that's exactly what -- you don't have to worry about the nonsuit.

14 When we filed days after she filed her nonsuit, we filed a cross and counter-petition. We affirmatively stated in there, and it's her exhibit, that because of the convoluted procedural nature of this case, we drafted it just like an original petition. And in fact, it shows Paragraph 1 as discovery letter level just like an original petition. And Footnote, 2 says, "Due to the confusing nature of this case's Jrocedural background, Mr. Weiner requests that service lbe affected I

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 newly-instituted lawsuit which that jurisdiction reattaches to this court on the moment the pleading is filed. And that is confirmed. In fact, when I was looking at this issue, and it is an odd issue - because what Ms. Cantrell focuses on her nonsuit. If she filed a nonsuit and then when we came down and got affirmative relief against Daniel, which is what happened in Greenberg, I would be saying she's absolutely right. We can't do that. All we did was reinstitute a lawsuit in the same cause number which Local Rule 2.2 tells us this is where this lawsuit goes.

12 Once you choose the number, it goes back to that original number.

14 We instituted a new lawsuit and immediately attempted to effectuate service.

16 When they evaded it nine times, this Court entered a substituted service order. This Court had absolutely every right to do that because every court has jurisdiction to enter a substituted order when a party is evading service. And that's what's happened in this case. That's all that's happened.

22 In Greenberg, after the party dismissed, the Court entered rulings. Well they can't enter rulings because I would agree in that case the parties aren't before this Court. The only thing that's

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 happened in this case since the readmission of this pleading is the attempt to join her clients, and we have now done that through substituted service. We haven't gotten to any affirmative rulings. They will be a party.

13 The supreme court in Zachary versus Lane in 2001 looked at the issue of who is a party. Do you have to be served to be a party or are you a party the second the pleading is filed? The supreme court looked at the case and said, "No. You are a party the second the case is filed." They were rejoined as a party 'cause we re-served her which I agree - if they claim they want a party - so be it. But we didn't skip the step of personal service. We did that; albeit, by substituted because they evaded.

23 But in that case, the supreme court said they are party the second the pleading is filed. Now you can't render judgment against that person unless we

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 go and proceed and join, but the definition of "party" is not when they have just been joined; in fact, what they said: 4 "The supreme court does not hold that a named defendant is not a party until that person is served except to waive service." 7 Well it's true the party may be served except to waive service otherwise a PR in order for a judgment to be rendered against them; nevertheless, it doesn't make them not a party in the lawsuit in which they have been specifically named.

12 Another case out of Corpus Christi, Christus Health versus Ragsdale, also a 2001 case, looked at the issue of can you then add a party to a suit later and it relates back to the original filing?

16 And they say, "Yes,•• even if that party tried to run off to another court and file a lawsuit. And that's Corpus Christi -- Christus Health versus Ragsdale.

19 So, my point is we're sort of avoiding the real issue here.

21 She does not like that when she was playing her procedural games, we got a sense that this wasn't going away and reinstituted the very same affirmative claims in this suit that they have been bringing this whole time, construction of the trust.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 So, I just disagree wholly that her cases apply. I disagree wholly this Court doesn't have jurisdiction. It's a statute of probate court. As you know very well, it's concurrent jurisdiction in all trust cases. This is a trust case that had been pending here.

7 And on March 24th, before she went to the district court, we initiated, at a minimum, what would be deemed a new lawsuit.

10 I have a few exhibits to put in the record. They are mainly attached to my pleading so I didn't make extra copies for Counsel, but I do feel like I want to go the extra step and have them in the record.

14 I'm offering as Exhibit A, and I apologize, I'm just trying to use the same exhibit numbers I did to my response. The Original Petition For Termination of Trust originally filed by Katherine Warren as Co-Trustee of Daniel's trust on October 2nd, 2013 as Respondent's for Mr. Weiner's Exhibit A. And I'll represent to Counsel these are duplicates of the exhibits attached.

22 MS. CANTRELL: That's fine.

23 THE COURT: The Original Petition For Termination of Trust is -- well do you have an objection?

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 MS. CANTRELL: No objection.

2 THE COURT: Is admitted as Respondent's Exhibit A.

4 MS. PACHECO: Thank you, Your Honor. We offer as Exhibit B, the First Amended Original Petition For Modification of Trust and Response To Plea and Abatement and Plea To The Jurisdiction filed by Katherine Warren as next friend of Daniel Weiner on November 4th of 2013, Your Honor.

10 MS. CANTRELL: My only objection, I guess, other than those two, would be that those are -- are those in Cause 425.576?

13 THE COURT: Yes.

14 MS. CANTRELL: Which is a case that's been dismissed now. So, that's -- it was dismissed back in November of 2013. They're somewhat irrelevant, but I presume it's harmless to admit them at this point.

18 MS. PACHECO: I just want to show the procedural and history of this particular Mr. Weiner's claims, Daniel Weiner's claims as it relates to this Court, Your Honor.

22 THE COURT: The first amended -- so are you -- 24 MS. CANTRELL: I'm okay with that.

25 THE COURT: withdrawing your objection?

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 MS. CANTRELL: No, I have no objection.

2 THE COURT: Okay. The First Amended Original Petition for Modification of Trust and Response To Plea and Abatement and Plea To The Jurisdiction is admitted as Respondent's Exhbit B.

6 MS. PACHECO: Thank you, Your Honor.

7 And I offer as Exhibit C, the Original Petition In Intervention filed by Daniel Steven Weiner on April 22nd of 2014 in Cause Number 425.577.

10 MS. CANTRELL: No objection.

11 THE COURT: The Original Petition In Intervention is admitted as Respondent's Exhibit C.

13 MS. PACHECO: Thank you, Your Honor.

14 I offer as Andy Weiner's Cross-Claims Against Katherine Warren Formerly Known As Katherine Weiner filed on July 2nd, 2014, Your Honor.

17 MS. CANTRELL: No objection.

18 THE COURT: The Andy Weiner's Cross-Claims Against Katherine Warren, F/K/A Katherine Weiner is admitted as Respondent's Exhibit D.

21 MS. PACHECO: Your Honor, I offer into first supplement -- First Supplement To Original Answer filed by Mr. Weiner on July 8, 2014.

24 MS. CANTRELL: No objection.

25 THE COURT: The First Supplement To

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 Original Answer is admitted as Respondent's Exhibit E.

2 MS. PACHECO: Thank you, Your Honor.

3 I offer as our Exhibit G, the Rules of The Probate Courts of Harris County, Texas approved by the supreme court and entered as an order of this court on March 8 of, 2007.

7 MS. CANTRELL: May I see those? Which rules are those?

9 MS. PACHECO: Yes.

10 MS. CANTRELL: Oh, the probate courts.

11 Good. Thank you.

12 THE COURT: The Rules of The Probate Courts of Harris County, Texas, are entered as Respondent's Exhibit G.

15 MS. PACHECO: Thank you. And I was going to offer so I affirm the offering of Andy Weiner's Counter-Claim and Cross-Petition which I believe is already Plaintiff's Exhibit 3. I believe that's already admitted into evidence; is that right, Your Honor?

20 THE COURT: It is.

21 MS. PACHECO: Thank you.

22 And finally as Exhibit H, I offer Plaintiff's Original Petition of David W. Warren, Daniel W. Warren and Katherine Warren as next friend of MHW, a minor. That was filed in the district courts of Harris

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 County and assigned to District Court Number 133 on April the 2nd of 2015.

3 MS. CANTRELL: No objection.

4 THE COURT: Okay. Plaintiff's Original Petition is admitted as Respondent's Exhbit H.

6 MS. PACHECO: And what those documents establish is the procedural history in this court including the severance because of Mr. Daniel Weiner's now-Daniel-Warren's intervention; but more specifically, that Mr. Weiner's counter and cross-petition which fell to constitute the original pleading that was promptly served was filed before any attempt to initiate any jurisdiction, any other court which the supreme court has also said the first filing applies. And that would reinstitute this Court's jurisdiction.

16 Even if you believe that we couldn't rejoin her, even if you believed that there was no valid existing lawsuit as it relates to Daniel, it's irrelevant because we reinstituted a lawsuit on March 24th; we promptly served; service has been obtained.

21 And finally we ask the Court to take judicial notice of your order of substituted service.

23 THE COURT: It is so noted.

24 MS. PACHECO: Thank you, Your Honor.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 REBUTTAL ARGUMENT BY MS. CANTRELL: 2 MS. CANTRELL: May I? I have a couple of comments in rebuttal.

4 THE COURT: Sure.

5 MS. CANTRELL: The facts of this case are what happened in Greenberg versus Brookshire identically. There was a counter-claim, a brand new pleading into the case after the nonsuit, and that's in the Court's -- the supreme court said that that -- the nonsuit ended the case. It was over at that point.

11 There should be no more claims - whether they're hearings or not - there's no more orders. The case is over.

14 And so I also wanted to point out that in their responsive -- the response to our motion -- our plea to the jurisdiction which I'm not sure that you-all have because it was filed about 5:00 last night. Did you-all get that?

19 THE COURT: The response -- 20 MS. CANTRELL: Their response to our plea.

21 THE COURT: Yes, I got it right here.

22 They gave me this notebook which is their courtesy copy.

23 MS. CANTRELL: Okay. Could you please look for me on -- at Paragraph 33 and 36 of their response because I would like to correct the record on a

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 couple of misstatements in there about timing and dates which I think the records -- the documents we have admitted will speak for themselves.

4 Paragraph 33 says that "Further in his counter and cross-petition filed prior to the Court signing Daniel's request for dismissal" - that is not correct. The counter and cross-petition was filed after the Court signing Daniel's request for dismissal - the dates being March 24th for the counter and cross-petition and March 16 on signing the dismissal.

11 And that error is repeated in Paragraph 36 where it says, "In subsequent to Daniel's nonsuit but prior to the entry of dismissal, Mr. Weiner's cross and counter-petition was filed." That's the same error. It is incorrect on the dates. Daniel's nonsuit predated, and his dismissal predated, the cross or the counter and the cross-petition. so·, I would -- I'd 1 ike to correct the record on those two things.

19 THE COURT: Okay. Just quite simply: We view the pleading filed on March 24th by Andy Weiner whose counter and cross-petition, we view that as an original petition. I mean, I know it's titled, "Counter and Cross-Petition" but we view it as an original petition. And so 25 MS. CANTRELL: Your Honor, could we look

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 at the local rules, then, on the numbering, the case numbering, on original petitions that are in evidence?

3 THE COURT: Okay.

4 MS. CANTRELL: It says, "All matters relating to or appertaining to an estate or guardianship -- " 7 THE COURT: Where are you reading from?

8 MS. CANTRELL: The Rule 2.2, the one they cited in their response.

10 THE COURT: Okay.

11 MS. CANTRELL: "All matters relating or appertaining to an estate or guardianship," which this does not, "that has not been closed as provided in the Probate Court Code including proceedings upon trust created by decedent's will," which this is not -this is an inter vivos trust, "shall remain in such court subject to an order of transfer as with any case and shall retain the original docket number with an appropriate sub file." 20 So, if it's an original petition, it should have its own separate case number according to the way I read these rules.

23 "Each subsequent matter filed involving the same decedent or Proposed Ward," which this does not involve, "shall be filed in the original file under the

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 same docket number and in the same court as the original filing." 3 So, I do not see under these rules how they can file a brand new petition into a case that has been nonsuited. I don't dispute that they could file a brand new lawsuit and they're welcome to. They will -- they've already raised the construction issues in the district court case; so those are already before the district court case. So, it would be duplication if it reads the same way as their counter and cross-petition.

11 MS. PACHECO: Actually, they're part of an affirmative answer, and there is a plea to abate in the district court case saying this court has jurisdiction.

14 MS. CANTRELL: I have a copy of that pleading. Well you've got it in evidence.

16 THE COURT: Okay. So, if we view this as an original petition, does it need to go back to should it have gone through the process of being assigned to another probate court?

20 MS. PACHECO: I don't know the answer to that. That's never been my experience. My experience with the Clerk's Office in 20-plus years, if it relates to the exact same cause number or style of the original - it always goes back to that case. They get very upset when you start picking new courts which is

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 part of the reason you have assigned it back to the same court which is clearly intention of the local rules.

3 MS. CANTRELL: And, Your Honor, I have the Government Code Section 25.1034 which this Rule 2.2 refers to, and it does talk about the random assignments. And it says, "The county clerks will keep a separate docket for each court. The County Clerk shall assign and docket as random matters and proceedings filed in the statutory probate courts according to the following percentages: 11 "Probate Court Number 1 - 30 percent; Probate Court 2 - 30 percent; Probate Court 3 - 20 percent; Probate Court 4 - 20 percent." 14 So, this is the random assignments. You may be familiar with this.

16 MS. PACHECO: That's a Clerk's Office function. If the Court wants to tell them to reassign it a new cause number, it doesn't change the filing it attaches to the courts - it's just a matter who hears it. But I've never seen a case where the case was already before a court that even if it was assigned to another court, it wasn't immediately transferred back under administrative transfer powers.

24 MS. CANTRELL: I have no problem -- 25 THE COURT: We can go through that -- we

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 can go through the motions of -- I can send the file back to the Clerk's Office for random assignment. But then whatever judge in Harris County gets it is going to see that we've got two other related cases, and they're going to send it back.

6 MS. CANTRELL: Your Honor, I would submit that they need to file a brand new lawsuit in starting all over.

9 MS. PACHECO: Of course, she does because she wants to try and get to her district court. This is a game. It is a vile game that has been played for a year and a half. It is offensive.

13 MS. CANTRELL: It is not a game; it is called following the rules.

15 MS. PACHECO: No, this isn't following the rules. This isn't the spirit of the Code of Professional Conduct. This isn't the spirit of the Rules of Professional Procedure. There is nothing appropriate about the actions that have been taken in this case.

21 MS. CANTRELL: There is 22 MS. PACHECO: I'm going to be quiet because I'm about to be unprofessional myself.

24 THE COURT: You know, I'm just not going to do anything about -- I view this as an original

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 petition. I don't care what it's called. And I'm not going to do anything about the sending it to the Clerk for random reassignment. I really don't -- I've never had this issue come up, and I'm just not going to do anything about it. And, I mean, and you can, you can appeal these decisions, of course. And so, I mean, that's what I suggest you do. But I view this as an original petition and that's just, that's just how I reasonably view it. And so I could be wrong about that but -- 11 MS. CANTRELL: Your Honor, there is a case by Justice Bland who is the same one that wrote the opinion in Michael's case -- 14 MS. PACHECO: Your Honor, I have a proposed order on the dismissal of the plea and the jurisdiction. I would ask that the Court enter it.

17 THE COURT: Well what were you saying?

18 MS. CANTRELL: The Court says this: 19 "After the trial Court lost plenary power," this involved a nonsuit, and your plenary power expired 30 days after the March 16th dismissal under Section 329(b) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, "after the Court, trial Court, lost plenary power it granted a plea to the jurisdiction. Because the trial Court had lost its plenary power, the Trial Court's order granting

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 the plea is void. An appellate Court should declare post-plenary power orders void." 3 And that is my position that any order in this case past April 16th, according to every case I have read, is void.

6 In this case, now they can file a brand new lawsuit, but the jurisdiction in this case is over starting with the nonsuit and 30 days thereafter when the plenary power expires. That is just according to the rules.

11 You can call it gamesmanship as Ms. Pacheco likes to do frequently, but it's playing by the rules. It is to prevent this exact same thing happening; otherwise, the right to nonsuit would be illusory. You could never nonsuit because someone could simply counter-claim you right back in which is exactly what happened. And this case is -- this would be not only void but it would be an interlocutory order and that does not qualify for permissive appeal because it's not a situation where there's substantial ground for disagreement.

22 REBUTTAL ARGUMENT BY MS. PACHECO: 23 MS. PACHECO: One, that case doesn't apply under this circumstance; and two, again Counsel completely ignores how the law does not approve of forum

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 shopping which is exactly what's happened in this case.

2 We obtained rulings on summary judgments. We did all that. She, again, incurred thousands and thousands of dollars of legal fees. And then she tried to get out of this court 'cause she didn't like where it was going and go find a different shore. That is flat-out forum shopping. This isn't even a different county - it's a different court; different floor; different court; same courthouse.

10 So, I don't see how any of that is appropriate or relevant to the issues in this case.

12 MS. CANTRELL: The plaintiff has a perfect right to choose his forum that's why Wyatt versus Shaw Plumbing is the case that Michael's case went up on appeal over.

16 MS. PACHECO: And Mr. Weiner has done that when they chose to take their ball and try and get different rulings at a different court. And now he is the Plaintiff, and he has chosen the Harris County Probate Courts, wherever he be assigned, including the judge who is very educated on this process.

22 MS. CANTRELL: Your Honor, I have an order dismissing Andy Weiner's counter and cross-claim and dismissing this entire case.

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 COURT'S RULING 2 THE COURT: Okay. I'm not going to dismiss it. And I could be wrong on when I sign this order on the plea to the jurisdiction. I guess, I'm just -- I'm frustrated because at the beginning of this case then Andy Weiner wanted it moved over to the family court. And so we -- when I looked at the case, I thought, you know, clearly this is within the language of the divorce decree, right? The divorce decree. And I know I'm going back years, but the divorce decree, if I remember right, said that they were to be trustees and that they weren't supposed to seek the removal of either of them. I don't remember exactly what the language was. So, I thought, well, you know, a judge over there is one who signed that order or that decree, and they need to go back and determine if this is, in fact, a violation of that decree. I was wrong about that. So, that came back to us.

19 And now the Warren children are wanting to move their cases to district court. And it's, in my view, it doesn't serve the interest of either party or either -- or any of the parties to be jumping around courts especially you guys have both invested a lot of time, energy, and money in this court. And it feels like forum shopping to me. And they've invested a lot

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 of effort and money and time when they, over the course of this case, and I can't just dismiss it. And I could be wrong. I mean, I could be wrong that my plenary powers expire 30 days after I sign the order dismissing the case. But that's not the way I view it. I view this as, in essence, an original petition being filed.

7 And maybe it should have been funneled through the Clerk's Office and assigned to a different court. I don't know. But I'm not going to dismiss it over something procedural like that.

11 So, you know, I'm going to have to just do what I think is right and let the appeals court deal with it. So, that's all I know how to do.

14 MS. CANTRELL: Yes, Your Honor.

15 MS. PACHECO: Your Honor, while we're here, may I make one last request that has nothing to do with this motion. And you raised this at the last hearing.

19 Ms. Cantrell has the propensity to contact your staff and email them and elicit comments and then quote them, now in mandamuses and other proceedings. I recognize it's your prerogative to allow us to do that, and you've been very accommodating to move things along.

