The California Assembly Says Yes to More Infill, Affordable Housing
June 19, 2020 | Mike Kingsella and Melissa Winkler
Reading time: 5 minutes min
During a time in which most of the housing advocacy community is focused on the looming rent crisis and how to assist those who are, or will soon have, trouble paying their rent, a pro-housing production bill is quietly moving through the California Legislature.
Last week, the California State Assembly approved AB 2345, which would expand the state's density bonus law to match a successful program already implemented in San Diego. The legislation passed by an overwhelming and bipartisan 74-1 margin. It now heads to the Senate Rules Committee for further action.
In February, Up for Growth Action joined bill author Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, our co-bill sponsor Circulate San Diego, and other stakeholders for the introduction of AB 2345. The legislation is modeled on a San Diego program that has significantly increased housing production in the city. In 2016, the city of San Diego expanded the state Density Bonus Law and increased the maximum bonus to 50% if developers provide 15% very low-income, 24% low-income units, or 44% moderate income units. Since then, the city has seen a 900% increase in project applications per month, a 473% increase in deed-restricted affordable units per month, and a 453% increase in unit creation per month, compared with the use of the prior state program.
The Density Bonus Law also provides projects with development incentives, which serve as concessions for local land development policies. Incentives can include things like reduced setback requirements, changes to building envelopes, or other regulatory changes that result in lower cost to development. Municipalities are required to grant the incentives requested by the developer unless they can prove that the incentives would negatively affect public health and safety, the environment, or protected historic property. In addition to the incentives, projects near transit qualify for lower parking ratios and can apply for waivers to reduce development standards that prohibit the construction of a project. AB 2345 increases the maximum number of incentives used from three to five.
This legislation is one of many solutions needed to combat California's severe housing crisis. California accounts for nearly half of the 7.3-million-home deficit across the country. Its severe shortage of homes increases homelessness and housing insecurity, blunts the state's efforts to combat climate change, reduces GDP, and reduces tax receipts by billions. COVID-19 has only worsened the crisis that California is facing. You can learn more about California's 3.4-million-home shortage in our Housing Underproduction in California report.
In a time when budgets are becoming increasingly strained, AB 2345 has another thing going for it: cost. The bill will spur the investment of private capital into deed-restricted affordable housing where it's needed most. In other words, AB 2345 will help affordable units get built without a having to rely on spending precious taxpayer dollars.
AB 2345 respects local decision-making in housing and does not impact existing authorities. All projects must still go through local approvals. AB 2345 is simply an additional tool local government can use to stimulate investment in affordable housing projects that were desperately needed pre-pandemic and will be even more important when we emerge from the current crisis.
AB 2345 is a big win for housing advocates in California and we remain hopeful it will pass the Senate and ultimately be signed by Governor Newsom. The progress of AB 2345 would not be possible without the leadership of bill authors Assemblymember Gonzalez and Assemblymember David Chiu, and external support from across the state that has now grown to over 60 entities since the bill's introduction. AB 2345 is the type of pro-housing policy – scaling a successful local program statewide – that can and should be implemented across the country.

A record 600 volunteers on Saturday participated in the annual River Trash Round Up and removed 5,260 pounds of debris from the water and banks of the Arkansas River.
Students, families, workers, canoeists, kayakers, scuba divers and others volunteered to beautify the Arkansas River. Several civic and private groups as well as government organizations participated including the City of Wichita, Cargill, Arkansas River Coalition, South Central Neighborhood Association, Sierra Club, Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops, Bank of America, River City WRAPS, and Johnson Controls. Cargill provided volunteers with an event T-shirt and hosted a post-cleanup cookout. Transportation to locations along the river was provided by Party Express Bus.
The clean-up, now in its ninth year, is registered with American Rivers as part of the "National River Cleanup" initiative. The event is sponsored by Cargill, the City of Wichita, Ducks Unlimited, and Waste Management.

Super Stylish Must Have Bags!
I was looking good quality large reusable bags and held off until the 5p bag tax was about to come into force. I opted for the Trolley Bags Original Vibe as I tend to do one large weekly shop and then a few smaller essential shops so thought I could split up the bags if need be. These are excellent quality. The netting at the bottom is robust and strong, the carry handles are super comfortable and there is a handy velcro strap to hold the bag together when rolled up. I had an issue with stitching on the green bag but Packing Sorted sent me out a replacement bag the same day and the new one is absolutely fine. I put the heavy items in the smaller bags and the lighter items in the larger bags. This makes it easy to transfer from trolley to car. I love these bags and cannot imagine how I lived without.them I use mine in the large trolleys as well as the express trolleys as I just take the two smaller bags when I am using an express trolley. I have had so many compliments and many people coming up to me asking where I purchased them. I am more than happy to sing the praises of these bags and thank you for making my shop so much easier.
