O P I N I=20 O N

This is a=20 restricted appeal from a no-answer default judgment.  = Appellees, Lois=20 Rose, John Rose, Jr., and John Rose, III (Athe=20 Roses@), sued=20 appellant, Marcus Dunte Whitaker (AWhitaker@), for=20 damages resulting from a car accident.  Whitaker raises three = issues=20 on appeal.  We affirm in part and reverse and remand in=20 part.

Factual=20 and Procedural Background

On=20 February 20, 2003, Lois Rose (ALois@) drove=20 her car with her son, John Rose, III (AJohn,=20 III@), as a=20 passenger.  As she entered an intersection, her car was = struck by=20 Marcus Dunte Whitaker=3Ds=20 vehicle.  Whitaker=3Ds vehicle=20 hit the Roses=3D = vehicle=20 on the driver=3Ds side=20 after running a stop sign.  Later that evening, Lois and = John, III=20 experienced pain and needed medical attention.  The next day, = Lois=3Ds husband,=20 John Rose, Jr. (AJohn,=20 Jr.@) took his=20 wife and son to a family clinic where they were examined.  = The doctor=20 prescribed physical therapy and pain medication for both Lois and = John,=20 III.  Lois was unable to drive and did not return to work for = 30=20 days.  John, Jr. sought and received time off from work for=20 approximately two and a half weeks in order to take care of his = wife and=20 son at home. 

The Roses=20 filed their original petition against Whitaker on November 20, = 2003. =20 Whitaker was properly served but failed to answer.  The Roses = moved=20 for default judgment, and the trial court granted their = motion.  The=20 trial court set a date to hear evidence of damages, but instead, = it=20 entered the default judgment based upon documentary evidence = supplied by=20 the Roses: Lois=3Ds=20 affidavit and supporting documents, including her lost wages = report and=20 medical records for herself and John, III; and John, = Jr.=3Ds=20 affidavit and supporting documents, including his lost wages = report. =20 The trial court entered the default judgment in the precise = amounts=20 requested by the Roses in their affidavits.  Whitaker did not = file=20 any post-judgment motions, but he did file a restricted appeal one = day=20 prior to the six-month filing deadline. 

Discussion

In his=20 restricted appeal, Whitaker alleges three grounds for setting = aside the=20 default judgment and granting a new trial:  (1) no=20 reporter=3Ds record=20 was made at the default judgment hearing; (2) appellees failed to = prove=20 their damages; and (3) the judgment fails to distinguish between=20 reversible and non-reversible damages.  =

I.           = ;        =20 Standard of Review

A=20 restricted appeal constitutes a direct attack on a default = judgment. =20 Tex. R. App. P. = 30; Gen.=20 Elec. Co. v. Falcon Ridge Apartments Joint Venture, 811 S.W.2d = 942,=20 943 (Tex. 1991).   A restricted appeal must (1) = be=20 brought within six months after the trial court signs the = judgment, (2) by=20 a party to the suit, (3) who did not participate in the actual = trial, and=20 (4) the error complained of must be apparent from the face of the=20 record.  See Tex. R.=20 App. P. 30; Norman Commc=3Dns v. = Tex. Eastman=20 Co., 955 S.W.2d 269, 270 (Tex. 1997).  Both parties agree = Whitaker has met the first three elements.  Therefore, this = appeal=20 considers whether the issues raised by Whitaker are apparent on = the face=20 of the record.  The face of the record includes all papers on = file in=20 the appeal.  Norman Commc=3Dns, = 955 S.W.2d at=20 270.  Because a restricted appeal affords an appellant the = same scope=20 of review as an ordinary appeal, the legal and factual sufficiency = of the=20 evidence to support the judgment may be challenged.

When=20 a no-answer default judgment is entered, the non-answering party = is deemed=20 to have admitted all facts properly pleaded.  Morgan v.=20 Compugrapic Corp., 675 S.W.2d 729, 732 (Tex. 1984); Jackson = v.=20 Guitierrez, 77 S.W.3d 898, 901 (Tex. App.CHouston = [14th Dist.]=20 2002, no pet.).  However, this presumption does not apply to=20 unliquidated damages.  Tex. Commerce Bank, N.A. v. = New, 3=20 S.W.3d 515, 516 (Tex. 1999); Novosad v. Cunningham, 38 = S.W.3d 767,=20 773 (Tex. App.CHouston = [14th Dist.]=20 2001, no pet.).  A plaintiff alleging unliquidated damages = must=20 present competent evidence that is consistent with the cause of = action=20 pled.  Tex. R. Civ. = P.=20 243; Holt Atherton Indus., Inc. v. Heine, 835 S.W.2d = 80, 83=20 (Tex. 1992). 