24 Given what she has contorted some of those statements to be, I would request that if any requests should be made,

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 they should be made in open hearings with a record so it's not this back and forth convoluted process and then attempt to put an email in the record.

4 I recognize -- I'm a believer in cooperative courts, and y'all have always been cooperative, but I feel that now she tries to get answers and then use those in future proceedings and it's just improper.

9 She has suggested court staff has given her legal advice which hasn't -- I'm not staying it happened, but I just think it needs to stop. I mean, to the extent we request a hearing, the request should be I want to set a hearing on ''X" date - not the going back and forth because I feel like we have crossed the line, or perhaps all sides, in this case. And because of the nature of this case, I would ask that you direct all parties to stop emailing anything substantive to the Court and put in a pleading.

19 THE COURT: Okay.

20 MS. CANTRELL: I thought you did that already, Your Honor, at the last hearing. You did ask us -- well, to put everything in emails so now the request I'm hearing is not to even email?

24 THE COURT: Well, I mean, the thing is, this is the limits -- I mean, we're bound by judicial

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER ethics, and I'll say this. What I said before is we've kind of been -- we've done our best to abide by those ethical requirements, but I will say that in estate and guardianship matters where we're dealing with a lot of pro se litigants then quite often we will give advice that borders on, you know, it may go beyond just procedural, and it may be even bordering on legal advice. And we do that because we view that sometimes it's just, it's expeditious for the protection of a Ward especially, okay. We don't want anything bad to happen to our Wards, and we view that as our highest priority.

12 This case is totally different, okay. And the only thing that you guys, as you know, are permitted to visit with our staff about is procedural issues. And so beyond that, we shouldn't receive any communication if it has nothing if it goes beyond procedural, we are not permitted to receive it.

18 MS. CANTRELL: Your Honor, I understand that, and I think that was clear at the last hearing.

20 I'm not sure why it's coming up again.

21 MS. PACHECO: It's coming up because now she's quoting emails in mandamuses. And what I've come to realize is you call it procedural issues, but technically, what she should be communicating with the Court about is setting hearings. I mean, she can't get

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 her procedural questions answered by this Court either.

2 If she wants to know what the Court wants to do on a particular issue, I'm always happy to come down here and have a status conference with a record, and we can deal with it in the proper way.

6 166(g), under the Rules of Procedure, is intended to address procedural issues on notice and pleading. But what has happened in this case is she's sort of contorting those communications into other things; and frankly, I don't like having arguments with Counsel where, you know, colleagues or anybody associated with the Court are copied on those. It just, you know -- and there's embedded comments in there.

14 I understand -- I'm not saying it should be in every case, and I certainly, I said this last time and I'm going to say it on the record - I am not implying this Court has done anything other than be excessively cooperative to both sides. But Ms. Cantrell then contorts those into advice; and, you know, it's not even with you, but your staff is an arm of you and it can be deemed as ex parte communication or she's trying to argue the Court told her to do something. It's improper. And she's not seeing the limits of those, and yet again, when we're setting things, there's a lot of back and forth that included Judge Comstock. I just

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 think this needs to stop because it's an unusual case with unusual parties and unusual counsel and perhaps this is one where other than asking for setting a hearing, everything else needs to be on the record to avoid this happening again.

6 THE COURT: Okay.

7 MS. CANTRELL: These emails with the order on the severance, I'm not sure who initiated those but it certainly wasn't me. I mean, but we have discussed this over and over at the last hearing.

11 THE COURT: Well no, no because the Court can discuss procedural issues with lawyers, but when but that is such a -- you know, when you talk about procedure versus giving legal advice, I think there is a lot of overlap there. And here, you know, you guys are seasoned lawyers. You guys know the procedures.

17 There's no reason why you need to be visiting with us over -- about anything other than scheduling hearings.

19 So, I think it's very fair that Ms. Pacheco request that we limit our all-communication.

21 MS. CANTRELL: Yes, Your Honor, I agree.

22 We did that already. I'm not sure what it is that made her bring it up again.

24 THE COURT: I don't even see these emails.

25 I don't know. But if there is something that goes

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 beyond the bounds of simply setting hearings then -- 2 MS. PACHECO: There's a discussion of pulling down certain hearings, we're going to go in a different direction. All of that is beyond what should be communicated in emails. They're not part of the Court's record and yet she tries to admit them.

7 Again, I've never made this request, but I've never had a case quite like this. And I'm very appreciative that we can approach you on any normal case and ask reasonable questions with Counsel copied. This is just not that case.

12 MS. CANTRELL: But Counsel was copied on those emails and it was initiated -- 14 MS. PACHECO: But it's a rally back and forth. It's an ex parte communication and then Counsel is forced to respond and your staff is then watching this volley back and what do you do with that thing? Do you show it to you? Does it go in the Court's file?

19 THE COURT: It doesn't get to me, but it does in a sense because if it gets to anyone of our staff it gets to me. I mean, it's deemed that I have viewed it, okay. And so because they are an extension.

23 The staff is, of course, an extension of me. 24 And, you know, the truth is, I view those emails as ex parte even though it copies Counsel. It's

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 still an ex parte communication, and this is why: Because it does force the other side to have to respond.

3 It does bring the other side into like almost a secret hearing in a way. I mean, you're putting information out there or questions out there and forcing the other party in to respond. I don't know what else to say except that if someone makes a request that we limit receipts of emails and communication by email and phone to scheduling hearings. I think that's a reasonable request and especially because you guys can call up any time and set a hearing, and you'll have it, you know. I mean, it's not like I'm not here, you know.

13 MS. CANTRELL: I'm just confused about what it is Ms. Pacheco is concerned about if it was 15 MS. PACHECO: I don't want to have a discussion of the substance of all emails. I think everybody's aware, probably not you because you haven't seen them, of what's been going on. I just think it needs to stop.

20 And again, she, just like the offering of this email today, some emails that are going to happen to show up in the mandamus - it doesn't matter the substance. I'm not complaining anything's improper at this point - I just think in the future on an on-going basis, to avoid future issues, that I would ask the

HIPOLITA G. LOPEZ, CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER

1 Court to direct all counsel, us included, to limit our contacts with this Court to requesting hearings which I think is the conservative and appropriate means to communicate with the Court because I do want a record any time Ms. Cantrell communicates with this Court.

6 THE COURT: Okay. So, just I guess going forward, all communication needs to be with setting hearings only and 9 MS. CANTRELL: I agree, Your Honor. I think you made that clear to us last time.

11 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Pacheco, do you want to sign this?

13 MS. PACHECO: I apologize. Thank you.

14 THE COURT: Thank you.

15 MS. PACHECO: May I be dismissed?

16 THE COURT: Yes.

17 MS. PACHECO: Thank you.

PROBATE COURT 4 No. 425,576-401 IN RE: § IN THE PROBATE COURT § DANIEL STEVEN WEINER § NO. 4 § 1996 TRUST § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION Daniel Warren files this Plea to the Jurisdiction in response to Andy Weiner’s Counter and Cross-Petition.

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT 1. Daniel Warren asks the Court to dismiss Andy Weiner’s Counter and Cross-Petition because it was filed after Daniel Warren nonsuited all of his claims and the court lacks jurisdiction to rule on it under the holding of Greenberg v. Brookshire, 640 S.W.2d 870 (Tex. 1982).

BACKGROUND 2. Daniel Warren is the sole beneficiary of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was created on March 20, 1996 by Andy I. Weiner and Katherine R. Warren (formerly Katherine F. Weiner), who are also the co-trustees.

3. On April 22, 2014, Daniel Warren filed a Plea in Intervention in Cause No. 425,577, In Re David Abraham Weiner 1994 Trust, suing Andy Weiner for breach of fiduciary duty for borrowing substantially all of the Trust assets for Andy Weiner’s own personal use, commingling the Trust assets with Andy’s personal funds, failing to prudently invest the Trust assets, and failing to render an accounting upon Daniel’s request.

4. On July 8, 2014 Andy Weiner asserted various affirmative defenses, including that his

EXHIBIT exhibitsticker.com

TAB F “actions were justified, excused and/or authorized by the terms of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust” and “Ambiguity.” [See attached Exhibit A] 5. On October 24, 2014 Andy Weiner filed a Second Amended Cross-Claim against Katherine Warren in Cause No. 425,577 seeking to hold Katherine responsible for any damages, actions, inactions, and violations of the Trust Agreement, breach of her fiduciary duty, removal, tortious interference with Andy’s ability to properly administer the Trust, and reimbursement of Andy’s legal fees in defending the lawsuit.

6. On November 17, 2014 the Court severed Daniel Warren’s suit against Andy Weiner into a separate Cause No. 425,576-401, and ordered 24 docket entries to be moved to the new case. [See attached Exhibit B] The Cross-Claim was not moved and remained in Cause No. 425,577.

7. Pursuant to the November 17, 2014 Order, Daniel Warren filed an Original Petition in this Cause No. 425,576-401 on December 1, 2014 asserting the same claims as in his Plea in Intervention filed in Cause No. 425,577. The Original Petition named Andy Weiner and Katherine Warren as parties, but expressly stated that his Notice of Nonsuit against Ms. Warren applies to this Cause No. 425,576-401.

8. On February 10, 2015, Daniel challenged Andy Weiner’s Answer and Supplemental Answer by Special Exceptions. After a hearing on the matter on February 17, 2015, the Court ordered Andy Weiner to replead nine (9) of his thirteen (13) defenses by March 17, 2015.

Andy Weiner failed to do so. 9. On March 10, 2015, Daniel Warren nonsuited all of his claims in this case and on March 16, 2015 the Court dismissed Daniel Warren without prejudice. [See attached Exhibit C].

10. On March 24, 2015, two weeks after Daniel Warren nonsuited his claims, Andy Weiner

filed a Counter and Cross-Petition against Daniel and Katherine, attempting to join them as parties to the nonsuited case.

ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES 11. Daniel Warren asks the Court to dismiss Andy Weiner’s Counter and Cross-Petition for the following reasons: 12. Daniel Warren had an absolute right to nonsuit all of his claims on March 10, 2015 and be dismissed from the case as long as it does not “prejudice the right of an adverse party to be heard on a pending claim for affirmative relief.” (emphasis added) [TRCP 96, 162].

13. The right to nonsuit should be liberally construed in favor of the nonsuiting plaintiff. [Greenberg v. Brookshire, 640 S.W.2d 870, 872 (Tex. 1982)].

14. When the defendant has no pending claims for affirmative relief, the plaintiff’s nonsuit renders the merits of the underlying case moot and dismisses the entire case. A trial court may not rule on a counter or cross claim filed after a nonsuit. [Greenberg, 640 S.W.2d at 871].

15. Andy Weiner’s failure to replead the nine (9) affirmative defenses as ordered by the Court left Andy’s only defenses as 1) that Daniel is not entitled to attorney fees, 2) Daniel lacks standing, legal authority or capacity to sue, 3) Daniel’s claims are barred by the statute of limitations, and 4) Daniel’s claims are barred because he has no legal or equitable basis for recovery. [See attached Exhibit D]. These are not claims for affirmative relief under TRCP 162.

16. Since Daniel has dropped all his claims, both the claims and the defenses in this case are moot. A trial court has no jurisdiction to rule on a moot controversy. [Klein v. Hernandez,

315 S.W.3d 1, 3 (Tex. 2010; Devon Energy Prod. Co., L.P. v. KCS Res., LLC, 450 S.W.3d 203, 209 (Tex. App.─Houston [14th Dist.] 2014, pet. pending on other grounds)].

17. In Greenberg v. Brookshire, the wife filed a counterclaim against her husband two days after he nonsuited his divorce case against her. Over the husband’s objections, the trial judge held a hearing on the wife’s counterclaim and entered an order pertaining to it. In a proceeding for mandamus relief, the Texas Supreme Court held that the trial judge should not have proceeded with the hearing on the counterclaim and directed him to withdraw his order pertaining to it. [Greenberg v. Brookshire, 640 S.W.2d 870 (Tex. 1982)].

18. When a plaintiff files a nonsuit, the trial court loses jurisdiction of the entire case, except jurisdiction to render the order of dismissal without prejudice, which this Court has done. [Ault v. Mulanax, 724 S.W.2d 824, 828 (Tex. App.─Texarkana 1986, orig. proceeding), also citing Greenberg v. Brookshire].

19. Similarly, in Ault v. Mulanax the defendant filed a cross-action against the plaintiff after she had nonsuited all of her claims. The appeal court held that the trial court lost jurisdiction of the entire case immediately upon the filing of the plaintiff’s nonsuit, except jurisdiction to render the order of dismissal without prejudice. [Ault, 724 S.W.2d at 829].

20. Just as in Greenberg and Ault, when Daniel nonsuited this case, there were no pending claims for affirmative relief filed by any party. As such, the trial court’s only recourse is to dismiss the entire case without prejudice, as the Court has done.

21. Andy Weiner’s cross-claims against Katherine Warren have no impact on this case.

They were filed only in Cause No. 425,577, a separate cause of action. Nor do Andy Weiner’s Counter and Cross-Petition have any impact on this case because they were filed

after Daniel nonsuited his entire case. According, Daniel had an absolute right to dismiss his entire case under the holding of Greenberg v. Brookshire.

22. A trial court cannot deny a litigant's right to nonsuit his case when affirmative relief is not sought by an adverse party before the nonsuit. [Greenberg v. Brookshire, 640 S.W.2d 870, 871 (Tex. 1982)]. Andy Weiner had no claims for affirmative relief pending at the time of Daniel’s nonsuit.

23. Accordingly, the Court should dismiss this entire case and Andy Weiner’s Counter and Cross-Petition as it was filed after Daniel nonsuited his entire case.

RELIEF REQUESTED 24. For these reasons, Daniel Warren asks the Court to set this Plea to the Jurisdiction for a hearing and sign an order dismissing Andy Weiner’s Counter and Cross-Petition and this entire case for lack of jurisdiction.

NO_ 425,577 INRE: § IN PROBATE COURT § DAVID ABRAHAM WEINER § NUMBER FOUR (4) OF § 1994 TRUST § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS ANSWER TO PETITION FOR TERMINATION OF TRUST TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Andy Weiner ("Mr. Weiner"), co-trustee of the David Abraham Weiner 1994 Tmst ("Tmst''), files this Answer to Original Petition for Termination of Tmst filed by Katherine F.

Warren ("Ms. Warren") and David A Weiner kin/a David W. Wro-ren ("David"), and in suppOlt thereof respectfully shows the following: I.

Overview 1. Tho Original Petition for Termination of Trust ("Petition") is just anothe1· sad stage in Ms. Warren's systematic plan to exclude Mr. Weiner from his son's life. Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are currently patties to a family coUlt proceeding that arises from Ms. Warren's failure to comply with the terms of the Trust and a Judgment entered by the Family Court in their divorce, pending in the 309111 Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.

2. The Petition filed Jn this Comt seeks to gain complete control of funds gifted by Mr. Weiner's parents to the Trust established by both Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren prior to their divorce. It cites no credible or legal basis to remove Mr. Weiner and/or terminate the Trust by distributing said funds either free of trust to David or into a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act account only Ms. Wan·en would control. And, while Mr. Weiner has historically attempted to accommodate Ms. Warren's various requests, he is unwilling to risk funds needed for David's

future education or sanction her ignoring provisions of a Judgment entered by the Family Court in their divorce.

3. Neither Mr. Weiner nor the named successor trustee is disqualified to serve as a trustee of the Trust. Mr. Weiner has never mishandled the Trust, has never harbored any hostility towai"ds David and has always acted in a prudent ffit\lll\er- even under the most difficult of circumstances created by Ms. Warren. Mr. Weiner has done so because he recognizes that David and the T!.·ust both need protection.

II.

B@ckgro!lnd 4. On December 13, 1994, Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren established the Tmst for the benefit of their then-minor son, David. The irrevocable trust agreement provides that David is the primaq beneficiary and Mr. Weiner and Ms. Wan·en are the original co-trustees. In the event they are not able to serve, the tmst agreement provides that Bayle Weiner Dt-ubel shall serve as successor trustee.

5. Mr. Weiner's parents, David's grandparents, funded the Trust with the desire to provide for their grandson's education, 6. After David's grandparents' generous gifts, Ms. Warren systematically excluded Mr. Wehter and his family from David and his siblings' lives. By way of example, Ms. Warren facilitated in David changing his last name from his father's (Weiner) to a name with no family .. significance shortly after David's eighteenth birthday. And, Ms. Wan·en routinely belittled Mr. Weiner, his mother and his sisters in front of his sons, includh1g David.

7. Ms. Wanen filed for. divorce and, pursuant to an Agreed Decree of Divorce ("Divorce Decree") entered into by the 309th Judicial District Court of Hat1'ls County, Texas in Cause No.

2011-01040 (the "Family Court Proceeding"), Mr. Weiner and Ms. Wanen were divorced on March 29, 2012. See Exhibit C to Ms. Wanen's Petition.

8. 'rhe Divorce Decree addresses the Trust at issue in this case. Specifically, the Divorce Decree provides: l'f iS ORDERED lhnt lhe following children's lruols are h•!d In lno'voo~ble lrusl~. which sh~ll conllnue &$ wrlllen, and lhal each partY wlllclaxa any and all ·necessary slep~ to provide full r.<rlrusloa !JWner~hlp and control of eP<'h suo.h acoou~l Including tho pl~clng of such ae<Jounls' In a dsposll. ,and ly!Jhdrawal agreement requlrlng both co-ltO$Ioe~ to dlsburae funds; aleo knowp a~ an "and" a<;counl: ( 1.

9. Subsequent to the parties' divorce, Ms. Warren has continued her eff011s to alienate their children and has failed to comply with the terms of the Divorce Decree. For example, Ms. Warren has refused to provide a simple invoice to confirm an alleged significant tuition payment for David, who started his- fi·eshrnan year at Rice University this fall. Instead, she acknowledges in her affidavit that she wired trust funds without Mr. Weiner's required permission and consent.

10. The Petition seeks an order from this Cotu't to either distribute the Trust funds to David free of trust or, alternatively, to awm·d Ms. Wan·en sole and exclusive control over a new account (a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act account created for David's benefit), even though the Trust agreement and the Divorce Decree provide otherwise.

SUPPLEMENTAL PRAYER 11. In addition to the relief sought in Mr. Weiner’s Original Answer to Petition to Terminate Trust, Mr. Weiner prays that Petitioner David W. Warren f/k/a David A. Weiner takes nothing by his Second Amended Original Petition and Intervenor Daniel Steven Weiner likewise takes nothing by his Original Petition in Intervention, and for such other and further relief as to which he may show himself justly entitled to receive.