No longer a struggle at the checkout with all those plastic bags, just load them up and away in next to no time. Brilliant. Every one should have a set, will speed up the flow and cut the time spent queuing at the checkouts.
Absolutely amazing bags!! So easy to load up at the check out and seem strong. They were a Xmas present and have really impressed me. Tempted to buy them for family!
European Shopper - 5 Stars!
As a European shopper I can tell that these bags fit perfectly into our trolleys as well. The only thing is, some of our trolleys have a divider (not sure why, but some still do) but that's easily overcome by simple flopping the smallest bag over it and let it hang in there.
Allthough I do agree with previous, English, reviews that the biggest bags are a bit to deep to carry comfortable, I am amazed at how much groceries they actually hold! The fabric is very sturdy, so even when shopping heavy duty items, they don't easily rip or tear.
As for now, and because I think the dutch are to reserved, I get a lot of stares during shopping, nobody really dares to ask about them. I really do recommend everyone in my circle the bags, they're great for scan and shop. And at home every bag just goes to it's designated area where it can get unpacked and stored.
Bought mine a few weeks ago and I love them. So quick and easy to load at the checkout.
We bought one a few months ago and were so impressed that we've purchased a further 4 as Christmas presents!!Excellent item.
Bought three sets of these bags. Express for myself.original for my son and sister. We are all very pleased with these bags. So easy to pack and put in the car. Neat and compact put back in car for next shop. Excellent wished I had known about them sooner.
Just used them for the first time today. Bags are great sizes, and I was easily able to fit my weekly shop (for a family of 5) into them with room to spare. I tried to distribute the weight as evenly as possible, and as a result they weren't too heavy to take in and out of the car, and up to my apartment. The only thing that could improve them, would be an additional "cold" bag, for frozen items. I have one of these, and in future I will bring this into the shop with me in addition to the trolley bags.

Chennai: IT bellwether Infosys Technologies Wednesday said the process of integrating the UK-based Axon Group with itself would be considered only after the completion of acquisition.
"The issue of integrating Axon with Infosys will be considered once we complete the acquisition. Further, the decision to hive off our consultancy business in favour of Axon or other structure will be taken once Infosys gets near total control of Axon," Infosys chief executive officer and managing director S. Gopalakrishnan told reporters.
According to him, the operating profit margin from the consultancy business will go up after the acquisition.
"We are one of the companies that gives out guidance numbers. Our philosophy is to get good margins in all our business," Gopalakrishnan said.
At present, Infosys has a profit margin of around 30 percent whereas the British company's margin is around 15 percent.
He denied reports about counter-offers for Axon and said Infosys has the backing of Axon's management for acquisition.
Gopalakrishnan added that he did not foresee any backtracking by either side on this issue.
The Bangalore-based Infosys Monday announced its decision to acquire Axon for 407 million pounds ($753 million).
According to Gopalakrishnan, the acquisition would complement Infosys and would not contradict its existing consulting business in Europe.
"The overlap between customers and industry segments are minimal. We see it as an opportunity to cross sell," he said.


"Through Mursion, the mistakes students used to make in front of real students can now be made in front of avatars," said Tom Brady, the school's Mursion coordinator and a clinical associate professor. "This way, a student can watch back for feedback and see themselves teaching for the first time.
Mursion is designed so that if a student does not do well, there are no consequences because the avatars just forget and the student can start again. If the teacher does that in the classroom, the kids don't forget.
Since all the qualities of the virtual classroom are controlled by a faculty member teaching the class, students who feel they did poorly can re-enter the virtual classroom and teach the lesson again without having affected student learning. Depending on the lesson objectives, sessions typically last anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.
The system works from two ends. From one end, a teacher interacts with a screen showing a classroom with multiple avatar personalities. On the other end, a trained actor candidly speaks through a voice modulator and mimics certain movements through handheld controllers, basing reactions on predetermined personality traits of the Mursion students.
"The actors work very hard on changing their pitch just a little bit, and through the modulator, a 20-year-old woman can sound like a 13-year-old boy," Brady said.
As of now, two actors provide all the voices. Each session is organic and personal; they are not scripted, but personality descriptions of each avatar are provided for a foundational, yet unique, experience.
Abby Wilson, a senior theatre major from Oxford, learned about Mursion through David Rock, UM education dean, who saw her perform in several high school productions.
Once the Mursion acting job opened up, he reached out to see if Wilson would be interested. She uses her theater background to help her act out as a middle schooler behind the screen. But there is a lot more to the job than just acting, Wilson said.
Much like activating a Kinect or Xbox, the user walks in front of a Kinect cable until the system confirms he or she is identified. The avatars have many controls to react back to the teacher, much like those on an Xbox or Wii controller. Through a wireless connection, the teacher can be heard and seen as he or she interacts with the virtual students on the screen.
Scarlett McCombs, a master's student in elementary education from Oxford, is another Mursion student actor. While Wilson's experience covers acting, McCombs' covers the classroom.
