The purpose of sanctions is to secure compliance with the rules, to deter future violation of the rules, and to punish parties that violate the rules. (Chrysler Corp. v. Blackmon, 841 S.W.2d 844, 849 (Tex. 1992).) The sanction must be directly related to the offensive conduct. (Paradigm Oil, Inc. v. Retamco Open, Ina, 372 S.W.3d 177, 184 (Tex. 2012).) A just sanction must be directed against the abuse and toward remedying the prejudice caused to the innocent party. (American Flood Research, Inc. v. Jones, 192 S.W.3d 581, 583 (Tex. 2006).)
“Trial courts have inherent power to impose sanctions for bad faith abuse of the judicial process even when the targeted conduct is not expressly covered by a rule or statute. (Ezeoke v. Tracy, 349 S.W.3d 679, 685 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, no pet.).) “The scope of a trial court's discretion in this context is limited by the recognition that this power exists to the extent necessary to deter, alleviate, and counteract bad faith abuse of the judicial process, such as any significant interference with the traditional core functions of Texas courts.” (Id.)
A party can move for sanctions under Rule 13 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 10.002, and Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 215.
Rule 13 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure authorizes the imposition of sanctions against an attorney, a represented party, or both, who filed a pleading that is either:
(Tex. R. Civ. P. 13; see also Rudisell v. Paquette (2002) 89 S.W.3d 233, 236.)
The rule defines “groundless” as having “no basis in law or fact and not warranted by good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law.” (Tex. R. Civ. P. 13.) Sanctions may only be imposed for good cause under Rule 13, the particulars of which must be stated in the order. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 13; Rudisell, 89 S.W.3d at 237.)
A party moving for sanctions under Section 10.001 should describe the specific conduct violating Section 10.001. (Sec. 10.002). Specifically, “the movant must show that the pleading was filed for the improper purpose of harassment.” (R.M. Dudley Const. Co., Inc. v. Dawson, 258 S.W.3d 694, 710 (Tex. App.—Waco 2008, pet. denied).) The party moving for sanctions must prove the pleading party's subjective state of mind.” (Id.)
Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. provides failure to submit to an expert's examinations may result in the following sanctions:
See (Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 841.0610).
Under Rule 13, the responding party is required notice and a hearing before the imposition of sanctions. “Imposing sanctions without the requisite notice and hearing also violates the requirements of due process.” (Aldine Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Baty, 946 S.W.2d 851, 852 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1997, no writ).)
Under Sec. 10.003, “[t]he court shall provide a party who is the subject of a motion for sanctions under Section 10.002 notice of the allegations and a reasonable opportunity to respond to the allegations.” The “trial court must hold an evidentiary hearing to make the necessary factual determinations about the party's or attorney's motives and credibility.” (R.M. Dudley Const. Co, 258 S.W.3d at 709.)
A trial court's ruling on a motion for sanctions is reviewed under an abuse of discretion standard. (Cire v. Cummings (2004) 134 S.W.3d 835, 838; Downer v. Aquamarine Operators, Inc. (1985) 701 S.W.2d 238, 241.) The test for an abuse of discretion is not whether, in the opinion of the reviewing court, the facts present an appropriate case for the trial court's action, but “whether the court acted without reference to any guiding rules and principles.” (Downer v. Aquamarine Operators, Inc., 701 S.W.2d at 241.) The trial court's ruling should be reversed only if it was arbitrary or unreasonable. (Cire v. Cummings, 134 S.W.3d at 839.)
Rule 13 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure authorizes a trial court to impose sanctions against an attorney, a represented party, or both, who file a pleading that is either (1) groundless and brought in bad faith; or (2) groundless and brought for the purpose of harassment. (See Tex. R. Civ. P. 13; Robson v. Gilbreath, 267 S.W.3d 401, 405 (Tex. App.—Austin 2008, pet. denied).)
Chapter 10 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows a trial court to sanction an attorney or a party for filing motions or pleadings that lack a reasonable basis in fact or law. (Low v. Henry (2007) 221 S.W.3d 609, 615; Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 10.001-.005 (West 2002).)
Rule 13 states:
The signatures of attorneys or parties constitute a certificate by them that they have read the pleading, motion, or other paper; that to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief formed after reasonable inquiry the instrument is not groundless and brought in bad faith or groundless and brought for the purpose of harassment. Attorneys or parties who shall bring a fictitious suit as an experiment to get an opinion of the court, or who shall file any fictitious pleading in a cause for such a purpose, or shall make statements in pleading which they know to be groundless and false, for the purpose of securing a delay of the trial of the cause, shall be held guilty of a contempt. If a pleading, motion or other paper is signed in violation of this rule, the court, upon motion or upon its own initiative, after notice and hearing, shall impose an appropriate sanction available under Rule 215-2b, upon the person who signed it, a represented party, or both. Courts shall presume that pleadings, motions, and other papers are filed in good faith. No sanctions under this rule may be imposed except for good cause, the particulars of which must be stated in the sanction order. “Groundless.”for purposes of this rule means no basis in law or fact and not warranted by good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law. A general denial does not constitute a violation of this rule. The amount requested for damages does not constitute a violation of this rule.
“A court that determines that a person has signed a pleading or motion in violation of Section 10.001 may impose a sanction on the person, a party represented by the person, or both.” (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 10.004.)
