Summary Judgment Upheld Against Loud Neighbor

March 19, 2014

Thomas Ellis owned a unit in The Renaissance on Turtle Creek.  He sued the condominium association after it had fined him numerous times for playing loud music and harassing his upstairs neighbors.  The condominium counterclaimed to recover the $13,405 dollars he owed and to foreclose on the continuing assessment lien it held on Ellis’ unit.  The trial court granted the condominium’s summary judgment motion, and the Court of Appeals upheld this decision on appeal because “no fact issue was raised by Ellis’s arguments in his summary judgment response.”