II.           = ;     =20 No Reporter=3Ds=20 Record

In=20 his first issue, Whitaker contends he is entitled to a new trial = because=20 the Roses failed to ensure a reporter=3Ds record = was produced=20 from a default judgment hearing.  Whitaker argues a = reporter=3Ds record = is required=20 for a no-answer default judgment, as it is required for a = post-answer=20 default judgment.  This contention is incorrect. 

One=20 area where no-answer and post-answer default judgments differ = greatly is=20 what is considered admitted because of the default.  In a = post-answer=20 default judgment, the defendant has filed an answer with the trial = court,=20 and the defendant does not abandon that answer or confess any = issues=20 because the defendant fails to pursue the remainder of the = trial. =20 See Stoner v. Thompson, 578 S.W.2d 679, 682 (Tex. 1979); = In re=20 K.B.A., 145 S.W.3d 685, 690  (Tex. App.CFort Worth = 2004, no=20 pet.). The plaintiff must offer evidence and prove the entire = case,=20 including liability and damages.  See Stoner, 578 = S.W.2d at=20 682; Armstrong v. Benevides, 180 S.W.3d 359, 362 (Tex. = App.CDallas = 2005, no=20 pet.).  Thus, the lack of a reporter=3Ds record = in a=20 post-answer default judgment requires reversal.  Carstar=20 Collision, Inc. v. Mercury Finance Co., 23 S.W.3d 368, 370 = (Tex.=20 App.CHouston=20 [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. denied).  Such is not the case in a = no-answer=20 default judgment. 

In=20 a no-answer default context, judgment can be entered on the = pleadings=20 alone, and all facts properly pled are deemed admitted. =20 Morgan, 675 S.W.2d at 732.  While plaintiffs = must=20 produce evidence of damages before a trial court may order a = default=20 judgment, those damages need not be presented with = testimony.  A=20 trial court may award damages in a no-answer default judgment case = based=20 on affidavits.  Tex. Commerce Bank, 3 S.W.3d at 517; = Naficy=20 v. Braker, 642 S.W.2d 282, 285 (Tex. App.CHouston = [14th Dist.]=20 1982, writ ref=3Dd=20 n.r.e.).  For liquidated damages, a trial court can render a = default=20 judgment if it can verify the damages by referring to the = allegations in=20 the petition and the written instruments.  Tex. R. Civ. P. 241; = BLS=20 Limousine Servs, Inc. v. Buslease, Inc., 680 S.W.2d 543, 547 = (Tex.=20 App.CDallas=20 1984, writ ref=3Dd=20 n.r.e.).  For unliquidated damages, however, the trial court = must=20 hear evidence as to damages, but affidavits will satisfy the = evidence=20 requirement of Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 243.  See = Tex. R. Civ. P. 243; = Tex.=20 Commerce Bank, 3 S.W.3d at 516B17.  = Because the=20 Roses provided the trial court with affidavits in support of their = damages, the lack of a reporter=3Ds record = in an appeal=20 from a no-answer default judgment does not constitute error on the = face of=20 the record.  We overrule Whitaker=3Ds first = issue. =20

Damages=20 Awards

In=20 Whitaker=3Ds=20 second issue, he attacks several aspects of the Roses=3D damage = award. =20 He first contends the Roses did not prove liability[1] = and=20 causation.  He next contends the evidence of the Roses=3D damages = is legally=20 and factually insufficient. In his third issue, Whitaker asserts = he is=20 entitled to a new trial because the judgment of the trial court = fails to=20 distinguish between reversible and non-reversible damages.

A.=20      Evidence of Damages

The legal=20 and factual sufficiency of the evidence to support an award of=20 unliquidated damages may be challenged on appeal from a no-answer = default=20 judgment.  Argyle Mech., Inc. v. Unigus Steel, Inc., = 156=20 S.W.3d 685, 687 (Tex. App.CDallas=20 2005, no pet.).  Where a specific attack is made upon the = sufficiency=20 of the evidence to support the trial court=3Ds=20 determination of damages in a default judgment, the appellate = court must=20 review the evidence produced.  Dawson v. Briggs, 107 = S.W.3d=20 736, 751 (Tex. App.CHouston=20 [1st Dist.] 2003, no pet.). 

