Case 3:25-cv-00483-JAG Document 41-8 Filed 08/04/25 Page 6 of 33 PagelD# 554 Cause No. 202448085 11) The Judgment is not considered a "consumer debt" as defined by the 15 U.S. Code § 1692, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). 12) This Order specifically serves as the Court order required by 47 USC Sec. 551, and satisfies all obligations of the responding party to obtain or receive a court order prior to disclosing material containing personally identifiable information of the subscriber and/or customer. 13) The disclosure of information pursuant to this Order is not a violation of PUC Substantive Rule 25.272. This Order satisfies the law, regulation, or legal process exception to the Proprietary Customer Information Safeguards found in PUC Substantive Rule 25.272 (g)(1). THEREFORE, the Court ORDERS the relief as set out below: 14) The Court assumes jurisdiction over and takes possession of Debtor's non-exempt property (collectively, the "Receivership assets"). Debtor is enjoined from selling non-exempt property, and must report to Receiver all sales and transfers of exempt property, within 5 days. The Receivership owns all non-exempt assets of all Debtors, regardless of whether Receiver takes actual possession. This includes accounts in financial institutions and banks. 15) Appointment. After considering the propriety of receivers whom the Court has appointed in other cases and the plaintiff's recommendations, the Court appoints Robert W. Berleth as Receiver over each Debtor's non-exempt assets, under TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 31.002, to serve as Receiver after taking the oath of office. 16) No Bond. No bond is required of the Receiver. After taking the oath of office, the Receiver shall be authorized, subject to the control of this Court, to do any and all acts necessary to the proper and lawful conduct of said Receivership.

By first class mail to Debtor and every person who has filed a request for notice; 50) Objection to Abandonment or Sale. Objections to the proposed abandonment or sale must state the grounds and be filed within five days after Receiver's service of the notice. a. If no objection is timely filed, Receiver may abandon the property as described in the notice, without further order. b. If an objection is timely filed, the proposed abandonment or sale must not be completed until the Court has decided the objection. 51) Retention of counsel. Receiver may employ counsel, at not more than $300.00 per hour, for representation and assistance in the prosecution of this order. 52) Ancillary Litigations. Receiver does not have to defend or prosecute any litigation regarding the Debtor, but may intervene in any litigation for any party to this litigation. 53) Receivers Fees. The Receiver's fees and expenses are considered costs of court. Competent and experienced receivers are rare and the time and effort required by a receiver to keep time, apply for fees and the lag between filing for fees and being paid and that the fees earned would be at an ordinary rate. Not being paid at the time of or shortly after rendering of services would inhibit the recruitment of experienced receivers. Given the chances of no recovery, contingent fees are the most economical fee schedule. The costs of proving an hourly fee could easily exceed the original judgment. A contingency fee is the only way that plaintiff can afford a receiver. Debtor has not tried to pay the judgment. The costs of proving an hourly fee are prohibitive. Therefore, the Receiver is entitled to a fee equal to 25% of all sales of assets that come into his actual, constructive, or legal possession, and all recoveries and credits against the Certified Document Number: 120719480 - Page 18 of 31 judgment.

Applicant is owed a judgment amount of $1,572,500, with attorney's fees of $177,126.19, plus sanctions of $3,895.00 and $6,842.50 plus court costs with post-judgment interest accruing at the rate of 12% per annum. As of 02/18/2025 $2,111,086.01 remains owed and due from the Debtors to the Plaintiff, and subject to the Receiver's actions. The Court FINDS that: 5) Judgment Creditors own unsatisfied final judgments against Judgment Debtors. 6) Upon evidence admitted to this court, during the hearing for appointment of Receiver the court finds the requirements for chapter 31 turnover have been met. The court takes judicial notice of the evidence and testimony presented during the appointment hearing. 7) Judgment Creditors have good faith reasons to believe that Debtor owns non- exempt rights to present or future property that cannot be readily attached or levied on by ordinary legal process as required by the standard set forth in TannerẾSuch property includes, but is not limited to, real property, tangible and intangible assets, other property, professional corporations which have accounts receivable, bank accounts that are easily moved and constantly changing in balance, and community property held jointly. The appointment of a Receiver to locate, marshal, and administer assets is justified because the Court believes that non-exempt assets exist which Judgment Creditors are justified in believing Debtor willhide. 8) A Receiver is necessary to carry out this Court's prior orders, and that the Receivership is necessary not to harass, but to serve justice.

Applicant is owed a judgment amount of $1,572,500, with attorney's fees of $177,126.19, plus sanctions of $3,895.00 and $6,842.50 plus court costs with post-judgment interest accruing at the rate of 12% per annum. As of 02/18/2025 $2,111,086.01 remains owed and due from the Debtors to the Plaintiff, and subject to the Receiver's actions. The Court FINDS that: 5) Judgment Creditors own unsatisfied final judgments against Judgment Debtors. 6) Upon evidence admitted to this court, during the hearing for appointment of Receiver the court finds the requirements for chapter 31 turnover have been met. The court takes judicial notice of the evidence and testimony presented during the appointment hearing. 7) Judgment Creditors have good faith reasons to believe that Debtor owns non- exempt rights to present or future property that cannot be readily attached or levied on by ordinary legal process as required by the standard set forth in TannerẾSuch property includes, but is not limited to, real property, tangible and intangible assets, other property, professional corporations which have accounts receivable, bank accounts that are easily moved and constantly changing in balance, and community property held jointly. The appointment of a Receiver to locate, marshal, and administer assets is justified because the Court believes that non-exempt assets exist which Judgment Creditors are justified in believing Debtor willhide. 8) A Receiver is necessary to carry out this Court's prior orders, and that the Receivership is necessary not to harass, but to serve justice. A Receiver is necessary in this Certified Document Number: 120719480 - Page 3 of 31 case pursuant to the Texas Turnover Statute, TEX. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 31.002 and the Texas ≥ Tanner v.