PROBATE COURT 4 NO. 425,576-401 IN RE: § IN PROBATE COURT § DANIEL STEVEN WEINER § NUMBER FOUR (4) OF § 1996 TRUST § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS ANDY WEINER’S RESPONSE TO PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Andy Weiner (“Mr. Weiner”), as co-trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust, files his Response to Plea to the Jurisdiction filed by Daniel Warren f/k/a Daniel Steven Weiner (“Daniel”), and in support thereof, respectfully shows the following: I.

OVERVIEW 1. Notwithstanding Daniel’s assertions to the contrary, Mr. Weiner’s claims against Katherine Warren f/k/a Katherine Weiner (“Ms. Warren”) were properly on file when Daniel filed his nonsuit. But, regardless, Mr. Weiner has an absolute right to initiate a new lawsuit to resolve the construction and other issues pled in his Counter and Cross-Petition properly filed in the above-referenced proceeding in accordance with Local Rule 2.2. Therefore, this Court should retain the above-referenced lawsuit on its docket and deny Daniel’s Plea to the Jurisdiction.

II.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND 2. On March 20, 1996, Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren established the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust (the “Trust”) for the benefit of their then-minor son, Daniel. The irrevocable trust agreement provides that Daniel is the primary beneficiary and Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are

EXHIBIT exhibitsticker.com

TAB F-1 092865/000001 - 1495732v1 the original co-trustees. In the event they are not able to serve, the trust agreement provides that Bayle Weiner Drubel shall serve as successor trustee.

3. Mr. Weiner’s parents, Daniel’s grandparents, primarily funded the Trust with the desire to provide for Daniel’s education.

4. After Daniel’s grandparents’ generous gifts, Ms. Warren systematically excluded Mr. Weiner and his family from Daniel’s life, as well as the lives of his brothers, David and Michael.

By way of example, Ms. Warren likely facilitated the process of Daniel changing his last name from his father’s (Weiner) to a name with no family significance on his eighteenth birthday.

And, in 2011, Ms. Warren deceitfully made ulterior plans to celebrate Daniel’s birthday to purposefully exclude Mr. Weiner. Further, Ms. Warren routinely belittled Mr. Weiner, his mother and his sisters in front of his sons.

5. On January 6, 2011, Ms. Warren filed for divorce from Mr. Weiner. Pursuant to an Agreed Decree of Divorce (“Divorce Decree”) entered into by the 309th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas in Cause No. 2011-01040 (the “Family Court Proceeding” or “Family Court”), Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren were divorced on March 29, 2012.

6. Subsequent to the parties’ divorce, Ms. Warren has continued her efforts to alienate their children and has failed to comply with the terms of the Divorce Decree.

7. On September 30, 2013, Ms. Warren, as co-trustee of the Trust, filed a lawsuit1 against Mr. Weiner, seeking an order from this Court to terminate the Trust and for the Trust funds to be distributed to a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act account created for Daniel’s benefit over which Ms. Warren would have sole control, even though the Trust agreement and the Divorce Decree provide otherwise. See Original Petition, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference.

Cause No. 425,576; In re: Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust, In Probate Court No. 4 of Harris County, Texas.

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 8. On October 23, 2013, Mr. Weiner filed a Plea to the Jurisdiction in Cause No. 425576, alleging that the District Court had jurisdiction over the claims brought by Daniel because they related to the Family Court Proceeding.

9. On November 4, 2013, Ms. Warren, as next friend of Daniel, filed a First Amended Original Petition in Cause No. 425,576 in which she requests for the Trust to be modified to allow Daniel to become his own trustee upon reaching the age of 18. See First Amended Petition, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit B and incorporated by this reference.

10. On November 21, 2013, the Probate Court granted Mr. Weiner’s Plea to the Jurisdiction in Cause No. 425576.

11. On April 22, 2014, Daniel filed an Original Petition in Intervention in his older brother David Weiner’s proceeding against Mr. Weiner.2 See Original Petition in Intervention, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit C and incorporated by this reference.

12. On July 2, 2014, Mr. Weiner filed his Cross-Claims against Ms. Warren in Cause No. 425,577 (where Daniel was an Intervenor), seeking to hold Ms. Warren equally responsible for (1) all actions and alleged inactions of the trustees, (2) all claimed damages and relief sought by David and Daniel, (3) all violations of the Trust agreements, including any scheme of collusion, (4) the preparation of an accounting, and (5) payment of one-half of Mr. Weiner’s attorneys’ fees and costs. See Cross-Claims, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit D and incorporated by this reference.

13. On July 8, 2014, Mr. Weiner filed his First Supplement to Original Answer, alleging, among other claims and defenses, that Daniel has no standing to intervene in David’s case. See

Cause No. 425,577, In re: David Abraham Weiner 1994 Trust, In Probate Court No. Four (4) of Harris County, Texas (“David’s Case”).

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 First Supplement to Original Answer, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit E and incorporated by this reference.

14. On July 15, 2014, Mr. Weiner filed his Motion for Partial Traditional Summary Judgment.

15. On August 7, 2014, Mr. Weiner filed his First Supplement to Cross-Claims against Ms. Warren, incorporating, by reference, the cross-claims and factual background supporting same contained within his Motion for Partial Traditional Summary Judgment.

16. Also on August 7, 2014, David and Daniel (as Intervenor in David’s Case) nonsuited their claims against Ms. Warren in Cause No. 425,577.

17. On September 8, 2014, pursuant to an order of this Court, Daniel filed a Motion to Sever in David’s Case.

18. On September 25, 2014, the Probate Court partially granted and partially denied Mr. Weiner’s Motion for Partial Traditional Summary Judgment finding that, pursuant to the terms of David’s Trust: (i) a trustee of the trust may retain, invest or reinvest in assets unproductive of interest and wasting assets, (ii) the diversification required under the Texas Trust Code and Texas common law, if any, does not apply to the Trust; (iii) Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren had a duty to jointly administer the Trust; (iv) in order to delegate her powers or duties to Movant as co-trustee of the Trust, Ms. Warren must have filed a written instrument with the records of the Trust; and (v) Mr. Weiner has no liability relating to his actions as trustee other than for acts and omissions found to be made with gross negligence, bad faith or fraud.

19. On October 24, 2014, Mr. Weiner filed his Second Amended Cross-Claims against Ms. Warren in Cause No. 425,577. See Second Amended Cross-Claims, attached hereto as Exhibit F and incorporated by this reference. As clearly expressed in the Second Amended Cross-Claims,

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 the cross-claims relate to the David Abraham Weiner 1994 Trust as well as Daniel’s Trust because, at the time of filing, Daniel’s intervention had not yet been severed into its own cause of action. Exhibit F ¶1.

20. On November 5, 2014, Daniel’s claims were severed into their own cause of action in the instant proceeding. An amended order, specifically identifying the pleadings and orders to be transferred into the new cause of action, was signed on November 17, 2014.3 21. On December 1, 2014, Daniel, pursuant to this Court’s order, filed his Original Petition in Cause No. 425,576-401.

22. On March 10, 2015, Daniel nonsuited his claims against Mr. Weiner.

23. On March 24, 2015, Mr. Weiner filed his Counter and Cross-Petition. See Counter and Cross-Petition, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit G and incorporated by this reference. In his Counter and Cross-Petition, Mr. Weiner (1) asked for the Court to construe the language of the Trust agreement; (2) alleged the following cross/counterclaims against Ms. Warren: breaches of fiduciary duty, reimbursement, removal as trustee, tortious interference with administration; and (3) requested the appointment of a corporate trustee. While no monetary claims were brought against Daniel, he was joined as a necessary party because he is the primary beneficiary of Daniel’s Trust. See TEX. PROP. CODE § 115.011.

24. On March 24, 2015, Mr. Weiner’s counsel took Ms. Warren’s court-ordered deposition.

Ms. Cantrell attended that deposition.

25. On April 2, 2015, Daniel, along with his brothers, David and Michael, jointly filed an Original Petition in the 133rd Judicial District of Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 2015-19320.

See Original Petition, attached hereto, without exhibits, as Exhibit H and incorporated by this

Due to an administrative error, Mr. Weiner’s Second Amended Cross-Claims were inadvertently left off of the list of documents to be transferred to Cause No. 425,576-401.

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 reference. When the three related cases currently pending in Probate Court No. 4 of Harris County, Texas (Cause No. 425,576-401, Cause No. 425,577, and Cause No. 425,578) are compared to the District Court case, the parties and issues are the same.

26. On April 17, 2015, Daniel filed a Plea to the Jurisdiction in this Court, alleging that Mr. Weiner’s cross-claims against Ms. Warren, pled in his Second Amended Cross Claims and his Counter and Cross-Petition, have “no impact on this case.” Motion at ¶21. As further discussed below, Daniel’s request for dismissal is misguided, as Mr. Weiner’s affirmative claims against Ms. Warren were properly in front of this Court prior to the nonsuit being filed. But, regardless, Mr. Weiner had every right – and did – initiate cross and counter claims. Even if considered a new lawsuit, the Counter and Cross-Petition is validly before this Court and Mr. Weiner has properly and diligently sought to serve Daniel, in compliance with the Texas Rule of Civil Procedure.

27. On May 4, 2015, Mr. Weiner filed a Plea in Abatement and, subject thereto, Original Answer in Cause No. 2015-19320.

III.

ARGUMENT & AUTHORITY 28. Daniel’s Plea to the Jurisdiction is his last ditch effort to have his case tried in the District Court, instead of this Court where he originally filed his claims against his father, Mr. Weiner.

29. Daniel’s nonsuit nullifies the controversy by and between Daniel and Mr. Weiner; it does not affect any pending claims for relief made by Mr. Weiner. In re Bennett, 960 S.W. 35, 38 (Tex. 1997). A party has an absolute right to nonsuit their own claims, but not someone else’s claims they are trying to avoid. Tex. Mut. Ins. Co. v. Ledbetter, 251 S.W.3d 31, 37 (Tex. 2008) (emphasis in original).

30. So long as the plaintiff pleads enough facts to affirmatively demonstrate the trial court

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 has jurisdiction over the suit, a court’s jurisdiction attaches upon filing a lawsuit. TEX. PROP.

CODE § 115.001; TDCJ v. Miller, 51 S.W.3d 583, 587 (Tex. 2001). And, unless the pleadings demonstrate the absence of jurisdiction, the court will assume it has jurisdiction over the case.

Peek v. Equip. Serv., 779 S.W.2d 802, 804 (Tex. 1989); Beacon Nat’l Ins. v. Montemayor, 86 S.W.3d 260, 266 (Tex. App.—Austin 2002, no pet.). In the event this Court “lost” its jurisdiction upon Daniel’s nonsuit – which Mr. Weiner vehemently disagrees – this Court gained jurisdiction upon the filing of Mr. Weiner’s Cross and Counter-Petition.

31. Rule 162 of Texas Rule of Civil Procedure governs dismissal and nonsuits. Rule 162 provides that “[a]ny dismissal pursuant to this rule shall not prejudice the right of an adverse party to be heard on a pending claim for affirmative relief.” TEX. R. CIV. P. 162. A claim for affirmative relief is one “on which the claimant could recover compensation or relief even if the plaintiff abandons his cause of action.” Univ. of Tex. Med. Branch at Galveston v. Est. of Blackmon ex rel. Shultz, 195 S.W.3d 98, 101 (Tex. 2006); BHP Petroleum Co., Inc. v. Millard, 800 S.W.2d 838, 841 (Tex. 1990).

32. Daniel falsely asserts that Mr. Weiner had no affirmative claims for relief pending at the time of Daniel’s nonsuit. At the time of Daniel’s nonsuit, Mr. Weiner had the following cross- claims, alleged in his Second Amended Cross-Claims, against Ms. Warren pending: (1) contribution, (2) breaches of fiduciary duty, (3) removal of trustee, (4) tortious interference with administration, and (5) attorneys’ fees and costs. See Exhibit F. These are claims for affirmative relief under Rule 162 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. TEX. R. CIV. P. 162; BHP Pet. Co. v. Millard, 800 S.W.2d 838, 840-41 (Tex. 1990) (defendant’s request for declaratory judgment if it seeks resolution of continuing issues); Leon Springs Gas Co. v. Restaurant Equip. Leasing Co., 961 S.W.2d 574, 578 (Tex. App—San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Ulloa v. Davila, 860 S.W.2d 202,

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1993, no writ) (counterclaim did more than resist plaintiff’s suit).

These are independent claims for affirmative relief, not merely derivative claims. In re Estate of Kidd, 812 S.W.2d 356, 359 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 1991, writ denied).

33. Further, in his Counter and Cross-Petition, filed prior to this Court signing Daniel’s request for dismissal, Mr. Weiner alleged the following claims: (1) construction of the Trust Agreement, (2) breach of fiduciary duty, (3) reimbursement, (4) removal as trustee, (5) tortious interference with administration, and (6) petition to modify trust and request for appointment of a corporate trustee. See Exhibit G.

34. Daniel relies upon Greenberg v. Brookshire and Ault v. Mulanex in support of his position that this lawsuit should be dismissed, despite Mr. Weiner’s valid pending claims.

Greenberg v. Brookshire, 640 S.W.2d 870 (Tex. 1982); Ault v. Mulanex, 724 S.W.2d 824 (Tex. App—Texarkana 1986, orig. proceeding). However, these cases are readily distinguishable.

Greenberg was a divorce action wherein the lower court conducted a hearing on an amended pleading after the husband nonsuited his claims. Unlike the facts to the instant case, there were only two parties to the lawsuit – a husband and a wife – and the wife filed a counterclaim against her husband and requested a hearing on same after her husband filed a nonsuit. The lower court conducted a hearing on the counterclaims, which the Texas Supreme Court held was in error, as a plaintiff has an absolute, unqualified right to a nonsuit. Greenberg, 640 S.W.2d at 872. Ault v. Mulanax is another divorce proceeding, specifically involving custody and child support issues and; not relating, whatsoever, to the factual disputes at issue in the instant litigation. Ault v. Mulanax, 724 S.W.2d at 828. Notwithstanding the factual differences, the Ault cases specifically related to and involved the imposition of the Texas Family Code. Id. Furthermore, the legal issues in Ault were jurisdictional – which court had dominant jurisdiction at the time the nonsuit

092865/000001 - 1495732v1 was filed. Id. at 828. Like in Greenberg, the Texarkana Court of Appeal’s ruling in Ault is not instructive to this Court, as the factual and legal matters at issue in Ault are grossly different and irrelevant to the case at hand.

35. Regardless of the gamesmanship of Daniel and his mother, Ms. Warren, and their persistent litigious acts, Daniel’s nonsuit does not summarily dismiss the affirmative claims brought by Mr. Weiner against Ms. Warren, which were filed prior to the nonsuit; Daniel cannot nonsuit Mr. Weiner’s claims against Ms. Warren. Tex. Mut. Ins. Co., 251 S.W.3d at 37.

V. CONCLUSION 36. Mr. Weiner’s Second Amended Cross-Claims were properly on file prior to Daniel’s Nonsuit. And, subsequent to Daniel’s nonsuit, but prior to the entry of dismissal, Mr. Weiner’s Cross and Counter-Petition was filed.

37. While Daniel’s nonsuit effectively eliminates the affirmative claims he had against Mr. Weiner, it does nothing with respect to the claims alleged by Mr. Weiner against Ms. Warren.

This Court has jurisdiction over this case and the remaining claims between Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren.

38. Accordingly, it would be improper to dismiss this case, in its entirety, because of the remaining claims by Mr. Weiner against Ms. Warren.

Daniel S. Weiner is a minor, and Petitioner is his mother. In the divorce decree, attached as "Exhibit B," entered into by Katheline F. Wan·en and Andy I, Weiner in Cause Number 2011-01040 in the Distlict CoUit of the 309'h Judicial Dishict in Harris County, Texas, Petitioner was awarded the exclusive right to represent her minor children in legal actions and to make decisions of substantial legal significance on behalf of her minor children. Texas Tmst Code§ 115.013(c)(3) permits a parent to represent her child as guardian ad litem or next of fi·iend if there is no conflict of interest and no guardian of the estate or guardian ad litem has been appointed.

JURISDICTION 4. This Court has jurisdiction to grant the relief requested in this petition pursuant to Texas Tmst Code§ 115.001(d)(l) and Texas Probate Code§ 4G.

VENUE 5. Venue of this proceeding is proper in tllis Court pursuant to Tex.as Tmst Code § 115.002(b-2) and Texas Probate Code§ 8.

FACTS 6. The Twst is an inter vivos trust created under Internal Revenue Code § 2503( c) by Katheline F. Wan·en and Andy I. Weiner by agreement dated March 20, 1996 for the benefit of their son, the Primary Beneficiary.

7. At the present time, the only pennissible beneficiary of the Trust is the Primary Beneficiary. The Trust is authorized under Section A-I to make distributions to the Primary Beneficiary as follows: During the tenn of the trust, the trustees may distribute as much or all of the Trust estate as, in the trustees' discretion, is in the Primary Beneficiary's best interests.

8. Pursuant to Section A-2 of the Trust, the Plimary Beneficiary may withdraw all or part of the Tn1st estate within 60 days after becoming age 21, and may thereby terminate the trust as to the part withdrawn. If the Primaty Beneficiary does not exercise his withdrawal right, the T!ust continues 1mtil the Primary Beneficiary becomes age 30.

9. Section A-2 of the Tmst provides that in the event the Primary Beneficiary should die before the Trust tenninates, then all assets remaining in the T1ust shall be held or distributed by the T1ustee for the benefit of those in favor of whom the Primary Beneficiary exercises a power of appointment, or otherwise in the following order: (I) to the Primary Beneficiary's descendants, (2) if none of the descendants are then Jiving, to the hustors' descendants, (3) if none of the trusters' descendants are then living, to the trustors' heirs.

I 0. Section C-1 T1ust agreement provides that any distribution made to a beneficiary of the Trust may be made to a custodian for a minor beneficiary under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.

II. The trust had marketable securities and cash in the approximate value of $113,000 as of August 31, 2013.

12. The initial co-trustees of the Trust were Katherine A. Warren and Andy I. Weiner. Both of the initial co-hustees of the Trust remain the current co-trustees, and no other co- trustees have been appointed. In the event that Andy I. Weiner and Katherine F. Warren cease to act as tmstee, Bayle Weiner Drubel, Andy I. Weiner's sister, is appointed successor trustee under Section D-l(a) of the Tmst.

13. The co-hustees of the Tn.1st are the parents of the Primary Beneficiary. Although the co- hustees were manied at the time the Trust was created, they were granted a divorce on March 29, 2012. From the time that the div01'ce was finalized, the co-trustees have been unable to agree on proper administration of the Trust.

14. Pursuant to the divorce decree attached as "Exhibit B," the Court ruled that the Trust should be administered according to its te1ms. Tltis requixes the co-trustees to act jointly, which has proved detrimental to the best interests of the Primary Beneficiary and contrary to the purposes ofthe Trust.