We will=20 sustain a legal sufficiency or Ano=20 evidence@ = challenge=20 if the record shows one of the following: (1) a complete absence = of a=20 vital fact; (2) rules of law or evidence bar the court from giving = weight=20 to the only evidence offered to prove a vital fact; (3) the = evidence=20 offered to prove a vital fact is no more than a scintilla; or (4) = the=20 evidence establishes conclusively the opposite of the vital = fact. =20 City of Keller v. Wilson, 168 S.W.3d 802, 810 (Tex. = 2005).  We=20 consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict = and=20 indulge every reasonable inference that supports it.  = Id. at=20 821B22. =20 The evidence is legally sufficient if it would enable reasonable = and=20 fair-minded people to reach the verdict under review.  = Id. at=20 827.  We credit favorable evidence if reasonable jurors = could, and=20 disregard contrary evidence unless reasonable jurors could = not. =20 See id.   In reviewing a factual sufficiency = challenge,=20 we examine all the evidence.  Castanon v. Monsevais, = 703=20 S.W.2d 295, 297 (Tex. App.CSan=20 Antonio 1985, no writ).  We will reverse only if the finding = is=20 against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence. =20 Id.

In the=20 Roses=3D = petition,=20 Lois sought to recover the following damages:

(1)    =20 reasonable and necessary medical care  in the past, =

(2) =    =20 reasonable and necessary medical care in the future,

(3) =     past=20 physical pain and suffering,

(4) =     future=20 physical pain and suffering,

(5) =     past=20 physical impairment,

(6) =    =20 physical impairment which, in all reasonable probability, will be = suffered=20 in the future,

(7) =     past=20 lost earnings,

(8) =     lost=20 earnings which, in all reasonable probability, will be suffered in = the=20 future,

(9) =     past=20 loss of consortium,

(10)    = past loss=20 of household services,

(11)    = past mental=20 anguish, and

(12)=20    future mental anguish. 

Except for=20 items (7) - (10) above, John, III asserted the same elements of = damages as=20 Lois.  John, Jr. sought only to recover the following=20 damages:

(1) past lost = earnings,=20

(2) past loss of = consortium,=20

(3) reasonable and = necessary=20 medical care in the past, and

(4) reasonable and = necessary=20 medical care in the future.

Though=20 properly served with process, Whitaker did not answer the=20 Roses=3D = suit.  The Roses moved for default judgment, and the trial = court=20 granted their motion.  The trial court did not hold an = evidentiary=20 hearing regarding unliquidated damages, but instead, it rendered = the=20 default judgment based upon documentary evidence supplied by the=20 Roses.  In Lois=3Ds=20 affidavit, she testified that she had suffered the following = alleged=20 damages: (1) past medical expenses totaling $2,994.65, (2) pain = and=20 suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress in the amount of = $6,000,=20 and (3) lost wages in the amount of $2,653.84.  Even though = the total=20 of these amounts exceeds $11,000, Lois also testified in her = affidavit as=20 follows: AMy total=20 damages when combined with inconvenience is $9,000.@ =20

Lois also=20 testified in her affidavit as to the following alleged damages for = John,=20 III: (1) past medical expenses totaling $2,043.65 and (2) John,=20 III=3Ds pain and=20 suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress in the amount of = $4,000.  Lois further testified that John, III Awas=20 inconvenienced because he was unable to carry on the usual and = normal=20 activities of a 14 year old student.@ =20 Even though the total of the damages for John, III mentioned by = Lois is=20 $6,043.65, Lois stated in her affidavit that A[John,=20 III=3Ds] total=20 damages when combined with inconvenience is $6,500.@

In his=20 affidavit, John, Jr. stated that he suffered lost wages of = $1,429.60 and=20 that his Atotal=20 damages when combined with inconvenience is $4,500.@