Section 10.001 states:
Sec. 10.001. SIGNING OF PLEADINGS AND MOTIONS. The signing of a pleading or motion as required by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure constitutes a certificate by the signatory that to the signatory's best knowledge, information, and belief, formed after reasonable inquiry:
A court may generally impose sanctions when a party fails to comply with a proper discovery request. (See Tex. R. Civ. P. 215.2; Magnuson v. Mullen, 65 S.W.3d 815, 828 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2002, pet denied.).)
For example, pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 215.2, if a deponent does not attend a noticed or court-ordered deposition, the trial court can impose sanctions, including the ultimate sanction of dismissal or default. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 215.2(b); Petitt v. Laware, 715 S.W.2d 688, 691 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1986, writ ref'd n.r.e.).)
When determining whether Rule 13 sanctions are proper, the trial court must examine the facts available to the litigant and the circumstances existing when the litigant filed the pleading. (Parker v. Walton, 233 S.W.3d 535, 539 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2007, no pet.).)
When considering sanctions under Rule 215, a court should ensure that the punishment fits the crime. (TransAmerican Nat. Gas Corp. v. Powell, 811 S.W.2d 913, 917 (Tex. 1991).) When a court decides to sanction, the sanctions must have a direct relationship to the offensive conduct, measured by a direct nexus among the conduct, the offender, and the sanctions imposed. (Am. Flood Research, Inc. v. Jones, 192 S.W.3d 581, 583 (Tex. 2006); Spohn Hosp. v. Mayer, 104 S.W.3d 878, 882 (Tex. 2003); TransAmerican, 811 S.W.2d at 917.) A court must not impose sanctions more severe than necessary to promote full compliance with the rules. (Am. Flood, 192 S.W.3d at 583; Spohn Hosp., 104 S.W.3d at 882.)
Sanctions must be “just”, that is, the punishment should fit the crime. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 215.2 (b); Transamerican, 811 S.W.2d at 917.) A two part test is used to determine if sanctions are “just”. First, the sanction must be directly related to the offensive conduct. (Id.) Second, the sanction must not be excessive, it should be no more severe than necessary to promote full compliance. (Id.)
A death-penalty sanction is one that has the effect of adjudicating a dispute without regard to the merits. (Id. at 918.) Sanctions such as dismissal should be reserved for a party’s flagrant bad faith or repeated discovery abuses. (Id. at 919.)
Texas Courts use a four-part test to determine whether death-penalty sanctions are appropriate: (1) the sanction must be directly related to the offensive conduct; (2) the sanction must not be excessive and should be no more severe than necessary to promote full compliance; (3) the court should impose a lesser sanction first, unless egregious misconduct is present; and (4) the party’s conduct must justify the presumption that her claims lack merit. (Id. at 917-18; Cire v. Cummings, 134 S.W.3d 835, 842 (Tex. 2004).) In a case of egregious misconduct, the court is not required to use a lesser sanction before imposing death penalty sanctions as long as the record reflects the court considered lesser sanctions and the party’s conduct justifies the presumption that its claims lack merit. (Cire, 134 S.W.3d at 842.)
Rule 215.2 provides a non-inclusive list of sanctions when a party fails to comply with proper discovery requests. These include an order charging all or any portion of the expenses of discovery against the disobedient party or the attorney advising him, and an order striking out pleadings or parts thereof or dismissing with or without prejudice the action or proceedings or any part thereof, or rendering a judgment by default against the disobedient party. In lieu of any such orders, or in addition thereto, the court shall require the party failing to obey the order or the attorney advising him, or both, to pay the reasonable expenses, including attorney fees, caused by the failure, unless the court finds that the failure was substantially justified or that other circumstances make an award of expenses unjust. Such an order shall be subject to review on appeal from the final judgment. (Tex. R. Civ. P. 215.2 (b)(8).)
With respect to 10.002 motions, “a court shall describe in an order imposing a sanction under this chapter the conduct the court has determined violated Section 10.001 and explain the basis for the sanction imposed.” (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §10.005.)
In some circumstances, a trial court may take judicial notice of the case file for purposes of ruling on a sanctions motion. (R.M. Dudley Const. Co., 258 S.W.3d at 710.)
Under Section 10.002, “the court may award to a party prevailing on a motion under this section the reasonable expenses and attorney's fees incurred in presenting or opposing the motion, and if no due diligence is shown the court may award to the prevailing party all costs for inconvenience, harassment, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred or caused by the subject litigation. ” “The court may not award monetary sanctions against a represented party for a violation of Section 10.001(2).” (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §10.004(d).) “The court may not award monetary sanctions on its own initiative unless the court issues its order to show cause before a voluntary dismissal or settlement of the claims made by or against the party or the party's attorney who is to be sanctioned.” (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §10.004(e).)
Under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 215.1(d), the moving party is entitled to reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the order, including attorney fees. Specifically, Rule 215.1(d) provides that if a motion for sanctions is granted, the Court shall, “after opportunity for hearing, require a party or deponent whose conduct necessitated the motion or the party or attorney advising such conduct or both of them to pay, at such time as ordered by the court, the moving party the reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the order, including attorney fees, unless the court finds that the opposition to the motion was substantially justified or that other circumstances make an award of expenses unjust.” (Tex. R. Civ. P. 215.1(d).)
