DEFENDANT MARTY BERRY’S EMERGENCY MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE, EMERGENCY MOTION FOR LEAVE FOR EXPEDITED HEARING ON MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE, AND SUBSEQUENT THERETO ORIGINAL ANSWER
Defendant Marty Berry (“M.Berry” or “Defendant”) files this Emergency Motion to Transfer Venue (“Motion”), Emergency Motion for Leave for Expedited Hearing on Motion to Transfer Venue, and subsequent thereto Marty Berry’s Original Answer to the Original Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction of Plaintiffs Lawrence Berry (“L. Berry”) and Berry GP, Inc. (“Plaintiff Berry GP”) (collectively L.Berry and Plaintiff Berry GP are “Plaintiffs”).1 In support thereof, Defendant shows the Court as follows:
Plaintiffs’ Original Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction may be sometimes referred to as the “Petition.”
15043428v1 I. EMERGENCY MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE A. Introduction 1. A substantial part of the events underlying Plaintiffs’ allegations occurred in Nueces County, Texas. None occurred in Harris County, Texas. All of the individual defendants, all of the entities, all of the records, all of the board meetings, all of the meetings with the banks at issue, and all of the real properties at issue are in Nueces County, Texas. Ex.1. Defendant M.Berry moves to transfer venue of this action to a state civil district court in Nueces County, Texas on the basis that a) Harris County is not a proper county for venue; and b) venue is mandatory and permissive in Nueces County, Texas.
Plaintiffs have not plead or even argued any facts to support venue in Harris County, Texas.
2. This motion is filed on an emergency basis as a temporary restraining order has been issued and a temporary injunction has been set in this Court for December 12, 2023.
Since venue is not proper in Harris County, Defendant objects to venue in Harris County, and venue is mandatory and permissive in Nueces County, Texas, this venue motion should he heard on an emergency basis before any injunctive relief is further considered in Harris County, Texas.
3. This Motion is supported by the declaration of Mr. Michael Hummell (“M.
Hummell”), the General Counsel of Berry GP, Inc. (“Berry GP”) - d/b/a Berry Contracting, Inc. (and other Berry-related entities). Ex. 1.
B. Specific Venue Objections, Venue Denial, and Related Facts 4. Defendant M. Berry specifically objects to venue in Harris County, Texas and specifically denies that venue is proper in Harris County, Texas. Defendant M. Berry specifically denies that Harris County is the county where all or a substantial part of the
15043428v1 events or omissions giving rise to the suit occurred. A substantial, indeed all, of the alleged events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiffs’ claims occurred in Nueces County (Ex.1): a. A substantial part of the events did not occur in Harris County, Texas; b. A substantial part (if not all) of the events occurred in Nueces County, Texas; c. The real property at issue is located in Nueces County, Texas; d. Defendant M. Berry is not a resident of Harris County and is an individual residing in Nueces County, Texas; e. Defendant Robert Rickett (“R. Rickett”) is not a resident of Harris County and is an individual residing in Nueces County, Texas; f. Defendant Robert Powers (“R. Powers”) is not a resident of Harris County and is an individual residing in Nueces County, Texas; g. Defendant Hummel is not a resident of Harris County and is an individual residing in Nueces County, Texas; h. Berry GP was founded and maintains its principal place of business in Nueces County, Texas; i. Berry GP’s corporate bylaws mandate its principal place of business shall be Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas; j. Berry Operating Company LLC (“Berry Operating”) was founded and maintains its principal place of business in Nueces County, Texas; k. Berry Contracting LP (“Berry Contracting”) was founded and maintains its principal place of business in Nueces County, Texas; l. All the books and records of Berry GP are in Nueces County, Texas; m. Berry GP, Berry Operating and Berry Contacting board meetings occurred in Nueces County, Texas; n. L. Berry, M. Berry, and Dennis Berry (“D. Berry”) - all owners - attend the board meeting in Nueces County; o. All meetings of Berry GP with the banks at issue occurred in Nueces County, Texas; p. All the Berry GP properties the subject of Plaintiffs’ allegations are located in Nueces County, Texas; and 15043428v1 q. Most if not all the witnesses and documents (including all corporate books and records) are in Nueces County, Texas.
5. For reasons set forth herein, venue is not proper in Harris County, Texas and is proper as well as mandatory in Nueces County, Texas. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM.
CODE § 15.002 and 15.011.
C. Background 6. This is a case about a disgruntled one-third shareholder (L. Berry), and one of three (3) directors of the board of directors (L. Berry) of Berry GP trying to hold the reasonable business operations of Berry GP hostage. Plaintiff L. Berry concedes in his Petition, as he must, he (L. Berry) is only a one-third owner of Berry GP and is only one of three (3) board members of Berry GP.
7. L. Berry alleges that the other two owners/board members (who when voting together are a majority) conspired with others against L. Berry and failed to act as L. Berry wanted them to act in relation to Berry GP. The issue of a majority of the board of directors and reasonable business judgement aside for now, M.Berry would show that Plaintiffs fail to plead or establish facts that support proper venue in Harris County. Although Plaintiffs try to use catchall language that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to this suit occurred in Harris County, Texas, such a conclusory allegation unsupported by facts is insufficient. See Plaintiffs’ Petition, Paragraph 16. To be candid, even the factual allegations in Plaintiffs’ petition establish the operative facts in this case occurred substantially (or completely) in Nueces County.
8. As noted above, all natural persons (defendants) sued by Plaintiffs reside in Nueces County; all companies (defendants) sued by Plaintiffs have their principal offices in Nueces
15043428v1 County;2 all events (substantially all events (at a minimum)) giving rise to Plaintiffs’ claims occurred in Nueces County; all real properties made the subject of Plaintiffs’ claims are in Nueces County; all books and records made the subject of Plaintiffs’ claims are in Nueces County; all bank interactions made the subject of Plaintiffs’ claims occurred in Nueces County; all board meetings made the subject of Plaintiffs’ claims occurred in Nueces County; and all (or substantially all) witnesses involved in the transactions made the subject of Plaintiffs’ claims are in Nueces County. Venue is proper in Nueces County, not Harris County. Ex.1.
9. Indeed, notwithstanding these compelling truths, a closer review of Plaintiffs “FACTUAL BACKGROUND” portion of Plaintiffs’ petition (paragraphs 25 through 52) further compels transfer of this matter to Nueces County: a. paragraphs 25 – 30 are not matters made the subject of Plaintiffs’ claims, but rather are historical and governance information; b. paragraphs 31 and 32 are allegations about actions by the Berry GP board which took place in Nueces County (not Harris County); c. paragraphs 34 – 37 relate to Plaintiffs’ complaints about the “Berry Loan” – loans negotiated, approved, funded, managed, and performable in Nueces County (not Harris County); d. paragraph 38 relates to Plaintiffs’ complaints about the Berry Entities’ possible sale of real properties (“a dock facility and adjacent real property . . . .”) – real properties located wholly within the boundaries of Nueces County (not Harris County); e. paragraph 39 relates to Plaintiffs’ complaints about a Resolution in support of the possible sell of the Berry Entities’ real properties (dock and adjacent property) – a Resolution proposed, approved, signed, and communicated to the Port of Corpus Christi Authority in Nueces County, Texas (“PCCA”) solely in Nueces County; f. paragraphs 40 – 47 relate to Plaintiffs’ complaints about the Berry Entities’ management of its operating line of credit (“LOC”) with the International Bank of Not only do the businesses named as defendants have their principal offices in Nueces County, but the bylaws of Berry GP (the entity L.Berry purports to file suit on behalf of) mandate that the principal place of business of Berry GP is in “the City of Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas.” See Bylaws of Berry GP, Section II, from Plaintiff’s Petition Ex. B.
15043428v1 Commerce (“IBC”) – a series of transactions (negotiations, signing of documents, exchange of correspondence, in-person meetings, and more) that all occurred in Nueces County; g. paragraphs 48 – 49 relate to Plaintiffs’ complaints about the Berry Entities’ establishing a new banking relationship with Frost Bank – a series of transactions (negotiations, in-person meetings, Certificate of Corporate Resolutions, signing of documents, and more) that all occurred in Nueces County; h. paragraphs 50 – 52 relate to Plaintiffs’ complaints about the Berry Entities’ failures to disclose “books and records” – all of which are (and were made available) in Nueces County.
Ex. 1.
10. The overwhelming evidence demonstrates that “all or a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the [Plaintiffs’] claim occurred”3 in Nueces County and while there are several shortfalls in Plaintiffs’ claims, for purposes of venue the above alone are fatal to any claim of venue in Harris County, Texas.
D. Argument and Authorities 1. Legal Standard 11. Once a plaintiff’s choice of venue is challenged by a motion to transfer venue, the plaintiff has the burden of presenting proof that venue is maintainable in the county of suit.
TEX. R. CIV. P. 87(3)(a); In re Masonite Corp., 997 S.W.2d 194, 197 (Tex. 1999). A defendant raises the question of proper venue by objecting to a plaintiff’s venue choice through a motion to transfer venue. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 86.
12. Although a plaintiff has the first choice of venue by filing suit, a court must “transfer an action to another county of proper venue if ... the county in which the action is pending is not a proper county.” In re Team Rocket, L.P., 256 S.W.3d 257, 259 (Tex. 2008) (citing TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE. § 15.063(1), TEX. R. CIV. P. 87). “The
See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.002(a)(1).
15043428v1 court shall determine the motion to transfer venue on the basis of the pleadings, any stipulations made by and between the parties and such affidavits and attachments as may be filed by the parties” in accordance with the applicable rules. In re Hardwick, 426 S.W.3d 151, 157 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2012, no pet.) (citing Tex. R. Civ. P. 87(3)(b)).
13. The plaintiff bears the burden to “make proof” that venue is maintainable in the county of suit. TEX. R. CIV. P. 87(2)(a). If suit was not filed in a proper venue, the defendant must establish that venue is maintainable in the county to which transfer is sought. TEX. R. CIV. P. 87(2)(a); see Carlile v. RLS Legal Sols., Inc., 138 S.W.3d 403, 409 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2004, no pet.) (citing In re Masonite Corp., 997 S.W.2d 194, 197 (Tex. 1999) (noting that burden shifts to plaintiff to prove venue as alleged if defendant properly challenges plaintiff’s choice of venue)). As shown, Plaintiffs here cannot “make proof” and establish venue is proper in Harris County and Defendant M. Berry can establish mandatory and permissive venue in Nueces County, Texas.
2. Mandatory Venue Lies in Nueces County, Texas- §15.011 14. Venue in Texas may be based upon “general,” “mandatory,” or “permissive” venue.
Wichita County v. Hart, 917 S.W.2d 779, 781 (Tex. 1996). A defendant may move to transfer venue on grounds that mandatory venue lies in a different county. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 86(3)(b). If a plaintiff’s chosen venue rests on a general permissive venue statute and the defendant files a meritorious motion to transfer based on a mandatory venue provision, the trial court must grant the motion and transfer venue. Wichita Cnty., 917 S.W.2d at 781. If a mandatory venue provision applies to any claims or causes of action, then all claims and causes of action arising from the same transaction must be brought in
15043428v1 the county of mandatory venue. Airvantage, L.L.C. v. TBAN Props. # 1, L.T.D., 269 S.W.3d 254, 257 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2008, no pet.).
15. Plaintiffs seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief related to the selling, mortgaging or otherwise encumbering of real property. Plaintiffs’ Petition Count VII.
Plaintiffs claim damage by Defendants’ actions related to Nueces County real properties (Plaintiffs’ Petition Count VII, paragraph 95; Ex.1), and potential irreparable injury to real property (Plaintiffs’ Petition Count VII, Section D). Plaintiffs seek compensatory, actual, consequential, restitutionary, disgorgement and exemplary damages (among others) related to property in Nueces County (Plaintiff’s Petition Section XI- Prayer). Nonetheless, Plaintiffs avoid ever mentioning where the real property is located. The reason seems clear.
“Actions for recovery of real property or an estate or interest in real property, for partition of real property, to remove encumbrances from the title to real property, for recovery of damages to real property, or to quiet title to real property shall be brought in the county in which all or a part of the property is located.” TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.011.
Plaintiffs have filed an action to try to enforce, assert and recover an interest in real property, and the real property is in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. Ex. 1; TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.011. In short, venue is mandatory in Nueces County.
3. Permissive Venue Lies in Nueces County, Texas- §15.002 16. The events Plaintiffs complain of substantially occurred in Nueces County. Ex. 1.
The natural persons named as defendants, the entities named as defendants, the books and records made the subject of Plaintiffs’ petition, the board of directors’ meetings, the meeting with banks, the decisions concerning Berry GP, the real properties and more all are or occurred in Nueces County. Ex. 1.
15043428v1 17. As a result, Defendant has established venue is proper in Nueces County as substantially all the events occurred in Nueces County, and all the defendants are residents or have a principal place of business in Nueces County.
4. Venue must be transferred to Nueces County, Texas 18. Plaintiffs fail to plead or provide any facts to support venue in Harris County, Texas. In fact, Plaintiffs have failed to allege any facts regarding which transactions or occurrences allegedly occurring in Harris County, Texas let alone that any substantial part of the events occurred in Harris County. Defendant M. Berry objects to venue in Harris County, Texas, and specifically denies that proper venue is in Harris County.
19. All or a substantial part of the events occurred in Nueces County, Texas and Defendant has established venue in Nueces County, Texas. Ex.1. There is no basis to maintain venue in Harris County, Texas and this matter should be transferred as Defendant M. Berry has established venue is not only permissive, but it is mandatory in Nueces County, Texas.
5. Prayer 20. Accordingly, Defendant M. Berry respectfully request this case be transferred to Nueces County, Texas, and for such other relief, at law and in equity, Defendant M. Berry may show himself justly entitled under this Motion to Transfer Venue.
II. SUBSEQUENT EMERGENCY MOTION FOR EXPEDITED HEARING- VENUE 21. Subsequent to the Emergency Motion to Transfer Venue, Defendant M. Berry seeks leave of Court for a hearing on venue before consideration of the temporary injunction hearing currently set for December 12, 2023, and before the forty-five (45) day notice provision of TEX.R.CIV.P. 87. Good cause exists as Defendant M. Berry should not be subject to an injunction hearing and what all that entails (expedited discovery,
15043428v1 depositions, witness travel as well as the hearing itself) in a county where there is not proper venue.
III. SUBSEQUENT TO MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE AND EXPEDITED HEARING REQUEST- ORIGINAL ANSWER AND GENERAL DENIAL 22. Subsequent to Defendant M. Berry’s Motion to Transfer Venue and Hearing Request, and pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 92, Defendant M. Berry generally denies each and every material allegation contained in Plaintiffs’ Original Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction, and demands strict proof thereof as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas.
Defendant M. Berry reserve the right to amend or supplement his answer in accordance with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
IV. PRAYER Defendant M. Berry respectfully requests that the Court (i) consider and rule upon Defendant M. Berry’s Motion to Transfer Venue (on an expedited basis, as requested herein) and (ii) transfer venue of this matter to Nueces County, Texas; subsequent to the Motion to Transfer Venue Defendant M. Berry respectfully requests that the Court, (a) deny Plaintiffs all relief sought against Defendant M. Berry, and subject to the Motion to Transfer Venue and (b) award Defendant M. Berry such other and further relief, at law or in equity, to which Defendant M. Berry may be justly entitled.