"Many candidates do not have much experience with public speaking or working with children, and the Mursion experience scaffolds them toward success in both of these areas through providing the most authentic virtual experience we can," McCombs said.
Together, their qualifications and studies make the perfect fit for a realistic and credible student classroom experience.
By having real humans behind the virtual students, the sessions mimic the everyday parts of being a teacher very well. Specifically, student behaviors are designed to challenge the teachers, occasionally even lashing out or acting inappropriately.
A new dynamic soon will be introduced to the classroom, when UM faculty will add a student who struggles with dyslexia and a friend who mocks them in class.
"If you see these sorts of things for the first time in a real classroom, you are more likely to crash and burn and let down some real kids, but instead, they are seeing it here first," Brady said.
The avatars act on three levels. The first level requires student avatars to act relatively obedient; if they "goof-off" and are disciplined by the teacher, they will immediately listen and get back on task.
The second level generates pushback, and avatars may speak inappropriately to the teacher. They may fall asleep, play on their phones or "air-drum" on their desks when they are not interested in what the teacher has to say.
The hardest level generates the kids to not let the teacher get anything done; it is not used in either section for the Ole Miss classes.
Larry Christman, aka "Mr. C," is a retired Oxford Elementary School principal and the Mursion lab facilitator. Christman is usually in the room with the students as a coach and evaluator.
Christman began facilitating Mursion about seven years ago and has dealt with many nervous students over the years.
There is no such thing as perfect performance in a Mursion session. Christman said his role is to help students learn to be adaptable in the sometimes unpredictable profession of teaching.
"Several years ago, I had a young lady who got up to teach her lesson and started crying," Christman said. "She just froze up! My graduate assistant and I took her out in the hallway. We consoled her.
Mursion is required for all students, but it is not graded. It is used for feedback. This helps create a more realistic and calm environment for students to develop into teachers.
"I learned a lot from the two TeachLive sessions that I completed," said Lizzy Sloan, a senior elementary education major from New Canaan, Connecticut. "They were both very meaningful experiences. I learned that it is normal to feel nervous before teaching students, especially for the first time, and to work through those feelings.
The university is helping Mursion grow across state lines, too, specifically to Alabama. Jan Miller, dean of the College of Education at the University of West Alabama, was thrilled to incorporate Mursion into the curriculum after hearing from Ole Miss users.
"Integrating Mursion into our educator preparation program helps to provide opportunities to start teaching on day one with more proficiency in classroom management and more confidence in the pedagogy of teaching," Miller said.
Using Mursion early in the education program ensures candidates will be better prepared for future professional experiences, she said. With the help of UWA, UM is continuing to push Mursion expansion efforts across the country.
Mursion also has room to grow at UM. Rooms are available for off-site locations such as Southaven and Tupelo, using the actors in Oxford.
"We can do more … there is room to expand to offering sessions all week long," Brady said.
Last year, UM faculty added a counseling session with virtual parents. This "parent-teacher meeting" will act as a new dynamic for the students, because teaching not only involves children, but also their parents. This will allow students to learn to deal with many different kinds of parent personalities.
Platt and Debbie Chessin, retired associate professor of education, worked on this course for to give Ole Miss students opportunities to apply data evaluation and communication skills.
"This is the time for (students) to make the mistakes and receive guidance, so they should have no fear," Platt said.
A 2018 evaluation from the School of Education found that almost 90 percent of Ole Miss education students believe the Mursion simulation feels like a real classroom and that they are more confident to teach real students after their experience. Additionally, more than 90 percent of students say they would recommend the Mursion experience to peers who want to be teachers.
"I tell the students that nothing will take the place of flesh-and-blood students, but Mursion is a close second," Christman said.

Infosys net profit jumps 28.6% in Q2, shares surge

Consolidated net profit in rupee terms rose to Rs3,096 crore in the quarter ended 30 Sep from Rs2,407 crore a year ago
Mumbai: Infosys Ltd, India's second largest software services exporter, on Friday reported a higher-than-expected 28.6% increase in fiscal second quarter (Q2) net profit as it added almost 50 new clients and benefited from a foreign exchange gain. The company announced a one-for-one stock dividend, propelling its shares to a record high.
The Bangalore-based company's consolidated net profit in rupee terms rose to ₹ 3,096 crore in the quarter ended 30 September from ₹ 2,407 crore a year ago, Infosys said in its first earnings announcement under Vishal Sikka, who took over as its first non-founder chief executive officer (CEO) on 1 August. Revenue at ₹ 13,342 crore rose 2.9% from ₹ 12,965 crore in the year ago.
Infosys shares surged 6.7% to end at a record 3,888.95 on a day the benchmark Sensex lost 1.28% to 26,297.38 points and the BSE IT index rose 2.29% to 10,680.74 points. The board recommended a bonus issue of one equity share for every share held, Infosys said.