The trial=20 court rendered the default judgment in the precise amounts of = Atotal=20 damages@ =20 requested by Lois and John, Jr. in their affidavitsC$9,000 for=20 Lois, $6,500 for John, III, and $4,500 for John, Jr.  The = trial court=20 did not specify the elements of damages upon which it based these = awards,=20 and the record does not provide any means for determining the = elements of=20 damages upon which the trial court relied.  The affidavits = provide no=20 basis for distinguishing the elements of damages awarded by the = trial=20 court because, as noted above, the Atotal=20 damages@ = requested=20 by each of the Roses does not equal the sum of the amounts = requested for=20 specific elements of damages in the affidavits.[2] =20 Therefore, neither the trial court=3Ds=20 judgment, nor the affidavits of Lois and John, Jr. provide any = means of=20 distinguishing the amounts awarded by the trial court for specific = elements of damages.         = Whitaker=20 also contends the Roses=3D = evidence=20 of medical expenses does not comply with the affidavit requirement = of=20 section 18.001 of the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code, and = in the=20 absence of comporting affidavits, they are required to use expert=20 testimony to prove their medical expenses were reasonable and=20 necessary.  Whitaker is correct.  A claim for past = medical=20 expenses must be supported by evidence that such expenses were = reasonable=20 and necessary as a result of the injury.  See Texarkana=20 Mem=3Dl Hosp.,=20 Inc. v. Murdock, 946=20 S.W.2d 836, 840 (Tex. 1997).  A default judgment does not = relieve a=20 plaintiff of this burden.  Jackson, 77 S.W.3d at=20 902B03. =20 A plaintiff can prove reasonableness and necessity of past medical = expenses through (1) expert testimony on the issues of = reasonableness and=20 necessity or (2) an affidavit prepared and filed in compliance = with=20 section 18.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies = Code. =20 Texarkana Mem=3Dl Hosp.,=20 Inc., 946=20 S.W.2d at 840.  Because the Roses only offered documentary = evidence,=20 they must meet the requirements of section 18.001.  Section = 18.001=20 provides:

(b) Unless a = controverting=20 affidavit is filed as provided by this section, an affidavit that = the=20 amount a person charged for a service was reasonable at the time = and place=20 that the service was provided and that the service was necessary = is=20 sufficient evidence to support a finding of fact by judge or jury = that the=20 amount charged was reasonable or that the service was = necessary. =20

(c) The affidavit = must: (1)=20 be taken before an officer with authority to administer oaths; (2) = be made=20 by: (A) the person who provided the service; or (B) the person in = charge=20 of records showing the service provided and charge made; and (3) = include=20 an itemized statement of the service and the charge.

Tex.=20 Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. = ' = 18.001(b)B(c)=20 (Vernon 1997). 

The=20 documentary evidence accompanying Lois=3Ds=20 affidavit includes medical records, doctors=3D = reports,=20 pain assessment reports, and an itemized statement of services = rendered=20 and charges incurred.  The doctors=3D = reports=20 consist of one report from an osteopathic physician and a second = report=20 from a radiologist.

This=20 evidence does not satisfy the requirements set forth by section = 18.001=20 because neither of these reports are affidavits.  An = affidavit is a=20 statement of facts sworn to as the truth before an officer = authorized to=20 administer oaths.  See Tex. Gov=3Dt=20 Code Ann. = ' = 312.011(1) (Vernon 2005).  These doctors=3D = reports=20 are statements of facts about the medical care provided to Lois = and John=20 III, but they were not under oath, and therefore, they do not = satisfy the=20 affidavit requirement of section 18.001.  See, e.g., = Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. = Code=20 Ann. ' = 18.002(a)B(b)=20 (Vernon 1997) (example forms of affidavits for doctor or custodian = of=20 records evidencing the basic requirements of section = 18.001). =20 Accordingly, we find that there is legally insufficient evidence = to=20 support an award for reasonable and necessary medical care in the = past as=20 to Lois and John, III. 

Likewise,=20 there is no evidence of the following elements of damage for which = Lois=20 and John, III sought recovery:

(1) =    =20 reasonable and necessary medical care in the future,

(2) =     past=20 physical impairment,

(3) =    =20 physical impairment which, in all reasonable probability, will be = suffered=20 in the future,

(4) =     past=20 mental anguish, and

(5) =     future=20 mental anguish. 

Furthermore,=20 there is no evidence as to the following elements of damage for = which Lois=20 sought recovery:

(1) =     lost=20 earnings which, in all reasonable probability, will be suffered in = the=20 future,

(2) =     past=20 loss of consortium, and

(3) =     past=20 loss of household services. 

In=20 addition, there is no evidence as to the following elements of = damage for=20 which John, Jr. sought recovery:

(1) =     past=20 loss of consortium,

(2) =    =20 reasonable and necessary medical care in the past, and

(3)=20     reasonable and necessary medical care in the=20 future. 