VI.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND 12. The Berry Entities and Berry-Related Entities are a large organization of companies engaged in various businesses throughout the United States, and have successfully done so since the 1950s.
13. Marvin Berry had four (4) sons: Marty Berry (M.Berry), Dennis Berry (D.Berry), A.
Lawrence Berry (L.Berry), and Kenneth Berry. After Marvin Berry passed in 1997, control of the Berry Entities shifted to Laura Berry (Marvin’s wife), and then to their (Marvin’s and Laura’s) sons — M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry. LDMA LP (“LDMA”) sits at the top of the Berry Entities.
LDMA’s 3% general partner is Beacon Inc. which is owned in equal shares by M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry. LDMA owns Berry GP which, through a series of legal entities, own Berry Operating and Bay Ltd. The Board of Directors of Berry GP (M.Berry, D.Berry, Bonnie Berry,2 and L.Berry) — in accordance with the by-laws of Berry GP — primarily govern Berry GP, the Berry Entities, and some of the other affiliated entities (indirectly). All considered (generally), ownership of the Berry Entities is vested with M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry (shareholders); and control of the Berry Entities (generally, at a policy level) is with M.Berry, D.Berry, Bonnie Berry, and L.Berry (all serving as directors of Berry GP).
14. For purposes of this pleading, the Berry Entities refers to Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. For purposes of this pleading, the Berry-Related Entities refer to the Allen Lawrence Berry 2007 Trust, Orca Assets GP LLC (“Orca”), Inner Channel Investments Inc. (“ICI”), Orca
Bonnie Berry is wife of D.Berry, recently appointed director of Berry GP.
ICI Development (“Orca ICI,” a Texas partnership), West 17th Resources LLC, Gansevoort Investments LLC, Halcon Mineral Interest LLC, Orca Petroleum Ltd., Zilker Acquisitions LLC, Three Rivers Pipe and Rental LLC, Southern Comfort Equipment, Ridgefield Energy Investments LLC, Ridgefield Energy Operating LLC, Ridgefield Eagle Ford, LLC, Ridgefield Permian, LLC, Ridgefield Permian Minerals, LLC (and related companies). The Berry Entities and Berry-Related Entities may be sometimes referred to as the “Berry Companies.”
15. The Berry Companies are and have been started up, owned (legally and/or beneficially), held in trust, managed, developed, operated, and/or controlled at various times by and through Berry GP, and/or by and through (in part) M.Berry, D.Berry, and/or L.Berry (one or all of them), since the 2000s. Such business practices are investments for one or more of the Berry Entities.
16. As an example of how Berry Entities invested, Counter-Plaintiffs invested substantially in ICI, ICI Orca, and Orca. Specifically, Counter-Plaintiffs seeded capital (money, assets, manpower) to Orca to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control an investment in the Eagle Ford Shale and/or Permian Basin — which, in turn, became seed-money/assets (including mineral interests as assets) for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the “Investment”).
17. From time to time, M.Berry, D.Berry, and/or L.Berry (or all of them) had meetings to discuss how to manage the Investment, whether to sell or continue with the Investment, and other business-type meetings/discussions.
18. Seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to ICI to Orca/ICI to Orca involved an agreement/contract as between these legal entities requiring payment-in-full for the base value of the seeded money/assets received by Orca. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry has very recently refused to pay as required by the agreement/contract.
19. Seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to ICI to Orca/ICI to Orca also included the agreement/contract that L.Berry/Orca would initiate the Investment (start-up); manage, develop, operate, and control the Investment, and hold the Investment in trust and for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry/Orca has engaged a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in- meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs.
20. Specifically, L.Berry has participated in self-dealing transactions involving the Investment (and the Investment’s earnings) — taking of seeded money and assets of value (wealth) for his own personal benefit, and not for the benefit of any one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs. This on-going practice by L.Berry/Orca of self-dealing transactions and ultra vires transactions violates the fiduciary obligations owed by L.Berry to Counter-Plaintiffs (and others).
21. In furtherance of L.Berry’s wrongful conduct, L.Berry has intentionally obscured his self- dealing transactions by transfers of money/assets of substantial value to and/or through the following entities: Allen Lawrence Berry 2007 Trust, West 17th Resources LLC, Gansevoort Investments LLC, Halcon Mineral Interest LLC, Orca Petroleum Ltd., Zilker Acquisitions LLC, Three Rivers Pipe and Rental LLC, Ridgefield Energy Investments LLC, Ridgefield Energy Operating LLC, Ridgefield Eagle Ford, LLC, Ridgefield Permian, LLC, Ridgefield Permian Minerals, LLC, and Southern Comfort Equipment. All such transactions constitute L.Berry’s wrongful taking of money and assets belonging to, held in trust for, and held for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. L.Berry not only is and has been engaged in such wrongful takings, but also has failed to disclose same (as is required by his (L.Berry’s) fiduciary duties owed).
22. L.Berry’s wrongful conduct (as described herein) continues to-date. Counter-Plaintiffs file this legal action to demand L.Berry provide financial information as shall be requested through the legal discovery process. Counter-Plaintiffs now plead the following claims and causes of action against L.Berry: conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, and fraud.
VII.
CAUSES OF ACTION Count 1 Conversion 23. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 1 in their entirety.
24. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that L.Berry (Counter-Defendant) is liable to Counter- Plaintiffs for conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings). Specifically, Counter- Plaintiffs seeded capital (money, assets) to L.Berry/Orca to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control an investment in the Eagle Ford Shale and/or Permian Basin — which, in turn, became seed-money/assets for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the Investment). L.Berry was to hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs.3 Wrongfully, L.Berry has absconded with the Investment (+ earnings) through a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in-meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs. L.Berry’s wrongful conduct is a conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs Investment (+ earnings).
25. The elements of conversion are: 1) claimants (Counter-Plaintiffs) owned or were entitled to possession of property; 2) another assumes or exercises control of the property in an unauthorized manner to the exclusion of the claimants; and 3) the claimants’ demand for return of
Although some monies have been paid by L.Berry or one of his legal entities to one or more Counter-Plaintiffs as part of these transactions, the amounts of money paid have only been a partial repayment of monies owed to Counter-Plaintiffs — still in disregard for that which was agreed to be held in trust by L.Berry for Counter- Plaintiffs. the property is refused. In this case, Counter-Plaintiffs clearly own and are entitled to possession of the Investment (+ earnings). Such Investment (+ earnings) were supposed to be held in trust by L.Berry (the sole person in control of such Investment (+ earnings)) for Counter-Plaintiffs.
Counter-Defendant has wrongfully assumed and exercised control over such Investment (+ earnings), and done so in a manner unauthorized by Counter-Plaintiffs and to the exclusion of Counter-Plaintiffs. Further, and in disregard of requests from Counter-Plaintiffs, Counter- Defendant has failed and refused to return the Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs. This is a wrongful conversion of such Investment (+ earnings) — the money/assets — belonging to Counter-Plaintiffs, for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
26. Counter-Defendant’s wrongful conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings) has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. Counter-Plaintiffs now sue for the return of such Investment (+ earnings), or alternatively for the value of such Investment (+ earnings).
Count 2 Breach of Fiduciary Duty 27. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 2 in their entirety.
28. Counter-Defendant has been a shareholder, officer, and director of Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. Counter-Defendant held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter- Plaintiffs all relevant times. As such, Counter-Defendant owes fiduciary duties to Counter- Plaintiffs for all relevant times. The fiduciary duties owed by Counter-Defendant to Counter- Plaintiffs include, but are not limited to, the duty of loyalty, duty of utmost good faith and fair dealing, and duty of fairness and honesty. The fiduciary duties owed by Counter-Defendant to Counter-Plaintiffs further include putting Counter-Plaintiffs’ interest before his (L.Berry’s) own interest, inclusive of devoting his (L.Berry’s) full time and efforts in favor of Counter-Plaintiffs’ best interests — not his (L.Berry’s) own interests. These duties that Counter-Defendant/L.Berry owes to Counter-Plaintiffs encompass obligations and/or duties to refrain from self-dealing transactions and to make full disclosures of information.
29. While owing fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs, Counter-Defendant has engaged in, directed, approved, and/or taken actions in contravention of his (L.Berry’s) fiduciary duties owed, including but without limited to the following: a. L.Berry took substantial money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs, and failed to invest same in the name of and/or for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs (thereby L.Berry put his own financial interest ahead of Counter-Plaintiffs’ financial interest). By way of example, L.Berry took Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets yet wrongfully placed things of value (mineral leases) into Orca (a legal entity that ultimately (later) was determined to be 100% for the benefit of L.Berry). This breach of fiduciary duty caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter- Plaintiffs now sue.
b. L.Berry was supposed to hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs, yet L.Berry refuses to account for and surrender such Investment (+ earnings) in favor of Counter-Plaintiffs — but rather appears to have absconded with the Investment (+ earnings). This failure to hold, account for, and then surrender the Investment (+ earnings) for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs is self-dealing — and a breach of fiduciary duty. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
c. L.Berry took the Investment (+ earnings) for his own benefit (as set forth above), and did so without full disclosure of details of the Investment (and earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs. Rather than comply with Counter- Defendant’s fiduciary duties owed, Counter-Defendant has engaged a series of transactions to obscure Counter-Plaintiffs’ rights to its Investment (+ earnings). This lack of full disclosure is L.Berry’s breach of his (L.Berry’s) fiduciary duty of full disclosure and candor owed to Counter-Plaintiffs. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter- Plaintiffs now sue.
d. L.Berry has used Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets to promote and make profit for his (L.Berry’s) own businesses in various manners and locations.
This is more self-dealing, and a breach of the fiduciary duty owed by L.Berry to the Counter-Plaintiffs. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to the Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
e. There are additional transactions / ventures by Counter-Defendant that are a breach of his (L.Berry’s) breach of fiduciary duties owed to Counter- Plaintiffs, and all of which have caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. For same, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
30. Counter-Defendant has taken money/assets/manpower from one or more of the Counter- Plaintiffs; the Investment (+ earnings) from one or more of Counter-Plaintiffs; misappropriated equipment, personnel, and other assets from one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs; and all to the detriment of one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs — while only benefiting Counter-Defendant.
This is self-dealing. All such conduct described herein evidences Counter-Defendant’s breaches of his fiduciary duties owed; that is, self-dealing, advancing his (L.Berry’s) own interest rather than Counter-Plaintiffs’ interest, breaches of loyalty to the Counter-Plaintiffs, breaches of good faith and fair dealing owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, breaches of full disclosure and candor owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, and more. Counter-Defendant L.Berry’s misconduct has been and continues to be designed as a subterfuge of his obligations to the Counter-Plaintiffs (whereas other shareholders who may have received benefits account for same to the Berry Entities). Counter- Defendant’s breaches of fiduciary duties owed to Counter-Plaintiffs have caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
Count 3 Breach of Contract 31. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 3 in their entirety.
32. As noted herein, seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs included the agreement/contract that L.Berry would initiate the Investment (start-up); manage, develop, operate, and control the Investment, and hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust and for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry has refused to perform as promised, but rather engaged a series of self-dealing transactions designed to allow L.Berry to keep all (or some) of the Investment (+ earnings) for himself (L.Berry).
33. Counter-Defendant’s refusal to abide by the agreement/contract is a breach of agreement/contract. Counter-Defendant’s breach of the agreement/contract has caused Counter-
Plaintiffs substantial financial harm and losses, and for such substantial financial harm and losses Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
Count 4 Unjust Enrichment 34. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 4 in their entirety.
35. Recent events now give rise to a concern on Counter-Plaintiffs’ behalf that Counter- Defendant may deny the agreement/contract (and/or some terms of the agreement/contract) as between Counter-Plaintiffs and Counter-Defendant — all in an effort by Counter-Defendant to wrongfully abscond with Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment + earnings. Such a result would be inequitable, and unjustly enrich Counter-Defendant.
36. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that Counter-Plaintiffs did, in fact, provide seed capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to Orca/ICI / Orca as a benefit to Counter-Defendant, and to allow Counter-Defendant to invest (again, the Investment). This benefit to Counter-Defendant was provided by Counter-Plaintiffs, and it will cause a substantial detriment to Counter-Plaintiff if the Investment + earnings are not returned to Counter-Plaintiffs. As such, equity demands that the Investment + earnings be returned to Counter-Plaintiffs or compensation for value.
37. For these reasons set forth herein, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue Counter-Defendant for unjust enrichment, as fairness demands Counter-Plaintiffs be made whole by: (1) return of all Investment (+ earnings); or (2) the value of all Investment (+ earnings) be paid by Counter-Defendant to Counter-Plaintiffs.
Count 5 Breach of Constructive Trust 38. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 5 in their entirety.
39. As noted above, Counter-Defendant has been a shareholder, officer, and director of Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. Counter-Defendant held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. As such, Counter-Defendant owed fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times.
40. Counter-Plaintiffs made transfer of monies/assets to Counter-Defendant (money, manpower, and assets). Counter-Plaintiffs made these transfers of monies/assets in reliance upon Counter-Defendant’s promise to protect and deliver Counter-Plaintiffs’ share of the Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs.
41. Counter-Defendant now refuses to perform upon Counter-Defendant’s promise (but rather now wants to keep for his (L.Berry’s) own gain/profit all of the Investment (+ earnings)). As such, Counter-Defendant will be unjustly enriched. Given these facts, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue for breach of constructive trust for the Investment (+ earnings) and related, traceable monies/assets.
All such monies and assets should be placed in a constructive trust for the benefit of Counter- Plaintiffs or distributed to same.
Count 6 Fraud 42. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 6 in their entirety.
43. As noted above, Counter-Plaintiffs invested heavily ($millions$, the Investment) in ICI, Orca ICI, Orca, and other Berry-Related Entities for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. Such Investment was seed-money/assets for — and investment in — Berry-Related Companies.
44. Counter-Plaintiffs invested the millions of dollars/assets based specifically upon Counter- Defendants representation/promise to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control investments in the Eagle Ford Shale and/or Permian Basin for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs (which is also for the benefit of L.Berry, in part (1/3rd)).
45. More specifically, and to induce the Investment, Counter-Defendant promised to re-pay the original value of the Investment ($millions$) to the Counter-Plaintiffs; and further promised that the Investment would be for the benefit of the Counter-Plaintiffs (and understandably so given that L.Berry would still share substantially in the benefits/profits (1/3rd)).
46. Instead, Counter-Defendant — although Counter-Defendant has paid some interest-only payments from time to time — has absconded with all or a substantial portion of the value of the Investment monies/assets + earnings. On information and belief, Counter-Defendant apparently made interest payments to prolong the process (run out the clock) — all the while never intending to re-pay the original value of the Investment; and all the while never intending to deliver such Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs.
47. Presently, Counter-Defendant has gone dark on this discussion, and thereby indicated that he (L.Berry) never intended to abide by his representation/promise designed to induce the Investment.
48. Counter-Defendant’s fraud/fraud in the inducement has resulted is substantial, unearned profits for Counter-Defendant, personally; and great financial losses to the Counter-Plaintiffs.
49. The above-described conduct constitutes fraud and fraud in the inducement, and thus is actionable in favor of one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs. For such fraud and fraud in the inducement, the Counter-Plaintiffs now file and assert all such claims and causes of action against Counter-Defendant.
VIII.
CAUSATION 50. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all above paragraphs as if set forth herein in their entirety.
51. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that all causes of action/claims set forth herein have been the cause, proximate cause, producing cause, and cause-in-fact of substantial harm and financial losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. For all such harm and financial losses, these Counter-Plaintiffs sue.
IX.
LEGAL DAMAGES 52. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all above paragraphs as if set forth herein in their entirety.
53. For all harm and financial losses suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs and arising from wrongful and/or inequitable conduct of Counter-Defendant, these Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
54. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the substantial harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; compensatory damages, actual damages, consequential damages, restitution damages, disgorgement damages, and other damages. Counter-Plaintiffs claims asserted herein are for substantial harm and financial losses greatly in excess of $1,000,000.00.
55. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; attorneys’ fees.
56. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; prejudgment and post-judgment interests — as allowed by law.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Counter-Plaintiffs pray for all relief as requested herein, for costs of court in addition thereto, and for such other and further relief to which Counter-Plaintiffs may show themselves justly entitled as against Counter-Defendant.

Lawrence Berry, in his personal capacity and as Trustee of the Allen Lawrence Berry Trust, sometimes referred to as Counter-Defendants, and in support of same would show:
I.
PARTIES 1. Berry GP Inc. (“Berry GP”) is a Texas corporation with its principal office at 1414 Corn Products Road, Corpus Christi, Texas 78409. Berry GP is one of the “Berry Entities” as may be referenced herein.
2. Berry Operating Company LLC (“Berry Operating”) is a Texas limited liability company with its principal office at 1414 Corn Products Road, Corpus Christi, Texas 78409. Berry Operating is one of the “Berry Entities” as may be referenced herein.