The earnings beat analyst estimates. The company had been expected to report a net profit of ₹ 2,951.7 crore on revenue of ₹ 13,318.6 crore, according to an analyst poll by Bloomberg.
Infosys, which counts among its clients BT Group Plc, Bank of America Corp. and Volkswagen AG, maintained its full-year revenue growth forecast at 7-9%, lower than the 13-15% average industry expansion forecast by software lobby group Nasscom.
Infosys signed up 49 new clients, including three $200 million customers and 13 $100 million ones, in the quarter gone by and trimmed administrative expenses by almost 10% to ₹ 889 crore. It secured seven large deals with a total contract value of $511 million, the company said in the earnings call.
"Digital transformation is reshaping the business of every one of our clients. We see this as a great opportunity to help them renew the core of their business as well as to expand into new frontiers and are seeing early positive results," said Sikka.
"We are renewing every service line, everything that we offer, on the basis of innovation, on the basis of automation," he said, adding that Infosys was building a new information platform that will tap into areas like Big Data, machine learning and analytics that will help the company to win large deals.
On new directions, Sikka said Infosys was in the process of organizing classes on artificial intelligence, design thinking and computer science for all its employees. It will look at a more non-linear (not employee-related) strategy of automation and collaboration, especially to tap into underpenetrated high-growth markets, he said
In dollar terms, the fiscal Q2 revenue at $2.2 billion was up 6.5% from a year ago and 3.1% from the preceding quarter. Dollar net profit at $511 million was up 33.4% from a year earlier and 6% from the preceding quarter.
Indian IT firms earn most of their revenue in dollars and spend most of it in rupees since a majority of their employees work out of the country. Sales from clients in the US and Europe account for about 86% of the revenue at Infosys, which said revenue from North America grew 3.1% in the June quarter from the preceding quarter, while that from Europe rose 4.2%. Domestic revenue declined 5.1% from the preceding quarter.
The operating margin widened to 26.11% in the September quarter from 21.9% a year earlier. Infosys had a foreign exchange gain of ₹ 148 crore due to the depreciation of the rupee versus the dollar in the same period.
The IT services volume growth was 3% over the preceding quarter, securities house Emkay Global said. The Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margin—an indicator of operating profitability—improved by about 130 basis points, Emkay Global added. A basis point is 0.01%.
Infosys is going through a "sluggish" growth phase as compared with industry standards, according to Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst and CEO of Greyhound Research, an IT and telecom advisory firm.
"Getting a buy-in from senior management, addressing investors, areas of improvement, becoming more hands-on to the business are the key things that Vishal would have to address for the first 12 months or a short-term goal," said Gogia.
Greyhound Research does not expect any major changes in the next two-three quarters. "The first 90 days (of a CEO's stint) are more internal-facing. It's important for Vishal to understand the business, its people and issues revolving around the company," said Gogia. "He should essentially better acquaint himself with the business and develop relationships, and earn trust before making defining changes."
Sikka acknowledged that there was scope to do much better in the areas of client relations, and sales and marketing.
The company's banking, financial services and insurance services, its largest business segment, grew 32.8% in the September quarter, while manufacturing grew 23.3%, retail and life sciences rose by 23.4% and telecom was up 8.9%.
Infosys said pricing was stable in the quarter.
The company added 14,255 employees (gross addition) during the quarter. It employed 165,411 employees as on 30 September.
The company's attrition rate remains high at about 20.1%, higher than the 12-14% the management said it will be comfortable with. In a bid to stem attrition, Infosys has promoted about 12,000 employees since April, besides giving a 100% variable bonus to all its employees in the September quarter.
The issue of new stock, which won't change the par value of the shares, is subject to investor approval and is designed to boost liquidity, the company said. Infosys will also pay an interim cash dividend of ₹ 30 per share.
"The numbers are really positive, and the bonus is icing on the cake," said Ankita Somani, analyst with Marwadi Shares and Finance Ltd in Mumbai. "They want to please investors."
Bloomberg contributed to this story.

Third GDS-Index Whitepaper Released
At the European Cities Marking Conference, the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS-Index) released their third Whitepaper that details the case studies, data analysis and the actions taken by 47 Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) and municipalities to become destinations of choice for meetings, events and business tourism.
The whitepaper defines six converging mega trends that present destinations and the Event Industry with opportunities to improve their performance and adapt to the risks presented by climate breakdown, ecocide, demographic shifts, social change and digitalisation. It highlights four fundamental building blocks for DMOs to become sustainable destination stewards and changemakers and defines eight tactics on how destinations can integrate sustainability into their core strategy and become leaders in future-oriented collaboration.
Guy Bigwood, Managing Director of the GDS-Index adds: "Driven by concerned students, citizens, local governments and corporations a new era of sustainability is rising, and will touch every corner of the events industry. We believe that a better and more restorative global future lies in urban innovation and collaborative action. The GDS-Index plays a key role to engage, inspire and enable destinations to become more sustainable places to visit, meet and thrive in."

