The document is a legal brief submitted to the Supreme Court of Texas by Arturo de la Cruz in response to a petition filed by Columbus P. Brown. It addresses issues related to the enforcement of penalties under Texas Property Code §5.102, which mandates that sellers provide recorded legal title within thirty days after final payment. The brief argues that de la Cruz has a private cause of action against Brown for failing to comply with this statute, emphasizing the legislative intent behind the law and asserting that penalties are separate from actual damages. The document outlines the facts of the case, legislative history, and statutory interpretation, ultimately seeking affirmation of the lower court's ruling.