4. Marty Berry (“M.Berry”) is a natural person who is presently an Officer, Director, and shareholder of Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. Marty Berry resides in Nueces County, Texas.
5. A. Lawrence Berry (“L.Berry”) is a natural person who is presently an Officer, Director, and shareholder of Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. A. Lawrence Berry resides in Harris County, Texas. A. Lawrence Berry may and shall be served by notice of these proceedings upon legal counsel for A. Lawrence Berry: Mr. Barrett Reasoner, Gibbs & Bruns LLP, 1100 Louisiana, Suite 5300, Houston, Texas 77002. Service shall be by electronic means, and in such manner as complies with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
6. Allen Lawrence Berry, as Trustee of the Allen Lawrence Berry Trust (“ALB Trust”) is a trust wherein Allen Lawrence Berry serves as trustee of the ALB Trust, and is – along with others – a beneficiary of the Trust. ALB Trust has already appeared in these proceedings, and thus this
Counter-Plaintiffs First Amended Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims will be served upon Allen Lawrence Berry, Trustee, and the Trust by service upon their attorney: Mr. Barrett Reasoner, Gibbs & Bruns LLP, 1100 Louisiana, Suite 5300, Houston, Texas 77002. Service shall be by electronic means, and in such manner as complies with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
6. Berry GP, Berry Operating, Bay Ltd., Marty Berry, and A. Lawrence Berry may be sometimes referred to as the “Parties,” or any one of them referred to as a “Party.”
7. L.Berry is the original Plaintiff in this legal action by having filed Plaintiffs’ Original Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction (“Plaintiffs’ Verified Petition”). The legal action initiated by Plaintiffs’ Verified Petition was filed in Harris County, Texas, but promptly transferred to Nueces County, Texas. A Counter-Plaintiffs’ Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims was filed as counter-claim to Plaintiffs’ Verified Petition in compliance with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure (“TRCP”) 97. L.Berry, adding Lawrence Berry in his capacity as trustee of the Allen Lawrence Berry Trust (“Trust”), then filed Plaintiffs’ First Amended Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Injunction. This Counter-Plaintiffs’ First Amended Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims is now being filed as counter-claim to Plaintiffs’ First Amended Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Injunction in compliance with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure (“TRCP”) 97.
II.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 8. This Court has jurisdiction over all Parties. Specifically, Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. are legal entities formed in Texas that maintain their principal offices in Texas. M.Berry and L.Berry reside in Texas. As such, all Parties have sufficient contacts with the State of Texas and, therefore, are subject to the jurisdiction of this Court.
9. Venue is proper in Nueces County, Texas, pursuant to TCPRC Chapter 15, section 15.002(a)(1) inasmuch as Nueces County is the location where all or a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred. See Exhibit C (with attachments). Moreover, venue is proper in Nueces County, Texas, pursuant to TCPRC Chapter 15, section 15.063(3). See Exhibit B.
III.
DISCOVERY 10. Discovery should be conducted in accordance with Level 3, as permitted by TRCP 109.4.
IV.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 11. Counter-Plaintiffs file this amended counter-petition asserting claims against L.Berry and the Trust for conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, fraud, and other causes of action. Counter-Plaintiffs’ causes of action pleaded against and complaining of L.Berry and Trust are directly responsive to L.Berry’s claims for self- dealing and breach of fiduciary duty filed against one or more Counter-Plaintiffs. For all claims referenced in this Counter-Plaintiffs’ First Amended Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue Counter-Defendants.
VI.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND 12. The Berry Entities and Berry-Related Entities are a large organization of companies engaged in various businesses throughout the United States, and have successfully done so since the 1950s.
13. Marvin Berry had four (4) sons: Marty Berry (M.Berry), Dennis Berry (D.Berry), A.
Lawrence Berry (L.Berry), and Kenneth Berry. After Marvin Berry passed in 1997, control of the Berry Entities shifted to Laura Berry (Marvin’s wife), and then to their (Marvin’s and Laura’s) sons — M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry. LDMA LP (“LDMA”) sits at the top of the Berry Entities.
LDMA’s 3% general partner is Beacon Inc. which is owned by M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry.
LDMA owns Berry GP which, through a series of legal entities, own Berry Operating and Bay Ltd. The Board of Directors of Berry GP (M.Berry, Bonnie Berry, L.Berry, and Chrissy Hinojosa Phd.) — in accordance with the by-laws of Berry GP — primarily govern Berry GP, the Berry Entities, and some of the other affiliated entities (indirectly). All considered (generally), ownership of the Berry Entities is vested with M.Berry, Bonnie Berry, and L.Berry (shareholders); and control of the Berry Entities (generally, at a policy level) is with M.Berry, Bonnie Berry, L.Berry, and Chrissy Hinojsa Phd. (all serving as directors of Berry GP).
14. For purposes of this pleading, the Berry Entities refers to Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. For purposes of this pleading, the Berry-Related Entities refer to the Allen Lawrence Berry 2007 Trust, Orca Assets GP LLC (“Orca”), Inner Channel Investments Inc. (“ICI”), Orca ICI Development (“Orca ICI,” a Texas partnership), Orca ICI Development JV, Orca Petroleum Ltd., Orca Properties LLC (a/k/a Orca Specialty Equipment LLC, Providence Plantation, and/or Casa de Juego), West 17th Resources LLC, Gansevoort Investments LLC, Halcon Mineral Interest LLC, Zilker Acquisitions LLC, Three Rivers Pipe and Rental LLC, Southern Comfort Equipment, Ridgefield Energy Investments LLC, Ridgefield Energy Operating LLC, Ridgefield Eagle Ford LLC, Ridgefield Eagle Ford Minerals LLC, Ridgefield Permian LLC, Ridgefield Permian Minerals LLC, Ridgefield Energy Partners LLC, CEC Ridgefield Holdings LLC, Blue Wagon Energy Investments LLC, Alamo Resources IV JV LLC, B.B.I. Inc., Escopeta Oil & Gas
Corporation, Furie Operating Alaska LLC, Helios Power Capital LLC, Danskammer Energy LLC, Berry Y&V Fabricators LLC (and related companies). The Berry Entities and Berry-Related Entities may be sometimes referred to as the “Berry Companies.”
15. The Berry Companies, except for the Trust, are and have been started up, owned (legally and/or beneficially), held in trust, managed, developed, operated, and/or controlled at various times by and through Berry GP, and/or by and through (in part) M.Berry, D.Berry, and/or L.Berry (one or all of them), since the 2000s. Such business practices are investments for one or more of the Berry Entities and/or their owners/shareholders.
16. As an example of how Berry Entities invested, Counter-Plaintiffs invested substantially in ICI, ICI Orca, and Orca. Specifically, Counter-Plaintiffs seeded capital (money, assets, manpower) to Orca to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control an investment in the Eagle Ford Shale and/or Permian Basin — which, in turn, became seed-money/assets (including mineral interests as assets) for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the “Investment”).
17. From time to time, M.Berry, D.Berry, and/or L.Berry (or all of them) had meetings to discuss how to manage the Investment, whether to sell or continue with the Investment, and other business-type meetings/discussions.
18. Seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to ICI to Orca/ICI to Orca involved an agreement/contract as between these legal entities requiring payment-in-full for the base value of the seeded money/assets received by Orca. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust, has very recently refused to pay as required by the agreement/contract.
19. Seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to ICI to Orca/ICI to Orca also included the agreement/contract that L.Berry/Orca/Trust (all or in part) would initiate the
Investment (start-up); manage, develop, operate, and control the Investment, and hold the Investment in trust and for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry/Orca/Trust (all or in part) has engaged a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in-meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs.
20. Specifically, L.Berry/Trust has participated in self-dealing transactions involving the Investment (and the Investment’s earnings) — taking of seeded money and assets of value (wealth) for personal benefit, and not for the benefit of any one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs. This on- going practice by L.Berry/Orca/Trust of self-dealing transactions and ultra vires transactions violates the fiduciary obligations owed by L.Berry, individually and as trustee of the Trust, to Counter-Plaintiffs (and others).
21. In furtherance of L.Berry’s/Trust’s wrongful conduct, L.Berry/Trust has intentionally obscured self-dealing transactions by transfers of money/assets of substantial value to and/or through the Berry-Related Entities. All such transactions constitute L.Berry’s, individually and as trustee for the Trust, wrongful taking of money and assets belonging to, held in trust for, and held for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust, has and is engaged in wrongful takings, and also has failed to disclose same (as is required by his (L.Berry’s, individually and as trustee of the Trust) fiduciary duties owed).
22. L.Berry’s (individually and as trustee of the Trust) wrongful conduct (as described herein) continues to-date. Counter-Plaintiffs file this legal action to demand L.Berry (individually and as trustee of the Trust) provide financial information as shall be requested through the legal discovery process. Counter-Plaintiffs now plead the following claims and causes of action against L.Berry
(individually and as trustee of the Trust) and the Trust: conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, and fraud.
VII.
CAUSES OF ACTION Count 1 Conversion 23. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 1 in their entirety.
24. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that L.Berry (individually and as trustee of the Trust, Counter-Defendants) are liable to Counter-Plaintiffs for conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings). Specifically, Counter-Plaintiffs seeded capital (money, assets) to L.Berry/Orca/Trust (and their benefit) to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control an investment in the Eagle Ford Shale and/or Permian Basin — which, in turn, became seed- money/assets for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the Investment). L.Berry and the Trust were to hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs.1 Wrongfully, L.Berry and the Trust have absconded with the Investment (+ earnings) through a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in-meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs. L.Berry’s wrongful conduct is a conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings).
25. The elements of conversion are: 1) claimants (Counter-Plaintiffs) owned or were entitled to possession of property; 2) another assumes or exercises control of the property in an unauthorized manner to the exclusion of the claimants; and 3) the claimants’ demand for return of
Although some monies have been paid by L.Berry or one of his legal entities to one or more Counter-Plaintiffs as part of these transactions, the amounts of money paid have only been a partial repayment of monies owed to Counter- Plaintiffs — still in disregard for that which was agreed to be held in trust by L.Berry for Counter-Plaintiffs. the property is refused. By this Counter-Plaintiffs’ First Amended Counter-Claim these Counter- Plaintiffs continue to request return of all converted assets. In this case, Counter-Plaintiffs clearly own and are entitled to possession of the Investment (+ earnings). Such Investment (+ earnings) were supposed to be held in trust by L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust (the sole person in control of such Investment (+ earnings)) for Counter-Plaintiffs. Counter-Defendants have wrongfully assumed and exercised control over such Investment (+ earnings), and done so in a manner unauthorized by Counter-Plaintiffs and to the exclusion of Counter-Plaintiffs. Further, and in disregard of requests from Counter-Plaintiffs, Counter-Defendants have failed and refused to return the Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs. This is a wrongful conversion of such Investment (+ earnings) — the money/assets — belonging to Counter-Plaintiffs, for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
26. Counter-Defendants’ wrongful conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings) has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. Counter-Plaintiffs now sue for the return of such Investment (+ earnings), or alternatively for the value of such Investment (+ earnings).
Count 2 Breach of Fiduciary Duty 27. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 2 in their entirety.
28. Counter-Defendant L.Berry has been a shareholder, officer, and director of Counter- Plaintiffs for all relevant times. Counter-Defendants held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs all relevant times. As such, Counter-Defendants owe fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. The fiduciary duties owed by Counter-Defendants to Counter-Plaintiffs include, but are not limited to, the duty of loyalty, duty of utmost good faith and fair dealing, and duty of fairness and honesty. The fiduciary duties owed by Counter-Defendants to Counter-Plaintiffs further include putting Counter-Plaintiffs’ interest before his (L.Berry’s, individually and as trustee of the Trust) own interest, inclusive of devoting full time and efforts in favor of Counter-Plaintiffs’ best interests — not L.Berry’s own or just the Trust’s interests. These duties that Counter-Defendants owe to Counter-Plaintiffs encompass obligations and/or duties to refrain from self-dealing transactions and to make full disclosures of information.
29. While owing fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs, Counter-Defendants have engaged in, directed, approved, and/or taken actions in contravention of fiduciary duties owed, including but without limited to the following: a. L.Berry/Trust took substantial money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs, and failed to invest same in the name of and/or for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs (thereby putting their own financial interest ahead of Counter-Plaintiffs’ financial interest). By way of example, L.Berry and Trust took Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets yet wrongfully placed things of value (mineral leases) into Orca (a legal entity that ultimately (later) was determined to be 100% for the benefit of Trust). This breach of fiduciary duty caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter- Plaintiffs now sue.
b. L.Berry/Trust were supposed to hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs, yet L.Berry/Trust refuses to account for and surrender such Investment (+ earnings) in favor of Counter-Plaintiffs — but rather appears to have absconded with the Investment (+ earnings). This failure to hold, account for, and then surrender the Investment (+ earnings) for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs is self-dealing — and a breach of fiduciary duty. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue. c. L.Berry/Trust took the Investment (+ earnings) for their own benefit (as set forth above), and did so without full disclosure of details of the Investment (and earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs. Rather than comply with Counter- Defendants’ fiduciary duties owed, Counter-Defendants have engaged a series of transactions to obscure Counter-Plaintiffs’ rights to its Investment (+ earnings). This lack of full disclosure is L.Berry’s and Trust’s breach of fiduciary duty of full disclosure and candor owed to Counter-Plaintiffs. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter- Plaintiffs now sue. d. L.Berry/Trust have used Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets to promote and make profit for their own businesses in various manners and locations.
This is more self-dealing, and a breach of the fiduciary duty owed by L.Berry/Trust to the Counter-Plaintiffs. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to the Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue. e. There are additional transactions / ventures by Counter-Defendants that are a breach of fiduciary duties owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, and all of which have caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs.
For same, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
30. Counter-Defendants have taken money/assets/manpower from one or more of the Counter- Plaintiffs; the Investment (+ earnings) from one or more of Counter-Plaintiffs; misappropriated equipment, personnel, and other assets from one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs; and all to the detriment of one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs — while only benefiting Counter-Defendants.
This is self-dealing. All such conduct described herein evidences Counter-Defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties owed; that is, self-dealing, advancing their (L.Berry’s/Trust’s) own interest rather than Counter-Plaintiffs’ interest, breaches of loyalty to the Counter-Plaintiffs, breaches of good faith and fair dealing owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, breaches of full disclosure and candor owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, and more. Counter-Defendants’ misconduct has been and continues to be designed as a subterfuge of obligations to the Counter-Plaintiffs (whereas other shareholders who may have received benefits account for same to the Berry Entities). Counter-Defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties owed to Counter-Plaintiffs have caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
Count 3 Breach of Contract 31. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 3 in their entirety.
32. As noted herein, seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs included the agreement/contract that L.Berry, individually and as trustee of the Trust, would initiate the Investment (start-up); manage, develop, operate, and control the Investment, and hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust and for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry, individually and as trustee of the Trust, have refused to perform as promised, but rather engaged a series of self-dealing transactions designed to allow L.Berry and the Trust to keep all (or some) of the Investment (+ earnings) for himself (L.Berry) and/or the Trust.
33. Counter-Defendants’ refusals to abide by the agreement/contract is a breach of agreement/contract. Counter-Defendants’ breach of the agreement/contract has caused Counter- Plaintiffs substantial financial harm and losses, and for such substantial financial harm and losses Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
Count 4 Unjust Enrichment 34. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 4 in their entirety.
35. Recent events now give rise to a concern on Counter-Plaintiffs’ behalf that Counter- Defendants may deny the agreement/contract (and/or some terms of the agreement/contract) as between Counter-Plaintiffs and Counter-Defendants — all in an effort by Counter-Defendants to wrongfully abscond with Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment + earnings. Such a result would be inequitable, and unjustly enrich Counter-Defendants.
36. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that Counter-Plaintiffs did, in fact, provide seed capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to Orca/ICI /Orca as a benefit to Counter-Defendants, and to allow Counter-Defendants to invest (again, the Investment). This benefit to Counter-Defendants was provided by Counter-Plaintiffs, and it will cause a substantial detriment to Counter-Plaintiffs if the Investment + earnings are not returned to Counter-Plaintiffs. As such, equity demands that the Investment + earnings be returned to Counter-Plaintiffs or compensation for value.
37. For these reasons set forth herein, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue Counter-Defendants for unjust enrichment, as fairness demands Counter-Plaintiffs be made whole by: (1) return of all
Investment (+ earnings); or (2) the value of all Investment (+ earnings) be paid by Counter- Defendants to Counter-Plaintiffs.
Count 5 Breach of Constructive Trust 38. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 5 in their entirety.
39. As noted above, Counter-Defendant L.Berry has been a shareholder, officer, and director of Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. Counter-Defendant L.Berry held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. L.Berry, as trustee for the Trust, held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for the Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. As such, Counter-Defendants owed and owe fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times.
40. Counter-Plaintiffs made transfer of monies/assets to Counter-Defendants (money, manpower, and assets). Counter-Plaintiffs made these transfers of monies/assets in reliance upon Counter-Defendants’ promise to protect and deliver Counter-Plaintiffs’ share of the Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs.
41. Counter-Defendants now refuse to perform upon Counter-Defendants’ promise (but rather now wants to keep for L.Berry’s and his Trust’s own gain/profit all of the Investment (+ earnings)).
As such, Counter-Defendants will be unjustly enriched. Given these facts, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue for breach of constructive trust for the Investment (+ earnings) and related, traceable monies/assets. All such monies and assets should be placed in a constructive trust for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs or distributed to same.
Count 6 Fraud 42. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 6 in their entirety.
43. As noted above, Counter-Plaintiffs invested heavily ($millions$, the Investment) in ICI, Orca ICI, Orca, and other Berry-Related Entities for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. Such Investment was seed-money/assets for — and investment in — Berry-Related Companies.
44. Counter-Plaintiffs invested the millions of dollars/assets based specifically upon Counter- Defendants’ representations/promises to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control investments in the Eagle Ford Shale and/or Permian Basin for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs (which is also for the benefit of L.Berry and his Trust, in part).
45. More specifically, and to induce the Investment, Counter-Defendants promised to re-pay the original value of the Investment ($millions$) to the Counter-Plaintiffs; and further promised that the Investment would be for the benefit of the Counter-Plaintiffs (and understandably so given that L.Berry and the Trust would still share substantially in the benefits/profits).
46. Instead, Counter-Defendants — although Counter-Defendants have paid some interest- only payments from time to time — have absconded with all or a substantial portion of the value of the Investment monies/assets + earnings. On information and belief, Counter-Defendants apparently made interest payments to prolong the process (run out the clock) — all the while never intending to re-pay the original value of the Investment; and all the while never intending to deliver such Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs.
47. Presently, Counter-Defendants have gone dark on this discussion, and thereby indicated that L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust, never intended to abide by the representations/promises designed to induce the Investment.
48. Counter-Defendants’ fraud/fraud in the inducement has resulted in substantial, unearned profits for Counter-Defendants, personally and for the Trust; and great financial losses to the Counter-Plaintiffs.
49. The above-described conduct constitutes fraud and fraud in the inducement, and thus is actionable in favor of one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs. For such fraud and fraud in the inducement, the Counter-Plaintiffs now file and assert all such claims and causes of action against Counter-Defendants.
VIII.
CAUSATION 50. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all above paragraphs as if set forth herein in their entirety.
51. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that all causes of action/claims set forth herein have been the cause, proximate cause, producing cause, and cause-in-fact of substantial harm and financial losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. For all such harm and financial losses, these Counter-Plaintiffs sue.
IX.
LEGAL DAMAGES 52. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all above paragraphs as if set forth herein in their entirety.
53. For all harm and financial losses suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs and arising from wrongful and/or inequitable conduct of Counter-Defendants, these Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
54. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the substantial harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; compensatory damages, actual damages, consequential damages, restitution damages, disgorgement damages, and other damages. Counter-Plaintiffs claims asserted herein are for substantial harm and financial losses greatly in excess of $1,000,000.00.
55. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; attorneys’ fees.
56. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; prejudgment and post-judgment interests — as allowed by law.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Counter-Plaintiffs pray for all relief as requested herein, for costs of court in addition thereto, and for such other and further relief to which Counter-Plaintiffs may show themselves justly entitled as against Counter-Defendants (L.Berry and the ALB Trust).

ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT PRODUCTION Pursuant to Tex. R. Civ. P. 196.4, Plaintiff requests that any electronic or magnetic data (which is included in the definition of “document” and “documents”) that is responsive to a request herein be produced in native format in the form and manner in which they are kept in the ordinary course of Your business unless such document must be redacted to remove privileged content.
Information which requires redaction or documents that are not available in electronic form (i.e. hard copy paper documents) shall be produced as searchable single page .TIF or multipage .PDF images logical unitization preserved. Redactions should not be accomplished in a manner that serves to downgrade the ability to electronically search the unredacted portions of the document.
All documents produced in native format shall be identified by naming the item to correspond to a Bates number, which should reflect pagination of the item when printed to paper or converted to an image format for use in proceedings or when attached to exhibits in pleadings.
For example, a Microsoft Word document produced by you in its native format might be named: TX00000000123.docx. Were the document to be printed out, page six of the printed item would be embossed with a unique identifier for that page, i.e. TX00000000123-0006. If it is not possible to emboss a page specific Bates number on the printed version of a document produced natively, then that document shall be provided in .TIF or .PDF format. If documents, such as electronic mail, are produced, the relationship between related documents (e.g., email attachments) should be preserved. In addition, all documents whose native format is that of an electronic spreadsheet, e.g., a Microsoft Excel file, shall also be produced in their native format, including the formulae imbedded in the spreadsheet and any metadata contained in the file, and should be linked via a “NATIVELINK” field in the DAT file. Plaintiff reserves the right to demand production in native format, including all metadata, of any other responsive documents for which the practical utility of TIFF-rendered production is limited, and You shall preserve all documents and metadata to which a duty of preservation attaches in their native format.
Documents produced in .TIF or .PDF format shall be identified by embossing a Bates number on each page in a manner that does not obscure content.
Parent/child relationships should be maintained (i.e., documents should be produced consecutively with their attachments). Folders and file names should be provided. The production should include a Concordance load file in .DAT format that includes: standard Concordance delimiters that divide the meta-data fields; a first line of the file containing the field names; and the following metadata fields: • BEGBATES • ENDBATES • BEGATTACH • ENDATTACH • CUSTODIAN • DATESENT • TIMESENT • DATERCVD • TIMERCVD • DATECREATED • TIMECREATED • DATELASTMOD • TIMELASTMOD • EMAIL_SUBJECT • FROM • TO • CC • BCC • TITLE • SUBJECT • AUTHOR • FILEPATH • FILENAME • FILEEXT • MD5HASH • FILESIZE • NATIVEFILE (Folder path for files • OCRPATH (Folder path for multi-page provided natively) text files)
Documents should be vertically de-duplicated by custodian, while ensuring that different versions of a document are not suppressed. All drafts of responsive documents must be produced, as well as non-identical copies.
If any aspect of the production format described above is not agreeable, please contact us to set up a meet-and-confer at your earliest convenience so we can work out a mutually agreeable solution.