Sallee S. Smyth
In re Marriage of Christensen, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 777 (Tex. App. – Texarkana February 6, 2019) (Cause No. 06-18-00070-CV)
After 8 years of marriage, W filed for divorce and sought JMC with exclusive right to establish the residence of the parties only child. H filed a counter petition seeking JMC and the exclusive domicile right. Neither party pled for a geographic restriction. During the marriage the parties lived in Cass County where the child attended pre-K however both parties were employed at jobs in Bowie County. After the parties' separated, they both relocated their residences to Bowie County and the child began elementary school there. During trial, W testified that she was moving to Red River County (60 miles from H) and that she had taken a job in Paris, TX which paid her $20K more per year. H testified that the move would severely impact his time with the child because he would not be able to exercise any of his "school to school" overnight time. H further testified that there were many medical facilities in the area where W could pursue employment opportunities. The court named the parties JMC and gave W the exclusive right to designate the child's residence in Bowie county and awarded H expanded possession periods with the child. W appealed, arguing that (1) the evidence was insufficient to support imposition of a geographic restriction and (2) that the trial court had no authority to sua sponte impose a restriction where there were no pleadings to support it. The COA almost summarily rejected W's first issue finding sufficient evidence that the restriction was in the child's best interest. As to the second issue, the COA found that while TRCP 301 does require a judgment to be supported by both pleadings and proof, the rules are relaxed in SAPCR cases. The COA reviewed the H's counter petition which asked that "the parties be named as JMC, with all the rights and duties of a parent conservator" and that "[H] should be named as the conservator with the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child." The COA determined that this pleading requested the court to address the rights and duties of the conservators over the child which in turn gave the trial court "decretal powers" over the issue of the child's residency, authorizing sua sponte imposition of a geographic restriction. Judgment affirmed.
In the Interest of N.E.S., 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 856 (Tex. App. – Dallas February 6, 2019) (mem. op.) (Cause No. 05-18-00451-CV)
NES was born in 2011 to M and F who were not married. In 2012 the 15th District Court of Grayson County entered a final order in a suit brought by the OAG which order included terms for conservatorship, possession and support. In 2013 M and F married. In early February 2015, M filed a pro se action for divorce which landed in the 397th District Court of Grayson County. M used a form to file for divorce which contained a statement that no other court had continuing jurisdiction over the case. M did not check the box provided by this statement. Within her petition she sought orders for support, conservatorship and possession. F was served by publication but did not file an answer or otherwise appear. Instead, F filed a suit in CA two weeks later seeking custody of the child which the CA court dismissed for want of jurisdiction. In May 2015 the TX divorce court signed a final decree which stated that evidence supported its jurisdiction. F received notice of the decree and in 2017 he filed a MTM which stated that "this court has jurisdiction of this suit." Both parties were represented by counsel. In January 2018 the Court issued an order finding that is had jurisdiction over the suit and denied F's modification. F sought FFCL and specifically asked the trial court to issue findings supporting its finding that "no other court had jurisdiction." F filed a MNT which claimed that the trial court had no subject matter jurisdiction over the suit. This motion was overruled by operation of law. The trial court issued findings stating that the suit originated as a divorce and that neither party challenged the court's jurisdiction at any time in the original divorce suit or the modification. F did not seek any additional findings. F appealed. The COA initially notes that subject matter jurisdiction must exist and a judgment rendered without it can be collaterally attacked. TFC 155.001(a) provides that once a court obtains continuing exclusive jurisdiction, no other court has jurisdiction over a SAPCR except as provided by Chapter 155 (and a few other states not relevant here). If the pleadings suggest that jurisdiction might be disputed, the petitioner and the court have a mandatory duty to ask the BVS to identify the proper court with jurisdiction. If it is determined that the suit has been filed in the wrong court, dismissal without prejudice is then required. However, TFC 155.003 provides that a court will have jurisdiction if (1) the court is misinformed by BVS that no other court has jurisdiction, (2) the petition states no other court has jurisdiction and (3) the BVS does not notify the court of its mistake prior to rendition of a final order. TFC 155.004(b) further provides that a final order rendered in the absence of information from BVS, the order is only voidable (not void) if it is determined that another court actually had continuing jurisdiction. F's only issue on appeal argued that the 397th District Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because it belonged to the 15th District Court and that the 397th could not have relied on misinformation from BVS because no BVS inquiry was ever made. F argues the final orders are void, not voidable. Relying on TFC 155.004(b), the COA holds that the final order is only voidable because the 397th signed an order "in the absence of information from [BVS]" and this phrase does not impose an obligation to make inquiry as a prerequisite to characterizing the order as voidable. F did not raise his jurisdictional complaint until his MNT but then offered no explanation. If he had done so, the trial court might have been able to consider a transfer. Because F did not give the trial court enough specificity to correct the error, F did not preserve that error for the court's review. Judgment affirmed.
