(This is a cross-post from 600Commerce<\/a>.) Last Friday’s opinion by the Texas Supreme Court in St. John Missionary Baptist Church v. Flakes <\/a>reversed St. John’s Missionary Baptist Church v. Flakes<\/a>, 547 S.W.3d 311 (Tex. App.–Dallas 2018) (en banc). The law of appellate briefing waiver now has (at least) these features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. Waiver occurs when<\/strong><\/em> (a) the defendants move for summary judgment on two grounds that each are an “independent basis” for judgment (limitations and release), (b) the trial court grants the motion without specifying a reason, and (c) “[o]n appeal, the plaintiff challenged the validity of the release in question but did not address the defendants\u2019 statute-of-limitations argument.” In this situation, the trial court\u2019s judgment \u201cmust stand, since it may have been based on a ground not specifically challenged by the plaintiff and since there was no general assignment that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment.” Malooly Bros., Inc. v. Napier<\/a>, 461 S.W.2d 119 (Tex. 1970).<\/li>
  2. Waiver does not occur when<\/strong><\/em> – and a court may thus request supplemental briefing if that would be helpful – when the defendants seek dismissal based on two doctrines (standing and ecclesiastical abstention), the substance of which “significantly overlaps.” The supreme court found such an “overlap” in Flakes<\/em> when consideration of both doctrines required review of the applicable church bylaws and church membership situation. Two other examples cited in Flakes <\/em>involve arguments about equitable relief related to points about money damages (First United Pentecostal Church v. Parker<\/a>, 514 S.W.3d 214 (Tex. 2017)), and an issue about the applicability of a specific case in a broader dispute about the right to terminate a lease (Rohrmoos Venture v. UTSW DVA Healthcare<\/a>, 578 S.W.3d 469 (Tex. 2019)).<\/li>
  3. Supplemental briefing is discretionary <\/strong><\/em>under Flakes<\/em>; cf.<\/em> Horton v. Stovall<\/a>, No.18-0925 (Tex. Dec. 20, 2019) (finding that an appellant should have been given the opportunity to cure the particular record-citation issues identified in that case).<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