BERRY: Let's start. August 6 at 10:06. We are going to start with the Beacon, Inc., shareholder meeting and I will read the minutes to you all from the last meeting.
1 L. BERRY: I have a general objection. I want to note that I was never properly removed from the Board of Directors of Beacon. I exercise my rights under Article 6, the Beacon Articles of Incorporation and *cumulatively vote my shares of Beacon against my removal to protect per Texas Business Organization Code 21.409 (c) the 1000 votes cast against my removal would have been sufficient to elect one director on a plurality basis if cumulatively voted at an election of three directors. So the votes removed me fail. Any action supposedly taken by the Beacon Board after my improper purported removal as a director are all unauthorized and invalid.
14 Additionally, I have not been provided with the minutes of the prior meeting despite requesting them in advance. I cannot vote to approve these minutes because I have not had time to review them and determine whether they are accurate nor do I believe that those minutes are accurate. The meeting minutes are inaccurate because I was not properly removed from the Board. I voted my shares *against my removal so I am still the director so I cannot vote to approve these minutes because they are inaccurate.
2 MS. BONNIE: No. That sounds like what I remember. I would like a copy of those minutes. But that is what happened in the meeting.
5 MR. HUMMELL: They are in there.
6 MS. BONNIE: They are?
7 MR. HUMMELL: They should be.
8 MS. BONNIE: Okay. Here they are.
11 MS. BONNIE: I so move.
12 L. BERRY: No. 13 M. BERRY: I say yes.
14 L. BERRY: Subject to my earlier objections.
16 UNIDENTIFIED: I say yes.
17 M. BERRY: All right. We are short one director of -- director of Beacon, Inc. I would suggest that we put Dr. Hinojosa in that spot.
20 MS. BONNIE: Since she is on Berry GP already.
22 M. BERRY: She is on Berry GP already.
25 M. BERRY: Do you have anybody you want to put on there, Lawrence?
2 L. BERRY: No. 3 (Pause.)
10 L. BERRY: I will get it to you in just a second.
14 L. BERRY: All right.
16 MS. BONNIE: I.
17 M. BERRY: I. Opposed. All right. So we will put Dr. Hinojosa in as the director of Beacon, Inc. 20 Being no further business, I will entertain a motion for adjournment of Beacon, Inc. 22 MS. BONNIE: Do you have anything else?
23 L. BERRY: I don't.
24 MS. BONNIE: So moved.
25 M. BERRY: I second.
1 MR. HUMMELL: What time is it?
2 M. BERRY: 10:09. All in favor of adjournment.
4 M. BERRY: I.
5 MS. BONNIE: I.
7 ******* ACCESS MIDSTREAM HOLDINGS, LLC 10 M. BERRY: Next is Access Midstream Holdings. Access Midstream Holdings, LLC is -- what we want to do is I just want it clarified. I want it fixed. Papers show different things. Butch says that Lawrence owns this solely.
15 L. BERRY: That is not true.
16 M. BERRY: That's what he told the attorney. I know it's not true.
23 MS. BONNIE: Who funded it?
24 L. BERRY: Me. 25 MS. BONNIE: You funded it personally with your own money?
2 L. BERRY: Yes, ma'am.
3 MS. BONNIE: Can you produce -- I am going to have to do it any way for the 706 and IRS. Can you produce Articles of Incorporation, directors, shareholders, bylaws.
7 L. BERRY: Absolutely. It's all here somewhere already.
9 M. BERRY: On our behalf and your husband's behalf -- I guess your behalf too, there is a Lone Star Ports, LLC; Alan Lawrence Berry, Marvin Glen Berry and Dennis Berry, Plaintiffs. We sued the Carlyle Group, LP, Carlyle Investments Management, LLC and Carlyle Global Infrastructure Opportunity. In that it says that the plaintiffs request a declaratory judgment.
16 Plaintiffs own 100 percent of the membership and all equity interest in the project Lone Star Ports and each project company and until the day of -- you can read it yourself but it says we all own parts of it.
20 L. BERRY: Never been a doubt about that.
21 M. BERRY: I am just trying -- 22 MS. BONNIE: But you are saying you own it.
24 L. BERRY: I didn't say I owned it. I said I funded it. You have to have Ted unwind this shit. I am not the author of this model -- 2 MS. BONNIE: It's a lot for me to unwind.
3 L. BERRY: Don't worry. I don't understand it either.
5 M. BERRY: So what I am saying is I want the paperwork to reflect the fact that we have three owners of this company. That's what I want, nothing much.
9 L. BERRY: I believe it does.
10 M. BERRY: Do what?
12 M. BERRY: It doesn't. We pulled it up and it doesn't. I don't know if it does or not. I don't have nothing here to tell me one way or the other to be honest -- the documents.
16 MS. BONNIE: Where is it going to be, Lawrence, if you think it's here?
18 L. BERRY: No, I know it's here. I just don't know where. I could not say. I'm happy to discuss the ownership structure of Access Midstream with no formal actions to be taken this meeting with respect to Access Midstream because it was not validly noticed and because Marty had no authority to act as non-members and non-managers.
25 MS. BONNIE: Well, who is the manager?
1 L. BERRY: It's Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC.
3 MS. BONNIE: Of Access Midstream?
4 L. BERRY: Access Midstream Holdings, yes. That's what my chart says.
6 M. BERRY: Lone Star Ports, LLC owns it?
7 L. BERRY: Yes.
8 MR. HUMMELL: Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC is what he just said.
10 MS. BONNIE: So are they different?
11 Because that's really confusing.
12 L. BERRY: This was all structured with Carlyle. That's why I said you are going have to Ted to unwind this. It's -- there is a bunch. It's like mess of spaghetti. All I know is that we own it together at the end of the day.
17 M. BERRY: I just want to see the documents that show that I own it on my part. That's it.
20 MS. BONNIE: Well, me too.
21 M. BERRY: I want to have those documents by the end of the week to show that I own my part of this. I don't have them. You are shown as manager with the Secretary of State, Lawrence. You can fill that out in two minutes and change it and we can all have it. I just put this as something to talk about this meeting and that's really.
3 MR. HUMMELL: I think considering the Carlyle Group is out and that the Carlyle deal died by virtue of y'all's lawsuit back in 2019 that it makes sense to kill the Carlyle model.
7 MS. BONNIE: And clean it up.
8 MR. HUMMELL: And get this organized.
9 MS. BONNIE: So that all normal people can understand it.
11 MR. HUMMELL: Well, so you can do something if you get the permit. If you are able to move something along.
14 MS. BONNIE: When we get the permit. So Lawrence, the court requires in an estate upon the death to have what is created called a 706. So the IRS requires a snapshot in time of everything and anything that Dennis had of value except for possibly T-shirts and socks. But really it's that and we have to do that to establish a basis for his estate going forward. So by law, I have to have this information. The court will make it be produced.
23 L. BERRY: I understand. This is a liability not an obligation -- I mean, not an asset.
25 This whole thing.
1 MS. BONNIE: Why would that be?
2 L. BERRY: Because we owe a fortune to the Rachal Foundation that we contracted and we currently don't have anything to sell.
5 M. BERRY: We don't owe them. We've paid them all along.
7 L. BERRY: I know but you have a going forward contractual obligation to fund. So this constitutes a liability until the day you sell it pursuant to gap.
11 M. BERRY: It's a limited liability corporation. It does not make a difference if we owe or not.
14 L. BERRY: Bonnie, from an asset standpoint, it has negative value. Do you follow me?
16 MS. BONNIE: I do. I understand that.
17 But I still think that it has potential asset.
18 L. BERRY: It does for sure. But for your purposes, this has no value. That's the most important thing.
21 MS. BONNIE: Well, it's really not because what we are trying to do is establish a basis as much as we can get it at right now, Lawrence, so that when I die -- the point from the basis forward is what my kids are going to be taxed on. Does that make sense to you?
2 L. BERRY: Yes, it does.
3 MS. BONNIE: So if it's low and there is this much more assets, this much more appreciation -- 5 L. BERRY: Oh, that's right. You're his wife. I forgot about that.
7 M. BERRY: Access Midstream does not have any obligation, whatsoever, to the Foundation.
9 MR. HUMMELL: That lease is with a completely different entity.
11 M. BERRY: We will talk about that in a minute. This has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
13 This is what the permit is going to come in and it will have value. It will have a lot of value provided everything else.
16 L. BERRY: More than it's ever had before now with the 75-foot dredge.
18 MR. HUMMELL: I heard that happened last week.
20 M. BERRY: Last time they had a permit like that, it only took 25-years to get funding.
22 MR. HUMMELL: Well, funding is another step but the permit is helpful. The bottom line though is Access Midstream does not have the obligation on the lease. The lease is owned by Canada Project Holdings, I think.
2 L. BERRY: The way I see it, if you look at the deal in totality, I agree each of these entities -- it's all -- it's like a big 'ol transmission, gears interconnected. So like I said, we are down to the sweet spot now and blessed by God, like I am so shocked that that permit was awarded, I just can't believe it. But it's a function of how effective Mr. Teague's people have been because this has all been Enterprise that screwed us.
11 MS. BONNIE: Who is Mr. Teague?
12 L. BERRY: The guy that runs Enterprise.
13 He told me when I met with him down at the Coronado Club when Bobby and I had that meeting, we stayed there for four hours, and at the end of the day when he shock my hand, looked real nice, Mr. Berry, I want you to come back see me when you have something to sell. He looked me right in the eyes and shook my hand and squeezed real hard and said, good luck getting that permit and started laughing. I should have known I'd have a lot more respect for Mr. Teague now than I might have then. He scared the heck out of me.
23 MS. BONNIE: He's not the only game in town either.
25 L. BERRY: No. We have not responded to Exxon Mobile yet. This is right in their wheel house.
2 MR. HUMMELL: Did you say the permit has already been issued?
4 L. BERRY: No. It's approved for the Port, not issued.
6 MR. HUMMELL: Okay.
7 L. BERRY: Okay. Ours is -- we are right there not anything else that can happen to us that I am aware of. We have checked everything. It's just eminent from everything I can hear and every meeting I've sat in. Eminent being cool and then the joker in all of this is that there has been a recommendation made Gibson bought Buckeye's terminal in Ingleside point, about the size of Naval Air Station.
15 Their docks are inadequate. They are just a huge fiasco. They are -- Gibson needs another dock and the nearest term and most cost effective way for one to get one is our project. You have to remember that decreases our cap X by like $300 million because they have all that tankage already. It's a line from Ingleside Point to Red Fish Bay. All of a sudden your cap X, there is no cross, there is no coming from Midway Junction, no pumps and tankage at Midway, everything is already there. So now this is just the last link in the chain, if you follow that. So Gibson owns Buckeyes.
1 MR. HUMMELL: So they have a tank farm there already?
3 L. BERRY: Yeah, big giant -- 4 MR. HUMMELL: So all they got to do is connect their tank farm to Red Fish Bay.
6 L. BERRY: To the lines going across.
7 They've already had board meeting -- 8 MR. HUMMELL: Can I stop you there?
9 L. BERRY: Sure.
10 MR. HUMMELL: I am afraid I might be missing something.
12 Is the permit still good if you abandon parts of the project?
14 L. BERRY: Of course.
15 MR. HUMMELL: Okay.
16 L. BERRY: They have to know the whole title going backwards what you are doing. If you have less impact, you are decreasing a whole bunch of scope because it's already been done. Then the plan is for Gibson to convert their docks into LPG which -- because LPG vessels are smaller, physically not as imposing as something a quarter mile long.
23 MR. HUMMELL: But you have to have, for instance, a pipe connect from Gibson to Red Fish Bay that you don't have.
1 L. BERRY: Straight down that *right a way.
3 MR. HUMMELL: But you don't have that now. So if that's going to be added to what y'all have in place, won't that change your permit.
6 L. BERRY: Not at all.
7 MR. HUMMELL: Okay.
8 MS. BONNIE: So back to -- 9 MR. HUMMELL: Who owns Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC?
11 L. BERRY: Us.
12 MS. BONNIE: Who is us?
13 MR. HUMMELL: The three brothers?
14 L. BERRY: The three trusts.
15 MR. HUMMELL: The three trusts?
16 L. BERRY: As I recall.
17 MS. BONNIE: And where are those Articles of Incorporation.
19 M. BERRY: Hey, I think we ought to stick to one thing at a time. All of these things are going to come up.
22 MS. BONNIE: What were we on? Lone Star Ports?
24 M. BERRY: We are on Access Midstream.
25 Access Midstream Holdings.
1 MS. BONNIE: You say this is under the umbrella of Lone Star Port-- 3 M. BERRY: I did not say that. That's what Lawrence is saying. It's a separate entity.
5 L. BERRY: Manager of Access Midstream Holdings is Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC.
7 MS. BONNIE: Then we follow the flow chart. Is Lone Star Ports, LLC -- okay. Sole manager of Access Midstream Holdings, LLC is Loan Star Ports.
10 L. BERRY: Enterprises, LLC.
11 MS. BONNIE: Lone Star Port Enterprises.
12 Do you have anything that you want to action or are we just trying to figure this out?
14 M. BERRY: I can't do the action. Only Lawrence can do the action. I want to be put down as my ownership. It will also exhibit your ownership of Access Midstream. It's nothing more than one piece of paper and that can be done by the end of the week.
19 MR. HUMMELL: Well, if the three of y'all all are members of Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC, then you all own Access Midstream Holdings, LLC.
22 M. BERRY: Then let's see that paperwork.
23 MR. HUMMELL: Yes, I got it.
24 MS. BONNIE: How do we get that?
25 M. BERRY: Lawrence has got it. It has to come from him.
2 MS. BONNIE: Well, this isn't pre-digital era. This is not the 1950s.
4 L. BERRY: All of this was executed.
5 Should be copies here. I don't know where but it is here.
7 MR. HUMMELL: Here in Corpus?
8 L. BERRY: Corpus, yes. All of this was -- like the originals are going to end up being here.
11 M. BERRY: So you would have no problem if we went and filled out a Secretary of State deal right now showing all three of us as owners as signing it. If you are listed as the manager with the Secretary of State, the only way it can happen is you sign it.
16 L. BERRY: Marty, I don't have a problem clarifying all this. I've never had a problem with all of that. I don't know why you think that would be an issue. I never been an impediment to getting a God thing done around here.
21 M. BERRY: Good. Let's get that done today then. It's simple.
23 MS. BONNIE: You'll deal with this. I have to understand it to feel competent that I know what is going on in front of a judge, Lawrence.
1 L. BERRY: Understood.
2 MS. BONNIE: So you will get -- you will get the form corrected with the Secretary of State that indicates that three -- the brothers own this.
5 M. BERRY: Whatever it takes for clarity, I don't have a problem with.
7 MS. BONNIE: Let's make sure that we understand this, Marty -- 9 L. BERRY: All that being said -- we are like tippy toeing -- to understand all this shit, we need Ted.
12 MS. BONNIE: Well, let's finish with the guts of it and then maybe Ted can come and draw some pictures.
15 L. BERRY: I am more than willing to clarify whatever we have to do, Marty.
17 MS. BONNIE: Thank you, Lawrence, for that. So because manager, a sole manager of Access Midstream is Lone Star Port Enterprises, LLC -- 20 M. BERRY: Sole owner or sole manager?
21 L. BERRY: Member and manager.
22 MS. BONNIE: Member and manager?
23 MR. HUMMELL: Owner and controller.
24 MS. BONNIE: Is that extrapolated from -- 25 MR. HUMMELL: Members are owners.
1 Managers are -- they manage the entity.
2 MS. BONNIE: Managers are owners.
3 MR. HUMMELL: When you are talking about an LLC, the members actually own and the managers run or operate.
6 MS. BONNIE: Okay. All right. So put that on your list, Lawrence, please, to file with Secretary of State that clears that up.
9 M. BERRY: The sole member and manager of Access Midstream Holdings is?
11 MS. BONNIE: Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC, right? Is that right, Lawrence?
13 L. BERRY: Yes, that's what it says here.
14 MS. BONNIE: Okay. Where are you reading from, is that from -- 16 L. BERRY: All my notes from my counsel.
17 MS. BONNIE: Okay. But we still don't have anything official saying that except for what your counsel says. Maybe Ted has it.
20 M. BERRY: It will be easily changed, nothing to it.
22 MS. BONNIE: Are we through with Access Midstream Holdings meeting?
24 M. BERRY: This is not a -- more of a clarification. I might have called it a meeting. I want to get it clarified. That's all a number of these really are.
3 MS. BONNIE: So anything -- who are the officers and directors right now, Lawrence, of Access?
5 Do you know?
6 L. BERRY: No. It's Lone Star Ports.
7 MS. BONNIE: Okay. So whoever's managers, officers or directors of Lone Star Ports is the same by default -- by association, I should say.
10 M. BERRY: Let's just move on from Access Midstream. The only request is it says it's owned or whatever, it's to reflect our third, third, and third ownership.
14 We will go ahead and move to Lone Star Ports, LLC. Lone Star Ports, LLC that one is still owned by the Carlyle group. Period. No question about that. So there is a bunch of Lone Star Ports -- 18 L. BERRY: I don't think so, Marty. They tendered all the stocks.
20 MR. HUMMELL: Secretary of State is what he is talking about. If you look on the website.
22 L. BERRY: We settled with them they tendered their stocks so I don't think they own anything anymore.
25 MR. HUMMELL: But it never got changed APPENDIX 24 CAUSE NO. _____________ ALBERT THEODORE POWERS; § IN THE DISTRICT COURT ALLIED PORTS LLC, § § Plaintiffs, § § v. § HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS § AXIS MIDSTREAM HOLDINGS, § LLC; ALLEN LAWRENCE BERRY; § MARVIN GLENN BERRY; AND § BONNIE BERRY, as successor in § interest to DENNIS WAYNE BERRY § § Defendants. § ____ JUDICIAL DISTRICT
PLAINTIFFS’ VERIFIED ORIGINAL PETITION AND APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
SUMMARY OF PLAINTIFFS’ CLAIMS Plaintiffs Albert Theodore Powers (“Powers”) and Allied Ports LLC (“Allied”) file this lawsuit to protect their management rights and 20% interest in a crude oil delivery system and terminal project to which the Berry Defendants agreed and Plaintiffs earned. Marvin Glenn Berry (“Marty”) and Bonnie Berry, as successor in interest to Dennis Wayne Berry (“Bonnie”), have made clear they will not honor their agreements even though their own brother Defendant Allen Lawrence Berry (“Lawrence”) acknowledges Plaintiffs’ interest. Plaintiffs need immediate assistance from the Court to restrain Defendants from conducting an unauthorized and improper purported November 6, 2024 meeting in which Marty and Bonnie intend to illegally and without authority transfer management, ownership and control of Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC (“Axis”) into Berry GP, Inc., which is an entity outside the agreed to structure for the project.
In so doing, the Berry Defendants plan to take control of the project and deprive Plaintiffs of their management and ownership interest. If the unauthorized and improper November 6, 2024 meeting is allowed to go forward, Plaintiffs will be irreparably harmed and will have no adequate remedy for the loss of their rights and interest.
PARTIES 1. Plaintiff Albert Theodore Powers is an individual residing in New York, New York.
2. Plaintiff Allied Ports, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company and designee of Powers’ interest under the agreements with the Berry Defendants. Its registered agent’s address is at 16192 Coastal Hwy, Lewes, Delaware 19958.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE 8. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction because the relief sought is within the jurisdictional limits of this Court. At this time, Plaintiffs seek monetary and non-monetary declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees and expenses. Tex. R. Civ. P. 47.
9. Venue is proper in this district because Powers and the Berry Defendants entered into written agreements constituting a “major transaction” providing for venue in Harris County, Texas. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 15.020. Venue is additionally proper because one of the defendants is a citizen of Harris County, Texas, and a substantial part of the events giving rise to Plaintiffs’ claims occurred in Harris County, Texas. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §15.002.
FACTS 10. In 2018, Defendant Lawrence came up with the idea of creating a crude oil delivery and export facility in and around the Corpus Christi Port (the “Project”). Lawrence and his brothers Marty and Dennis decided to pursue the Project. The Project has been touted by the Port of Corpus Christi as a “state-of-the-art petroleum export terminal” and the “deepest-draft safe harbor crude export facility in the nation when commissioned.”2 11. On October 31, 2018, Defendant Lawrence telephoned Plaintiff Powers in New York and requested him to come to Houston because he and his brothers needed Powers’ expertise for the Project. The Berry Defendants had previously worked with Powers (who was at the time of the prior engagement a business transaction lawyer). The Berry Defendants engaged Plaintiff https://portofcc.com/port-of-corpus-christi-commission-approves-50-year-lease-agreement-with-carlyle-group- joint-venture/ (last accessed October 30, 2024).
Powers to represent them and advise them in shaping, structuring, securing financing for, and furthering development of the Project. The Berry Defendants sought Powers’ expertise because they were in the process of negotiating with a private equity firm to obtain financing for the Project.
12. Powers met with the Berry Defendants in Houston in November 2018 to, among other things, discuss his compensation in connection with his role in the Project. Powers and the Berry Defendants agreed that Powers would be paid a base compensation of $100,000 per month plus expenses.
13. Additionally, the Berry Defendants agreed that Powers would receive a 20% interest in the Project subject to priority distributions to the Berry Defendants of $250,000,000 plus a 10% preferred return on the outstanding balance of such amount. This agreement was confirmed by the Berry Defendants at a later meeting in Houston in late November 2018 and later memorialized in a written Compensation Agreement and written Investment Agreement in 2019 (collectively, the “Agreements”). Ex. 1; Ex. 2.
14. At first, all parties performed the Agreements. Powers spent most of his working time in Houston where he stayed in an apartment paid for by the Berry Defendants and he worked tireless hours on the Project. Powers’ work involved developing and implementing a structure for the Project and trying to arrange a financing package for the Project. On behalf of the Berry Defendants and himself, Powers created several entities and drafted operating agreements for those entities. Those documents were shared and fully discussed with all of the Berry Defendants. There were various meetings (most of which took place in Houston, Texas) between Powers and the Berry Defendants to discuss the Project and the structure of the Project. In addition, Powers negotiated the terms of a potential transaction with a private equity firm on behalf of the Berry Defendants and himself. Eventually, in February 2019, Powers’ efforts resulted in a signed term sheet with a well-respected private equity firm, the Carlyle Group, though that transaction ultimately was not completed. As the parties had agreed, the Berry Defendants paid Powers $100,000 per month plus expenses beginning in November 2018.3 15. The Investment Agreement sets forth a specific process for creating and structuring the entities involved in the Project. Ex. 2 at ¶¶ 1-2. Accordingly, Powers and the Berry Defendants set about to structure the chain of entities to hold different interests. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Powers formed and designated Plaintiff Allied Ports LLC to own his 20% interest.
16. In most of the documents exchanged between the parties, the agreed to corporate structure for the Project was as follows:
In April 2020, the Berry Defendants asked Powers to defer his monthly compensation to free up cash for the Project.
Knowing he had an interest in the Project, Powers agreed to do so. Since April 2020, Powers has not been paid his monthly compensation. The Berry Defendants continued to pay Powers’ expenses under the agreement until June 2023. Since June 2023, Powers has neither been paid his monthly compensation nor reimbursed his expenses, in breach of the Agreements.
17. In this agreed to structure for the Project, the five owners of the Project are listed along the top. Redfish Bay Terminals, Inc. (“Redfish”) is owned by Berry GP, Inc. (the Berry Defendants’ company), Capella is believed to be beneficially owned by or for the benefit of Lawrence and his family, Arcturus is believed to be beneficially owned by or for the benefit of Bonnie (through Dennis) and her family, Sirius is believed to be beneficially owned by or for the benefit of Marty and his family, and Allied Ports is owned by Powers. Thus, the Parties agreed that the Project is owned in equal percentages by the three Berry Defendants, Powers (subject to the $250 million hurdle and the 10% priority return thereon) and Redfish. This structure was reaffirmed and further memorialized in two separate written Amended and Restated Operating Agreements of Lone Star Ports Holdings, LLC (including the current Operating Agreement4) and has been in place for more than five years.
18. Of the several entities formed, in particular focus in this lawsuit (and the temporary relief sought) is Defendant Axis. Axis was formed to hold intangible property of the Project, including the permitting rights associated with development of the Project. Axis’s sole Member and Manager is Lone Star Ports Enterprises, LLC (“LSPE”), which through the chain of entities above is ultimately managed by Plaintiff Allied Ports, LLC.5 Most importantly, none of the Berry Defendants (including Marty and Bonnie) have individual ownership or management rights in Axis or any other of the entities in its chain of ownership.6
Lone Star Ports Holdings, LLC’s applicable Operating Agreement will be provided to the Court in camera and separately to counsel and labeled Exhibit 6.
LSPE’s sole Member and Manager is Lone Star Ports Ventures, LLC (“LSPV”). LSPV’s sole Member and Manager is Lone Star Ports Holdings, LLC (“LSPH”). LSPH has five Members, each owning 20% of the membership units. Plaintiff Allied Ports LLC is LSPH’s sole Manager.
Axis’s applicable Operating Agreement will be provided to the Court in camera and separately to counsel and labeled Exhibit 7.
19. During the first six years of the development of the Project, almost all of the work was performed by Lawerence, Powers, staff, and third-party consultants. Very little, if any, of the work was done by Marty or Dennis Berry. However, things changed in 2024 when Marty and Bonnie sensed that the permit for the Project was about to be approved. Now, Marty and Bonnie contend that the Project is owned by the Berry Defendants and that the Plaintiffs have no ownership interest in the Project. On August 28, 2024, Mike Hummell, the General Counsel of Berry GP, Inc wrote to Lawerence expressing that the Project was only owned by the Berry Defendants:
Ex. 3.
20. In the same letter, Hummell suggested that ownership and control of the Project should be transferred to Berry GP. See id. (“I suggest you, Bonnie and Marty consider consolidating ownership into a Berry entity to reflect this.”).
21. In the same letter, Hummell recognized that Berry GP, Marty, or Bonnie did not own Axis and that it was instead owned by Lone Star Ports Enterprises LLC—one of the entities in the chain of ownership created as contemplated by the Investment Agreement. Id. The letter further requested that Lawrence provide Marty and Bonnie “with the name or names of the true owner of Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC.” Id.
22. On October 22, 2024, the Project received monumental news—the Department of the Army issued Axis a permit for construction of the Project. Almost six years of work was beginning to take shape. But just days later, Berry GP’s General Counsel Hummell sent an email (acting for Berry GP, Marty, and Bonnie) indicating that he was “going to file paperwork” to change the ownership of the Axis solely to the Berry Defendants, even after he previously recognized that the Berry Defendants did not own Axis. Ex. 4. Changing the ownership of Axis is part of an overall plan to divest Plaintiffs of their interest by breaching the Investment Agreement by taking Axis out of the established and agreed to ownership chain of the Project now that the permit has been issued.
23. Marty and Bonnie have purported to call a “meeting of owners” of Axis for November 6, 2024, where they intend to take action on (1) “Appointment and/or removal of Company Managers” and (2) Appointment and/or removal of Officers.” Ex. 5. This meeting is obviously improper given Marty and Bonnie are admittedly not “owners” of Axis. Moreover, changing the ownership and management would effectively divest Allied Ports of its ownership and management rights in the Project, which constitutes a breach of the Investment Agreement.
CAUSES OF ACTION COUNT I- DECLARATORY JUDGMENT 24. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate all preceding allegations.
25. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment to determine the rights, status, or other legal relations of the parties related to the ownership, the applicable operating agreements, and corporate structure of the project at issue. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 37.004(a). A dispute exists between the parties, as the Investment Agreement sets forth the proper entity structure, ownership, and management of the Project. Importantly, the Investment Agreement may be construed by the Court before there has been an actual breach. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 37.004.
26. Plaintiffs seek the following declarations: a. The Compensation Agreement is a valid, enforceable, agreement against Lawrence Berry, Marty Berry, and Bonnie Berry (as successor to Dennis Berry); b. The Investment Agreement is a valid, enforceable agreement against Lawrence Berry, Marty Berry, and Bonnie Berry (as successor to Dennis Berry); c. The Investment Agreement provides that Plaintiff Powers owns, through his designee, Allied Ports, LLC, a twenty percent (20%) interest in the Project (as defined in the Investment Agreement) subject to “priority distributions to the Berry Defendants or their designees of Two Hundred Fifty Million United States Dollars ($250,000,000) plus a ten percent (10%) cumulative preferred return on the outstanding balance of such amount.”
d. Transferring ownership, management, and control of Axis or any other interest of the entities involved in the Project inconsistent with the entity structure provided under the Investment Agreement constitutes a breach of the Investment Agreement.
COUNT II- BREACH OF CONTRACT 27. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate all preceding allegations.
28. Under the Compensation Agreement and Investment Agreement, Powers is entitled to $100,000 per month plus expenses in cash compensation. Powers performed and continues to perform by providing the services set forth in the Agreements.
29. Lawrence, Marty, and Bonnie (through Dennis) have failed to pay Powers’ compensation and expenses incurred under the Compensation Agreement and Investment Agreement, breaching the Agreements.
30. Powers has been damaged in an amount that exceeds the jurisdictional limits of this Court.
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 31. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate all preceding allegations.
32. Marty and Bonnie have breached and/or intend to breach their agreements with Powers and have expressed their intent to proceed with a course of action that will result in additional breaches in the future. More specifically, if Marty and Bonnie are allowed to proceed with the purported November 6, 2024 meeting and transfer ownership, management, and control of Axis to themselves, Plaintiffs will be deprived of their agreed to and bargained for management rights and 20% interest in the Project. Indeed, “loss of management rights over a company are unique, irreplaceable, and cannot be measured by a certain pecuniary standard.” Cheniere Energy, Inc. v. Parallax Enterprises LLC, 585 S.W.3d 70, 83 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2019, pet. dism’d); see also Sonwalker v. St. Luke’s Sugarland P’ship, L.L.P., 394 S.W.3d 186, 201 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2012, no pet.) (holding that termination of interest in a limited liability partnership would irreparably injure the Plaintiff because the Plaintiff would lose management rights like selecting a governing board and blocking major actions).
33. If Defendants are not immediately restrained from violating the Investment Agreement, Plaintiffs will suffer concrete, particularized and irreparable harm. Plaintiffs will lose their management rights and 20% interest, both of which are unique and cannot be purchased on the open market.
34. Therefore, absent Court intervention, Plaintiffs will have no adequate remedy at law. The only adequate relief, while the merits of the claims are being determined, is to maintain the status quo of ownership of Axis and all other entities and assets associated with the Project.
Otherwise, Plaintiffs bargained-for rights and interest could be irreparably lost forever.
35. The injury to Plaintiffs should Defendants be allowed to proceed with breaching their agreements would greatly outweigh any injury (to the extent there is injury at all) to Defendants in delaying any change in ownership of Axis or of any other entity, property, or tangible or intangible rights associated with the Project until the Court rules on the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims.
36. Accordingly, to preserve the status quo during the pendency of this action, Plaintiffs respectfully request a temporary restraining order precluding Defendants, their employees, agents, representatives, and any others acting on their behalf from taking any of the following actions: a. Holding the “Meeting of Owners” of Axis noticed for November 6, 2024; b. Holding any meetings that in any way seek to affect the management or ownership interest of Axis or any other entity, property, or tangible or intangible rights associated with the Project until further order of the Court; c. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the management of Axis or any other entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court; d. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the ownership, property, or tangible or intangible rights of any entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court.
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY INJUNCTION 37. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate all preceding allegations.
38. Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court set this application for temporary injunction for hearing.
39. For the same reasons articulated in Plaintiffs’ application for temporary restraining order, and to preserve the status quo and Plaintiffs’ rights during the pendency of this action, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant and enter a temporary injunction precluding Defendants, their employees, agents, representatives, and any others acting on their behalf from taking any of the following actions: a. Holding the “Meeting of Owners” of Axis noticed for November 6, 2024; b. Holding any meetings that in any way seek to affect the management or ownership interest of Axis or any other entity, property, or tangible or intangible rights associated with the Project until further order of the Court; c. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the management of Axis or any other entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court; d. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the ownership, property, or tangible or intangible rights of any entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court.
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT 40. All conditions precedent have been performed or have been excused or waived.
ATTORNEYS’ FEES 41. Plaintiffs invokes and pleads Chapters 37 and 38 of the Civil Practices and Remedies Code of the State of Texas and requests an award of attorneys’ fees thereunder.
42. Plaintiffs had to retain the undersigned law firm to file this lawsuit and protect their rights. Plaintiffs request that this Court grant such attorney’s fees as this Court may deem reasonable and necessary for representing it in this action and for any appeals thereafter.
DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL Plaintiffs hereby demand a trial by jury in this action of all claims so triable.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF Plaintiffs request the following relief: A. A Declaration that: a. The Compensation Agreement is a valid, enforceable, agreement against Lawrence Berry, Marty Berry, and Bonnie Berry (as successor to Dennis Berry); b. The Investment Agreement is a valid, enforceable agreement against Lawrence Berry, Marty Berry, and Bonnie Berry (as successor to Dennis Berry); c. The Investment Agreement provides that Plaintiff Powers owns, through his designee, Allied Ports, LLC, a twenty percent (20%) interest in the Project (as defined in the Investment Agreement) subject to “priority distributions to the Berry Defendants or their designees of Two Hundred Fifty Million United States Dollars ($250,000,000) plus a ten percent (10%) cumulative preferred return on the outstanding balance of such amount.”
d. Transferring ownership, management, and control of Axis or any other interest of the entities involved in the Project inconsistent with the entity structure provided under the Investment Agreement constitutes a breach of the Investment Agreement.
B. Compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial; C. Temporary and Injunctive Relief including: a. Holding the “Meeting of Owners” of Axis noticed for November 6, 2024; b. Holding any meetings that in any way seek to affect the management or ownership interest of Axis or any other entity, property, or tangible or intangible rights associated with the Project until further order of the Court; c. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the management of Axis or any other entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court; d. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the ownership, property, or tangible or intangible rights of any entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court.
D. An award of attorneys’ fees in an amount to be proven at trial; E. Pre- and post-judgment interest; and F. All such other and further costs and relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Lawrence, Bonnie and Marty, I am going to file the paperwork to reflect the ownership of Axis Midstream lies in equal shares with all 3 of you. Rather than wait for a meeting I thought it most expeditious to see if we can do it by acclamation. How would you like to have ownership reflected? Individually? Through the company? The company has all the money in the permit process, and you each own equal shares. I am not sure of the difference in the filing, except to the extent it might impact taxes way on down the road. It might be best to have ownership in the company for now, and then to break it out later if need be.