Zielinski v. Zielinski, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 893 (Tex. App. – Austin February 8, 2019) (mem. op.) (Cause No. 03-18-00063-CV)
H and W met in 2000 at Fort Hood, TX. H was a 22 year old captain in the army and wanted a family. W, born in Panama in 1963, was actually 37 years old and had a 10 year old daughter from a prior marriage. Even though she was 37, she represented to H that she was only 27. H and W married in 2001 in NC and W listed her birth year as 1973 (not 63) on the marriage license. H subsequently adopted W's daughter and help W and child obtain permanent residency in the US. The parties tried to get pregnant and W had 3 miscarriages over the next several years. H would attribute this to W's advanced age (unknown to him at the time) and W claimed it was due to the stress of military life. W used separate funds to pay for in vitro fertilization. H and W attended counseling and renewed their vows in 2007. They separated in 2010 and H filed for divorce in 2014. An agreed decree and property division was signed in 2015. The decree obligated H to pay W $1200+ in spousal maintenance for 4 years or until W remarried, whichever was earlier. H remarried and his new wife became suspicious of his first marriage so H hired a PI to investigate. The PI discovered multiple documents identifying W's date of birth in 1963, revealing that she had misled H. H filed a bill of review to set aside the final decree and to relieve him of his spousal maintenance obligations and he sought damages from W. After 2 days of trial the court denied H's bill of review and issued no FFCL. H appealed and both parties were pro se on appeal. The COA recites the standards required for a BOR, including establishing a meritorious defense that the party was prevented from making based on fraud, accident or mistake of the opposing party, unmixed with any fault or negligence of his own. H claims on appeal that he is entitled to a BOR because if he had known W's true age, he would have sought an annulment based on fraud rather than a divorce. He offered several documents showing W's true age and her fabricated age. The COA agreed that this evidence established the availability of a meritorious defense based on fraud and that he might have prevailed on a claim for annulment versus one for divorce. However, the COA determined that H could not prove his own lack of fault or negligence in the process. In response to H's claims of fraud, the W testified that over the life of the marriage they participated in many legal events (adoption, immigration, military assignments and medical treatments for fertility) and that her correct date of birth was identified on many of the documents involved in these proceedings. H also admitted that he ultimately obtained the information about W's age from resources that were readily available to him prior to the divorce. The COA believed that with due diligence, H could have discovered the truth and thus his own negligence contributed to the entry of a divorce decree instead of an annulment. Judgment denying BOR affirmed.
In re Marriage of D.E.L, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 979 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th Dist.] February 12, 2019) (mem. op.) (Cause No. 14-17-00216-CV)
H and W married in 2005 and had two sons. When the children were 1 and 3, H committed a gang related murder and was thereafter convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The children, age 10 and 12 at the time of divorce did not know H, had never visited H and did not identify themselves with H in any way. H's family offered W no assistance after he went to prison and W only spoke to H's sister occasionally. W filed for divorce and sought to be named SMC, asked that H be given no contact with the children and requested that the children's surname be changed to her maiden name. H participated in trial by phone. W testified that she wanted the children's names changed because she was afraid of H and that as a former gang member she was worried that people might discover the children's parentage and they could be bullied or suffer emotionally. W admitted that she had not yet found a way to even tell the children what their father had done or that he was in prison. After trial the court named W SMC, named F as PC, changed the children's name, ordered that H have contact with the children only by mail. The court also awarded possession to H's sister one weekend every other month. Before a final order was signed, W filed a motion to reconsider the possession ruling. The court heard some argument then reset to allow H time to file a response. The second hearing was heard by the AJ who granted the motion and eliminated the terms for possession by the paternal aunt. The presiding judge thereafter signed a final decree. H appealed. H first argued that the AJ had no authority to rule on the motion to reconsider since there was no written order assigning him to hear the case. The COA did not reach the issue because it determined that since the presiding judge had the right to modify his rulings at any time during his plenary power, the fact that the judge signed the final decree which omitted terms of the aunt's possession contrary to his original ruling was in effect a modification within his plenary power and therefore authorized. The COA further determined that the omission of possessory terms was proper because a court has no authority to grant possession and access to a person who is not a party to the suit. Since it was undisputed that the aunt was not a party, such an order would have been improper. As to the name change, the COA found that the evidence supported recognized factors to be considered and that the change was in the children's best interest. H argued that the W's name change petition did not comply with TFC 45.002(b) which required written consents from the children since they were both over the age of 10. The COA ruled that this pleading defect was waived since no special exceptions were filed. The COA rejected H's arguments that he was not given adequate opportunities to defend himself because he offered no evidence disputing the name change at trial when the court asked him if he had anything further to say. As to limitations on H's communication by mail, the COA found the evidence sufficient because the children did not know H, had never visited him in prison and actually did not know he was there and direct contact might have caused them emotional harm. Judgment affirmed.