15. Texas Trust Code § 112.054(a)(3) provides that on the petition of a trustee, a Comt may order that the trustee be changed or that the Tmst be terminated if modification of administrative, non-dispositive terms of the tmst is necessary or appropriate to prevent waste or avoid impairment ofthe Tmst's administration.

16. Texas Trust Code§ 112.054(a)(2) provides that on the petition of a trustee, a Court may order that the tmstee be changed or that the Tmst be tenninated if, because of circumstances not known to or anticipated by the hustors, termination or modification of the Tmst will further the purposes oft he Trust.

17. Petitioner claims that the inability of the co-llustees to agree on the appropriate administration of the Trust assets has impaired the Tn1st's administration. The purposes

of the Tmst, to provide for the Primary Beneficiary, cannot be fulfilled if the co-tmstees cannot agree regarding what actions constitute the "best interests" of the Primary Beneficiary. Additionally, the cunent circumstances, i.e. the divorce of the co-tmstees, was not known to or anticipated by the tmstors. Tetmination or modification of the Trust is necessary due to the disharmony between the Tmst's co-trustees which prevents the co-trustees from administering the Tmst in the best interests of the Primary Beneficiary.

RELIEF REQUESTED l. Petitioner requests that the Court order that the Tmst be tetminated and that the Trust estate be distributed to the Unifmm Transfers to Minors Act account created for the benefit of the DanielS. Weiner, Fidelity Account ending in #6843, over which Katherine F. Wanen was awarded sole and exclusive control in the divorce decree attached as "Exhibit B"; that continued administration of the Trust would defeat or substantially impair the accomplislm1ent of the Tmst; that such circumstances were not known to or anticipated by the tmstms upon creation of the Tmst; that termination of the Tmst will further the purposes of the Trust; that the Petitioner be awarded Court costs and expenses and legal fees fi·om the Trust estate; that the remaining assets of the Tmst, after payment of Court costs and expenses and legal fees, be distributed to the Fidelity Account ending in #6843; and that the Court enter such other orders as may be approp1iate to provide for the delivery of all Tmst assets fi·om Katherine F. Warren and Andy I. Weiner to the Fidelity Account ending in #6843.

2. Petitioner altematively requests that the Comi order that the co-trustees be changed; that the Court appoint an independent corporate tmstce; that replacing the co-trustees with an independent corporate tmstee will ftniher the purposes of the Trust; that modification of

the Trust is necessary or appropriate to prevent waste or avoid impairment of the Ttust's administration; that the Petitioner be awarded Court costs and expenses and legal fees from the Trust estate; that the remaining assets of the Trust, after payment of Court costs and expenses and legal fees, be distributed to an independent corporate trustee; and that the Court enter such other orders as may be appropriate to provide for the delivery of all Trust assets fi·om Katherine F. Wall'en and Andy I. Weiner to the independent corporate trustee.

3. After the hearing on this petition, if the Comt tenninates the Trust or appoints a corporate trustee in place of the current co-trustees, Katherine F. Warren will submit a final accounting that describes all of the actions she has taken as co-tntstee of the Tmst. In that event, Petitioner asks the Court to review the final accounting, and to enter an order approving the accounting and discharging Katherine F. Wanen from any liabilities in connection with her actions as co-trustee of this Trust, including the termination.

4. Petitioner brings this action for the puqJose of preserving and protecting the interests of the Trust and its Primary Beneficiary. The relief sought herein is necessary to enable the Tntst to fulfill its purposes as created by the tmstors. Accordingly, Petitioner is entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and coutt costs fi·om the Trust pursuant to Texas Trust Code§ 114.064. If any of the other parties to this proceeding retain counsel to represent their interests in this cause, including counsel appointed by this Comt, the Court should detetmine whether all or any portion of the attorney's fees and court costs incuJTed by these parties should be paid by the Trust.

PRAYER WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner prays that the Com! grant the requested relief. Petitioner further prays for such other and further relief to which Petitioner is justly entitled.

Weiner- Agreed Final Decree of Divorce Page 41 No. ______________ INRE: § IN THE PROBATE COURT § § NO. ______________ DAVID ABRAHAM WEINER § 1994TRUST § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

AFFIDAVIT OF KATHERINE F. WARREN Before me, the undersigned notary, on this day personally appeared KATHERINE F.

WARREN, the affiant, whose identity is known to me. After I administered an oath, affiant testified as follows: 1. My name is Katherine F. Warren. I am over eighteen years of age, of sonnd mind, and capable of making tllis affidavit. The facts stated in this affidavit are within my personal knowledge and are true and correct.

2. On December 13, 1994, Andy I. Weiner and I created the DAVID ABRAHAM WEINER 1994 TRUST (the "Trust") for the benefit of our son, David W. Warren, formerly known as David A. Weiner. Andy I. Weiner and I are the trustors and co-ttustees of the Trust.

3. The purpose of the Trust is to provide for the best interests of our son, David. A primary purpose of the Trust is to fund his educational costs. I believe that it is in David's best interest to receive a quality education.

4. David is enrolled as a freshman at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He began attending classes in August 2013.

5. Andy I. Weiner and I were granted a divorce on March 29, 2012. As part of the divorce decree, the trust was to continue as provided under the tmst agreement. Under the trust agreement, Andy I. Weiner and I are required to act jointly as co-trustees.

txh;hrf ~ 6. Although David is the primary beneficiary of the Trust, he applied for fmancial aid with Rice University prior to the start of the Fall 2013 semester. David was denied financial aid because of the Trust. The financial aid department of Rice University explained that where students are the beneficiaries of trusts like the DAVID ABRAHAM WEINER 1994 TRUST, that the school assumes that the trust funds are intended for the payment of college expenses.

7. David received a tuition bill from Rice University in July 2013. I wrote a check from the Trust's Fidelity account for $20,000 or around August 1, 2013. The check was returned to Rice University unpaid because Andy I. Weiner requested that Fidelity not honor the check.

8. After the check was returned to Rice University unpaid, David received a letter from the university advising him that his tuition payment was overdue. I requested that Fidelity wire $20,000 to David, with which he paid his tuition. It took approximately six weeks for the tuition payment to be credited to David's account with Rice University.

9. I believe that it is detrimental to the best interests of David for Andy I. Weiner and I to continue acting as co-trustees of the Trust. Our disagreements regarding distributions of David's behalf could seriously inhibit his ability to receive a wonderful education.

10. David is an intelligent adult and is capable of using the Trust assets for his best interests.

I believe that David has shown maturity beyond most other college students his age. It would be in his best interests to be given the Trust assets for his college tuition, rather than to face the uncertainty inherent in the current situation. _ _ 2013.

I TAB H Agreed Final Decree of Divorce ("Divorce Decree"), Cause No. 2011-01040 in the District Court of the 309'" Judicial District in Hanis County, Texas, which is attached as "Exhibit B" and incorporated for all pmposes. Texas Trust Code§ 115.013(c)(3) petmits a parent to represent her child as guardian ad litem or next friend if there is no conflict of interest and no guardian of the estate or guardian ad litem has been appointed. Ms. Wan·en's interests do not conflict with those of DanielS. Weiner.

4. Katherine F. Wanen is an individual acting as tmstee of the Tmst. Ms. WmTen is joined as a Respondent herein because she has an interest in the proceeding under Texas Tmst Code § 111.004(7) and is a necessary party pursuant to Texas Tmst Code § 115.011(b)(4).

Mr. Weiner currently resides at 1200 Post Oak Blvd., Apmiment 907, Houston, Texas 77056.

6. The situs of the Trust is Houston, Hanis County, Texas.

JURISDICTION 7. The subject matter of this dispute involves the management and modification of the Trust estate of the DANIEL STEPHEN WEINER 1996 TRUST. This Court has jurisdiction over this subject matter pursuant to Texas Trust Code§ 115.001(d)(1) and Texas Probate Code§ 4G.

RESPONSE TO PLEA IN ABATEMENT 8. Respondent Andy I. Weiner filed a Plea in Abatement in this action alleging that he had commenced an earlier suit on the same subject matter involving the same patties in the 3091h Judicial Disllict. In order to succeed on his Plea in Abatement, Mr. Weiner must show that I) he commenced suit first, 2) the suit is still pending, 3) the same parties are involved, and 4) the controversies are the same. In re Sims, 88 S.W.3d 301, 303 (Tex. App. - San Antonio 2002, Wiit granted). The undisputed record shows that the Mr. Weiner cannot meet the last two requirements. On their face, Mr. Weiner's pleadings show that the parties are not the same in the District Comt and the Probate Court. Daniel S. Weiner is not a party in the District Court action. Daniel S. Weiner would be a necessary party to a suit involving the DANIEL STEPHEN WEINER 1996 TRUST because he is a named beneficiary. Tex. Trust Code§ 115.01l(b)(2). A lack of necessary parties deprives the first court of dominant jurisdiction. Mission Res. v. Garza Energy Trust, 268 S.W.3d 301, 328 (Tex. App. Corpus Christi 2005). A plaintiff who is not a pmty to a plior suit is fi·ee to choose his forum. Wyatt v. Shaw Plumbing Co., 760 S.W.2d 245, 248 (Tex. 1988). A defendant, however, is not at libetty to decline to do battle in the forum chosen by the plaintiff. Id. Accordingly, Mr. Weiner's Plea in Abatement should be denied.

9. Nor can Mr. Weiner show that he had a prior case involving the same subject matter when Petitioner filed his case in the Probate Comt. Two controversies involve the same subject matter when the issues presented in each case are "inherently intenelated" - i.e. one controversy cannot be resolved without resolving the other. In re Puig, 351 S.W.3d 301, 305 (Tex. 2011); Wyatt, 760 S.W.2d at 247. That is not the case here. The pleadings

on their face reveal that the subject matters in the two actions are wholly dissimilar. The alienation issues can be resolved without modifying the Tmst and the Trust can be modified without resolving the alienation issues.

10. The hemi of Mr. Weiner's Petition to Modify Parent-Child Relationship ("SAPCR" 1) filed on August 14, 2013 is a claim of alienation from his children allegedly caused by Katherine F. Wan·en, his ex-wife. See Suppotiing Affidavit to Exhibit A to Mr. Weiner's Plea in Abatement. Mr. Weiner's SAPCR contained a litany of grievances and relief requested in order to stop the alienation. Among them was a request for the exclusive right to consent to the children's psychiattic and psychological treatment, to manage their estates, 2 to represent them in legal action, and to exercise a fully expanded Standard Possession Order. Mr. Weiner also requested temporary orders for psychological evaluation of the whole family, the appointment of an Amicus Attorney, mandatory alternative dispute resolution ("ADR"), access to the children's health care records, and enforcement of the Divorce Decree's order that the Fidelity Trust accounts be changed to "and" accounts. He also requested a temporary restraining order to prevent Ms. Wan·en from withdrawing the children from school where they are presently enrolled and making disparaging remarks about him in front of the children. And finally, he requested a permanent injunction to prevent Ms. Wan·en from changing the names of the children.

There was no mention of Trust management or modification and hence no inherent intenelation of the initial subject matter of the two suits. In re Puig, 351 S.W.3d at 305; Wyatt, 760 S.W.2d at 247.

Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship ("SAPCR") means a suit filed in which the appointment of a managing conservator or a possessory conservator, access to or support of a child, or establishment or termination of the parent-child relationship is requested. Tex. Family Code§ 101.032.

The children have a Unifonn Transfer to Minors Account ("UTMA"), which Ms. WaiTen was awarded sole and exclusive control of on page 9 of the original Divorce Decree dated March 29, 2012.

II. It was only after Petitioner filed suit to modify the Trust on September 30, 2013 that Mr. Weiner amended hiss pleadings in the District Court on October 18, 2013 to request "the exclusive right to manage the existing ttusts of the children." See page 2 of Exhibit B to Mr. Weiner's Plea in Abatement. This addition is the only change that was made in the amended pleadings. See Mr. Weiner's Exhibits A and B to his Plea in Abatement. In essence, Mr. Weiner amended his pleading to set up a new subject matter in order to obtain dominant jurisdiction in the District Court. But this is directly contrary to the Texas Supreme Court's ruling in State of Texas v. Boyd, in which the Court held that a party cannot obtain dominant jurisdiction by amending its pleadings in the first court to set up a subject matter similar to a different case in a second court involving the same parties. State of Texas v. Boyd, 136 S.W.2d II 07 (Tex. 1940). The plaintiff in Boyd amended its pleading in the Ha!Tis County District Court to set up a similar subject matter as another suit involving the same defendant in Travis County. The plaintiff then filed a plea in abatement alleging that it had a prior suit on the same subject matter pending in Han-is County. The Court held that such action did not bestow dominant jurisdiction on the first case because they were wholly dissimilar prior to the amendment. Id. These facts are identical to the case at bar in which Mr. Weiner amended his parent-child alienation case against his ex-wife to add a new subject matter- management of the Trust estate - and then alleged that he had a prior suit pending on the same subject matter as Petitioner's case in the Probate Court. But the law is clear that amending a pleading to set up a subject matter similar to a second action does not give the first action dominant jurisdiction where the subject matter of the two cases were "wholly dissimilar" prior to the amendment. Id.

RESPONSE TO PLEA TO THE JURISDICTION 12. Mr. Weiner also filed a Plea to the Jurisdiction on October 23, 2013 alleging that the District Court has continuing exclusive jurisdiction over matters pertaining to the Trust estate. But that asse1iion is directly contrary to the statute. Texas Family Code § 155.001(a) confers exclusive continuing exclusive jurisdiction over only the matters provided for in Title 5 of the Texas Family Code. These include "orders regarding managing conservatorship, possessory conservatorship, possession of and access to the child, and support of the child." Tex. Family Code§ 155.003(a). The limits of the District Comi's continuing exclusive jurisdiction are not boundless. They include only those matters expressly enumerated in Texas Family Code § 155.003(a), which are not involved in Petitioner's action to modifY the Trust. Accordingly, this Court should deny Mr. Weiner's Plea to the Jurisdiction.

13. A hearing is scheduled on the Plea in Abatement and the Plea to the Jurisdiction for November II, 2013 at I :30 p.m. in this Court.

VENUE 14. Venue of this proceeding is proper in this Comi pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 115.002(b-2) and Texas Probate Code§ 8.

FACTS 15. The Trust is an inter vivos minor's trust created under Internal Revenue Code§ 2503(c) by Ms. Wan·en and Mr. Weiner by agreement dated March 20, 1996 for the benefit of their son, DanielS. Weiner, the Primary Beneficimy and Petitioner.

16. At the present time, Daniel S. Weiner is the only beneficiary of the Trust. Daniel S.

Weiner is a high school senior and straight-A student at The Kincaid School in Houston, Texas. He is completing applications to attend college in the Fall of 2014 and is concemed about being able to depend on distributions fi·om the Tmst to help pay for his college.

17. The Tmst estate consists of marketable securities and cash in the approximate value of $113,000 as of August 31, 2013.

18. The Trust is authorized under Section A-1 to make disttibutions to the Ptimary Beneficiary as follows: "The income of the trust may be accumulated and retained, in whole or in pati, or the tmstee may distribute to Daniel, fi·om time to time, so much or all of the bust estate as, in the trustee's discretion, is in Daniel's best interests." 19. Pursuant to Section A-2 of the Trust, the Ptimary Beneficiary may withdraw all or part of the Trust estate within 60 days after becoming age 21, and may thereby te1minate the trust as to the pati withdrawn. If the Primaty Beneficiary does not exercise his withdrawal tight, the Trust continues until the Ptimary Beneficiary becomes age 30.

20. Section A-2 of the Trust provides that in the event the Primary Beneficiary should die before the Trust tenninates, then all assets remaining in the Trust shall be held or distributed by the Trustee for the benefit of those in favor of whom the Primary Beneficiary exercises a power of appointment, or otherwise in the following order:(!) to the Ptimary Beneficiary's descendants, (2) if none of the descendants are then living, to

the trustors' descendants, (3) if none of the trustors' descendants are then living, to the trustors' heirs.

21. The initial and current bus tees of the Trust are Ms. Warren and Mr. Weiner. In the event that both Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren cease to act as tmstee, Bayle Weiner Drubel, Mr. Weiner's sister, who is believed to live in Dmtmouth, Massachusetts, is appointed successor tmstee under Section D-l(a) of the Trust.

22. The tmstees were granted a divorce on March 29, 2012. The Divorce Decree ordered that: "the following children's trusts are held in ilTevocable tmsts, which shall continue as written, and that each party will take any and all necessary steps to provide full co-trustee ownership and control of each such account including the placing of such accounts in a deposit and withdrawal agreement requiling both co- trustees to disburse funds; also known as an "and" account: I. Fidelity Trust Acct Ending in #8634 (David) 2. Fidelity Trust Acct Ending in #3958 (Daniel) 3. Fidelity Trust Acct Ending in #1942 (Michael)." See Exhibit B, page I 0.

23. The Texas Trust Code provides that on the petition of a beneficiary, a Court may order that the trustee be changed or that the trust be otherwise modified if modification of administrative, non-dispositive tenns of the trust is necessary or appropriate to prevent waste or avoid impainnent of the Trust's administration. Tex. Trust Code § 112.054(a)(3).

24. Petitioner believes that the inability of the trustees to agree on management of the Trust has impaired the Tmst's administration. Modification of the Tmst is necessary to prevent the tmstees' personal issues fi·om hindering their ability to effectively administer the Trust.

RELIEF REQUESTED 25. Petitioner requests that the Court order that the Tmst be modified to allow Daniel S.

Weiner to become trustee of the Trust upon attaining age 18 on March 11, 2014; that modification of the Trust will further the purposes of the Trust; that modifying the Trust is necessary or appropriate to prevent waste or avoid impaitment of the Tmst's administration; and that the Court enter such other orders to effect the modification of the Trust.

26. Petitioner brings this action for the purpose of preserving and protecting the interests of the Trust estate and its Primary Beneficiary. The relief sought herein is necessary to enable the Tmst to fulfill its intended purposes. Accordingly, Petitioner is entitled to recover reasonable attomey's fees and court costs from the Trust pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 114.064 ("In any proceeding under this code the comt may make such award of costs and reasonable and necessary attomey's fees as may seem equitable and just"). If any of the other patties to this proceeding retain counsel to represent their interests in this cause, the Court should detennine whether all or any portion of the attorney's fees and court costs incurred by these parties should be paid by the Tmst.

PRAYER WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner prays that the Court grant the requested relief and deny Mr. Weiner's Plea in Abatement and Plea to the Jurisdiction.

Petitioner further prays for such other and further relief to which Petitioner is justly entitled.

CAROL A. CANTRELL Exhibit A

DANIEL STEVEN WEINER 1996 TRUST

By this trust agreement, Andy I. Weiner and Katherine Friedman Weiner, husband and wife,· both of Harris County, Texas, as "trusters," establish the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust for the benefit of their son, Daniel steven Weiner ("Daniel"), born March 11, 1996. Trusters grant, assign and deliver to Andy I.

