Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

Nigger are you seriously still arguing? I'm not telling you to admit defeat but you really should stop.
Citation from Texas 5th court of appeals, Linda Dickens v. Jason Webster:

"Dickens argues the trial court erred by striking the amended counterclaim because Webster’s motion was for partial summary judgment. She cites no authority that a hearing on a motion for partial summary judgment is not a trial within the meaning of rule 63."

"A summary judgment hearing is a trial within the meaning of Rule 63. Contrary to Dickens’s argument, this principle extends to hearings on motions for partial summary judgment. "

I get that you all hate me because I'm not buying every argument Nick puts out as word of god even when it disagrees with the law and court rulings in Texas, but it's amazing how many people dumbspam me even on basic incontrovertible stuff. I came here to present a viewpoint that is sorely lacking here (all the other legal forums have no interest in this case because they are sure Vic is destined to lose because of Ty), so I knew what I signed up for, but damn if the response hasn't been more hostile than I expected.

Come on I know you can read!!!

lets do this I even highlighted things for you.

Trial T R I A L it spells trial.

TCPA hearing T C P A it means Texas Civil Participation Act

Summary judgement hearing

Now follow along bird brain what are the three things we are trying to remember?

yes that's right
Trial, TCPA, and Summary judgement hearing

It's important we remember these thing are not the same word. If you can remember this I will let you play with some toy trains.

the TCPA isn't a summary judgement, Summary Judgements have long been considered trials under Texas Precedent

There is no such caselaw for the TCPA, unless you can find me caselaw that calls the TCPA a Summary Judgement, fuck off.

Defendants all filed motions to dismiss under the TCPA, not motions for summary judgement.
If they wanted summary judgement they should have filed as such and probably would have had a somewhat easier time, you and the judge keep fucking this up.

Wrong. TCPA hearings are never, ever summary judgement hearing
The TCPA provides for a motion to dismiss. Just a motion to Dismiss.

You can read the law! It doesn't have a Summary Judgement provision.

You’re not wrong, dismiss vs summary judgement depends entirely on jurisdiction and admittedly I’m drunk on cheap whiskey right now staring off my 4 day weekend so I probably just had the wrong TCPA in my head.

Texas is wacky.
 
I'm pretty sure Nick's right, those bench dismissals were pretty damn explicit and it would be difficult to argue otherwise.

I honestly don't get why anyone argued otherwise. Sure they might VERY TECHNICALLY not count, but that is such a technicality you'd need to bring it to an appeals court anyway. For all intents and purposes, she is out unless Chupp reverses his decision explicitly.
 
Until it's been made precedent, feelings don't mean anything, unless you're lawtwitter

So far as I know the 1969 Dunn v. Dunn decision was never overruled, and the same principle was restated fairly recently.

The relevant section:

In Knox v. Long, 152 Tex. 291, 257 S.W.2d 289, 292 (1953), this Court set forth the rule regarding oral rendition of judgments.

"In Freeman on Judgments, 5th Ed., Vol. 1, Sec. 48, pp. 80 and 81, it is said that `the rendition of judgment is the pronouncement by the court of its conclusions and decision upon the matter submitted to it for adjudication' which `may be oral as well as written,' and that a judgment is `"rendered"' when the decision is officially announced either orally in open court or by memorandum filed with the clerk."
This rule giving validity to oral judgments from the bench is also recognized in Rule 306a, T.R.C.P., which provides in part that:

"Judges are directed to cause, and attorneys and clerks are directed to use their efforts to cause all judgments, decisions, and orders of any kind to be reduced to writing and signed by the trial judge and the date of signing stated therein; but absence of any such showing shall not invalidate any judgment or order."[1] [Emphasis added.]
The principle that an oral judgment by the court is valid is predicated upon the supporting principle that the entry of a trial judgment is only a ministerial act. Williams v. Wyrick, 151 Tex. 40, 245 S.W.2d 961 (1952); Bridgmen v. Moore, 143 Tex. 250, 183 S.W.2d 705 (1944); IV McDonald, Texas Civil Practice, § 17.05, p. 17 (1967 Supp.). Thus a written judgment signed by the trial judge is not a prerequisite *833 to the finality of a judgment. Texas State Board of Examiners in Optometry v. Lane, 337 S.W.2d 801, 804 (Tex.Civ. App.Ft. Worth 1960).

The Texas rules have been modified since to make it explicit that deadline times at least in the trial court are calculated from the entry of a written judgment, but the general principle should still stand.

have to wonder how chupp ordering marchi into mediation will affect that. It feels like an implicit reconsideration.

Put up or shut up. From your past performance, I doubt you read *any* legal forum at all. And no, the absolute trashfire of a thread on Twitter manned by a deadbeat bankrupt lawyer who rejected his only possible lifetime legacy of reproducing is not considered a legal forum in any capacity.
Some viewpoints, such as worshipping the Spednaught and gladly serving it up your ass without question, might encounter hard push back. Just a tip.
 
Would like to add that passing the Walmart store brand bar exam doesn't make you a lawyer just because you repeat the same lines lawtwitter has to say like a broken record.

Offering a different perspective is one thing but vomiting up the same exact shit ten different ways isn't a measure of intelligence or skill. If someone came in looking to validly discuss things instead of refuting every single thing that doesn't support the lawtwitter narrative most of us would be open to doing so.

But that would involve using more than half a brain cell.
