TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Re: Cause No. 2012-20396; 1620 Hawthorne Ltd. vs. Montrose Management District; In the 333rd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (the “Lawsuit”)

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the status of the lawsuit that remains pending between 1620 Hawthorne Ltd. and the Montrose Management District Board of Directors.

In response to your inquiry, please be advised that:

The Lawsuit remains pending and is not yet resolved.
On November 28, 2016, the trial court signed an order in the Lawsuit (the “Judgment”).
On December 30, 2016, that Judgment was set aside by the trial court, while not dismissing the case.
Any ruling by the trial court remains subject to an appeal to the Fourteenth Texas Court of Appeals – the court that earlier reversed a previous ruling by the trial court. Unless and until the trial court issues a final judgment that orders a refund of any assessments, which will not occur until after all additional activities in the trial court have taken place, and after any appeal has been concluded, the District will have no obligation to refund any assessments collected.

Thank you for your interest in the District.