Weiner and Katherine Friedman weiner, both of Harris County, Texas, as "trustees," the property described in Attachment A. Attachment A, which is captioned "Initial Contributions to the Daniel Steven weiner 1996 Trust," is incorporated by reference as a part of this trust agreement.

This trust agreement and the trusts established by it are irrevocable. No person shall have the right to revoke or amend this trust agreement or any of its provisions. However, property acceptable to the trustee may be added to any trust from time to time in the future by trusters or by any other person (including additions pursuant to the provisions of the last will of any person).

All references to "trustee" shall refer to the person or persons then acting as such.

A. PRIMARY TRUST A-1. Distributions. The income of the trust may be accumulated and retained, in whole or in part, or the trustee may distribute to Daniel, from time to time, so much or all of the trust estate as, in the trustee's discretion, is in Daniel's best interests.

A-2. Termination. Daniel may withdraw any part or all of the trust estate within 60 days after he becomes age 21, and may thereby terminate the trust as to the part withdrawn. Exercise of this withdrawal right shall be by one or more written instruments delivered to the trustee within the 60-day period. If or to the extent that Daniel does not exercise this withdrawal right, the trust shall continue until Daniel becomes age 30 or dies before that age, at which time the trust estate shall be distributed: (a) To Daniel.

(b) If Daniel is not then living, to such one or more persons, corporations or organizations (including Daniel's estate), as Daniel appoints by a will which specifically refers to this power of appointment. If or to the extent that Daniel does not effectively exercise this power of appointment, the trust estate shall be distributed: (1) To Daniel's descendants, (2) If none of Daniel's descendants is then living, to trusters' descendants. ( 3) If none of trusters 1 descendants is then living, to trusters' heirs.

A-3. Payment of Taxes. If Daniel's will contains no contrary directions, the trustee shall pay from the trust estate the entire increment in taxes payable by reason of Daniel's death (including any interest or penalties thereon) to the extent (if any) that the total of such taxes is greater than would have been imposed if no portion of the trust estate were taken into account in determining such taxes.

B. CONTINGENT TRUSTS B-1. Trusts Established. Any portion of a trust estate upon the trusts termination (other than a portion withdrawn by Daniel pursuant to Paragraph A-2) which would be distributable to a beneficiary who is under age 30 or to a beneficiary who is under a legal disability instead shall be distributed to the trustee of a Contingent Trust (unless otherwise directed by the valid exercise of a power of appointment). Each beneficiary's portion so distributed shall be held and administered as the initial trust estate of a separate trust for the beneficiary. However, if a Contingent Trust is already in existence for that beneficiary, any additional portion to be distributed to the trustee of a Contingent Trust for the beneficiary shall be added to the trust estate of the existing contingent Trust.

B-2. Distributions. The income of each Contingent Trust may be accumulated and retained, in whole or in part, or the trustee may distribute to the beneficiary for whom the trust was established, from time to time, so much or all of the trust estate as, in the trustee's discretion, is in the beneficiary's best interests.

B-3. Termination. Each contingent Trust shall terminate when the beneficiary for whom the trust was established has become age 30 and is under no legal disability or upon the beneficiary's earlier death. Upon termination, the trust estate shall be distributed: (a) To the beneficiary.

(b) If the beneficiary is not then living, to such one or more persons, corporations or organizations as the beneficiary appoints by a will which specifically refers to this power of appointment. If none of the beneficiary's descendants is then living, this power may not be exercised in favor of the beneficiary, the beneficiary's estate, the beneficiary's creditors or the creditors of the beneficiary's estate. If or to the extent that the beneficiary does not effectively exercise this power of appointment, the trust estate shall be distributed: (1) To the beneficiary's descendants.

C. DISTRIBUTIONS c-1. Distributions to or for Beneficiaries. During the term of a trust, any distribution to be made to a beneficiary from the trust may be made (i) to the beneficiary, (ii) if the beneficiary is under a legal disability or if the trustee determines that the beneficiary is unable to properly manage his affairs, to a person furnishing support, maintenance or education for the beneficiary or with whom the beneficiary is residing, for expenditure on the beneficiary's behalf, or (iii) to a custodian for a minor beneficiary, as selected by the trustee, under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. Alternatively, the trustee may otherwise apply all or a part of the distribution for the beneficiary 1 s benefit. However, no such distribution shall be made to a trustor, to any spouse of a trustor, or in any manner that discharges a legal obligation (including an obligation of support) of a trustor or any spouse of a trustor. Any distribution under this paragraph shall be a full discharge of the trustee with respect thereto. c-2. Best Interests of Beneficiary. In making distributions in the "best interests" of a beneficiary, the trustee may consider the age of the beneficiary, the costs of the beneficiary's support, maintenance, education and comfort without regard to any other resources available to the beneficiary for these purposes, the effect of any distribution upon the income and transfer tax liability of the beneficiary or of the trust, and any other factors deemed relevant by the trustee.

Weiner or Katherine Friedman Weiner cease to act as trustee, for any reason, the one remaining shall continue to act as trustee. Should both Andy I.

Weiner and Katherine Friedman Weiner cease to act as trustees, for any reason, trusters appoint Bayle Weiner Drubel as successor trustee.

-3- (b) Appointment of Successor Trustee by Trustee. At any time after qualifying as trustee, any trustee may appoint a successor trustee to act in his place, either immediately or in the future upon any stated contingency, and may thereby supplement the provisions of subparagraph (a). (c) Appointment of Successor Trustee by Beneficiaries. If at any time there is no trustee acting and none has been appointed, a majority of the beneficiaries (acting through the beneficiary's natural or legal guardian or legal representative, in the case of a beneficiary under a legal disability) who might then be entitled to receive a distribution from the trust estate shall appoint a successor trustee. (d) Appointment of Co-Trustee. The trustee (acting unanimously if more than one) may appoint one or more co-trustees. (e) Who May Be Appointed. A successor trustee or co-trustee may be any individual, bank or trust company and may be domiciled anywhere. (f) Procedure for Appointment. Appointment shall be made by written instrument filed with the trust records. Any such appointment may be changed or revoked prior to the date it becomes effective. Any such appointment may be limited in any manner deemed advisable by the person making the appointment, including, for example, restricting the power over distributions as necessary to avoid the imposition of any tax upon the trust, the appointee or the appointee's estate. · D-2. Resignation of Trustee. A trustee may resign from a trust without the necessity of any court proceeding upon meeting these conditions: (a) Notice. At least 30 days' written notice (if not waived) shall be given to each beneficiary who might then be entitled to receive a distribution from the trust estate, If a beneficiary is under a legal disability, notice shall be given to (or waived by) the beneficiary's natural or legal guardian.

He may create life interests or other limited interests in some appointees with future interests in favor of other appointees, may appoint different types of interests among the appointees, and may create new powers of appointment in a trustee or trustees or in any appointee. He may impose lawful conditions on an appointment and,, in general, may appoint to or among the appointees in any lawful manner.

In determining whether, in what manner and to what extent a testamentary power of appointment has been exercised by a beneficiary, the trustee may act in reliance upon a court order admitting an instrument to probate as the beneficiary's last will or an order finding that the beneficiary died intestate. Unless within six months after the beneficiary's death the trustee has actual notice of the existence of proceedings to probate a will of the beneficiary, the trustee shall assume that the beneficiary died -8- intestate. The foregoing prov1s1ons are intended to expedite the prompt and efficient administration of the trust and to protect the trustee from any action taken or distribution made in accordance with these provisions. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or qualify any power of appointment given by this trust agreement or any right which an appointee or taker in default of appointment may have against any person receiving a distribution from the trustee irrespective of the place of probate or of the time of discovery of a will exercising the power or any other action taken in the beneficiary's estate.

ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE By signing this trust agreement, the trustee (i) accepts these trusts and all of the rights, powers and duties attached to the office of trustee as provided herein, (ii) agrees to serve as trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust and of any Contingent Trusts which may be established under this trust agreement, (iii) acknowledges receipt of the property described in Attachment A, and (iv) agrees to hold and administer each trust estate in accordance with the terms of this trust agreement.

AFFIDAVITOFKATHERINEF. WARREN Before me, the undersigned notary, on this ·day personally appeared KATHERINE F.

WARREN, the affiant, whose identity is known to me. After I administered an oath, affiant iestified as follows:· 1. My name is Katherine F. Warren. I am over eighteen years of age, of ~ound mind, and capable of making this affidavit. The facts stated in this affidavit are within my personal knowledge and are true and correct.

2. On December 13, 1994, Andy I. Weiner and I created the DAVID ABRAHAM WEJNER 1994 TRUST (the "Trust") for the benefit of our son, David W. Warren, formerly known as David A. Weiner. Andy I. Weiner and I are the trustors and co-trustees of the Ttust.

3. The purpose of the Trust is to provide for the best interests of our son, David. A primary purpose of the Trust is to fund his educational costs. I believe that it is in David's best . interest to receive a quality education.

4. David is enrolled as a freshman at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He began attending classes in August 2013.

5. Andy I. Weiner and I were granted a divorce on March 29, 2012. As part of the divorce decree, the trust was to continue as provided under the trust agreement. Under the trust agreement, Andy I. Weiner and I are required to act jointly as co-trustees.

6. Although David is the primary beneficiary of the Trust, he applied for fmancial aid with Rice University prior to the start of the Fall 2013 semester. David was denied fmancial aid because of the Trust. The financial aid department of Rice University explained that where students are the beneficiaries of trusts like the DAVID ABRAHAM WEINER 1994 TRUST, that the school assumes that the trust funds are intended for the payment of college expenses.

7. David received a tuition bill from Rice University in July 2013. I wrote a check from the Trust's Fidelity account for $20,000 or around August 1, 2013. The check was returned to Rice University unpaid because Andy I. Weiner requested that Fidelity not honor the check.

8. After the check was returned to Rice University unpaid, David received a letter from the university advising him that his tuition payment was overdue. I requested that Fidelity wire $20,000 to David, with which he paid his tuition. It took approximately six weeks for the tuition payment to be credited to David's account with Rice University.

9. I believe that it is detrimental to the best interests of David for Andy I. Weiner and I to continue acting as co-trustees of the Trust. Our disagreements regarding distributions of David's behalf could seriously inhibit his ability to receive a wonderful educatio!J . . 10. David is an intelligent adult and is capable of using the Trust assets for his best interests.

I believe that David has shown maturity beyond most otber college students his age. It would be in his best interests to be given the Tlust assets for his college tuition, rather than to face the uncetiaintyinherent in the current situation.

1 TAB K 4. Respondent Katherine R. Warren, an individual, has appeared and answered. A copy of this petition will be forwarded to Thomas R. Conner, attorney of record for Respondent Warren, Conner & Lindamood, P.C., 1221 Lamar, Suite 1010, Houston, TX 77010.

VENUE 5. Venue of this proceeding is proper in this Court pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 115.002(b).

THE ORIGINAL LAWSUIT 6. Plaintiff David W. Warren filed an Original Petition for Termination of Trust on September 30, 2013 seeking to terminate the David Abraham Weiner 1994 Trust.

Respondents Andy I. Weiner and Katherine R. Warren were joined as necessary parties under Texas Property Code § 115.011 because they are trustees of the trust.

7. On October 23, 2013, Respondent Weiner filed an answer to plaintiff’s original petition asserting a general denial as well as affirmative defenses of res judicata, collateral estoppel, the doctrine of unclean hands, and the terms of the trust.

8. On November 1, 2013, plaintiff David Warren filed a First Amended Original Petition for Modification of Trust and sought to remove both trustees and appoint himself as trustee rather than to terminate the trust.

9. On January 15, 2014 Respondent Warren filed an answer to plaintiff’s First Amended Original Petition for Modification of Trust and asserted a general denial.

10. On March 13, 2014 David W. Warren filed his Second Amended Original Petition seeking to remove only Andy I. Weiner as trustee and obtain damages against Andy I.

Weiner for breach of fiduciary duty by failing to prudently invest David’s Trust funds and borrowing substantially all of David’s Trust’s funds, which is expressly prohibited by the Texas Trust Code § 113.052 and the terms of the trust instrument.

INTERVENOR’S INTEREST IN LAWSUIT 11. Daniel S. Weiner has a justiciable interest in this lawsuit because he will be harmed if the Court finds that Andy I. Weiner did nothing wrong by borrowing substantially all of the funds from David’s Trust on April 9, 2009 for his own personal use and benefit while he was trustee. Andy I. Weiner also borrowed substantially all of the funds from Daniel’s Trust on the same day in the same transaction for Respondent Weiner’s his own personal use and benefit without interest or collateral while he was trustee of Daniel’s Trust. The trust instruments of both David’s Trust and Daniel’s Trust expressly prohibit borrowing by the trustee.

12. Daniel S. Weiner will also be harmed in this lawsuit if the Court finds that Andy I.

Weiner did nothing wrong by maintaining the assets of David’s Trust in cash for 3.5 years while the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 Index, and the NASDAQ advanced by to 203 percent during that time period. Andy I. Weiner also maintained the assets of Daniel’s Trust in cash during that same time period.

13. Daniel S. Weiner will also be harmed in this lawsuit if the Court finds that Andy I.

Weiner did nothing wrong by investing more than half of David’s Trust portfolio in Weiners Stores, Inc. when the company had a history of bankruptcy and was ultimately sold for a complete loss. Andy I. Weiner also invested over 65 percent of Daniel’s Trust portfolio in Weiner Stores, Inc. during the same time period and sold the stock for a complete loss.

14. Daniel S. Weiner will also be harmed in this lawsuit if the Court finds that Andy I.

Weiner did nothing wrong by failing to diversify David’s Trust portfolio and consequently selling the stocks for a significant loss. Andy I Weiner also failed to diversify Daniel’s Trust

Daniel’s Trust by investing in the same stocks (Autozone Inc., Kohls Corp, Lowes Companies, Whole Foods Market, and 99 Cents Only Stores) as David’s Trust and selling them at the same time for a loss of $30,586.

15. Because Daniel Weiner challenges the very same transactions that David Warren is already challenging, his claims arise from the same transactions or occurrences and involve common questions of law and fact with David’s claims – namely, whether the actions of Andy I. Weiner in failing to prudently invest the trust assets and borrowing nearly all of the trust corpus for Respondent Weiner’s own benefit constitute breaches of fiduciary duty. The outcome of David W. Warren’s case will substantially affect the interest of Daniel S. Weiner because they complain of the same transactions by the same trustee during the same time period pertaining to identical trusts with identical assets.

16. A party has a justiciable interest in a lawsuit when its interests will be affected by the litigation. {In re Union Carbide Corp., 273 S.W.3d 152, 155 (Tex. 2008); Law Offices of Windle Turley, P.C. v. Ghiasinejad, 109 S.W.3d 68, 70 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2003, no pet.).} A party may intervene in a suit if it could have brought all or part of the same suit in its own name. {In re Union Carbide, 273 S.W.3d at 155; Guar. Fed. Sav. Bank v. Horseshoe Operating Co., 793 S.W.2d 652, 657 (Tex. 1990); E & B Carpet Mills v. State, 776 S.W.2d 286, 290 (Tex. App.—Austin 1989, writ dism’d).} FACTS 17. Intervenor Daniel S. Weiner is the beneficiary of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust (Daniel’s Trust), an irrevocable inter vivos trust created by Respondents (trustors) Warren and Weiner on March 20, 1996. A true and correct copy of the trust agreement is attached hereto as “Exhibit A” and is incorporated for all purposes.

18. Respondents Andy I. Weiner and Katherine R. Weiner, are Trustees of the Trust.

Respondent Weiner’s sister Bayle Weiner Drubel is successor trustee in the event that both Respondents Weiner and Warren cease to serve.

19. Daniel S. Weiner was born on March 18, 1996 and is an adult.

20. The primary purpose of Daniel’s Trust is to pay for Daniel’s education. He is presently a senior student at Kinkaid High School in Houston, Texas. He has accepted enrollment at Rice University in Houston, Texas to attend classes in the fall of 2014.

21. Daniel’s Trust owns marketable securities worth approximately $124,983 as of January 31, 2014. The Trust assets came from various sources including Daniel’s own income tax refunds, birthday and Hanukkah gifts, and checks payable to the Custodian of his Uniform Gifts to Minors Account. Respondent Weiner “endorsed” these checks over to Daniel’s Trust without Daniel’s knowledge.

22. The Trustee is authorized to make discretionary distributions to the beneficiary as are in the beneficiary's best interest. The beneficiary may withdraw the entire Trust corpus upon reaching age 21.

23. On March 25, 2009, Respondent Andy I. Weiner liquidated the entire portfolio of Daniel’s Trust and incurred a capital loss of $30,586.

24. On April 9, 2009 Respondent Weiner borrowed $90,959.38 from Daniel’s Trust, leaving $1,000 in the trust. On the same day Respondent Weiner borrowed $126,641.40 from David’s Trust and $82,474.40 from his other son Michael Weiner’s trust, leaving only $1,000 in each of those trusts. In all, Respondent borrowed $300,075.18 from his sons’ trusts for his own personal use and benefit while he was trustee.

25. On December 19, 2013, Daniel S. Weiner demanded an accounting of his trust under Texas Trust Code § 113.151-152. Respondent Weiner has ignored his demand.

26. In 1999, Daniel’s Trust purchased 34,000 shares of Wieners Stores, Inc. stock, in addition to the 18,000 shares it already owned. On August 31, 1999, Weiners Stores, Inc. accounted for over 65 percent of Daniel’s Trust’s portfolio.

27. Respondent Weiner was an Executive Vice President of Weiner Stores, Inc. until 1995 when it declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Weiners Stores emerged from bankruptcy on August 26, 1997 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy again on October 16, 2000.

28. On December 6, 2001, Daniel’s Trust sold 52,000 shares of Wieners Stores, Inc. for 2/10ths of a cent per share for a total loss of $28,762.44.

29. From July 1, 1999 to March 25, 2009 Daniel’s Trust invested in only five to eight individual stocks in a portfolio worth less than $90,000.

30. From March 26, 2009 to September 11, 2012 Daniel’s Trust’s account at Fidelity consisted entirely of cash. During this time the trust earned $99.13 of interest income, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 72 percent, the S&P 500 Index increased by percent, and the NASDAQ Composite increased by over 203 percent.

31. Daniel S. Weiner did not discover Respondent Weiner’s borrowing or failure to prudently invest his Trust funds until discovery began in David Warren’s case. Daniel Weiner was a minor when the borrowings and other breaches occurred. The period of limitations does not begin to run against a person entitled to bring an action for breach of fiduciary duty while the person is under 18 years of age. {Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 16.001, 16.004.} Daniel S. Weiner became 18 on March 18, 2014 and is thus within the limitations period for bringing this action.