Exhibit 5 NOTICE OF MEETING OF OWNERS OF AXIS MIDSTREAM HOLDINGS, LLC
OBJECTIVE: Meeting of Owners
Notice is now given that a Meeting of the Owners has been called by Marty Berry and Bonnie Berry and will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. located at 1414 Valero Way, Corpus Christi, Texas 78409.

The Court considered Plaintiff’s Application for a Temporary Restraining Order (“Application”) and the verification in support, and it appears from the specific facts set forth in said Application that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, and harm will result to Plaintiffs without entry of this Temporary Restraining Order. The Court finds that should the November 6, 2024 Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC meeting go forward and Defendants were to change, alter, or transfer the management and/or ownership of Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC, and such disposition would cause irreparable harm to Plaintiffs as the management and ownership interest of Plaintiffs would not likely be recovered.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that this Temporary Restraining Order shall continue in effect until the conclusion of the hearing on the Temporary Injunction hereinafter set, or until further order of this Court, restraining and enjoining Defendants Allen Lawrence Berry, Marvin
Glenn Berry, Bonnie Berry, Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC, their employees, agents, representatives, and any others acting on their behalf from: a. Holding the “Meeting of Owners” of Axis noticed for November 6, 2024; b. Holding any meetings that in any way seek to affect the management or ownership interest of Axis or any other entity, property, or tangible or intangible rights associated with the Project until further order of the Court; c. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the management of Axis or any other entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court; d. Changing, altering, or transferring in any way the ownership, property, or tangible or intangible rights of any entity associated with the Project until further order of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs post a bond in the amount of $_______.
This Order shall remain in effect until a hearing may be had on the Application for Temporary Injunction.
It is ORDERED that Defendants Allen Lawrence Berry, Marvin Glenn Berry, Bonnie Berry, Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC appeal on _____________________ at ________________ a.m./p.m. for a hearing on Plaintiff’s Application for a Temporary Injunction. The purpose of the hearing will be to determine whether this temporary restraining order should be made a temporary injunction pending a full trial on the merits.

Executive Summary 1. On November 27, 2023, Lawrence Berry (“L.Berry”) filed a lawsuit against M.Berry (his brother) in Harris County, Texas (Cause No. 2023-81703, 333rd Judicial District Court; the “First Harris County Lawsuit”).
2. On December 6, 2023, M. Berry filed his Emergency Motion to Transfer Venue, Emergency Motion for Leave for Expedited Hearing on Motion to Transfer Venue, and Original Answer, and the matter was transferred to Nueces County, Texas, by agreement of the parties (this First Harris County Lawsuit now referred to as the “Nueces County Lawsuit” (first-filed)).
3. After the First Harris County Lawsuit (now the Nueces County Lawsuit) was transferred to Nueces County, Texas, M.Berry and the Berry Entities counter-sued L.Berry.
4. On October 31, 2024, approximately a year after the first-filed Nueces County Lawsuit, Albert Theodore Powers and Allied Ports LLC (“Plaintiffs”) filed the instant matter in Harris County, Texas (Cause No. 2024-76060, 215TH Judicial District Court; the “Second Harris County Lawsuit”).
5. Both the Nueces County Lawsuit and Second Harris County Lawsuit relate to the on- going dispute between three (3) brothers: M.Berry, L.Berry, and Dennis Berry (“D.Berry,” now Bonnie Berry, surviving wife (“B.Berry”)). M.Berry, L.Berry, and D.Berry may be sometimes collectively referred to as the “Berry Brothers.”
6. Texas law abhors jurisdictional fights as between members of its judiciary. The rule in Texas is quite clear: the first-filed matter (the Nueces County Lawsuit) enjoys dominant jurisdiction of all matters (and interrelated matters) in dispute, and the second-filed case (the Second Filed Harris County Lawsuit) must be properly abated.
II.
Texas Law 7. In modern times, the seminal case discussing dominant jurisdiction is Wyatt v. Shaw Plumbing Company, 760 S.W.2d 245 (Tex. 1988). The Wyatt case affirms long-standing legal principles articulated in Cleveland v. Ward, 285 S.W. 1063 (Tex. 1926). With regards to the subject matter of dominant jurisdiction, the law is quite steady and consistent. The general rule is well established. “It is well settled that when suit would be proper in more than one county, the court in which suit is first filed acquires dominant jurisdiction to the exclusion of other courts.” Wyatt, at p. 248 (relying upon Cleveland v. Ward). As always in law, there are exceptions to the general rule,1 but none that apply to the circumstances of the present dispute. As such, this Second Harris County Lawsuit is properly abated.
8. The Cleveland case provides a great deal of clarity regarding the reasoning behind the long-standing rule that the first filed lawsuit acquires dominant jurisdiction. Rather than paraphrasing Cleveland’s powerful language, please consider the following excerpts: “Jurisdiction is power to hear and determine the matter in controversy according to established rules of law, and to carry the sentence or judgment of the court into execution.”2 “When suit was filed in the Johnson County district court, the jurisdiction of that court attached, with power on the part of the court to permit the pleadings to be amended and amplified, new parties to be made, to determine all essential questions, and to do any and all things with reference thereto authorized by the Constitution and statutes, or permitted district courts under established principles of law.”3 “The district court of Johnson County, then, in permitting the pleadings in that court to be amended so as to bring in parties interested in and to be affected by the decree sought, acted clearly within its express statutory jurisdiction and power to permit additional parties to be made ‘when they are necessary or proper parties to the suit.’”
“The case therefore stands in that court, in so far as any jurisdictional question is concerned, precisely upon the same basis as if the original pleading filed had embraced fully the declarations of the last amendment, and had made all of those who are now parties to the suit parties in the There are three exceptions to the general rule articulated in Cleveland v. Ward. A moving party may be estopped from asserting prior active jurisdiction. The general rule may not apply if its application makes it impossible for some of the necessary parties to be brought before a court’s jurisdiction. The general rule may not apply if there is a lack of intent by the parties to prosecute the first filed legal action. See Wyatt, at p. 248. Cleveland at p. 1069, citing Banton v.

first instance.”
“Since jurisdiction attached upon filing the suit in Johnson County, the rule is elementary that it could not be taken away or arrested by the subsequent proceedings in another court.”4 “The Johnson County court, having first acquired jurisdiction, may exercise it to dispose of the whole subject-matter of the litigation and adjust all the equities between the parties and is entitled to do so.”5 9. Simply stated: A court’s jurisdiction is established once a first filed lawsuit is filed of record. This first filed petition has power to hear the lawsuit, including the power to hear all claims set forth in amended pleadings and all claims set forth against parties later added to the lawsuit. Jurisdiction attaches at the time of the filing of the first lawsuit, and this first filed dominant jurisdiction cannot be taken away by a subsequently filed lawsuit. The lawsuit filed later-in-time is “abated” by the filing of the first filed lawsuit.6 10. Texas judicial authority speaks for itself (and does so more eloquently than might ever the undersigned attorney). Please consider further judicial authority: “The reason of the abatement of the subsequent suit by the first, where the latter is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction, and that jurisdiction has attached, is that, when the suit is brought, it is thereby segregated as it were from the general class to which it belonged, and withdrawn from the authority and jurisdiction of all other courts of coordinate power.”7 “It is a doctrine of law too long established to require a citation of Cleveland, at p. 1070, citing Palestine Water & P.

authorities, that, where a court has jurisdiction, it has a right to decide every question which occurs in the cause, and, whether its decision be correct or otherwise, its judgment, till reversed, is regarded as binding in every other court; and that, where the jurisdiction of a court, and the right of a plaintiff to prosecute his suit in it, have once attached, that right cannot be arrested or taken away by proceedings in another court. These rules have their foundation, not merely in comity, but on necessity. For, if one may enjoin, the other may retort by injunction, and thus the parties be without remedy; being liable to a process for contempt in one, if they dare to proceed in the other.”8 “Having the possession and jurisdiction of the case, that jurisdiction embraced everything in the case, and every question arising which could be determined in it until it reached its termination and the jurisdiction was exhausted. While the jurisdiction lasted it was exclusive, and could not be trenched upon by any other tribunal.”9 “Since the Dallas county district court [second filed lawsuit] had no jurisdiction of this particular case, what was done therein was necessarily void, for judicial action without jurisdiction is void.10 “It seems impossible that two courts can, at the same time, possess the power to make a final determination of the same controversy between the same parties. If either has authority to act, its action must necessarily be exclusive, and therefore it is our judgment that whenever either the state or the national courts acquire jurisdiction of an action and the parties thereto, this jurisdiction cannot be destroyed, diminished, or suspended by one of the parties bringing an action in another court, and that any judgment or order of the latter court is void so far as it conflicts with any judgment or order of the court first acquiring jurisdiction.”11 “This extract from Freeman we believe states the sound rule, and the only rule which will prevent races from court to court by vigilant counsel, such as this record discloses, and that conflict in the exercise of judicial power in evidence here, which we believe was never contemplated under our judicial system. Courts are erected to settle controversies, not to multiply them.12 Cleveland, at p. 1071.

11. The logic and clarity of the Texas Supreme Court opinion in the Cleveland case is undeniable. The first filed case establishes jurisdiction of the entire controversy. A second filed case cannot take away, destroy, or diminish the jurisdiction of the first filed case. The second filed case is properly abated. Any rulings in the second filed case are “void.”13 “Courts are erected to settle controversies, not to multiply them.”14 (emphasis added).
12. The Texas Supreme Court confirmed the Cleveland opinion in 1988.15 In Wyatt, the first filed lawsuit was filed in Duval County, and a second filed lawsuit was filed in Nueces County.16 In its Wyatt opinion, the Texas Supreme Court confirmed: “Because there was a difference in both issues and parties, Shaw argues that the Nueces County district court was not obliged to grant the plea in abatement. We disagree. . . . When an inherent interrelation of the subject matter exists in two pending lawsuits, a plea in abatement in the second action must be granted. It is not required that the exact issues and all the parties be included in the first action before the second is filed, provided that the claim in the first suit may be amended to bring in all necessary and proper parties and issues. . . . In determining whether an inherent interrelationship exists, courts should be guided by the rule governing persons to be joined if feasible and the compulsory counter-claim rule.”17 “ . . . We hold that the Nueces County district court was required to grant the plea in abatement because a previously filed suit between the parties was pending.”18 “It is well settled that when suit would be proper in more than one county, the court in which suit is first filed acquires dominant jurisdiction to the exclusion of other courts.19 Cleveland, at p. 1071.

