STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Nature of the case: This is a UIFSA registrationlmodification proceeding filed

by the Texas Office of the Attorney General (Title IV-D) to

register an Arizona consent decree (Feb. 23, 202fl that

reflected no child-support obligation and $0.00 arrears,

and to impose support in Texas under the label of

“modification.” Mr. Quinones specially appeared and filed

jurisdictional contests, asserting (i) no existing foreign

support order to register/modify, (ii) lack of proper service

of any notice of registration, and (iii) due-process defects.

The obligee’s filings acknowledged no current support

order.

Disposition in the On April 24, 2025, an Associate Judge of the 303rd
trial court:
District Court signed an Order Confirming Registration

and in Suit for Modification of Child Support Order

(UIFSA), setting current child support at $431/month and

-5-
medical support at $250/month. Mr. Quinones promptly

filed a motion to contest registration and modification and

sought a stay. A de novo setting was held before the

referring court on May 16, 2025: no new district-judge

order was signed, and Mr. Quinones preserved all

jurisdictional objections. He filed his notice of appeal.

Disposition in the The appeal is docketed in the Fifth Court of Appeals,
co art of appeals:
No. 05-25-00729-CV. The clerk’s record and the reporter’s

record from the May 1 6, 2025 setting are before the

Court. No appellate disposition has issued; briefing is

pending.

-6-
STANDARD OF REVIEW

Whether a trial court possesses subject-matter jurisdiction is a question of law

reviewed de novo. Tat Dept ofPar/cs & Wi/dli,fè v, Miranda, 133 S.W.3d 217,

226 (Tex. 2004).

Subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be conferred by waiver, consent, or estoppel. If

the trial court lacked jurisdiction, its order is void and must be vacated. Dubai

Petroleum Co v. Kazi, 12 S.W.3d 71, 76—77 (Tex. 2000).

Because Appellant challenges the trial court’s authority under the Uniform

Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) to register and “modify” when no

enforceable support order existed, this Court reviews de novo and should

declare the April 24, 2025 order void.

-7-
STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION

This Court has jurisdiction under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §

51.012 and Tex. Fam. Code § 109.002. The order appealed is the April 24, 2025

“Order Confirming Registration and in Suit for Modification of Child

Support Order (UIFSA)” (CR 203—06). Appellant timely filed notice of appeal

on June 13, 2025 (CR 239).

-8-
ISSUES PRESENTED

UIFSA Subject-Matter Jurisdiction

Did the trial court err by confirming registration and modifying where no

enforceable child-support order existed in the issuing state, contrary to Tex.

Fam. Code § 159.603?

[ Defective Notice of Registration (Due Process)

Did jurisdiction fail to vest where the “Notice of Registration of Foreign Support

Order” (CR 76) was never served on Appellant and bears irregularities

(including no file-stamp date), contrary to Tex. Fam. Code § 159.605(a)?

LI Creation of a New Obligation in a Registration Proceeding

Did the court exceed its statutory authority by creating a support obligation even

though the obligee’s filings reflect no current support order (CR 61, 67) and the

registration materials state S0.O0 arrears (CR 76)?

LI Waiver of Service / Special Appearance

Did the court err in treating Appellant’s Waiver of Service (CR 125—26) as a

general appearance where Appellant timely and repeatedly challenged jurisdiction

(CR 130, 134, 222) and subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be waived?
STATEMENT OF FACTS

1. The family’s Arizona dissolution decree (February 23, 2021) did not impose

a child-support obligation. The record reflects SO.0O arrears in the OAG’s

registration packet (CR 76) and the obligee’s filings deny any current

support order (CR 61, 67).

2. On or about December 4, 2024, the OAG initiated registrationlmodification

proceedings in Dallas County. The packet includes a “Notice of

Registration of Foreign Support Order” (CR 76) and transmittal materials

(CR 75—79).

3. The Notice of Registration in the record does not bear a file-stamp date,

and Appellant was never served with that notice as UIFSA requires

(CR 75—79).

4. Appellant filed timely jurisdictional challenges, including Motion to

Challenge Subject-Matter Jurisdiction (CR 130), Request for Judicial

Notice (CR 134), Motion to Contest Registration &

Modification (CR 222), and related filings.

5. The registration materials and the § 105.006 information sheet in the April

24, 2025 order reflect Social Security number endings that do not match

Appellant, creating an identity irregularity within the record. This

discrepancy, combined with the absence of a file-stamp on the “Notice of

- 10-
Registration” and lack of service, underscores a defective registration and

notice process. (CR 75—79, 203—06).

6. Despite the absence of an enforceable obligation, the Associate Judge signed

an “Order Confirming Registration and in Suit for Modification of

Child Support Order (UIFSA)” on April 24, 2025 (CR 203—06), imposing

support and medical suppor.

7. A de novo hearing was set and a reporter’s record prepared (RR Vol. 1, May

16, 2025). Appellant preserved jurisdictional objections and pursued appeal.

Appellant filed notices of appeal on April 28, 2025 (CR 234) and June 13,

2025 (CR 239).