CAUSES OF ACTION 32. Daniel S. Weiner incorporates by reference each and every allegation contained in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

33. There is a real and justiciable controversy between Daniel S. Weiner and Respondent Andy I. Weiner concerning Respondent Weiner’s actions as trustee of Daniel’s Trust.

34. Respondent Weiner has materially breached his fiduciary duties in the following manner: a. By borrowing substantially all of the assets of Daniel’s Trust for his own personal use and benefit on April 9, 2009 without interest or collateral in violation of Paragraph E-3(a) of the Trust Agreement and the Texas Trust Code § 113.052, both of which expressly forbid borrowing by the trustee; b. By commingling substantially all of Daniel’s Trust assets with Respondent Weiner's own personal funds in violation of the duty of loyalty under Texas Trust Code § 117.007, the duty not to profit by self-dealing with the trust under Texas Trust Code § 114.0001(a), and the common law duty to segregate trust assets; c. By investing over 65 percent of Daniel’s Trust assets in Weiner Stores, Inc. in 1999, resulting in a material loss to the trust in violation of the prudent investor rule under Texas Trust Code § 117.004; d. By failing to properly diversify Daniel’s Trust property resulting in a material loss to the trust in violation of the duty to diversify under Texas Trust Code § 117.005; e. By failing to prudently invest Daniel’s Trust property resulting in a material loss to the trust in violation of the prudent investor rule under Texas Trust Code § 117.004;

f. By failing to render an accounting despite written demand by Daniel S.

Weiner on December 19, 2013 in violation of the duty to account under Texas Trust Code §§ 113.151 and 113.152.

Daniel and his trust have suffered substantial economic damages as a direct result of Respondent Weiner’s material breaches of fiduciary duty enumerated above.

35. Daniel Weiner further claims that Respondent Weiner’s sister, Bayle Weiner Drubel, should not be named as successor trustee in the event Respondents are unable to serve because she has a material conflict of interest with respect to this Trust due to her relationship with Respondent Weiner. As a result of her conflict, Ms. Drubel would not be capable of properly performing her fiduciary duties. {Kappus v. Kappus, 284 S.W.3d 831 (Tex. 2009)}.

RELIEF REQUESTED WHEREFORE, Daniel S. Weiner requests: 36. Judgment against Respondent Andy I. Weiner for a sum within the jurisdictional limits of the Court.

37. Monetary relief of over $200,000 but not more than $1,000,000.

38. Removal of Respondent Weiner as Trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust pursuant to Texas Trust Code §§ 114.008(a)(7) and 113.082; 39. That Respondent Weiner be ordered to pay money or restore property to Daniel’s Trust equal to the trust’s lost profits caused by Respondent Weiner's borrowing, imprudent investing, and other breaches of fiduciary duty pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 114.008(a)(3); 40. That Respondent Weiner be ordered to disgorge and pay to Daniel’s Trust any profit he has made through his personal use of Daniel’s Trust funds under Texas Trust Code § 114.0001(a).

41. That Respondent Weiner be ordered to pay Daniel’s Trust punitive damages in excess of the statutory cap due to Respondent Weiner's gross negligence and intentional and conscious indifference to the rights of the beneficiaries under Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.008.

42. That Daniel S. Weiner be awarded reasonable and necessary attorney fees, costs, and expenses through trial and all appeals under applicable Texas law, including but not limited to Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 38.001 and Texas Trust Code §§ 114.064 and 113.151(a).

43. That Respondent Weiner be ordered to submit an accounting that meets the requirements of Texas Trust Code § 113.152 and personally bear the cost of the accounting pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 113.151.

44. That Daniel’s Trust be modified pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 112.054(a)(3) to appoint Daniel Weiner as co-Trustee with Respondent Katherine Warren and remove Bayle Weiner Drubel as the successor trustee in the event that Ms. Warren ceases to serve.

45. That Daniel S. Weiner and his trust be awarded prejudgment and postjudgment interest as provided by law.

PRAYER WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Daniel S. Weiner prays that the Court grant the requested relief and such further relief to which Daniel S. Weiner and his trust are justly entitled.

No power granted the trustee shall be construed to enable any person to purchase, exchange, or otherwise deal with or dispose of any trust estate for less than an adequate consideration in money or money's worth or to authorize loans to any person without adequate interest. No part of any trust estate may be (i) loaned to a trustor or to any spouse of a trustor or (ii) applied to the payment of premiums on policies of insurance on the life of a trustor or on the life of any spouse of a trustor.

-6- EXHIBIT A (b) Distributions to or for Trustee. Any power to make discretionary distributions to or for the benefit of a person who is serving as trustee of a trust (including distributions to the person's spouse and distributions in discharge of any legal obligation of the person) shall be exercisable solely by the trustee or trustees other than that person. If no other trustee is then serving, such power shall not be exercisable.

E-4. Release and Delegations of Powers. Any power granted to a trustee may be released, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently. Except as provided in Paragraph E-3, any such power may be delegated, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, to any other trustee then acting. A release or delegation shall be by written instrument filed with the records of each trust to which the release or delegation applies.

F. DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS F-1. Trust Estate. "Trust estate" means all assets, however and whenever acquired (including income and accumulated income), which may belong to a trust at any given time.

F-2. Descendants. "Descendants" means the legitimate children of the person or persons designated and the legitimate lineal descendants of such children, and includes any person adopted before becoming age 18 and the adopted person's descendants. A posthumous child shall be considered as living at the death of his parent. Whenever a distribution is to be made to the descendants of any person, the property to be distributed shall be divided into as many equal shares as there are living children of the person and deceased children of the person who left descendants who are then living. Each living child shall take one share and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among his then living descendants in the same manner. "Trusters' descendants" includes only those persons descended from both trustors.

F-3. Heirs. Any distribution to be made to the "heirs" of a person shall be made to the individuals who would have inherited the person's personal property if the person had died intestate at the time the distribution is to be made, domiciled in Texas and not married, under the laws of Texas in force on the effective date of this trust agreement, with the shares of taking determined by those laws. However, both trusters and any spouse of a trustor shall be deemed to have died prior to the time that any such distribution is to be made. A distribution to "trustors' heirs" shall be made to the heirs of Andy I. Weiner.

F-4. Internal Revenue Code. "Internal Revenue Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or corresponding provisions of any subsequent federal tax laws.

-7- EXHIBIT A F-5. Other Terms. The use of any gender includes the other genders, and the use of either the singular or the plural includes the other.

F-6. Spendthrift Provision. No beneficiary shall have the power to anticipate, encumber, or transfer his interest in any trust estate in any manner. No part of any trust estate shall be liable for or charged with any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of a beneficiary or subject to seizure or other process by any creditor of a beneficiary. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the otherwise valid exercise of a power of appointment or right of withdrawal given by this trust agreement.

F-7. Texas Law Applies. The situs of the trusts established under this trust agreement is Texas. Wherever possible, the laws of Texas shall apply to the construction, administration and validity of each trust.

F-8. Maximum Term of Trusts. No trust shall continue for a period longer than 21 years after the death of the last to die of trusters and all of trusters' descendants who are living on the effective date of this trust agreement. Any trust still in force at the end of such period shall terminate, and the trust estate shall be distributed to the beneficiary for whom the trust was established.

F-9. Powers of Appointment Exercisable by Beneficiaries. In exercising a power of appointment given to a beneficiary by this trust agreement, the beneficiary may appoint the property subject to the power outright to the appointee, in trust, or to a custodian for the appointee under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. If the beneficiary appoints to a custodian, he may select the custodian. If the beneficiary appoints in trust, he may select the trustee or trustees, may establish such administrative terms for the trust as he deems appropriate, and may impose lawful spendthrift restrictions. He may give the trustee discretionary powers over the income and principal, and may create a trust that has several permissible distributees. He may create life interests or other limited interests in some appointees with future interests in favor of other appointees, may appoint different types of interests among the appointees, and may create new powers of appointment in a trustee or trustees or in any appointee. He may impose lawful conditions on an appointment and,, in general, may appoint to or among the appointees in any lawful manner.

In determining whether, in what manner and to what extent a testamentary power of appointment has been exercised by a beneficiary, the trustee may act in reliance upon a court order admitting an instrument to probate as the beneficiary's last will or an order finding that the beneficiary died intestate. Unless within six months after the beneficiary's death the trustee has actual notice of the existence of proceedings to probate a will of the beneficiary, the trustee shall assume that the beneficiary died -8- intestate. The foregoing provisions are intended to expedite the prompt and efficient administration of the trust and to protect the trustee from any action taken or distribution made in accordance with these provisions. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or qualify any power of appointment given by this trust agreement or any right which an appointee or taker in default of appointment may have against any person receiving a distribution from the trustee irrespective of the place of probate or of the time of discovery of a will exercising the power or any other action taken in the beneficiary's estate.

G. ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE By signing this trust agreement, the trustee (i) accepts these trusts and all of the rights, powers and duties attached to the office of trustee as provided herein, (ii) agrees to serve as trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust and of any Contingent Trusts which may be established under this trust agreement, (iii) acknowledges receipt of the property described in Attachment A, and (iv) agrees to hold and administer each trust estate in accordance with the terms of this trust agreement.

This trust agreement is executed effective as of the 20th day of March, 1996.

EXHIBIT A FILED 12/1/2014 12:00:00 AM Stan Stanart County Clerk DM PROBATE COURT 4 Harris County

No. 425,576-401 IN RE: § IN THE PROBATE COURT § DANIEL STEVEN WEINER § NO. 4 § 1996 TRUST § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS PER IN ORIGINAL PETITION 12-1-2014 NOW COMES Daniel W. Warren (Daniel), Petitioner and Beneficiary of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust, and files this Original Petition pursuant to the Court’s Order (attached “Exhibit A”) granting his Motion to Sever his causes of action from Cause No. 425,577, In Re David Abraham Weiner 1996 Trust. Petitioner seeks removal of Andy I. Weiner as Trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust and damages for breach of fiduciary duty.

PARTIES 1. Daniel W. Warren, Petitioner, is an individual and Beneficiary of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust (Daniel’s Trust). Daniel W. Warren resides in Harris County, Texas at 1226 Muirfield, Houston, TX 77055. The last three digits of his driver’s license number are 996. The last three digits of his Social Security number are 039.

2. Andy I. Weiner, Respondent, is an individual acting as trustee of Daniel’s Trust. He appeared and answered as Respondent in Cause No. 425,577, from which this case was severed. Mr. Weiner currently resides at 111 Post Oak Blvd., Apartment 452, Houston, Texas 77056. He can be served through his attorney of record, Sarah Patel-Pacheco, Crain Caton & James, 1401 McKinney, 17th Floor, Houston, Texas 77010.

3. Katherine R. Warren, is an individual acting as trustee of Daniel’s Trust. She appeared and answered as a Respondent and Cross-Defendant in Cause No. 425,577 from which this case was severed. Petitioner released her of all liability in connection with her trusteeship EXHIBIT exhibitsticker.com

TAB L pursuant to Texas Property Code § 114.005 and on August 7, 2014, filed a Notice of Nonsuit against Ms. Warren in Cause No. 425,577, which applies to this case in the same manner as if it had been filed under this Cause No. 425,576-401.

DISCOVERY CONTROL PLAN 4. This case is subject to the discovery control plan and deadlines set out in the Agreed Docket Control Order dated August 27, 2014 relating to Cause No. 425,577.

VENUE 5. Venue of this proceeding is proper in this Court pursuant to Texas Property Code § 115.002(b).

FACTS 6. Daniel W. Warren is the sole beneficiary of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust (Daniel’s Trust), an irrevocable inter vivos trust created by Respondent Andy Weiner and Katherine Warren on March 20, 1996. A true and correct copy of the Trust Agreement is attached hereto as “Exhibit B” and is incorporated for all purposes. Although neither party has a signed copy of Daniel’s Trust Agreement, the parties have admitted the authenticity of the unsigned copy in pleadings and discovery.

7. Andy I. Weiner and Katherine R. Warren, are Trustors (settlors) and Trustees of Daniel’s Trust. Either trustee may serve alone if one of them should cease to act as trustee. [Paragraph D-1 of Daniel’s Trust Agreement].

8. The Trust Agreement grants the trustee discretion to make distributions for Daniel’s best interest, considering his age, the income and transfer tax effects, the cost of his support, maintenance, education, and comfort without regard to any other resources available to him

for these purposes, and any other factors the trustee deems relevant. [Paragraphs A-1 and C-2 of Daniel’s Trust Agreement].

9. However, no distributions can be made “to a trustor, to any spouse of a trustor, or in any manner that discharges a legal obligation (including an obligation of support) of a trustor or any spouse of a trustor. Any distribution under this paragraph shall be a full discharge of the trustee with respect thereto.” [Paragraph C-1 of the Trust Agreement].

10. Daniel’s Trust currently owns marketable securities worth approximately $108,043 as of September 30, 2014. The Trust assets came from a variety of sources, but primarily from Daniel’s grandparents who wrote checks payable to “Andy Weiner, Custodian for Daniel Weiner,” which Andy Weiner endorsed and deposited into Daniel’s Trust.

11. Daniel’s Trust Agreement provides that Daniel may withdraw the entire Trust corpus within 60 days after he becomes 21. To the extent Daniel does not exercise this withdrawal right, the Trust continues until Daniel becomes 30, or dies, whichever is earlier.

12. The Trust Agreement prohibits loans without adequate interest. It also prohibits loans to a trustor as follows: “No power granted the trustee shall be construed to enable any person to purchase, exchange, or otherwise deal with or dispose of any trust estate for less than an adequate consideration in money or money’s worth or to authorize loans to any person without adequate interest. No part of any trust estate may be (i) loaned to a trustor or to any spouse of a trustor….” [Paragraph E-3(a) of the Trust Agreement]. Andy Weiner admits that he read Paragraph E-3(a) before he borrowed the money. But he decided that “It was better to borrow money from this trust than go into bankruptcy.” [Deposition of Andy Weiner, Jan.

16, 2014, page 33, lines 13-16].

13. The Trust Agreement waives the trustee’s common law duty to diversify the Trust

investments by permitting the trustee to invest in “property of any description,” including “property unproductive of income, 1 shares of open or closed end investment trusts or companies, wasting assets, 2 and any other property, regardless of location and without regard to any requirement of diversification as to kind or amount.” [Paragraph E-1(a) of Daniel’s Trust Agreement].

14. However, the Trust Agreement does not waive the trustee’s duty to exercise judgment or the duty not to speculate with Trust assets under Texas Property Code § 113.056, which applied prior to January 1, 2004, as follows: Unless the terms of the trust instrument provide otherwise, in acquiring, investing, reinvesting, exchanging, retaining, selling, supervising, and managing trust property… a trustee shall exercise the judgment and care under the circumstances then prevailing that persons of ordinary prudence, discretion, and intelligence in the management of their own affairs, not in regard to speculation but in regard to the permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income from as well as the probable increase in value and safety of their capital.

15. Nor does the Trust Agreement waive the trustee’s duty to prudently invest the Trust assets and make them productive. Texas Property Code § 117.004(a) provides that: “A trustee shall invest and manage trust assets as a prudent investor would, by considering the purposes, terms, distribution requirements, and other circumstances of the trust.” Langford v. Shamburger, 417 S.W.2d 438, 444-445, n.r.e. (It is a breach of fiduciary duty to unreasonably delay the investment of trust funds).

“Property unproductive of income” is property that has with little or no income, but is expected to appreciate, such as raw land or growth oriented (low-yield) stocks. [Rest. 3rd, Trusts (Prudent Investor Rule § 227, cmts.]

“Wasting assets” are those that are overproductive of income, such as an oil well or coal deposit that depletes itself through use over time. [Rest. 3rd, Trusts (Prudent Investor Rule § 227, cmts.]

16. The Trust Agreement relieves the trustee of liability “for any act or omission except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or fraud. Specifically in assessing the propriety of any investment of a trust estate, the overall performance of the entire trust estate shall be taken into account.” [Paragraph D-3(b) of the Trust Agreement] This Paragraph does not excuse Andy Weiner for intentionally breaching his fiduciary duty. Nor could it, because Texas Property Code § 114.007(a) renders any term of a trust relieving a trustee of liability for an intentional breach of trust as unenforceable.

17. Andy Weiner began purchasing Weiners Stores Inc. stock for the Trust in 1999, shortly after it began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board in August 1998. OTC stocks do not meet the listing requirements of the national exchanges like NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ because they tend to be too small, closely held, thinly traded and risky.

18. Weiners Stores Inc. had just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 1997, had only 518 shareholders, and was trading at 12.5 cents to $1.50 a share in 1998 and 1999. 3 Its Annual Report filed with the SEC in April 1999 reported that its sales were sliding and it had not paid a dividend or had an operating profit in the last five years. Id. 19. Andy Weiner was aware that Weiners Stores Inc. was a risky investment. He was an executive officer of Weiners Stores Inc. for five to eight years before it filed for bankruptcy in 1995. [Andy Weiner Deposition, Jan. 16, 2014, p. 14, lines 1-17] Andy Weiner has a BA from Stanford and a Masters in Business from the University of Texas and is a retail shopping center developer. [Id. at p. 13, lines 16-25].

20. Andy Weiner made several purchases of Weiner Stores Inc. stock for the Trust in May,

Weiners Stores Inc. Annual Report - [X] Reg. S-K Item 405 - Form 10-K, available at http://www.secinfo.com/dRx61.68u.d.htm#6thPage.

June, and August 1999, spending $28,764 of Trust money. By August 31, 1999, he had accumulated 52,000 shares of Weiners Stores Inc. stock in the Trust, which was over 65 percent of its value. Intentionally placing such a large percentage of the Trust’s assets at a risk of total loss was grossly negligent. [Dolan v. Dolan, 2009 Tex. App.-Houston Lexis 4487 (The trustee, an experienced businessman, was grossly negligent and ordered to pay exemplary damages for placing nearly half the trust assets at risk of total loss.)]

21. Weiner Stores Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy again in October 2000. It announced that it was closing all of its stores in June 2001. Andy Weiner sold the Trust’s 52,000 shares in December 2001 for $2, resulting in a complete loss of the Trust’s $28,762 investment. Weiners Stores Inc. converted to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy six months later.

22. During the three years that Daniel’s Trust funds were invested in Weiners Stores Inc. stock, Daniel’s Trust lost over 12 percent of its portfolio value each year. Investing in Weiners Stores Inc. was grossly negligent based on the “overall performance of the entire trust estate,” which is the standard set forth in the Trust Agreement by which the propriety of an investment will be evaluated.