“Abatement of a lawsuit due to the pendency of a prior suit is based on the principles of comity, convenience, and the necessity for an orderly procedure in the trial of contested issues.”20 13. From 1926 to present, Texas law has been quite clear. The first filed case has dominant jurisdiction. The second filed case is properly abated. As per Wyatt, “a plea in abatement in the second action must be granted.”
III.
Factual Background 14. Defendant M.Berry files this Plea in Abatement / Motion to Abate in support of an orderly administration of justice. M.Berry invites this Court’s consideration of the present circumstances as more fully described below.
15. On November 27, 2023, Lawrence Berry (“L.Berry”) filed a lawsuit against M.Berry (his brother) in Harris County, Texas (Cause No. 2023-81703, 333rd Judicial District Court; the “First Harris County Lawsuit”). This First Harris County Lawsuit alleged M.Berry was liable for self-dealing (loaning millions of dollars to support the Berry Brothers’ businesses, along with other allegations relating to interests is real property).21 D.Berry also loaned millions of dollars to support the Berry Brothers’ businesses, but was not a named defendant in the original lawsuit out of respect for his cancer diagnosis (now D.Berry’s interests represented by B.Berry, Dennis’ surviving wife).
Wyatt, at p. 248, citing McCurdy v. Gage, 123 Tex. 558, 565–66, 69 S.W.2d 56, 59, reh'g overruled per curiam and opinion adopted, 75 S.W.2d 1107 (Tex.Comm'n App. 1934).
See Exhibit 1 (L.Berry’s (Plaintiffs’) Original Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction).
16. On November 28, 2023, L.Berry obtained an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”). In part, the TRO restrained M.Berry from “selling, mortgaging, or otherwise encumbering any of the Berry Entities’ real property . . . .”22 17. On December 6, 2023, M.Berry filed his Emergency Motion to Transfer Venue, Emergency Motion for Leave for Expedited Hearing on Motion to Transfer Venue, and Original Answer. M.Berry’s Motion to Transfer venue relied, in part, upon the fact that L.Berry’s lawsuit was an action that involved an “interest in real property.”23 18. On December 7, 2023, an Amended Temporary Restraining Order (“ATRO”) “restrained [M.Berry] from selling any of the Berry Entities’ real property” and restrained M.Berry “from modifying the composition of the Board of Directors of any of the Berry Entities”24 – and confirmed the “parties have agreed to entry of a court order granting . . . [M.Berry’s] Motion to Transfer Venue” to Nueces County, Texas.25 19. On December 22, 2023, the First Harris County Lawsuit was transferred to Nueces County, Texas (now the “Nueces County Lawsuit” (first filed);26 and this Berry Brothers’ dispute about “Berry Entities’ real property” and control of the “Board of Directors of any of the Berry Entities” (L.Berry’s words) is still pending in Nueces County, Texas.
20. On January 23, 2024, M.Berry and the Berry Entities filed Counter-Plaintiff’s Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims (“Nueces County Counter-Petition”) against L.Berry complaining of L.Berry’s self-dealing (and other causes of action). M.Berry’s and Berry Entities’ Nueces County Counter-Petition complains of how Berry Entities seeded capital which – in turn – “became seed-money/assets . . . for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the Exhibit 2 (Temporary Restraining Order).

“Investment”);” but that “L.Berry[] has engaged a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in-meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/ shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs.” M.Berry and Berry Entities sue in such Counter- Petition for conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, and asserts other claims.27 21. On February 16, March 22 and March 25, 2024, the hearing on L.Berry’s Application for Temporary Injunction was heard and considered by the Honorable Judge Robert Galvan, 94TH Judicial District Court, Nueces County, Texas. With regard to L.Berry’s attempt to preclude sale of real estate interests, the Honorable Judge Robert Galvan ruled “there must be 48 hours notice to all of the Board members; whoever they may be at the time.” With regard to L.Berry’s attempt to preclude any change of directors (serving on Board of Directors), the Honorable Judge Robert Galvan ruled “ . . . the Court has heard evidence over a three-day period. Temporary injunction requested. Bylaws provide for the removal and appointment of a Board of Directors, so I’m not gonna interfere with that” – essentially denying the type-relief now sought in this new, Second Harris County Lawsuit.28 22. On April 15, 2024, M.Berry filed his Counter-Plaintiffs’ First Amended Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims (“Nueces County Amended Counter-Petition”) against L.Berry complaining of L.Berry’s self-dealing (and other causes of action). M.Berry’s Nueces County Amended Counter-Petition complains of how Berry Entities invested seed money in “Berry- Related Entities (the “Investment”),” . . . but that L.Berry “has engaged a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in-meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/ directors of Counter-Plaintiffs.” [M.Berry] In such counter-petition,
Exhibit 5.
Exhibit 6 (transcript of proceedings in Nueces County, Texas).
M.Berry and the Berry Entities sue L.Berry for conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, and asserts other claims.29 23. On May 8, 2024, the Berry Entities propounded discovery in the Nueces County Lawsuit (first filed) to L.Berry. In part, these Requests for Production defined “Berry-Related Companies” to mean the “Allen Lawrence Berry 2007 Trust, . . . Gansevoort Investments LLC, . . . Axis Midstream Holdings LLC (“Axis”), Lone Star Ports LLC (“Lone Star”), . . . and Midway Junction Properties LLC (“Midway”). Moreover, the Berry Entities’ formal, legal discovery in the first-filed Nueces County Lawsuit requested production of Axis Midstream Holdings LLC’s documents (Articles of Incorporation, Certificate of Organization, Operating Agreement, Organizational Meeting documents, Articles of Organization, Membership Interest Certificate, Membership Interest transfer ledger, and Meeting Minutes for each and every meeting of Axis); and requested production of Axis Midstream Holdings LLC’s “Current Balance Sheet,” “consolidated financial statement,” “most recent annual Profit and Loss statement,” and signed “financial statement.” Similarly, the Berry Entities’ formal, legal discovery in the first-filed Nueces County Lawsuit requested production of Lone Star Port LLC’s documents (Articles of Incorporation, Certificate of Organization, Operating Agreement, Organizational Meeting documents, Articles of Organization, Membership Interest Certificate, Membership Interest transfer ledger, and Meeting Minutes for each and every meeting of Lone Star Ports LLC); and requested production of Lone Star Ports LLC’s “Current Balance Sheet,” “consolidated financial statement,” “most recent annual Profit and Loss statement,” and signed “financial statement.”
Moreover, the Berry Entities’ formal, legal discovery in the first-filed Nueces County Lawsuit requested production of Midway Junction Properties LLC’s documents (Articles of
Exhibit 7.
Incorporation, Certificate of Organization, Operating Agreement, Organizational Meeting documents, Articles of Organization, Membership Interest Certificate, Membership Interest transfer ledger, and Meeting Minutes for each and every meeting of Midway Junction Properties LLC); and requested production of Midway Junction Properties LLC’s “Current Balance Sheet,” “consolidated financial statement,” “most recent annual Profit and Loss statement,” and signed “financial statement.”30 24. Axis Midstream Holdings LLC, Lone Star Ports LLC, and Midway Junction Properties LLC are three (3) of the critical legal entities made the subject of the Nueces County Lawsuit (first-filed). Reems of paper relating to these entities have already been the subject of discovery in the Nueces County Lawsuit. M.Berry and the Berry Entities have already sued L.Berry with regard to L.Berry’s wrongful conduct relating to Axis Midstream Holdings LLC, Lone Star Ports LLC, and Midway Junction Properties LLC (and many, many other companies for which L.Berry engaged the same wrongful conduct).
25. M.Berry would further show that emails as between the parties confirm the specific conflict as between M.Berry, Berry Entities, and L.Berry – relating to Axis Midstream Holdings LLC, Lone Star Ports LLC, and Midway Junction Properties LLC.
26. The matters made the subject of the first-filed Nueces County Lawsuit are interrelated with the matters made the subject of the Plaintiffs’ Second Filed Harris County Lawsuit.
Exhibit 8.
IV.
Argument 27. Plaintiffs’ Second Harris County Lawsuit – filed about a year after the Nueces County Lawsuit – alleges that “Marty and Bonnie contend that the Project is owned by the Berry Defendants [aka Berry Entities] . . . .” Plaintiffs Second Harris County Lawsuit endeavors to enjoin M.Berry and the Berry Entities from having meetings that “affect the management or ownership interest of Axis or any other entity, property, or tangible or intangible rights associated with the Project,” or “[c]hanging . . . management of Axis or any other entity associated with the Project.” These exact fights have already occurred in Nueces County, Texas, and more to come – apparently – in Nueces County Texas. Both lawsuits involve disputes relating to control of Berry-Related Entities (as between L.Berry, M.Berry, B.Berry, and the Berry Entities), and both lawsuits involve disputes relating to interests in real property (the same real properties).
28. As noted above, since 1926 to present, Texas law has been quite clear. The first filed case has dominant jurisdiction. The second filed case is properly abated. As per Wyatt, “a plea in abatement in the second action must be granted.”
“Since jurisdiction attached upon filing the suit in [Nueces] Johnson County, the rule is elementary that it could not be taken away or arrested by the subsequent proceedings in another court.”31 “The [Nueces] Johnson County court, having first acquired jurisdiction, may exercise it to dispose of the whole subject-matter of the litigation and adjust all the equities between the parties and is entitled to do so.”32

“Because there was a difference in both issues and parties, [Allied will] Shaw argues that the Harris Nueces County district court is was not obliged to grant the plea in abatement. We [Texas Supreme Court] disagree[s] . . . . When an inherent interrelation of the subject matter exists in two pending lawsuits, a plea in abatement in the second action must be granted. It is not required that the exact issues and all the parties be included in the first action before the second is filed, provided that the claim in the first suit may be amended to bring in all necessary and proper parties and issues . . . ”33 (emphasis added).
“ . . . We hold that the Harris Nueces County district court was required to grant the plea in abatement because a previously filed suit between the parties was pending.”34 “It is well settled that when suit would be proper in more than one county, the court in which suit is first filed acquires dominant jurisdiction to the exclusion of other courts.35 (emphasis added) “Courts are erected to settle controversies, not to multiply them.”36 29. Texas law is quite clear. In a matter such as this, the second filed action must be abated until such time as the first filed matter (the Nueces County Lawsuit) is completed – inclusive of all matters that may be interrelated and adjudicated therein. Applying Texas law to the circumstances of the present litigation can yield but one conclusion: the Nueces County Lawsuit (first-filed) acquired dominant jurisdiction, and the Second Harris County Lawsuit is properly abated.

PLAINTIFFS’ RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT’S PLEA IN ABATEMENT
INTRODUCTION This case involves the Defendants’ breaches of two contracts and attempt to steal away a valuable ownership interest in a project that was agreed to and earned by Plaintiffs. Now that their plan has been exposed, Defendant Marvin Berry (“Marty”) seeks to avoid this Court’s imposition of a Temporary Injunction in favor of Plaintiffs by filing delay-tactic motions1 that are, on their face, procedurally improper. Relevant here, Marty filed his Plea in Abatement (the “Plea”) at 5:09pm on Friday afternoon. He purportedly set it for hearing less than two business days after filing it in violation of this Court’s procedures. To begin with, this Court’s procedures state that a party may only file a Notice of Hearing “[a]fter confirming a date and time with the clerk.”
Plaintiffs do not believe that Marty confirmed the date and time of his purported hearing with the clerk of this Court. Further, this Court’s Procedures state that “[m]otions must have an order
Marty and Bonnie also filed a Motion to Transfer Venue (the “Motion”) at 4:55pm on Friday afternoon. That Motion has not been set for hearing, as the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure plainly require 45 days’ notice absent leave of Court (which has not been granted). Tex. R. Civ. P. 87.1. attached before the submission or oral hearing date, otherwise the Court will pass the current setting.” Marty did not submit a proposed order with his Plea and, hence, the purported hearing should be passed. Notably, none of the other defendants joined in his filing. Coupled with the Motion’s lack of merit, it is plain that the true intent of the late-Friday filing was merely an attempt at delay. Plaintiffs respectfully submit that this Court should not hear the Plea in Abatement until a hearing date is provided by this Court and the Plea is properly noticed pursuant to this Court’s procedures.
In his Plea, Marty seeks to hide behind the first-filed rule, claiming a different inter-family dispute among members of the Berry family (and several others not party to this case) pending in Corpus Christi (the “Berry Family Dispute”)2 has “dominant jurisdiction” over this one. That doctrine is plainly inapplicable. This was not a “race to the courthouse” situation where one party to the same dispute beats the other to court. None of the claims to be adjudicated in this case will be adjudicated in that case (and vice versa).
Nor are the lawsuits inherently related—Plaintiffs are not parties to the Berry Family Dispute (nor would they be proper parties). Plaintiffs are not members of the Berry family, nor do they care or have an interest in what disputes the Berrys and others may have amongst themselves.
This case is about the breach of two contracts between Plaintiffs and Allen Lawrence Berry (“Lawrence”), Marty, and Bonnie Berry (as successor in interest to her late husband Dennis Berry) that are not relevant to or implicated in the other lawsuit. When properly heard by this Court, the Plea should be denied.
Cause No. 2024DCV-0045-C, Lawrence Berry, et. al. v. Marty Berry, et. al., in the 94th Judicial District Court, Nueces County, Texas.
FACTS3 Plaintiffs’ Claims in this Case 1. In 2018, Defendant Lawrence came up with the idea of creating a crude oil delivery and export facility in and around the Corpus Christi Port (the “Project”). Lawrence and his brothers Marty and Dennis (succeeded by Bonnie) (the “Berry Defendants”) decided to pursue the Project. The Berry Defendants engaged Plaintiff Powers to represent them and advise them in shaping, structuring, securing financing for, and furthering development of the Project. The Berry Defendants sought Powers’ expertise because they were in the process of negotiating with a private equity firm to obtain financing for the Project.
2. The Berry Defendants agreed that Powers would be paid a base compensation of $100,000 per month plus expenses and receive a 20% interest in the Project subject to priority distributions to the Berry Defendants. This agreement was confirmed by the Berry Defendants at a later meeting in early December 2018 and memorialized in a written Compensation Agreement and written Investment Agreement in 2019 (collectively, the “Agreements”), confirming the compensation of $100,000 per month plus expenses and a 20% interest in the Project subject to a priority distributions to the Berry Defendants of $250,000,000 plus a 10% preferred return on the outstanding balance of such amount. Ex. 1; Ex. 2.
3. During the first six years of the development of the Project, almost all of the work was performed by Lawerence, Powers, staff, and third-party consultants. Very little, if any, of the work was done by Marty or Dennis Berry. However, things changed in 2024 when Marty and Bonnie sensed that the permit for the Project was about to be approved. Now, Marty and Bonnie contend that the Project is owned by the Berry Defendants and that the Plaintiffs have no ownership
Sections 1-7 are a condensed version of the facts set forth in Plaintiffs’ First Amended Petition. interest in the Project. On August 28, 2024, Mike Hummell, the General Counsel of Berry GP, Inc. wrote to Lawerence expressing that the Project was only owned by the Berry Defendants:
Ex. 3. Stated differently, the Berry Companies were now trying to proceed with the Project without including Plaintiffs and were seeking to deprive the Plaintiffs of the ownership that they had agreed to and earned.
4. In the same letter, Hummell suggested that ownership and control of the Project should be transferred to Berry GP. See id. (“I suggest you, Bonnie and Marty consider consolidating ownership into a Berry entity to reflect this.”).
5. In the same letter, Hummell recognized that Berry GP, Marty, or Bonnie did not own Axis and that it was instead owned by Lone Star Ports Enterprises LLC—one of the entities in the chain of ownership created as contemplated by the Investment Agreement. Id. The letter further requested that Lawrence provide Marty and Bonnie “with the name or names of the true owner of Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC.” Id. 6. On October 22, 2024, the Project received monumental news—the Department of the Army issued Axis a permit for construction of the Project. Almost six years of work was beginning to take shape. But just one day later, Berry GP’s General Counsel Hummell sent an email (acting for Berry GP, Marty, and Bonnie) indicating that he was “going to file paperwork” to change the ownership of the Axis solely to the Berry Defendants, even after he previously recognized that the Berry Defendants did not own Axis. Ex. 4. Changing the ownership of Axis is part of an overall plan to divest Plaintiffs of their interest by breaching the Investment Agreement by taking Axis out of the established and agreed to ownership chain of the Project now that the permit has been issued.
7. Marty and Bonnie purported to call a “meeting of owners” of Axis for November 6, 2024, where they intended to take action on (1) “Appointment and/or removal of Company Managers” and (2) Appointment and/or removal of Officers.” Ex. 5. This meeting was obviously improper given Marty and Bonnie are admittedly not “owners” of Axis. Moreover, changing the ownership and management would effectively divest Allied Ports LLC (“Allied Ports”) of its ownership and management rights in the Project, which constitutes a breach of the Investment Agreement. The Court has since issued a Temporary Restraining Order that, among other things, restrained the November 6, 2024 meeting from moving forward.
The Berry Family Dispute 8. Separate from this lawsuit, Lawrence, Marty, and many other Berry-related family members and/or employees are litigating what best appears to be an inter-family dispute over how their many jointly-owned companies have been managed: • Lawrence Berry’s Original Petition (Plea at Ex. 1. ¶ 1): “This action concerns the management and finances of several Texas companies—Berry GP, Inc.; Berry Operating Company LLC; and Berry Contracting LP (collectively, the Berry Entities)—which are majority owned in equal shares by Plaintiff Lawrence Berry and his two brothers, Marty Berry (“Marty”) and Dennis Berry (“Dennis”).”; see also id. at ¶¶ 53-82 (asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, knowing participation in a breach of fiduciary duty, demand for an equitable accounting, and demand for books and records).
• Berry Operating Company LLC, Berry Contracting LP and Marty Berry’s Original Petition Asserting Counterclaims (Plea at Ex. 5, ¶ 11): Counter-Plaintiffs file this counter-petition asserting claims against L. Berry for conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, fraud, and other causes of action. Counter-Plaintiffs’ causes of action pleaded against and complaining of L. Berry are directly responsive to L. Berry’s claims for self-dealing and breach of fiduciary duty filed against one or more Counter-Plaintiffs.”
9. There is nothing in either of the parties’ Petition mentioning Plaintiffs. Nor are the contracts for which Plaintiffs bring suit in this case mentioned. Indeed, the Lone Star Ports Project (which is the project that is the subject of this lawsuit) is not even mentioned in either of the petitions filed in the Corpus Christi Case. Similarly, there is no mention of the management and governance of the Berry Entities in this case. Indeed, the Berry Entities (as defined in the Corpus Christi petitions) are not even parties to this case. To be sure, Plaintiffs are not seeking to adjudicate any of the issues asserted among the Berry in the Berry Family Dispute, nor does it appear that the Berry Family Dispute will decide the issues presented before this Court.
ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES I. Dominant jurisdiction is inapplicable.
Marty asserts that the court presiding over the Corpus Christi dispute obtained dominant jurisdiction over this matter. Plea at pp. 12-13. Not so. If no “inherent interrelation” exists between the two lawsuits, dominant jurisdiction is not applicable, and both suits may proceed in the respective trial courts. See, e.g., In re J.B. Hunt Transp., Inc., 492 S.W.3d 287, 294 (Tex. 2016). On their face, these suits are not interrelated.
In determining whether an inherent interrelationship exists, courts should be guided by the compulsory counterclaim rule. Id. at 292 (discussing Tex. R. Civ. P. 97(a)). A counterclaim is compulsory if it is ““[1] within the jurisdiction of the court, [2] not the subject of a pending action, [3] which at the time of filing the pleading the pleader has against any opposing party, [4] if it arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing party’s claim and [5] does not require for its adjudication the presence of third parties of whom the court cannot acquire jurisdiction.” Tex. R. Civ. P. 97 (brackets inserted). The third and fourth elements are plainly lacking here.
A. Plaintiffs’ claims are not against an “opposing party” in the Corpus Christi suit.
A counterclaim is compulsory is if it is a claim “at the time of the filing the pleading the pleader has against any opposing party.” Tex. R. Civ. P. 97(a) (emphasis added). Plaintiffs’ claims are not “compulsory counterclaims” because they are not counterclaims at all.4 Plaintiffs are not even parties in the Corpus Christi suit and never have been (and should not be). Plaintiffs’ claims are based on two contracts between Plaintiff Powers and Lawrence, Marty, and Dennis they agreed that in exchange for his working on the Project, they would pay him $100,000 per month plus expenses, and he would receive a 20% interest in the Project subject to priority distributions to the Berry Defendants. Ex. 1; Ex. 2.
In fact, out of twelve different parties, only two overlap between the two cases: This Case Corpus Christi suit Plaintiffs: Albert Theodore Powers; Allied Plaintiffs: Lawrence Berry; Berry GP, Inc. Ports LLC Defendants: Marty Berry; Robert Rickett; Defendants: Axis Midstream Holdings, LLC; Robert Powers; Michael Hummell; Berry GP, Allen Lawrence Berry; Marvin Glenn Inc.; Berry Operating Company LLC; Berry Berry; Bonnie Berry (as successor in interest Contracting LP to Dennis Wayne Berry) Some courts, including the Wyatt court on which Marty relies, have stated that “[i]t is not required that the exact issues and all the parties be included in the first action before the second is filed,
“The compulsory counterclaim rule contemplates situations where the primary parties—the cross-plaintiff and at least one cross-defendant—are already before the court as parties to the action. It does not contemplate a situation where no cross-defendant is a party to the action and one can be brought in only with leave of the court and for such purposes only as the court may permit. The latter situation is governed by Tex. R. Civ. P. 38, concerning third-party practice.” 2 McDonald & Carlson Tex. Civ. Prac. § 9:79 (2d. ed.) (citing Heights Funeral Home v. McClain, 288 S.W.2d 839, 843 (Tex. App.—Beaumont 1956, writ ref'd n.r.e.)). provided that the claim in the first suit may be amended to bring in all necessary and proper parties.” Wyatt v. Shaw Plumbing Co., 760 S.W.2d 245, 247 (Tex. 1988). But that reasoning is obsolete and no longer consistent with Rule 97(a) or dominant jurisdiction doctrine. Indeed, the Texas Supreme Court in J.B. Hunt granted mandamus relief to correct another portion of the Wyatt opinion that varied from Rule 97(a)’s plain language. 492 S.W.3d at 294. Moreover, it is further inapplicable, when, as discussed below, the two suits do not arise from the same occurrence or transaction.
B. This case does not arise from the same transaction or occurrence as the Corpus Christi suit.
To determine whether a claim “arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing party’s claims,” Tex. R. Civ. P. 97(a), courts “apply a logical relationship test.” Encore Enter., Inc. v. Borderplex Realty Tr., 583 S.W.3d 713, 722 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2019, no pet.). This test is only met when the same facts, which may or may not be disputed, are significant and logically relevant to both claims. Id. Claims are logically related where separate trials on each claim “would involve substantial duplication of effort and time by the parties and courts.” White v. Rupard, 788 S.W.2d 175, 178 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1990, writ denied) These cases are not logically or logistically related. This case is a breach of contract and declaratory judgment case involving two distinct contracts between Plaintiffs and the Berry Defendants setting forth Plaintiffs’ compensation for one specific project—the Lone Star Ports project. See generally Plaintiffs’ First Am. Pet.; see also id. at Ex. 1, Ex. 2. The main issue in dispute—the Berry Defendants’ attempt to steal away Plaintiffs’ 20% interest in the Project—did not accrue until the last couple of months, long after the events of the Berry Family Dispute had taken place.
By contrast, the Berry Family Dispute involves allegations of improper loans and self- dealing between the owners of the various Berry entities, Berry GP Inc., Berry Operating Company LLC, and Berry Contracting LP (the “Berry Entities”)—none of whom are parties to this proceeding or the contracts at issue in this lawsuit. See generally Plea at Ex. 1; Ex. 5. In the Berry Family Dispute, Lawrence’s petition alleges that the Berry Entities have been “unlawfully usurped, controlled and mismanaged” by the Defendants in that suit, which include Marty. Id. at Ex. 1 at 2. On the other hand, Marty’s counterclaim alleges that Lawrence participated in self-dealing transactions that harmed the Berry Entities. Id. at Ex. 5 at 6. Again, Plaintiffs are not mentioned in these allegations, nor could they be, because they do not have an interest or role in the Berry Entities. In fact, Plaintiffs here asks the Court to prevent Defendants from transferring his interests in the Project exclusively to the Berry Entities, precisely for that reason. These two disputes are not the “exact” same fights, much less even logically related.
Defendants allege that the same issues are involved with the Berry Family Dispute and the present lawsuit because the Berry Entities requested the corporate and financial documents of Axis, Lone Star Ports LLC, and Midway Junction Properties LLC during discovery. Plea at p. 10.
However, Defendants do not explain how a request for production for documents from companies also involved in this lawsuit renders the two lawsuits so inherently interrelated that abatement is necessary. Instead, it remains true that the present lawsuit arises out of a different and distinct transaction.
At bottom, these claims have nothing to do with one another, and the Plea is merely an attempt to delay the Temporary Injunction hearing.
CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court deny Defendant’s Plea in Abatement and grant any further relief to which Plaintiffs are entitled.