- H -
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

The trial court lacked jurisdiction under UIFSA to register/modify because the

record shows no enforceable foreign support order existed. The OAG’s

registration packet reflects $0.00 arrears (CR 76) and the obligee’s sworn filings

indicate no current support order (CR 61, 67). Tex. Fam. Code §

159.603 authorizes registration of an existing support order—not the creation of

a new obligation.

Jurisdiction also failed because the Notice of Registration (CR 76) was never

served and is irregular (no file-stamp date), violating § 159.605(a). Without

proper service, the court could not acquire jurisdiction to confirm, enforce, or

“modify.”

Finally, the court exceeded UIFSA authority by creating a support

obligation within a registration proceeding. And Appellant’s Waiver of Service

(CR 125—26) cannot cure subject-matter defects; he preserved jurisdictional

objections in multiple filings (CR 130, 134, 222). The April 24, 2025 order (CR

203—06) is void and must be vacated.

- 12-
ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

I. Dc Novo Review Applies to Jurisdiction

Whether a court has subject-matter jurisdiction is reviewed de novo.Mirandc,, 133

S.W.3d at 226. Ifjurisdiction is absent, the order is void and must be

vacated. Duhai Petro/euni, 12 S.W.3d at 76—77.

II. UIFSA Allows Registration Only of an Existing Support Order; None

Existed Here

UIFSA authorizes registration of a foreign support order for

enforcement/modification. Tex. Fam. Code § 159.603. The record shows no

existing obligation to register:

• OAG’s packet lists $0.00 arrears (CR 76).

• The obligee’s sworn “General Testimony” filings indicate no current

support order (CR 61, 67).

Because no enforceable support order existed, Texas lacked subject-matter

jurisdiction to “confirm registration” or to modify. The court erred by entering

the April 24, 2025 confiniation/modification order (CR 203—06).

III. Lack of Proper Notice of Registration Deprived the Court of Jurisdiction

1l
- 1.) -
U1FSA requires that the nonregistering party be served with notice of

registration. Tex. Fam. Code § 159.605(a). The record copy of the notice

(CR 76) bears no file-stamp date, and Appellant was never served with it

(CR 75—79). Without proper notice, the court could not obtain jurisdiction to

confirm/enforce or modify. See, e.g., Wilson v. Dunn, 800 S.W.2d 833, 836 (Tex.

1990) (proper service is fundamental to jurisdiction). UIFSA requires strict

compliance with notice and accurate identifying information in the registration

packet. See Tex. Earn. Code § 159.602—.605. Here, the record shows a notice with

no file-stamp and no service on Appellant, and it contains mismatched SSN data

undermining reliable identification. Those defects together denied due process and

prevented jurisdiction from vesting. See Wilson v. Dunn, 800 S.W.2d 833, 836

(Tex. 1990).

In addition to statutory notice, due process requires notice reasonably calculated to

apprise the patty and an opportunity to be heard; the combination of missing file-

stamp, lack of service, and identity discrepancy fails that standard. See U.S. Const.

amend. XIV; Mid/one v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Tr, Co.. 339 U.S. 306, 3 14—15

(1950).

IV. The Court Created an Obligation in a Registration Proceeding—UIFSA

Prohibits That

- 14-
A registration action under § 159.603 is for enforcement (and, if the statute’s

prerequisites are met, modification of an existing order). It does not authorize

creation of a new child-support obligation where none exists. The record shows:

• The obligee’s forms deny any current support order (CR 61, 67).

• The OAG’s notice states S0.00 arrears (CR 76).

• Yet the court imposed new support obligations on April 24, 2025 (CR 203—

06).

This exceeded the tribunal’s statutory authority and requires vacatur.

V. Waiver of Service Does Not Confer Subject-Matter Jurisdiction;

Objections Were Preserved

Appellant signed a Waiver of Service (CR 125—26), but subject-matter

jurisdiction cannot be waived or created by consent. Dubai Petroleum, 12

S.W.3d at 76—77. Appellant timely and repeatedly contested

jurisdiction (CR 130, 134, 222). The court’s order is therefore void and must be

vacated.

RELIEF REQUESTED

Because the trial court lacked jurisdiction under IJIFSA, failed to ensure proper

registration notice, and exceeded its statutory authority by creating a support

- 15 -
obligation in a registration proceeding, the April 24, 2025 Order (CR 203—06)

is void and must be vacated.

- 16-
PRAYER FOR RELIEF

Appellant, Anthony Quinones, respectfully prays that this Court:

1. Vacate the April 24, 2025 “Order Confirming Registration and in Suit

for Modification of Child Support Order (UIFSA)” entered in Cause

No. DF-24-1 7475 by the 303rd Judicial District Cour of Dallas County,

Texas (CR 203—06);

2. Reinstate and give full faith and credit to the Arizona decree reflecting no

enforceable support obligation, as evidenced in the registration materials

(CR 75—79) and obligee filings (CR 61, 67);

3. Declare that no enforceable Texas child-support obligation exists against

Appellant arising from this registration action; and

4. Grant such other and further relief to which Appellant may’ be justly entitled.