23. On March 30, 2009, Andy Weiner liquidated the Trust’s entire portfolio and on April 9, 2009 he knowingly and intentionally instructed Fidelity to transfer $90,959.38 to his own personal account at Fidelity. This left $1,000 in the Trust, with no promissory note, no interest, and no security for the $90,959.38 loan to Andy Weiner, who was “on the edge of bankruptcy.” Andy Weiner knew that making the loan to himself was directly contrary to the Trust Agreement and that it would place the entire Trust portfolio at risk of loss by making an unsecured loan to a person on the edge of bankruptcy. [Dolan v. Dolan, 2009 Tex. App.-

Houston Lexis 4487 (The trustee was found to be grossly negligent and ordered to pay exemplary damages for loaning himself half the trust funds without interest or security.)]

24. On July 10, 2010, Andy Weiner repaid $90,959.38 to Daniel’s Trust without interest.

Thereafter, he purposely delayed reinvesting the Trust money for 26 months until September 2012 when he finally invested the funds 51 percent in Fidelity Spartan 500 Index Fund (FUSEX), 31 percent in Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX), and 18 percent in Fidelity Total Bond Fund (FTBFX).

25. Had Andy Weiner invested Daniel’s Trust funds on April 9, 2009 in the same funds and percentages as he purchased for the Trust in September 2012, Daniel’s Trust would have earned $67,901 from April 9, 2009 to September 11, 2012. Yet the Trust earned less than $100 during this same time period. In fact, since its inception in 1996, Daniel’s Trust lost an average of -1.167 percent per year. Based on the “overall performance of Daniel’s entire trust estate,” it was grossly negligent not to invest Daniel’s Trust money from April 9, 2009 to September 11, 2012.

26. Failing to invest the Trust assets was also bad faith because Andy Weiner had an improper motive for not investing the money. He planned to use the trust funds for his own “personal spending,” according to an email he wrote to Katherine in 2011 stating that he was ready to consider investing the kid’s trust funds because “If we sell the Tractor’s in the near term, we would not need their funds for our personal spending.” [Robson v. Gilbreath, 267 S.W.3d 401, 407 (Tex. App.—Austin 2008, pet. denied) (“Improper motive is an essential element of bad faith.”); In re Hubberd Testamentary Trust, 432 S.W.3d 358, 369 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2014) ("Bad faith is not simply bad judgment or negligence, but means the conscious doing of a wrong for dishonest, discriminatory, or malicious purpose.").

27. Daniel W. Warren did not discover Andy Weiner’s breaches of fiduciary duty until discovery began in Cause No. 425,577. Daniel was a minor when the borrowings and imprudent investing occurred. The period of limitations does not begin to run against a person entitled to bring an action for breach of fiduciary duty while the person is under 18 years old. [Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 16.001, 16.004.] Daniel W. Warren became age on March 11, 2014 and is thus within the limitations period for bringing this action.

28. On December 19, 2013, Daniel W. Warren, through his attorney, demanded an accounting of his Trust under Texas Property Code § 113.151-152. Andy Weiner has not yet provided one.

CAUSES OF ACTION 29. Daniel W. Warren incorporates by reference each and every allegation contained in the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.

30. There is a real and justiciable controversy between Daniel W. Warren and Andy Weiner concerning Andy Weiner’s actions as trustee of Daniel’s Trust.

31. Andy Weiner has knowingly, intentionally, and with gross negligence breached his fiduciary duties in the following manner, resulting in a material loss to the Trust: a. By knowingly and intentionally exposing over 65 percent of Daniel’s Trust funds to an extreme degree of risk by investing in Weiner Stores Inc., a highly speculative unlisted penny stock with no earnings or dividend history, resulting in a complete loss of the $28,762 investment, plus any future earnings it could have made, in violation of the duty to prudently invest the Trust assets without speculation under the Texas Property Code § 113.056 as it applied prior to January 1, 2004, resulting in a material loss to the Trust;

b. By knowingly and intentionally instructing Fidelity to transfer nearly all of Daniel’s Trust funds to Andy Weiner’s own personal account at Fidelity on April 9, 2009, in violation of the Trust Agreement, which expressly forbids “loans to a trustor or any spouse of a trustor” and “loans to any person without adequate interest” [Paragraph E-3(a) of the Trust Agreement], which Andy Weiner read before he transferred the money to himself, resulting in a material loss to the Trust; c. By knowingly and intentionally instructing Fidelity to transfer nearly all of Daniel’s Trust funds to Andy Weiner’s own personal account at Fidelity on April 9, 2009 in violation of the Trust Agreement Paragraph C-1, which expressly forbids “distributions to a trustor, or in any manner that discharges a legal obligation (including an obligation of support) of a trustor or any spouse of a trustor,” resulting in a material loss to the Trust; d. By failing to compensate Daniel’s Trust for Andy Weiner’s personal use of $90,959.38 belonging to the Trust, resulting in a material loss to the Trust; e. By knowingly and intentionally putting his own interest above the beneficiary’s by using Daniel’s Trust funds as Andy Weiner’s own money, in violation of the duty of loyalty under Texas Trust Code § 117.007, the duty not to profit by self-dealing with the Trust under Texas Trust Code § 114.0001(a), and the duty to segregate trust assets under Restatement of the Law Third (Trusts) § 179, resulting in a material loss to the Trust; f. By knowingly, intentionally, and with bad faith failing to invest Daniel’s Trust funds from April 9, 2009 to September 11, 2012 in violation of the duty to prudently invest the Trust assets under Texas Property Code § 117.004 and the duty of loyalty under Texas Property Code § 117.007, resulting in a material loss to the Trust;

g. By refusing to render an accounting after written demand by Daniel W.

Warren on December 19, 2013 in violation of the duty to account under Texas Trust Code §§ 113.151 and 113.152.

32. Daniel and his Trust have suffered substantial economic damages as a direct result of Andy Weiner’s gross negligence and material breaches of fiduciary duty enumerated above.

33. Removal of Andy Weiner as Trustee is necessary to prevent further harm to the Trust.

RELIEF REQUESTED WHEREFORE, Daniel W. Warren respectfully requests: 34. Judgment against Andy Weiner for a sum within the jurisdictional limits of the Court.

35. Monetary relief of over $200,000 but not more than $1,000,000.

That Andy Weiner be ordered to pay Daniel’s Trust exemplary damages of greater than two times the Trust’s economic damages based his knowing, intentional, and reckless dealing with Trust property worth over $20,000 in a manner that is contrary to the Trust Agreement and the Texas Property Code, and involved a substantial risk of loss to the Trust. [Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.008(b), 41.008(c)(10); Tex. Penal Code § 32.45].

39. That Daniel W. Warren be awarded reasonable and necessary attorney fees, costs, and expenses through trial and all appeals under applicable Texas law, including but not limited to Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 38.001 and Texas Property Code §§ 114.064 and 113.151(a).

40. That Andy Weiner be ordered to submit an accounting that meets the requirements of Texas Property Code § 113.152 and personally bear the cost of the accounting pursuant to Texas Property Code § 113.151.

41. That Daniel’s Trust be modified pursuant to Texas Property Code § 112.054(a)(3) to appoint Daniel Warren as co-Trustee with Katherine Warren, or alternatively to terminate the Trust and distribute the funds to Daniel Warren.

42. That Daniel W. Warren and his Trust be awarded prejudgment and post judgment interest at the rate of 5 percent as provided by the Texas Finance Code § 304.003(c), or as otherwise appropriate.

PRAYER WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Daniel W. Warren prays that the Court grant the requested relief and such further relief to which Daniel W. Warren and his Trust are justly entitled.

Alternatively, the trustee may otherwise apply all or a part of the distribution for the beneficiary's benefit. However, no such distribution shall be made to a trustor, to any spouse of a trustor, or in any manner that discharges a legal obligation (including an obligation of support) of a trustor or any spouse of a trustor. Any distribution under this paragraph shall be a full discharge of the trustee with respect thereto. c-2. Best Interests of Beneficiary.

A posthumous child shall be considered as living at the death of his parent.

Each living child shall take one share and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among his then living descendants in the same manner. "Trusters' descendants" includes only those persons descended from both trusters.

F-3. Heirs. Any distribution to be made to the "heirs" of a person shall be made to the individuals who would have inherited the person's personal property if the person had died intestate at the time the distribution is to be made, domiciled in Texas and not married, under the laws of Texas in force on the effective date of this trust agreement, with the shares of taking determined by those laws. However, both trusters and any spouse of a trustor shall be deemed to have died prior to the time that any such distribution is to be made. A distribution to "trusters' heirs" shall be made to the heirs of Andy I. Weiner.

F-4. Internal Revenue Code. "Internal Revenue Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or corresponding provisions of any subsequent federal tax laws.

-7- F-5. Other Terms. The use of any gender includes the other genders, and the use of either the singular or the plural includes the other.

F-6. Spendthrift Provision. No beneficiary shall have the power to anticipate, encumber, or transfer his interest in any trust estate in any manner.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the otherwise valid exercise of a power of appointment or right of withdrawal given by this trust agreement.

F-7. Texas Law Applies. The situs of the trusts established under this trust agreement is Texas. Wherever possible, the laws of Texas shall apply to the construction, administration and validity of each trust.

F-8. Maximum Term of Trusts.

Any trust still in force at the end of such period shall terminate, and the trust estate shall be distributed to the beneficiary for whom the trust was established.

F-9. Powers of Appointment Exercisable by Beneficiaries. In exercising a power of appointment given to a beneficiary by this trust agreement, the beneficiary may appoint the property subject to the power outright to the appointee, in trust, or to a custodian for the appointee under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. If the beneficiary appoints to a custodian, he may select the custodian. If the beneficiary appoints in trust, he may select the trustee or trustees, may establish such administrative terms for the trust as he deems appropriate, and may impose lawful spendthrift restrictions. He may give the trustee discretionary powers over the income and principal, and may create a trust that has several permissible distributees. He may create life interests or other limited interests in some appointees with future interests in favor of other appointees, may appoint different types of interests among the appointees, and may create new powers of appointment in a trustee or trustees or in any appointee. He may impose lawful conditions on an appointment and,, in general, may appoint to or among the appointees in any lawful manner.

In determining whether, in what manner and to what extent a testamentary power of appointment has been exercised by a beneficiary, the trustee may act in reliance upon a court order admitting an instrument to probate as the beneficiary's last will or an order finding that the beneficiary died intestate. Unless within six months after the beneficiary's death the trustee has actual notice of the existence of proceedings to probate a will of the beneficiary, the trustee shall assume that the beneficiary died -8- intestate. The foregoing provisions are intended to expedite the prompt and efficient administration of the trust and to protect the trustee from any action taken or distribution made in accordance with these provisions. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or qualify any power of appointment given by this trust agreement or any right which an appointee or taker in default of appointment may have against any person receiving a distribution from the trustee irrespective of the place of probate or of the time of discovery of a will exercising the power or any other action taken in the beneficiary's estate.

G. ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE By signing this trust agreement, the trustee (i) accepts these trusts and all of the rights, powers and duties attached to the office of trustee as provided herein, (ii) agrees to serve as trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust and of any Contingent Trusts which may be established under this trust agreement, (iii) acknowledges receipt of the property described in Attachment A, and (iv) agrees to hold and administer each trust estate in accordance with the terms of this trust agreement.

This trust agreement is executed effective as of the 20th day of March, 1996.

Any portion of a trust estate upon the trusts termination (other than a portion withdrawn by Daniel pursuant to Paragraph A-2) which would be distributable to a beneficiary who is under age 30 or to a beneficiary who is under a legal disability instead shall be distributed to the trustee of a Contingent Trust (unless otherwise directed by the valid exercise of a power of appointment) . Each beneficiary's portion so distributed shall be held and administered as the initial trust estate of a separate trust for the beneficiary. However, if a Contingent Trust is already in existence for that beneficiary, any additional portion to be distributed to the trustee of a Contingent Trust for the beneficiary shall be added to the trust estate of the existing contingent Trust.

B-2. Distributions. The income of each Contingent Trust may be accumulated and retained, in whole or in part, or the trustee may distribute to the beneficiary for whom the trust was established, from time to time, so much or all of the trust estate as, in the trustee's discretion, is in the beneficiary's best interests.

B-3. Termination. Each Contingent Trust shall terminate when the beneficiary for whom the trust was established has become age 30 and is under no legal disability or upon the beneficiary's earlier death. Upon termination, the trust estate shall be distributed: (a) To the beneficiary.

(b) If the beneficiary is not then living, to such one or more persons, corporations or organizations as the beneficiary appoints by a will which specifically refers to this power of appointment. If none of the beneficiary's descendants is then living, this power may not be exercised in favor of the beneficiary, the beneficiary's estate, the beneficiary's creditors or the creditors of the beneficiary's estate. If or to the extent that the beneficiary does not effectively exercise this power of appointment, the trust estate shall be distributed: (1) To the beneficiary's descendants.

-2- (2) If none of the beneficiary's descendants is then living, to the descendants of the beneficiary's nearest ancestor who was one of trustors' descendants and who has descendants then living. (3) If none of these persons is then living, to trusters, descendants. ( 4) If none of trusters' descendants is then living, to trusters' heirs.

C. DISTRIBUTIONS c-1. Distributions to or for Beneficiaries. During the term of a trust, any distribution to be made to a beneficiary from the trust may be made (i) to the beneficiary, (ii) if the beneficiary is under a legal disability or if the trustee determines that the beneficiary is unable to properly manage his affairs, to a person furnishing support, maintenance or education for the beneficiary or with whom the beneficiary is residing, for expenditure on the beneficiary's behalf, or (iii) to a custodian for a minor beneficiary, as selected by the trustee, under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. Alternatively, the trustee may otherwise apply all or a part of the distribution for the beneficiary's benefit. However, no such distribution shall be made to a trustor, to any spouse of a trustor, or in any manner that discharges a legal obligation (including an obligation of support) of a trustor or any spouse of a trustor. Any distribution under this paragraph shall be a full discharge of the trustee with respect thereto. c-2. Best Interests of Beneficiary. In making distributions in the "best interests" of a beneficiary, the trustee may consider the age of the beneficiary, the costs of the beneficiary's support, maintenance, education and comfort without regard to any other resources available to the beneficiary for these purposes, the effect of any distribution upon the income and transfer tax liability of the beneficiary or of the trust, and any other factors deemed relevant by the trustee.

D. OFFICE OF TRUSTEE D-1. Successor Trustee, Co-Trustee. The following provisions shall apply to each separate trust established under this trust agreement: (a) Successor Trustee. Should Andy I. Weiner or Katherine Friedman Weiner cease to act as trustee, for any reason, the one remaining shall continue to act as trustee. Should both Andy I.

Weiner and Katherine Friedman Weiner cease to act as trustees, for any reason, trustors appoint Bayle Weiner Drubel as successor trustee.

-3- (b) Appointment of Successor Trustee by Trustee. At any time after qualifying as trustee, any trustee may appoint a successor trustee to act in his place, either immediately or in the future upon any stated contingency, and may thereby supplement the provisions of subparagraph (a). (c) Appointment of Successor Trustee by Beneficiaries. If at any time there is no trustee acting and none has been appointed, a majority of the beneficiaries (acting through the beneficiary's natural or legal guardian or legal representative, in the case of a beneficiary under a legal disability) who might then be entitled to receive a distribution from the trust estate shall appoint a successor trustee. (d) Appointment of Co-Trustee. The trustee (acting unanimously if more than one) may appoint one or more co-trustees. (e) Who May Be Appointed. A successor trustee or co-trustee may be any individual, bank or trust company and may be domiciled anywhere. (f) Procedure for Appointment. Appointment shall be made by written instrument filed with the trust records. Any such appointment may be changed or revoked prior to the date it becomes effective. Any such appointment may be limited in any manner deemed advisable by the person making the appointment, including, for example, restricting the power over distributions as necessary to avoid the imposition of any tax upon the trust, the appointee or the appointee's estate.

D-2. Resignation of Trustee. A trustee may resign from a trust without the necessity of any court proceeding upon meeting these conditions: (a) Notice. At least 30 days' written notice (if not waived) shall be given to each beneficiary who might then be entitled to receive a distribution from the trust estate. If a beneficiary is under a legal disability, notice shall be given to (or waived by) the beneficiary's natural or legal guardian. (b) Accounting. If and to the extent required by the successor trustee, an accounting for the administration of the trust shall be given to the successor trustee. The successor trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon such accounting.

D-3. Rights and Liabilities.

(a) Bond Not Required. No bond or other security shall be required of any trustee.

(b) Liabilities. This agreement shall always be construed in

-4- favor of the validity of any act by or omission of any trustee. A trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or fraud. Specifically, in assessing the propriety of any investment of a trust estate, the overall performance of the entire trust estate shall be taken into account.

(c) Compensation. Each trustee shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for services actually rendered to a trust.

E. ADMINISTRATION E-1. General Powers of Trustee. To carry out the trust purposes but subject to any limitations stated elsewhere herein, the trustee of each trust shall have the following powers, which may be exercised free from court supervision, and which shall exist until all of the trust estate has been distributed: (a) Trust Estate. The trustee may invest and reinvest all or any part of the trust estate in property of any description and may retain as a part of the trust estate any property acquired at any time and in any manner. Specifically, and without regard to the provisions of any applicable state law, the trustee may retain, or invest and reinvest in, property unproductive of income, shares of open or closed end investment trusts or companies, wasting assets, and any other property, regardless of location and without regard to any requirement of diversification as to kind or amount.

(b) Business Interests. The trustee may continue operation of any business entity, in any business form, with all or any part of the trust estate, and may reorganize or liquidate any such entity at any time.

(c) Transfers, Loans. The trustee may lease, sell, transfer, or encumber in any manner {including with purchase money mortgages) all or any part of the trust estate, and may loan or borrow money in any manner {including by joint and several obligations) with or without security. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph E-3{a), the trustee may purchase assets from the estate of a trustor and may loan funds to the estate of a trustor at such rate of interest and with such security as the trustee determines to be in the best interests of the current beneficiaries of the trust.

{d) Dealings With Related Parties. The trustee may deal with any person or entity regardless of any relationship or identity of any trustee to or with that person or entity and may hold or invest all or any part of the trust estate in common or undivided interests with that person or entity.

(e) Agents, Employees. The trustee may employ and compensate agents and other employees ~nd may delegate to them any and all discretions and powers.

