Fourth Court of Appeals Cadena-Reeves Justice Center Dolorosa, Ste. 3200 San Antonio, Texas 78205-3037 RE: El Caballero Ranch, Inc. and Laredo Marine, L.L.C. v. Grace River Ranch, LLC; No. 04-15-00127CV, 4' Judicial District, San Antonio, Texas Dear Justices of the Fourth Court of Appeals: By way of supplement of the Brief of Appellee filed herein, Grace River Ranch, LLC provides the following citations and succinct comment by way of additional authority: No "Self-Help" Remedy in Appellants to Blockade the Easements Absent Judicial Intervention Appellants (without obtaining any injunctive relief in the trial court) have utilized the "self-help" remedy of blocking both Grace River and the public from utilizing the subject easements.

Appellants cannot (without judicial intervention by the trial court) withhold access to the easements by Grace River and the public. Smith v. Huston, 251 S.W.3d

808, 829 (Tex. App. — Fort Worth 2008, pet. denied). There is no "self-help" remedy available to Appellants to blockade the easements simply because Appellants unilaterally and subjectively assert that the easements have been terminated or that maintenance bligatio. re unfilled. Id. Sincerel