In re Clay, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 991 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth February 12, 2019, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (Cause No. 02-18-00404-CV)
M and F had a child in 214, lived together but never married. When they separated in 2016, F filed a SAPCR. An agreed order was signed in October 2016 naming them JMC, awarding M primary rights, ordering child support and granting F possession. In August 2017 M notified F that she and the child were moving in with D. In January 2018 M filed a MTM seeking increased child support. M and D got engaged in April 2018 and planned to marriage in October 2018. In July 2018 M was killed in a car accident. The child, then 3, went to live with F and his wife. F filed pleadings in the still pending SAPCR to terminate his child support. Maternal grandparents (MGP) intervened and sought conservatorship rights to the child, claiming standing under TFC 102.004. D (M's fiancée) also filed an intervention within 90 days of M's death, asking that he be named as a JMC with F. D alleged standing under TFC 102.003(9) (actual care and control for 6 months) and (11) (parent and child lived with person for 6 months and suit is filed within 90 days after parent dies). MGP also filed suit in probate court to establish a management trust for the child's estate which received the benefits of a $400K life insurance policy upon M's death. F sought to be named permanent guardian of the child's estate. F filed motions to strike both interventions claiming that both MGP and D lacked standing. After a hearing the trial court denied the motion to strike and F sought mandamus relief. The COA examined the record and found that as to MGP, they did not carry their burden to demonstrate that F's appointment as SMC would be harmful to the child. Further, their failure to produce evidence supporting this high standard likewise refuted their standing to seek grandparent visitation orders. The COA granted mandamus as to the MGP ruling and ordered the trial court to vacate its order denying the motion to strike in favor or a new order dismissing them from the suit. As to the fiancée however, the COA went through the standards established by the 2018 Supreme Court decision in H.S. (550 SW3 151) and held that the evidence supported that the child's principal residence was with D for the requisite period of time and that D had exercised actual care and control over the child in various ways satisfying the standing requirements. The COA rejected F's arguments that granting standing to D interfered with his parental rights. Mandamus denied as to the trial court's order granting standing to D.
In re Hardin, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 1392 (Tex. App. – Amarillo February 25, 2019) (Cause No. 07-17-00368-CV)
H and W married in 1977. In 2016 W filed for divorce and H filed a counter petition. At the time of the filing, W was 61 and had been retired from teaching since 2010. H was 62 and had been retired since 2015. The parties agreed to a division of most of their assets by the time of trial. The remaining issue concerned the valuation and division of their retirement benefits. H's retirement was valued at $357K. W, under TRS, had elected to receive a 10 year guaranteed payment of $2590/month with a lifetime annuity for the same amount thereafter until her death. It was undisputed that W had purchased a portion of her years of creditable service for retirement with separate property funds, making 18% of her retirement s/p. Experts for both H and W agreed that the value of W's guaranteed payments was $89,925. They disagreed however on the value of the annuity payments. W's expert testified that they were worth only $2590 per month for every month the wife lived after the guaranteed payments and that it was too speculative to value the annuity in any other amount. H's expert testified that based on W's life expectancy, her total retirement benefits had a present value of $552.731 and after deducting W's s/p portion, the value of the community interest was $381,022. At the close of evidence the court awarded W all of her retirement benefits and $160K from H's retirement. H requested findings and the trial court found that W's annuity retirement was worth zero because any other value was too speculative. The court also found that its decision considered that H would receive social security benefits, whereas W would not. H appealed. The COA held that valuation errors alone do not constitute an abuse of discretion and it must be shown that the error contributed to a division that was manifestly unjust. The COA determined that there was "no evidence" which could support the trial court's finding that the annuity portion of W's retirement was valued at zero. Further, the COA holds that a trial court's valuation that is not within the range of evidence is an abuse of discretion determining that all of the evidence established that the annuity portion was a community asset that had value. Further, the COA determined that since the evidence established that it could have a value of $281,022 which was a substantial part of the entire community, the trial court's error caused an improper division. Property division reversed and remanded.

PRISONERS (2013) – Film Review
Erik Yates September 19, 2013 2013Current ReviewsP
A Prisoner of its Own Ambition Leaves the Audience Feeling Like They Are the Ones Who Are Trapped
Director: DENIS VILLENEUVE/2013
Prisoners is a film that on the surface should be a knockout. The cast is anchored by Hugh Jackman (The Wolverine, Les Miserables, Real Steel) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, End of Watch, Brokeback Mountain) and features the support of Terrance Howard (Dead Man Down, Hustle & Flow, Iron Man), Viola Davis (The Help), Maria Bello (History of Violence, ER), Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Looper), and Melissa Leo (Oblivion, The Fighter). The premise featured in the trailer is a guaranteed nail-biter: two little girls, who are friends, are kidnapped from their front yard during a Thanksgiving dinner without leaving any clues behind. The parents are frantic. When the cops can't find any actionable leads, despite having a suspect in custody, the fathers of the two children begin to enact justice in ways that the police cannot.