B.     =20 Separability of Damages

In his=20 third issue, Whitaker asserts he is entitled to a new trial = because the=20 judgment fails to distinguish between reversible and = non-reversible=20 damages.  In support of his argument, Whitaker cites Rule = 44.1(b) of=20 the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and this court=3Ds decision=20 in Jackson v. Gutierrez, 77 S.W.3d 898, 903B04 (Tex.=20 App.CHouston=20 [14th Dist.] 2002, no pet.).    =20

In=20 Jackson, this court held that if a default judgment makes a = single=20 damage award based on more than one damage element and if there is = no=20 evidence to support the award as to one of the elements upon which = the=20 award is based, then this court must reverse and remand as to the = entire=20 award, even though one of the other elements might be sufficient = to=20 support the award.[3] =20 See id. (citing Tex. R.=20 App. P. 44.1(b)).  In Jackson, the trial = court=20 awarded a single amount for mental anguish and pain and = suffering. =20 Id.  On appeal, the evidence of mental anguish was = held=20 legally insufficient, and the record did not provide Aany=20 means@ = of=20 distinguishing the amount awarded for mental anguish from that = awarded for=20 pain and suffering.  Id.  Therefore, the = Jackson=20 court concluded that Aeven if=20 an award for pain and suffering was supported by the = evidence, the=20 precise amount of damages could not be determined.  We = therefore must=20 also reverse the pain and suffering award.@ =  Id.

In the=20 instant case, as in Jackson, there is no evidence of at = least one=20 possible damage element as to each of the three lump-sum = awards. =20 Further, because the trial court did not specify the damage = elements it=20 was awarding in its judgment, and the record does not provide any = means=20 for distinguishing the amounts awarded for each element of damage, = we=20 cannot determine whether the trial court awarded damages based on = the=20 elements as to which there is no evidence.  Therefore, this = court=20 must reverse all of the damage awards and remand the claims for a = new=20 trial on unliquidated damages.  See id.; see also = Holt=20 Atherton, 835 S.W.2d at 86 (holding that when appellate court = sustains=20 no evidence point after an uncontested hearing on unliquidated = damages=20 following no answer default judgment, appropriate disposition is = to remand=20 for trial on issue of unliquidated damages).  Because there = is no=20 evidence of the Roses=3D = damages,=20 we do not reach the issue of causal nexus.  See = Morgan, 675=20 S.W.2d at 732 (AThe causal=20 nexus between the event sued upon and the plaintiff=3Ds injuries=20 must be shown by competent evidence.@). =20 Accordingly, we sustain appellant=3Ds third=20 issue and reverse all of the damage awards and remand the claims = for a new=20 trial on unliquidated damages and causal nexus. 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

We affirm=20 the trial court=3Ds judgment=20 as to liability.  We reverse all of the damage awards and = remand for=20 a new trial on the issue of damages.

Judgment=20 rendered and Opinion filed February 6, 2007.

Panel=20 consists of Justices Anderson, Edelman, and Frost. =


[1]  Whitaker may not challenge = liability here=20 because, in a default context, the causal nexus between the = conduct of the=20 defendant and the event sued upon is admitted by default. =20 Morgan v. Compugraphic Corp., 675 S.W.2d 729, 732 = (Tex.=20 1984).  However, the causal nexus between the event sued upon = and the=20 plaintiff=3Ds alleged injuries is not admitted by = default, and=20 Aproof of this causal nexus is necessary = to=20 ascertain the amount of damages to which the plaintiff is=20 entitled.@  Id.

[2]  For example, Lois=3Ds affidavit alleges she suffered damages = in the=20 following amounts: $2,994.65 in medical expenses; $2,653.84 in = lost wages;=20 and $6,000.00 in pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional = distress.  Therefore, the sum of the amounts requested by = Lois for=20 specific elements of damages is $11,648.49.  However, in her=20 affidavit, Lois also alleges that her Atotal damages when combined with = inconvenience is=20 $9,000.00."  The discrepancy between these amounts, coupled = with the=20 fact that the trial court awarded a lump sum of $9,000.00 to Lois, = makes=20 it impossible for us to determine, based upon evidence in the = affidavits,=20 the amount awarded by the trial court for any single element of=20 damages.  

[3]  Our holding in Jackson is = based on=20 the same principles applied by the Texas Supreme Court in Crown = Life=20 Ins. Co. v. Casteel, 22 S.W.3d 378, 388 (Tex. 2000) (holding = the trial=20 court erred in submitting a jury charge which mixed valid and = invalid=20 theories of liability in a single broad-form submission, and that = such=20 error was harmful because it prevented the appellate court from=20 determining whether the jury based its verdict on an invalid = theory of=20 liability). =