The first issue that must be decided is dominant jurisdiction. Given time constraints for this Reply, this core issue will be the only issue addressed with this Reply (Marty, Bonnie, and Axis relying upon previous briefing relating to other matters in dispute).
II.
Nueces County Lawsuit There is a case pending in Nueces County (Cause No. 2024DCV-0045-C).1 No one is contesting that the 94th Judicial District Court, Nueces County, Texas, is a court of competent jurisdiction (subject matter jurisdiction) and proper venue. If anyone were to contest, that someone must appear in the Nueces County matter. This is the “Nueces County lawsuit.”
See Defendants’ Exhibit 20; see also Defendants’ Exhibit 25 (Berry GP (et al) requesting declaration that Berry GP or RBT own Axis, and that Lawrence’s unauthorized, purported conveyances be declared void).
III.
Harris County Lawsuit This case is pending in Harris County (Cause No. 24-BC11A-0025). As per Lawrence Berry’s (“Lawrence”) Notice of Removal to Business Court (“Notice”), this Business Court’s jurisdiction (subject matter jurisdiction) is founded upon “Texas Government Code [“TGC”] §§ 25A.004 (b)(2), (b)(4), (d) & (e).”2 For purposes of an earnest discussion of the Plea in Abatement, let us assume in arguendo that this Business Court enjoys subject matter jurisdiction of this lawsuit (as pleaded in the Notice). This is the “Harris County lawsuit.”
IV.
Concurrent Jurisdiction TGC §§ 25A.004(b)(2), (b)(4), (d) & (e) have at least one thing in common. Each expressly states that a Business Court’s subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to these provisions of law runs “concurrent” with a district court’s subject matter jurisdiction.
V. Issue: If this Business Court and the 94th Judicial District Court (Nueces County, Texas) have concurrent jurisdiction, how should this Business Court proceed? Texas judicial authority is unequivocable in concluding that the first order of business is to consider the pending Plea in Abatement.
• “When the jurisdiction of a county court sitting in probate and a district court are concurrent, the issue is one of dominant jurisdiction.”3
See Notice, at p. 2. (b)(2) gives rise to subject matter jurisdiction of a controversy about “governing documents.” (b)(4) gives rise to subject matter jurisdiction of a controversy between an “organization” and its “owner, controlling person. (d) gives rise to subject matter jurisdiction of a controversy related to a “qualified transaction,” or “violation of the Finance Code or Business & Commerce Code.” (e) gives rise to subject matter jurisdiction in certain disputes involving requests for “injunctive relief or declaratory judgment” pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 37.
In re Puig, 351 S.W.3d 301, 305 (2011).
• “When, as here, two courts have concurrent jurisdiction to determine inherently intertwined issues, filing a dilatory plea in abatement is the proper method for drawing a court’s attention to another court’s possible dominant jurisdiction.”4
As noted above, this brief assumes in arguendo this Business Court’s subject matter jurisdiction – in which circumstance dismissal likely is not the appropriate remedy. This brief is focused upon the pending Plea in Abatement, and the remedy (dismissal or abatement) that Texas jurisprudence has recognized since at least 1926.5 VI.
What of venue?
The Plea in Abatement must be considered before ever addressing venue. In truth, the dominant jurisdiction issue controls venue.
• “ . . . [T]he doctrine of dominant jurisdiction pertains to venue and not to subject-matter jurisdiction.”6 “Dominant jurisdiction applies when venue is proper in two or more Texas counties or courts.”7
In re Puig, 351 S.W.3d 301, 305 (2011). To be clear, whether a single court enjoys subject matter jurisdiction is a completely different issue than querying which of two (2) courts may have dominant jurisdiction. “Because lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter renders any judgment that a court may render void, a court without subject-matter jurisdiction has no choice but to dismiss.” Gordon v. Jones, 196 S.W.3d 376, 382 (Court of Appeals – Houston [1st District] 2006); citing State v. Morales, 869 S.W.2d 941, 949 (Texas 1994); State ex rel. Latty v. Owens, 907 S.W.2d 484, 485 (Texas 1995); Texas Ass’n of Bus.,852 S.W.2d at 446; Tourneau Houston Inc. v. Harris County Appraisal District, 24 S.W.3d 907, 910 (Court of Appeals – Houston [1st District] 2000, no petition); Federal Underwriters Exchange v. Pugh, 174 S.W.2d 598, 600 (Texas 1964)(holding that lack of subject matter jurisdiction is fundamental error that appellate court may properly raise and recognize sua sponte). To equate subject matter jurisdiction with the issue of dominant jurisdiction is error. Gordon v. Jones, 196 S.W.3d 376, 382 (Court of Appeals – Houston [1st District] 2006) (trial court may have “equated “dominant jurisdiction”” with “lack of “subject-matter jurisdiction,”” “the trial court erred”).
Cleveland v. Ward, 285 S.W. 1063, 1068 (Texas 1926).
Phillips v. Phillips, 651 S.W.3d 112, 122 (Court of Appeals - Houston (14th District) 2021).
Phillips v. Phillips, 651 S.W.3d 112, 122 (Court of Appeals - Houston (14th District) 2021); citing Gonzalez v. Reliant Energy Inc., 159 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Texas 2005); In re Puig, 351 S.W.3d 301, 305 (2011). See also Gordon v. Jones, 196 S.W.3d 376 (Court of Appeals – Houston (1st District) 2006) (“Dominant jurisdiction applies when venue is proper in two or more Texas counties or courts.”).
• “JURISDICTIONAL REQUIREMENTS TRUMP VENUE PROVISIONS” “This jurisdictional requirement “trumps” the venue provision of bringing suit in a county where the land is located.”8 (a mandatory venue provision in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code is not controlling of the location / venue of the suit, but rather the location of the proceeding is a matter of dominant jurisdiction).
• The Texas Supreme Court confirms: “The [litigant in the second-filed action] further asserts that venue properly lies in Dallas County [the second-filed lawsuit] where she now resides. This is also irrelevant. The Dallas County court did not have jurisdiction to pass on the venue question in connection with a plea of prior action [“plea in abatement”9] pending.”10 • “Thus, "the court in which suit is first filed generally acquires dominant jurisdiction to the exclusion of other courts if venue is proper in the county in which suit was first filed." Therefore, the doctrine of dominant jurisdiction pertains to venue and is not jurisdictional.”11 VII.
The Right Result?
Texas jurisprudence is quite clear of what result must follow when two (2) different Texas cases are “intertwined” or “interrelated.”
Herring v. Welborn, 27 S.W.3d 132, 141-142 (Court of Appeals – San Antonio, 2000).
Curtis v. Gibbs, 511 S.W.2d 263, 265 (Texas 1974).
Curtis v. Gibbs, 511 S.W.2d 263, 268 (Texas 1974).
Phillips v. Phillips, 651 S.W.3d 112, 122 (Court of Appeals - Houston (14th District) 2021); citing Gonzalez v. Reliant Energy Inc., 159 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Texas 2005); Wyatt v. Shaw Plumbing Company, 760 S.W.2d 245, 248 (Texas 1988); Gordon v. Jones, 196 S.W.3d 376, 382-383 (Court of Appeals – Houston [1st District] 2006); Curtis v. Gibbs, 511 S.W.2d 263, 266 (Texas 1974)(“dominant jurisdiction resolves venue conflict between two courts with subject- matter jurisdiction”).
• “It’s a familiar rule that where two courts have concurrent jurisdiction of the same controversy,12 the court which first acquires jurisdiction will retain it to the exclusion of the other.”13 • “When a forum in which venue is proper yields to another forum pursuant to the doctrine of dominant jurisdiction, the action of the yielding forum is “based on the principles of comity, convenience, and the need for an orderly procedure in the trial of contested issues.””14 • “The court hearing the second filed action is required to abate the second suit.”15 The necessity for such a rule is self-evident: two parallel lawsuits waste judicial resources, create delay, and impair “an orderly procedure in the trial of contested issues.””16 • “We conclude that the [Nueces] court first acquired jurisdiction of the controversy between the parties and therefore retained dominant jurisdiction to the exclusion of other courts.
[The judge in the later-filed action] had no right to interfere with the actions or orders of [the judge in the first-filed action], or to take any other action with respect to the [second filed] suit [] except to sustain the plea in abatement and to dismiss the suit.”17
Obviously, there is disagreement about whether the two (2) court matters are “inherently intertwined,” and this has been addressed – and will be further addressed herein. Respectfully, let us not digress for the moment.

• “The default rule thus tilts the playing field in favor of according dominant jurisdiction to the court in which suit is first filed.”18 There are literally countless Texas appellate decisions (Texas Supreme Court, and perhaps all of the Texas Courts of Appeals) that have published similar court opinions. The briefing set forth herein only scratches the surface, and de-emphasizes the Texas Supreme Court’s published opinions in Cleveland and Wyatt given that briefing in Marty’s pending Plea in Abatement focused largely on Cleveland and Wyatt.
VIII.
Texas Law Begs the Question: Are the two (2) cases “intertwined” or “interrelated”?
Is this Harris County lawsuit “intertwined” or “interrelated” with the Nueces County lawsuit? If the answer is “yes” (or even partly “yes”), then this Business Court is required by Texas law to abate or dismiss. Again, “[t]he default rule thus tilts the playing field in favor of according dominant jurisdiction to the court in which suit is first filed.”19 In the Harris County lawsuit, Marty / Berry GP, Inc.(“Berry GP”) (et al) have been restrained from “[c]hanging, altering, or transferring in any way the management of Axis or any other entity associated with the Project . . . .”20 In the Nueces County lawsuit, Marty / Berry GP were originally restrained from “modifying the composition of the Board of Directors of any of the Berry Entities . . .”21 yet Judge Galvan ruled on the Application for Temporary Injunction that “Bylaws provide for the removal and appointment of Board of Directors, so I’m not gonna interfere with that.”22 To be clear, all evidence and briefing on-file highlights the disagreement about
Encore Enterprises v. Borderplex Realty Trust, 583 S.W.3d 713, 721 (Court of Appeals – El Paso, 2019); citing In re J.B. Hunt Transportation Inc., 492 S.W.3d 287, 294 (Texas 2016).

See Exhibit 11. All references to any “Exhibit” are to Marty Berry’s / Bonnie Berry’s / Axis’ exhibits, unless otherwise stated.

See Defendants’ Exhibit 17.
whether Axis Midstream Holdings LLC (“Axis”) is wholly owned by Berry GP or Redfish Bay Terminals Inc. (“RBT”), as believed by Marty /Bonnie /Berry GP /RBT and others; or by Lone Star Ports Enterprises, as contended by Plaintiffs. The legal answer to this question will be a direct result of what did or did not occur with the very Board of Directors (Berry GP) made the subject of the referenced court rulings (Judge Galvan) in Nueces County, Texas. Plaintiff’s Harris County lawsuit now endeavors to have a second forum consider this still-pending, Nueces County issue.
Of course, Berry GP’s (also Marty Berry’s) belief is that a majority vote of the Board of Directors is prerequisite to either corporation’s (Berry GP and/or RBT) possible conveyance of a multi-million dollar asset (Axis) – as expressly set forth in Berry GP’s bylaws and RBT’s bylaws.
Lawrence Berry takes the opposite position, and argues that Powers’ emailing the flawed conveyance documents to a potential investor without objections gives rise to a valid conveyance.23 Plaintiffs’ Original Petition repeatedly makes reference to and seeks resolution of the dispute about ‘ownership, management, and control’24 of Axis – and the still-active Harris County TRO precludes altering management of Axis (and precludes altering management of other companies’ associated with the Project, such as Berry GP and RFT). The two (2) courts’ orders are already in conflict. The Harris County controversy most definitely requires inclusion of Berry GP and RBT (the former a party in the Nueces County litigation, and RBT is easily added as a party). Neither Marty nor Bonnie – both sued in their individual capacity – claim to be owners of Axis (given Axis is 100% owned by Berry GP (or RBT)). This exact dispute about Lawrence’s wrongful attempts to unilaterally take action for Berry GP is core to the Nueces County lawsuit – as Lawrence argues his right to take unilateral action as the ‘sole disinterested shareholder’ (an
See Defendant’s (Lawrence’s) Response to Motion to Remand, Dismiss, or Transfer File, at pp. 3-4 (footnote 3).
See Exhibit 6 (word search shows “management” mentioned 24 times, “control” mentioned 6 times, and “ownership” mentioned 35 times).
argument already rejected by Judge Galvan). Both lawsuits are about ‘ownership, management, and control’ of Berry GP assets (including Axis).
Both lawsuits also seek resolution of ‘ownership, management, and control’ of real property interests. In the Nueces County lawsuit, Lawrence sued Marty, Berry GP, Robert Rickett (Berry GP’s land man), and others. Lawrence was complaining that Robert Rickett was acting as a co-conspirator to the other defendants by holding title to real property nominally in his (Rickett’s) name – a practice often employed by Berry GP for project-land acquisitions. The real property specifically held in Robert Rickett’s name was Axis / LSP Project real property. The orange shading on Exhibit 3 shows Berry GP real property held in the name of Robert Rickett. Exhibit 2 (Slide 32) shows the Axis / LSP Project real property (as defined in Axis’ permit). Exhibit 4 is an overlay of Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 2 (Slide32) showing that the exact same real property made the subject of these Harris County proceedings is the subject of the Nueces County proceedings (the dispute about ‘ownership, management, and control’ of this real property essential to the Axis permit, and future development of the permit). This truism is highlighted by the fact that Lawence’s TRO in the Nueces County lawsuit restrained Marty / Robert Rickett / Berry GP (et al) from “selling, mortgaging, or otherwise encumbering any of the Berry Entities’ real property without approval of the sole disinterested member of the Board of Directors, Lawrence Berry”25 – obviously inclusive of the Axis / LSP Project real property held nominally in the name of Robert Rickett (then named as a defendant in Nueces County).26 In this Harris County lawsuit, Marty (Berry GP, RBT, et al) have been enjoined from “[c]hanging, altering, or transferring in any way the ownership, property, or tangible or intangible rights of any entity associated with the Project .
See Exhibit 16.
As further evidence, see Exhibit 5.
. . .”27 Obviously, both lawsuits are for control of valuable real property directly related to the Axis / LSP Project.
Both cases already involve Lawrence Berry and Marty Berry as named parties. Both cases will require inclusion of Berry GP and RBT as named-parties. Bonnie Berry may be added as a defendant in the Nueces County proceeding, although deference to her late-husband’s passing has previously allowed her absence from the first-filed litigation. Of course, Allied Ports LLC (Ted Power’s designee that claims 20% ownership in the Project) may intervene in Nueces County, if it so chooses (or may be added as a party as expressly permitted by Texas judicial authority discussing addition of parties to avoid a multiplicity of suits).
There are many other examples of how the two (2) cases are “interrelated” and “intertwined,” but the larger picture reveals that the core of both disputes includes ‘ownership, management, and control’ issues of Berry GP assets (most notably Orca and Axis assets); and the larger picture reveals that both disputes relate to the same Axis / LSP Project real property.

Conclusion As noted in several cases cited herein, a race to the courthouse is nothing new. For almost a century (since Cleveland), the rule has been (and continues to be) that the first-filed case acquires dominant jurisdiction of all matters (including those matters that may require adding of parties to the first-filed lawsuit to allow a full and complete adjudication). This case is no exception as the two (2) pleaded controversies are intertwined / interrelated (even though some unique issues may be pleaded in the Harris County lawsuit, at this time (subject to inclusion in Nueces County)).

Lawrence Berry, in his personal capacity and as Trustee of the Allen Lawrence Berry Trust, sometimes referred to as Counter-Defendants, and in support of same would show: I.
PARTIES 1. Berry GP Inc. (“Berry GP”) is a Texas corporation with its principal office at 1414 Corn Products Road, Corpus Christi, Texas 78409. Berry GP is one of the “Berry Entities” as may be referenced herein.

6. Allen Lawrence Berry, as Trustee of the Allen Lawrence Berry Trust (“ALB Trust”) is a trust wherein Allen Lawrence Berry serves as trustee of the ALB Trust, and is – along with others – a beneficiary of the Trust. ALB Trust has already appeared in these proceedings, and thus this Counter-Plaintiffs First Amended Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims will be served upon Allen Lawrence Berry, Trustee, and the Trust by service upon their attorney: Mr. Barrett Reasoner, Gibbs & Bruns LLP, 1100 Louisiana, Suite 5300, Houston, Texas 77002.

6. Berry GP, Berry Operating, Bay Ltd., Marty Berry, and A. Lawrence Berry may be sometimes referred to as the “Parties,” or any one of them referred to as a “Party.”
7. L.Berry is the original Plaintiff in this legal action by having filed Plaintiffs’ Original Verified Petition and Application for Temporary Restraining Order and Temporary Injunction (“Plaintiffs’ Verified Petition”). The legal action initiated by Plaintiffs’ Verified Petition was filed in Harris County, Texas, but promptly transferred to Nueces County, Texas. A Counter-Plaintiffs’ Original Petition Asserting Counter-Claims was filed as counter-claim to Plaintiffs’ Verified Petition in compliance with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure (“TRCP”) 97.