-5- (f) Partitions, Distributions. The trustee may partition all or any part of any interest, may pay and receive such moneys or properties as may be necessary to equalize differences, and in so doing (i) may make any distribution of all or any part of the trust estate in any manner (including composing shares differently) and (ii) may evaluate any property, which valuation shall be binding on all beneficiaries. (g) Claims, Controversies. The trustee may maintain and defend any claim or controversy by or against the trust without the joinder or consent of any beneficiary. (h) Additional Powers. In addition, the trustee shall have all rights, privileges and powers now or hereafter granted to trustees in Texas, including those granted under the Texas Trust Code. Any subsequent legislation or regulation expanding or limiting the rights, privileges and powers granted a trustee shall apply to all trusts hereunder unless the trustee elects not to have such legislation or regulation apply to a particular trust by a written instrument filed with the trust records. However, the provisions made for the various beneficiaries under this trust agreement are exclusive. Any statute that purports to enlarge the class of beneficiaries to whom distributions may be made or the purposes for which distributions may be made shall not apply to any trust. All trust powers may be exercised upon such terms as the trustee deems advisable and may affect trust properties for any length of time regardless of the duration of the trust. Generally, and subject only to the terms of this trust agreement, the trustee shall hold, manage, control, use, invest, reinvest, and dispose of the trust estate to the same extent as if the trustee were the fee simple owner thereof.

E-2. Principal and Income Determinations. The receipts, disbursements and reserves of each trust may be allocated, on a cash or accrual basis, between principal and income in the trustee's discretion without regard to the provisions of any statute. To the extent the trustee does not exercise this discretionary power, the provisions of the Texas Trust Code shall control.

E-3. Restrictions on the Exercise of Certain Powers. (a) Dealings with Trust Estate. No power granted the trustee shall be construed to enable any person to purchase, exchange, or otherwise deal with or dispose of any trust estate for less than an adequate consideration in money or money's worth or to authorize loans to any person without adequate interest. No part of any trust estate may be (i) loaned to a trustor or to any spouse of a trustor or (ii) applied to the payment of premiums on policies of insurance on the life of a trustor or on the life of any spouse of a trustor.

-6- (b) Distributions to or for Trustee. Any power to make discretionary distributions to or for the benefit of a person who is serving as trustee of a trust (including distributions to the person's spouse and distributions in discharge of any legal obligation of the person) shall be exercisable solely by the trustee or trustees other than that person. If no other trustee is then serving, such power shall not be exercisable.

E-4. Release and Delegations of Powers. Any power granted to a trustee may be released, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently. Except as provided in Paragraph E-3, any such power may be delegated, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, to any other trustee then acting. A release or delegation shall be by written instrument filed with the records of each trust to which the release or delegation applies.

F. DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS F-1. Trust Estate. "Trust estate" means all assets, however and whenever acquired (including income and accumulated income), which may belong to a trust at any given time.

F-2. Descendants. "Descendants" means the legitimate children of the person or persons designated and the legitimate lineal descendants of such children, and includes any person adopted before becoming age 18 and the adopted person's descendants. A posthumous child shall be considered as living at the death of his parent. Whenever a distribution is to be made to the descendants of any person, the property to be distributed shall be divided into as many equal shares as there are living children of the person and deceased children of the person who left descendants who are then living. Each living child shall take one share and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among his then living descendants in the same manner. "Trusters' descendants" includes only those persons descended from both trusters.

F-3. Heirs. Any distribution to be made to the "heirs" of a person shall be made to the individuals who would have inherited the person's personal property if the person had died intestate at the time the distribution is to be made, domiciled in Texas and not married, under the laws of Texas in force on the effective date of this trust agreement, with the shares of taking determined by those laws. However, both trusters and any spouse of a trustor shall be deemed to have died prior to the time that any such distribution is to be made. A distribution to "trusters' heirs" shall be made to the heirs of Andy I. Weiner.

F-4. Internal Revenue Code. "Internal Revenue Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or corresponding provisions of any subsequent federal tax laws.

-7- F-5. Other Terms. The use of any gender includes the other genders, and the use of either the singular or the plural includes the other.

F-6. Spendthrift Provision. No beneficiary shall have the power to anticipate, encumber, or transfer his interest in any trust estate in any manner. No part of any trust estate shall be liable for or charged with any debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of a beneficiary or subject to seizure or other process by any creditor of a beneficiary. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the otherwise valid exercise of a power of appointment or right of withdrawal given by this trust agreement.

F-7. Texas Law Applies. The situs of the trusts established under this trust agreement is Texas. Wherever possible, the laws of Texas shall apply to the construction, administration and validity of each trust.

F-8. Maximum Term of Trusts. No trust shall continue for a period longer than 21 years after the death of the last to die of trustors and all of trustors' descendants who are living on the effective date of this trust agreement. Any trust still in force at the end of such period shall terminate, and the trust estate shall be distributed to the beneficiary for whom the trust was established.

F-9. Powers of Appointment Exercisable by Beneficiaries. In exercising a power of appointment given to a beneficiary by this trust agreement, the beneficiary may appoint the property subject to the power outright to the appointee, in trust, or to a custodian for the appointee under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state. If the beneficiary appoints to a custodian, he may select the custodian. If the beneficiary appoints in trust, he may select the trustee or trustees, may establish such administrative terms for the trust as he deems appropriate, and may impose lawful spendthrift restrictions. He may give the trustee discretionary powers over the income and principal, and may create a trust that has several permissible distributees. He may create life interests or other limited interests in some appointees with future interests in favor of other appointees, may appoint different types of interests among the appointees, and may create new powers of appointment in a trustee or trustees or in any appointee. He may impose lawful conditions on an appointment and,, in general, may appoint to or among the appointees in any lawful manner.

In determining whether, in what manner and to what extent a testamentary power of appointment has been exercised by a beneficiary, the trustee may act in reliance upon a court order admitting an instrument to probate as the beneficiary's last will or an order finding that the beneficiary died intestate. Unless within six months after the beneficiary's death the trustee has actual notice of the existence of proceedings to probate a will of the beneficiary, the trustee shall assume that the beneficiary died -8- intestate. The foregoing provisions are intended to expedite the prompt and efficient administration of the trust and to protect the trustee from any action taken or distribution made in accordance with these provisions. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or qualify any power of appointment given by this trust agreement or any right which an appointee or taker in default of appointment may have against any person receiving a distribution from the trustee irrespective of the place of probate or of the time of discovery of a will exercising the power or any other action taken in the beneficiary's estate.

G. ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE By signing this trust agreement, the trustee (i) accepts these trusts and all of the rights, powers and duties attached to the office of trustee as provided herein, (ii) agrees to serve as trustee of the Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust and of any Contingent Trusts which may be established under this trust agreement, (iii) acknowledges receipt of the property described in Attachment A, and (iv) agrees to hold and administer each trust estate in accordance with the terms of this trust agreement.

PROBATE COURT 4 NO. 425,577 INRE: § IN PROBATE COURT § DAVID ABRAHAM WEINER § NUMBER FOUR (4) OF § 1994 TRUST § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS ANDY WEINER'S SECOND AMENDED CROSS-CLAIMS AGAINST KATHERINE WARREN F/K/A KATHERINE WEINER TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Andy Weiner ("Mr. Weiner") files the following Second Amended Cross-Claim Against Katherine F. Warren f/k/a Katherine Weiner ("Ms. Warren"), and, in support thereof, respectfully shows the following: I.

Overview 1. Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are co-trustees of the David Abraham Weiner 1994 Trust ("David's Trust"). Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are likewise co-trustees of the Daniel Stephen Weiner 1996 Trust ("Daniel's Trust"). As such, Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are jointly responsible for the administration and liabilities of David's Trust and Daniel's Trust (collectively, the "Trusts"), if any.

2. Accordingly, Mr. Weiner files the following cross-claims against Ms. Warren: a. Contribution; b. Breaches of Fiduciary Duty; c. Removal of Trustee; and d. Tortious Interference with Administration.

II.

Factual Background 3. On December 13, 1994, Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren established David's Trust for the benefit of their then-minor son, David. See David Abraham Weiner 1994 Trust agreement, EXHIBIT exhibitsticker.com 092865/000002 -1273851vl TAB M attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference. The irrevocable trust agreement provides that David is the primary beneficiary and Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are the co- trustees.

4. On March 11, 1996, Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren established Daniel's Trust for the benefit of their then-minor son, Daniel S. Weiner ("Daniel"). See Daniel Steven Weiner 1996 Trust, attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by this reference. The irrevocable trust agreement provides that Daniel is the primary beneficiary and Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are the original co-trustees. Exhibit B.

5. Both David's Trust agreement and Daniel's Trust agreement specifically provide that: a. Ms. Warren and Mr. Weiner are to act jointly as co-trustees; b. A trustee shall not be held liable for any act or omission, except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or fraud; and c. The overall performance of the Trust shall be taken into account when assessing the propriety of any investment of the Trust.

See Exhibits A and B.

6. Additionally, the agreements of the Trusts grant Ms. Warren and Mr. Weiner, as co- trustees of the Trusts, the general powers to: (i) invest and reinvest the Trust assets ; (ii) lease, sell, transfer or encumber, in any manner, all or any part of the Trust 2 ; and (iii) loan or borrow money from the Trust, in any manner. 3 7. Ms. Warren and David's original lawsuit, filed solely against Mr. Weiner, sought an order from this Court to either distribute David's Trust funds to David free of trust or, alternatively, to award Ms. Warren sole and exclusive control over a new account (a Uniform Transfers to Minors Act account created for David's benefit), even though the Trust agreement

Exhibit A§ E-l(c); Exhibit B § E·l(a).

Exhibit A§ E-l(c); Exhibit B § E-l(a).

092865/000002 376- 127385lvl and the Divorce Decree provide otherwise. In the original Petition, Ms. Warren and David stated that Ms. Warren would submit an accounting and sought her discharge from any liabilities relating to the Trust.

8. Since originally filed, counsel for Ms. Warren and David has filed an amended petition that now names only David as the Petitioner, ·and Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren as Respondents.

In the amended petition, David instead sought to be his own trustee.

9. David testified in his partial deposition that he is not aware of any breaches of trust by either Mr. Weiner or Ms. Warren. Irrespective of this testimony under oath, David filed yet another amended petition asserting various claims solely against Mr. Weiner, even though both Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren have served as co-trustees since the inception of David's Trust.

10. Since the filing of David's second amended petition, Daniel, David's younger brother, filed an original petition in intervention in this proceeding.

II. As co-trustees of the Trust, Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren are jointly responsible for the administration of the Trust. Accordingly, in the event damages are assessed against Mr. Weiner due to his role as co-trustee of David's Trust and/or Daniel's Trust, Ms. Warren is responsible for 50% of those damages, in addition to 50% of Mr. Weiner's attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending this action.

III.

Cross-Claims Against Katherine Warren 12. Mr. Weiner incorporates by reference the factual allegations contained within the preceding Paragraphs 1 through 11.

Mr. Weiner does not concede that Daniel has standing to bring any claims against Mr. Weiner in this proceeding nor does Mr. Weiner agree with Daniel's alleged legal basis to intervene in the above-referenced proceeding.

092865/000002 376- 127385lvl A. Cross-Claim for Contribution.

13. In David's Second Amended Petition, he seeks to hold Mr. Weiner liable for breaches of fiduciary duty in his capacity as David's Trust. See Second Amended Petition at ~14, on file with this Court.

14. Likewise, in Daniel's Petition in Intervention, Daniel seeks to hold Mr. Weiner liable for breaches of fiduciary duty in his capacity as co-trustee of Daniel's Trust. See Petition in Intervention at ~34, on file with this Court.

15. It is undisputed that Mr. Weiner and Ms. Warren were named as initial co-trustees of both David's Trust and Daniel's Trust. Pursuant to Texas Property (Trust) Code, co-trustees are to act jointly in administering the Trust. TEX. PROP. CODE § 113.085. Ms. Warren has failed to jointly administer the Trusts with Mr. Weiner.

16. Further, Ms. Warren has failed to delegate her powers or duties as co-trustee of the Trusts to Mr. Weiner. Pursuant to Texas Property (Trust) Code Section 113.085(c): (c) A co-trustee shall participate in the performance of a trustee's function unless the co-trustee: ( 1) is unavailable to perform the function because of absence, illness, disqualification under other law, or other temporary incapacity; or (2) has delegated the performance of the function to another trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust or applicable law, has communicated the delegation to all other co-trustees, and has filed the delegation in the records of the trust.

TEX. PROP. CODE§ 113.085 (c) (emphasis added).

17. And, the Trusts expressly provide that a co-trustee may only release or delegate her powers as follows: E-4. Release and Delegations of Powers. Any power granted to a trustee may be released, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently. Except as provided in Paragraph E-3, any such power may be delegated, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, to any other trustee then acting. A

092865/000002 376- 127385Jvl 1:0 release or delegation shall be by written instrument filed with the records of each trust to which the release or delegation applies.

See Exhibit A § E-4 (emphasis added); Exhibit B § E-4 (emphasis added).

18. Ms. Warren never communicated any intent to delegate her co-trustee duties to Mr. Weiner nor has she filed a written instrument delegating or releasing any powers to Mr. Weiner, as required by the terms of the Trusts. In short, there is no evidence that Ms. Warren has delegated the performance of her co-trustee functions to Mr. Weiner. TEX. PROP. CODE § 113.085(c)(2).

19. Mr. Weiner seeks to hold Ms. Warren responsible for 50% of any liabilities assessed against the Trusts and/or him relating to the actions sought by any beneficiary, including, but not limited to, holding Ms. Warren liable for 50% of the attorneys' fees, accountant fees, and costs incurred by Mr. Weiner as a result ofthe above-referenced litigation.

20. Thus, pursuant to Section 33.016 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, Mr. Weiner asserts a contribution claim against Ms. Warren for any liability that may be imposed on him pursuant to the breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by David and/or Daniel in the instant litigation.

B. Cross-Claim for Breaches of Fiduciary Duty.

21. Ms. Warren, as co-trustee, serves in various fiduciary capacities for David and Daniel.

Trustees are held to a "very high and very strict standard of conduct which equity demands".

Slay v. Burnett's Trust, 187 S.W.2d 377,387-88 (Tex. 1945).

22. _ As a fiduciary and co-trustee of the Trusts, Ms. Warren has breached the following duties: a. Duty of loyalty; b. Duty of competence; c. Duty of competence by failing to administer the Trusts pursuant to their terms;

092865/000002 376- 1273851v1 d. Duty of full disclosure; e. Duty to act with integrity of the strictest kind; f. Duty to act with due diligence; g. Duty to exercise reasonable discretion; and h. Duty to act as a reasonably prudent person.

23. Ms. Warren breached her fiduciary duties, which resulted in injury.

24. Thus, in accordance with recognized principles of fiduciary law, Mr. Weiner seeks an award of actual damages and, since Ms. Warren's conduct was intentional, punitive damages.

c. Cross-Claim for the Removal of Ms. Warren as Trustee.

25. Ms. Warren, through her hostile actions and position of influence, has turned both Daniel and David against their father, Mr. Weiner. Despite Mr. Weiner's valiant attempts, Ms. Warren has failed and refused to engage with Mr. Weiner to administer the Trusts.

26. By these acts, Ms. Warren has created a hostile environment for David, Daniel and Mr. Weiner.

27. Accordingly, Mr. Weiner files this cross-claim for the removal of Ms. Warren as trustee of the Trusts.

D. Cross-Claim for Tortious Interference with Administration.

28. Through her actions, Ms. Warren has tortiously interfered with Mr. Weiner's ability to properly administer the Trusts. Ms. Warren has interfered with the administration of the Trusts by initiating unnecessary litigious proceedings against Mr. Weiner, by and through David and Daniel, and continuously failing to act in the best interests of David and Daniel, to the detriment ofMr. Weiner.

29. Such acts have proximately caused and prevented and interfered with the ability of Mr. Weiner to properly administer Decedent's Estate.

092865/000002 376- 1273851vl ..

30. Ms. Warren's acts have resulted in the incurrence of unnecessary expenses, damages or loss to the Trusts, for which recovery from her is proper in an amount within the jurisdictional c~.o limits of the Court.

31. Mr. Weiner seeks actual and punitive damages for Ms. Warren's tortious interference with administration and for her intentional and malicious conduct.

IV.

Damages and Other Relief Requested 32. Mr. Weiner re-alleges and incorporates by reference the foregoing background allegations and causes of action in support of the damages sought below.

A. Actual Damages.

33. Based on the acts and occurrences set forth in the preceding paragraphs, Ms. Warren breached her fiduciary duties, proximately causing significant loss to the Trusts and actual damages to the Trusts.

34. As a result of Ms. Warren's breaches of fiduciary duties, tortious interference with administration, and bad acts constituting her removal as trustee of the Trusts, which were the proximate cause of damages to Mr. Weiner and the Trusts, Mr. Weiner is entitled to damages from Ms. Warren.

B. Punitive Damages.

35. As a result of Ms. Warren's intentional and willful breaches of fiduciary duty and tortious interference with administration, Mr. Weiner seeks punitive damages from Ms. Warren.

C. Additional Relief Sought.

36. Mr. Weiner is entitled to pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and costs of court in all amounts awarded hereunder as allowed by law. He specifically sues for recovery of pre- judgment and post-judgment interest and recovery of costs of court under the applicable

092865/000002 376- 1273851v1 provisions ofthe laws ofthe State ofTexas.

37. With regard to claims by David and/or related to David's Trust, Mr. Weiner, individually and as co-trustee, respectfully requests the following relief: a. To the extent of any claims of David, Ms. Warren shall be held responsible for all actions and alleged inactions of the trustees; I '\1' b. To the extent of any claims of David, Ms. Warren shall be held equally liable for all claimed damages and relief sought by David, as finally determined, if any; c. Ms. Warren shall be held liable for any and all violations of David's Trust agreement, including any plan or scheme to collude with David; d. Ms. Warren shall be held equally responsible for the preparation and submission of any accounting determined to be due and personally bear one-half of the costs of the accounting pursuant to § 113.151 of the Texas Trust Code; and e. Ms. Warren shall be ordered to pay one-half of Mr. Weiner's attorneys' fees and costs incurred as a result of defending the lawsuit.

38. With regard to claims by Daniel and/or related to Daniel's Trust, Mr. Weiner, individually and as co-trustee, respectfully requests the following relief: a. To the extent any claims of Daniel are validly asserted in this proceeding, Ms. Warren shall be held responsible for all actions and alleged inactions of the trustees; b. To the extent any claims of Daniel are validly asserted in this proceeding, Ms. Warren shall be held equally liable for all claimed damages and relief sought by Daniel, as finally determined, if any; c. Ms. Warren shall be held liable for any and all violations of Daniel's Trust agreement, including any plan or scheme to collude with Daniel; d. Ms. Warren shall be held equally responsible for the preparation and submission of any accounting determined to be due, and personally bear one-half of the costs ofthe accounting pursuant to §113.151 ofthe Texas Trust Code; and e. Ms. Warren shall be ordered to pay one-half of Mr. Weiner's attorneys' fees and costs incurred as a result of defending the lawsuit.

092865/000002 376- 127385lvl WHEREFORE, Andy Weiner respectfully requests that this Court grant the above- requested relief, and for such other and further relief as to which he may show himself justly entitled to receive.
