In re A.E.A., No. 02-12-00510-CV (July 18, 2013) (Walker, J., joined by Gardner, J., and William Brigham (Senior Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment)).

Held:  Appellant's allegation of changed circumstances in his live petition to modify the parent-child relationship constituted a judicial admission of that fact and barred him on appeal from challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to support the fact that he had judicially admitted. Moreover, the record contains legally and factually sufficient evidence to support the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law, and no due process violations are apparent in the record.

Brewer v. Green Lizard Holdings, L.L.C., No. 02-12-00421-CV (July 18, 2013) (Charles Bleil (Senior Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment), joined by Gardner and Walker, JJ.)

Held:  The trial court did not err by granting summary judgment for Green Lizard Holdings, L.L.C. Series SR, the owner of residential property in Plano, Denton County, Texas, on its claim that Brewer had filed a fraudulent deed and other documents related to the property in the Denton County property records.