II.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE 8. This Court has jurisdiction over all Parties. Specifically, Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. are legal entities formed in Texas that maintain their principal offices in Texas. M.Berry and L.Berry reside in Texas. As such, all Parties have sufficient contacts with the State of Texas and, therefore, are subject to the jurisdiction of this Court.
9. Venue is proper in Nueces County, Texas, pursuant to TCPRC Chapter 15, section 15.002(a)(1) inasmuch as Nueces County is the location where all or a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims occurred; and section 15.011 inasmuch as Counter-Plaintiffs seek to recover an interest in and/or quiet title to real property. See Exhibit C (with attachment).
Moreover, venue is proper in Nueces County, Texas, pursuant to TCPRC Chapter 15, section 15.063(3). See Exhibit B.
III.
DISCOVERY 10. Discovery should be conducted in accordance with Level 3, as permitted by TRCP 109.4.
IV.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 11. Counter-Plaintiffs file this amended counter-petition asserting claims against L.Berry and the Trust for conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, fraud, and other causes of action. Counter-Plaintiffs’ causes of action pleaded against and complaining of L.Berry and Trust are directly responsive to L.Berry’s claims for self- dealing and breach of fiduciary duty filed against one or more Counter-Plaintiffs. For all claims referenced in this Counter-Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Original Petition Asserting Counter- Claims, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue Counter-Defendants.
VI.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND 12. The Berry Entities and Berry-Related Entities are a large organization of companies engaged in various businesses throughout the United States and have successfully done so since the 1950s.
13. Marvin Berry had four (4) sons: Marty Berry (M.Berry), Dennis Berry (D.Berry), A.
Lawrence Berry (L.Berry), and Kenneth Berry. After Marvin Berry passed in 1997, control of the Berry Entities shifted to Laura Berry (Marvin’s wife), and then to their (Marvin’s and Laura’s) sons — M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry. LDMA LP (“LDMA”) sits at the top of the Berry Entities.
LDMA’s 3% general partner is Beacon Inc. which is owned by M.Berry, D.Berry, and L.Berry.
LDMA owns Berry GP which, through a series of legal entities, own Berry Operating and Bay Ltd. The Board of Directors of Berry GP (M.Berry, Bonnie Berry, L.Berry, and Chrissy Hinojosa Phd.) — in accordance with the by-laws of Berry GP — primarily govern Berry GP, the Berry Entities, and some of the other affiliated entities (indirectly). All considered (generally), ownership of the Berry Entities is vested with M.Berry, Bonnie Berry, 1 and L.Berry (shareholders); and control of the Berry Entities (generally, at a policy level) is with M.Berry, Bonnie Berry, and Chrissy Hinojosa, Phd. (all serving as directors of Berry GP).2 14. For purposes of this pleading, the Berry Entities refers to Berry GP, Berry Operating, and Bay Ltd. For purposes of this pleading, the Berry-Related Entities3 refer to the Allen Lawrence Berry 2007 Trust, Redfish Bay Terminals Inc. (“RBT”), Orca Assets GP LLC (“Orca”), Inner Channel Investments Inc. (“ICI”), Orca ICI Development (“Orca ICI,” a Texas partnership), Orca ICI Development JV, Orca Petroleum Ltd., Orca Properties LLC (a/k/a Orca Specialty Equipment LLC, Providence Plantation, and/or Casa de Juego), West 17th Resources LLC, Gansevoort Investments LLC, Axis Midstream Holdings LLC (TX), Lone Star Ports LLC (TX), Midway Junction Properties LLC (TX), Halcon Mineral Interest LLC, Zilker Acquisitions LLC, Three Rivers Pipe and Rental LLC, Southern Comfort Equipment, Ridgefield Energy Investments LLC, Ridgefield Energy Operating LLC, Ridgefield Eagle Ford LLC, Ridgefield Eagle Ford Minerals LLC, Ridgefield Permian LLC, Ridgefield Permian Minerals LLC, Ridgefield Energy Partners LLC, CEC Ridgefield Holdings LLC, Blue Wagon Energy Investments LLC, Alamo Resources
Successor in interest to Dennis Berry, recently deceased.
In mid-2024, L.Berry was removed as director of Berry GP.
Please note that the definition of Berry-Related Entities in this Nueces County, Texas, legal action was broadened to include Axis Midstream Holdings LLC, Lone Star Ports LLC, Midway Junction Properties LLC, and Redfish Bay Terminals Inc. in May, 2024 (approximately six (6) months in advance of Allied Ports LLC’s filing of a competing lawsuit in Harris County, Texas).
IV JV LLC, B.B.I. Inc., Escopeta Oil & Gas Corporation, Furie Operating Alaska LLC, Helios Power Capital LLC, Danskammer Energy LLC, Berry Y&V Fabricators LLC (and related companies). The Berry Entities and Berry-Related Entities may be sometimes referred to as the “Berry Companies.”
15. The Berry-Related Entities, except for the Trust and RBT, are and have been started up, owned (legally and/or beneficially), held in trust, managed, developed, operated, and/or controlled at various times by and through Berry GP, and/or by and through (in part) M.Berry, D.Berry, and/or L.Berry (one or all of them), since the 2000s. Such business practices are investments for one or more of the Berry Entities and/or their owners/shareholders.
16. As an example of how Berry Entities invested, Counter-Plaintiffs invested substantially in ICI, ICI Orca, and Orca (related companies). Berry Entities/Counter-Plaintiffs also substantially invested in Axis and LSP (related companies). Specifically, Counter-Plaintiffs seeded capital (money, assets, manpower) to Orca/Axis (et al) to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control an investments— which, in turn, became seed-money/assets (including mineral/real property interests as assets) for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the “Investment”).
17. From time to time, M.Berry, D.Berry, and/or L.Berry (or all of them) had meetings to discuss how to manage the Investment, whether to sell or continue with the Investment, and other business-type meetings/discussions.
18. Seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to some Berry-Related Entities involved an agreement/contract as between these legal entities requiring payment-in-full for the base value of the seeded money/assets received. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust, has very recently refused to pay and/or transfer rights as required by the agreement/contract.
19. Seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to some Berry-Related Entities also included the agreement/contract that L.Berry/Trust (all or in part) would initiate the Investment (start-up); manage, develop, operate, and control the Investment, and hold the Investment in trust and for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry/Trust (all or in part) has engaged a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in-meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs.
20. Specifically, L.Berry/Trust has participated in self-dealing transactions involving the Investment (and the Investment’s earnings) — taking of seeded money and assets of value (wealth) for personal benefit, and not for the benefit of any one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs. This on- going practice by L.Berry/Trust of self-dealing transactions and ultra vires transactions violates the fiduciary obligations owed by L.Berry, individually and as trustee of the Trust, to Counter- Plaintiffs (and others).
21. In furtherance of L.Berry’s/Trust’s wrongful conduct, L.Berry/Trust has intentionally obscured self-dealing transactions by transfers of money/assets of substantial value to and/or through the Berry-Related Entities. All such transactions constitute L.Berry’s, individually and as trustee for the Trust, wrongful taking of money and assets belonging to, held in trust for, and held for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust, has and is engaged in wrongful takings, and also has failed to disclose same (as is required by his (L.Berry’s, individually and as trustee of the Trust) fiduciary duties owed).
22. L.Berry’s (individually and as trustee of the Trust) wrongful conduct (as described herein) continues to-date. Counter-Plaintiffs file this legal action to demand L.Berry (individually and as trustee of the Trust) provide financial information as shall be requested through the legal discovery process. Counter-Plaintiffs now plead the following claims and causes of action against L.Berry (individually and as trustee of the Trust) and the Trust: conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of constructive trust, and fraud.
VII.
CAUSES OF ACTION Count 1 Conversion 23. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 1 in their entirety.
24. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that L.Berry (individually and as trustee of the Trust, Counter-Defendants) are liable to Counter-Plaintiffs for conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings). Specifically, Counter-Plaintiffs seeded capital (money, assets) to L.Berry/Trust (and their benefit) to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control Investment — which, in turn, became seed-money/assets for several of the Berry-Related Entities (the Investment). L.Berry and the Trust were to hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter- Plaintiffs.4 Wrongfully, L.Berry and the Trust have absconded with the Investment (+ earnings) through a series of self-dealing transactions without notice to, consultation with, or vote (in- meeting or otherwise) of a majority of the owners/shareholders/directors of Counter-Plaintiffs.
L.Berry’s/Trust’s wrongful conduct is a conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings).
25. The elements of conversion are: 1) claimants (Counter-Plaintiffs) owned or were entitled to possession of property; 2) another assumes or exercises control of the property in an unauthorized manner to the exclusion of the claimants; and 3) the claimants’ demand for return of
Although some monies have been paid by L.Berry or one of his legal entities to one or more Counter-Plaintiffs as part of these transactions, the amounts of money paid have only been a partial repayment of monies owed to Counter-Plaintiffs — still in disregard for that which was agreed to be held in trust by L.Berry/Trust for Counter- Plaintiffs. the property is refused. By this Counter-Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Counter-Claim these Counter-Plaintiffs continue to request return of all converted assets. In this case, Counter-Plaintiffs clearly own and are entitled to possession of the Investment (+ earnings). Such Investment (+ earnings) were supposed to be held in trust by L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust (the sole person in control of such Investment (+ earnings)) for Counter-Plaintiffs. Counter- Defendants have wrongfully assumed and exercised control over such Investment (+ earnings), and done so in a manner unauthorized by Counter-Plaintiffs and to the exclusion of Counter- Plaintiffs. Further, and in disregard of requests from Counter-Plaintiffs, Counter-Defendants have failed and refused to return the Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs. This is a wrongful conversion of such Investment (+ earnings) — the money/assets — belonging to Counter- Plaintiffs, for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
26. Counter-Defendants’ wrongful conversion of Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment (+ earnings) has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. Counter-Plaintiffs now sue for the return of such Investment (+ earnings), or alternatively for the value of such Investment (+ earnings).
Count 2 Breach of Fiduciary Duty 27. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 2 in their entirety.
28. Counter-Defendant L.Berry has been a shareholder, officer, and director of Counter- Plaintiffs for all relevant times. Counter-Defendants held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs all relevant times. As such, Counter-Defendants owe fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. The fiduciary duties owed by Counter-Defendants to Counter-Plaintiffs include, but are not limited to, the duty of loyalty, duty of utmost good faith and fair dealing, and duty of fairness and honesty. The fiduciary duties owed by Counter-Defendants to Counter-Plaintiffs further include putting Counter-Plaintiffs’ interest before his (L.Berry’s, individually and as trustee of the Trust) own interest, inclusive of devoting full time and efforts in favor of Counter-Plaintiffs’ best interests — not L.Berry’s own or just the Trust’s interests. These duties that Counter-Defendants owe to Counter-Plaintiffs encompass obligations and/or duties to refrain from self-dealing transactions and to make full disclosures of information.
29. While owing fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs, Counter-Defendants have engaged in, directed, approved, and/or taken actions in contravention of fiduciary duties owed, including but without limited to the following: a. L.Berry/Trust took substantial money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs, and failed to invest same in the name of and/or for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs (thereby putting their own financial interest ahead of Counter-Plaintiffs’ financial interest). By way of example, L.Berry and Trust took Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets yet wrongfully placed things of value (mineral leases) into Orca (a legal entity that ultimately (later) was determined to be 100% for the benefit of Trust). L.Berry and Trust took Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets for Axis/LSP, yet wrongfully purport to have transferred some of this interest to others (e.g., Allied Ports LLC); and other. This breach of fiduciary duty caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter- Plaintiffs now sue.
b. L.Berry/Trust were supposed to hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs, yet L.Berry/Trust refuses to account for and surrender such Investment (+ earnings) in favor of Counter-Plaintiffs — but rather appears to have absconded with the Investment (+ earnings). This failure to hold, account for, and then surrender the Investment (+ earnings) for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs is self-dealing — and a breach of fiduciary duty. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue. c. L.Berry/Trust took the Investment (+ earnings) for their own benefit (as set forth above), and did so without full disclosure of details of the Investment (and earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs. Rather than comply with Counter- Defendants’ fiduciary duties owed, Counter-Defendants have engaged a series of transactions to obscure Counter-Plaintiffs’ rights to its Investment (+ earnings). This lack of full disclosure is L.Berry’s and Trust’s breach of fiduciary duty of full disclosure and candor owed to Counter-Plaintiffs. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter- Plaintiffs now sue. d. L.Berry/Trust have used Counter-Plaintiffs money/assets to promote and make profit for their own businesses in various manners and locations.
This is more self-dealing, and a breach of the fiduciary duty owed by L.Berry/Trust to the Counter-Plaintiffs. This breach of fiduciary duty has caused substantial financial harm and losses to the Counter-Plaintiffs, and for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue. e. There are additional transactions / ventures by Counter-Defendants that are a breach of fiduciary duties owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, and all of which have caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs.
For same, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
30. Counter-Defendants have taken money/assets/manpower from one or more of the Counter- Plaintiffs; the Investment (+ earnings) from one or more of Counter-Plaintiffs; misappropriated equipment, personnel, and other assets from one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs; and all to the detriment of one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs — while only benefiting Counter-Defendants.
This is self-dealing. All such conduct described herein evidences Counter-Defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties owed; that is, self-dealing, advancing their (L.Berry’s/Trust’s) own interest rather than Counter-Plaintiffs’ interest, breaches of loyalty to the Counter-Plaintiffs, breaches of good faith and fair dealing owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, breaches of full disclosure and candor owed to Counter-Plaintiffs, and more. Counter-Defendants’ misconduct has been and continues to be designed as a subterfuge of obligations to the Counter-Plaintiffs (whereas other shareholders who may have received benefits account for same to the Berry Entities). Counter-Defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties owed to Counter-Plaintiffs have caused substantial financial harm and losses to Counter-Plaintiffs, for which Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
Count 3 Breach of Contract 31. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 3 in their entirety.
32. As noted herein, seeded capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs included the agreement/contract that L.Berry, individually and as trustee of the Trust, would initiate the Investment (start-up); manage, develop, operate, and control the Investment, and hold the Investment (+ earnings) in trust and for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs. In contravention of such agreement/contract, L.Berry, individually and as trustee of the Trust, have refused to perform as promised, but rather engaged a series of self-dealing transactions designed to allow L.Berry and the Trust to keep all (or some) of the Investment (+ earnings) for himself (L.Berry) and/or the Trust.
33. Counter-Defendants’ refusals to abide by the agreement/contract is a breach of agreement/contract. Counter-Defendants’ breach of the agreement/contract has caused Counter- Plaintiffs substantial financial harm and losses, and for such substantial financial harm and losses Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
Count 4 Unjust Enrichment 34. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 4 in their entirety.
35. Recent events now give rise to a concern on Counter-Plaintiffs’ behalf that Counter- Defendants may deny the agreement/contract (and/or some terms of the agreement/contract) as between Counter-Plaintiffs and Counter-Defendants — all in an effort by Counter-Defendants to wrongfully abscond with Counter-Plaintiffs’ Investment + earnings. Such a result would be inequitable, and unjustly enrich Counter-Defendants.
36. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that Counter-Plaintiffs did, in fact, provide seed capital money/assets from Counter-Plaintiffs to Orca/ICI /Orca and Axis/LSP as a benefit to Counter- Defendants, and to allow Counter-Defendants to invest (again, the Investment). This benefit to Counter-Defendants was provided by Counter-Plaintiffs, and it will cause a substantial detriment to Counter-Plaintiffs if the Investment + earnings are not returned to Counter-Plaintiffs. As such, equity demands that the Investment + earnings be returned to Counter-Plaintiffs or compensation for value.
37. For these reasons set forth herein, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue Counter-Defendants for unjust enrichment, as fairness demands Counter-Plaintiffs be made whole by: (1) return of all Investment (+ earnings); or (2) the value of all Investment (+ earnings) be paid by Counter- Defendants to Counter-Plaintiffs.
Count 5 Breach of Constructive Trust 38. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 5 in their entirety.
39. As noted above, Counter-Defendant L.Berry has been a shareholder, officer, and director of Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. Counter-Defendant L.Berry held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. L.Berry, as trustee for the Trust, held the Investment (+ earnings) in trust for the Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times. As such, Counter-Defendants owed and owe fiduciary duties to Counter-Plaintiffs for all relevant times.
40. Counter-Plaintiffs made transfer of monies/assets to Counter-Defendants (money, manpower, and assets). Counter-Plaintiffs made these transfers of monies/assets in reliance upon Counter-Defendants’ promise to protect and deliver Counter-Plaintiffs’ share of the Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs.
41. Counter-Defendants now refuse to perform upon Counter-Defendants’ promise (but rather now wants to keep for L.Berry’s and his Trust’s own gain/profit all of the Investment (+ earnings)).
As such, Counter-Defendants will be unjustly enriched. Given these facts, Counter-Plaintiffs now sue for breach of constructive trust for the Investment (+ earnings) and related, traceable monies/assets. All such monies and assets should be placed in a constructive trust for the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs or distributed to same.
Count 6 Fraud 42. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all paragraphs herein as if set forth within Count 6 in their entirety.
43. As noted above, Counter-Plaintiffs invested heavily ($millions$, the Investment) in ICI/Orca ICI/Orca and Axis/LSP, and other Berry-Related Entities for the benefit of Counter- Plaintiffs. Such Investment was seed-money/assets for — and investment in — Berry-Related Companies.
44. Counter-Plaintiffs invested the millions of dollars/assets based specifically upon Counter- Defendants’ representations/promises to start-up, manage, develop, operate, and/or control Investmentsfor the benefit of Counter-Plaintiffs (which is also for the benefit of L.Berry and his Trust, in part).
45. More specifically, and to induce the Investment, Counter-Defendants promised to re-pay the original value of the Investment ($millions$) to the Counter-Plaintiffs; and further promised that the Investment would be for the benefit of the Counter-Plaintiffs (and understandably so given that L.Berry and the Trust would still share substantially in the benefits/profits).
46. Instead, Counter-Defendants — although Counter-Defendants have paid some interest- only payments from time to time — have absconded with all or a substantial portion of the value of the Investment monies/assets + earnings. On information and belief, Counter-Defendants apparently made interest payments to prolong the process (run out the clock) — all the while never intending to re-pay the original value of the Investment; and all the while never intending to deliver such Investment (+ earnings) to Counter-Plaintiffs.
47. Presently, Counter-Defendants have gone dark on this discussion, and thereby indicated that L.Berry, individually and as trustee for the Trust, never intended to abide by the representations/promises designed to induce the Investment.
48. Counter-Defendants’ fraud/fraud in the inducement has resulted in substantial, unearned profits for Counter-Defendants, personally and for the Trust; and great financial losses to the Counter-Plaintiffs.
49. The above-described conduct constitutes fraud and fraud in the inducement, and thus is actionable in favor of one or more of the Counter-Plaintiffs. For such fraud and fraud in the inducement, the Counter-Plaintiffs now file and assert all such claims and causes of action against Counter-Defendants.
VIII.
CAUSATION 50. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all above paragraphs as if set forth herein in their entirety.
51. Counter-Plaintiffs would show that all causes of action/claims set forth herein have been the cause, proximate cause, producing cause, and cause-in-fact of substantial harm and financial losses to Counter-Plaintiffs. For all such harm and financial losses, these Counter-Plaintiffs sue.
IX.
LEGAL DAMAGES / REMEDIES 52. Counter-Plaintiffs incorporate all above paragraphs as if set forth herein in their entirety.
53. For all harm and financial losses suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs and arising from wrongful and/or inequitable conduct of Counter-Defendants, these Counter-Plaintiffs now sue.
54. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the substantial harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; compensatory damages, actual damages, consequential damages, restitution damages, disgorgement damages, and other damages. Counter-Plaintiffs claims asserted herein are for substantial harm and financial losses greatly in excess of $1,000,000.00.
55. Counter-Plaintiffs file all causes of action/claims as set forth herein to recover monetary relief for the harm and financial damages suffered by Counter-Plaintiffs; to wit; attorneys’ fees.