The movie sets itself up as a mystery, leaving you clues along the way of who might be responsible for the kidnapping of these two innocent children. The real mystery, however, is how a film like this, which is clearly a vehicle built to be a massive hit, falls so short of its promise and leaves the audience with such a mundane experience.
You must be warned up front that this film clocks in at roughly 153 minutes. And as you watch, you feel every second. There are moments where Prisoners is compelling and gripping, and then there are long stretches of time where we are meant to feel what the parents are feeling, not knowing if they'll ever see their little girls again. While this is a great plot device that is meant to attach the audience to the emotions being felt onscreen, Prisoners very rarely grabs you and draws you into the emotion of the characters onscreen. It instead has you checking your watch.
This is part of the mystery of the failings of this film, because Hugh Jackman does a great job in this role as a contractor trying to hold it together while desiring justice be served and his little girl to be found. But despite his efforts, so much of the support system of his family and friends seems detached from him, despite the sound performances of the cast. Maria Bello, who plays his wife, is largely missing throughout the film and you never sense that they are part of the same family trying to deal with the same event. Each copes in their own way, but rarely does the film try to connect us to the family as a whole. His son gets one bonding scene with his father and one with his sister before disappearing for 3/4ths of the film.
Terrence Howard's role could have been developed a lot more. Meant to be a contrasting personality and more of a morally grounded individual compared to Jackman, Howard is given very little to do except stand around, in each scene, watching Jackman will himself to break all kinds of moral boundaries in order to help their daughters make it home alive.
Jake Gyllenhaal, likewise, plays a quiet police officer who is said to have solved every case he has been on. We are given no other real background despite a mention of troubled past in a church-based boys home. He is simply slow, steady, methodical, and subdued in his approach to the case. Yet despite his subdued portrayal, his presence fills the screen, as do hints that he has a much more colorful past than his squeaky clean cop persona would suggest. Tattoos adorn his neck, and hands, in contrast with his clean-cut mannerisms and dress. His steady, somber, yet relentless nature is a great complement to the anxious, angry, slightly-odd survivalist of Jackman's character.
Other films in this vein I believe, despite being a bit more manipulative in getting the audience pumped up to destroy the bad guys, have done a better job than Prisoners at grabbing the audience, pulling them into the emotions of the family going through the ideal, and allowing them the release they need to pursue justice as they watch it unfold. Ron Howard's Ransom is a prime example of what Prisoners sets out to be, even if Prisoners would prefer to be more raw in its portrayal than the Hollywood gloss and polish of the Mel Gibson starring film. But where Ransom, and even the more recent Taken, played all the right notes for the audiences enjoyment, Prisoners seems content to sit back and just let it slowly unfold layer by layer, even if it loses the audience it is trying to win.
Too much time is spent with Jackman capturing and torturing the person he believes is responsible for the crime against his little girl than him simply getting some facts that allows him to push forward. In fact, the entire middle part of the movie seems stuck in the same gear and bogs down any goodwill it built up with the premise, cast, and tense first act.
By the time the third act kicks into gear, we finally get a taste of what the movie is aiming for. Clues begin to become more clear, and lead to more questions that take the script forward. But as it does so, Jackman and Gyllenhaal and the antagonist is all there really is. We loose touch of Terrance Howard, Viola Davis, Maria Bello and their families for the most part. While this enables the film to focus the storyline in order to jump into a higher gear in terms of action, their part of the story being overlooked causes the ending of the film to largely lose the family-based validation and reconciliation that it was seeking at the beginning of the film.
In the end, the straight-forward kidnapping, vigilante justice film narrative that it seeks to pursue is distracted by a weightier religious subplot that is not fully dealt with. Religious iconography fills the screen from statues, crosses, and platitudes. We also see characters steeped in a version of faith or the lack thereof. Each character in the film seems to be a subtle caricature of the religious extremists we read about. All are Christian-based caricatures in this film. Their form of faith is to listen to odd gospel music, plan for surviving the end of days, or have religious motivations for some of the most odd behaviors they exhibit. Ultimately, we are presented with the notion of a war going on against God. Apparently this whole film is a visual depiction of this war as it plays out in all of our lives. Everyone is a cause, and everyone is a victim of this battle.
This exploration of brokenness and its effect on our actions and their ramifications is a bold idea and worthy of explorations, but here it serves as a distraction to the larger narrative the audience is there to see played out on the screen.
In the end, Prisoners simply ends without fully resolving the conflict it set-up in the beginning. This only solidifies the problem many will have with the film as a whole. Namely, how can a film with such a strong story, cast, and narrative find itself falling so short of its own goals and only producing a lackluster experience despite a gut-ripping subject matter? The answer is that maybe this film is simply a prisoner of its own ambition. The problem is that while watching this movie, we feel like the ones who are trapped.
