On March 17, 2010, The Court of Appeals, Fifth District of Texas at Dallas, Overruled the Dallas Central Appraisal District's Second Motion for Rehearing in Response to the Court's December 16, 2009 Opinion On Motion for Rehearing. On December 16, 2009, the Court, on its own motion, withdrew its opinion of July 15, 2009 and vacated its judgment of that date, and issued a new opinion on DCAD's Motion for Rehearing. In the December 16, 2009 opinion, The Court of Appeals affirmed an unanimous jury verdict against DCAD that reversed its denial of an ad valorem tax exemption filed by the Firm's non-profit charitable organization, a veteran's organization. The jury found the non-profit charitable organization had an "incomplete improvement" that was under "physical preparation" as defined in the Texas Tax Code. Richard Barrett-Cuetara and Byron K. Henry filed the Appellee's Response to DCAD's First Motion for Rehearing.
