FILED IN 1st COURT OF APPEALS HOUSTON, TEXAS

EXHIBIT 7 11/12/2015 8:00:00 AM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk Debra Holloway From: Ramona Gonzalez <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 09, 2015 8:34 PM To: Debra Holloway Subject: RE: Syrian-America v. Pecten, Cause No. 2007-67830

Ms. Holloway, I did prepare the record dated 5-29-14 and filed it with the Court of Appeals, but there is no payment due. The transcript was previously ordered and paid for by Stevenson & Murray in 2014. I understand your firm is working with the Stevenson & Murray law firm on the appeal, so no further payment is required.

Thank you.
