Cases from the First and Fourteenth Court of Appeals Keys v. Litton Loan Servicing LP (Tex.App.- Houston [14th Dist.] Nov. 24, 2009)(Sullivan) (property foreclosure dispute, attorney's fees remanded) In this longstanding property-foreclosure dispute, Patrick William Keys, pro se, appeals the final judgment in favor of Litton Loan Servicing, L.P., the loan servicer for an adjustable rate note on real property owned by Keys. We affirm the trial court in all respects with the limited exception of its granting of Litton’s “Motion for Summary Judgment as to Attorneys’ Fees.” Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings limited to the award of those attorneys’ fees.
