Unlike another recent removal, Hagger’s not having present argument for injunctive relief for Swan, despite no agreement with PHH on the record.
Compare with another Hagger case, the Dodds foreclosure:
LETTER OF AGREEMENT re: withdrawal of Renewed Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by Craig A Dodds, filed. (Entered: 03/07/2024)
Real property records show no TRSale Deed and there’s no listing for nonjudicial foreclosure in November 2024.
Again, there’s absolutely no consistency in the application of rules and laws in lawless Texas courts.
