STATE CASE REMOVED TO FEDERAL COURT

202484145 –

BADER, MATHEW vs. ROCKET MORTGAGE 

(Court 133, JUDGE JACLANEL M. MCFARLAND)

DEC 2, 2024 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: DEC 19, 2024
DEC 19, 2024

Above is the date LIT Last updated this article.

In the wild, unpredictable world of Texas foreclosure battles, Laws in Texas (LIT) has uncovered a case that raises serious questions about the integrity of the legal process.

Matthew Bader, a pro se litigant, filed an affidavit to fight his foreclosure, but upon closer examination, it’s clear that something went wrong.

From a misspelled name to a crucial omission regarding his criminal record, pro se Bader’s affidavit reeks of carelessness—or worse.

But the real twist?

The notary who signed off on this flawed document appears to have overlooked these glaring errors, and has a questionable track record of his own with foreclosure cases.

As if the case wasn’t murky enough, there’s another figure in the mix: real estate investor Doug Aguilar.

Just months before Bader’s foreclosure notice, Aguilar filed a memorandum of equity interest in the property’s records—raising more questions about the timing and motivations behind these legal maneuvers.

In a system that routinely accommodates dubious litigants and their Bandit lawyers with cash bond TROs to delay foreclosures, these new developments only add fuel to the fire.

At LIT, we’re digging deep into this tangled web, shining a light on how the courts continue to turn a blind eye to legal mismanagement and shady dealings, all while granting relief to those who may not deserve it.
