Scott-Richter v. Taffarello

Appellants Allison Scott-Richter, Individually, a/k/a Allison Scott, Allison L. Scott, as Trustee of the Thomas Eugene Scott, Jr. Living Trust, and Allison L. Scott, as Trustee of the Allison L. Scott Trust ("Appellants," if jointly) appeal from an order granting an amended motion to enforce a settlement agreement between Appellants and Appellees Diana Taffarello and Robert L. Soltis ("Appellees," if jointly). In five issues, Appellants complain that the trial court erred as a matter of law by granting the amended motion to enforce the settlement agreement, that the trial court abused its discretion by denying their request for a jury trial and by awarding attorneys fees to Appellees, and that the filing of a notice of settlement constitutes an unlawful taking of property in violation of the United States and Texas Constitutions. We affirm.
