JUANITA BURCH AND WILLIAM BURCH, Appellants
V.
HOMESTAR GROUP, LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2025-008280-1
Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Bassel, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Sudderth
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
This forcible detainer case involves the same real property that was at issue in
Burch v. MCLP Asset Co., No. 02-25-00593-CV, 2026 WL 2275292, at *1–5 (Tex.
App.—Fort Worth Aug. 6, 2026, no pet.) (mem. op.). And in Burch, we set aside the
property’s foreclosure sale as void. See id. at *5 (holding that “the foreclosure was
void as a matter of law” and “render[ing] judgment setting aside the foreclosure sale”).
By then, though, Appellee Homestar Group, LLC had already relied on the
foreclosure sale to obtain the forcible detainer judgment at issue here. See id. at *2
(noting property’s sale to Homestar at foreclosure auction).
Given our holding in Burch, Homestar acknowledges that the forcible detainer
judgment must be reversed. And Appellants Juanita and William Burch agree. Thus,
the parties have jointly moved for this court to effectuate their agreement. See Tex. R.
App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A).
We grant the joint motion. In accordance with the parties’ agreement, we
reverse the trial court’s forcible detainer judgment and render a take-nothing
judgment against Homestar. See id.; see also Burch, 2026 WL 2275292, at *5. At the
parties’ request, the mandate shall issue immediately. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1(c).
Homestar must pay all costs of this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.4.
