Description
This is an appeal of an order imposing rule 13 monetary sanctions. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 13. In the case below, attorney Kevin James Keith filed suit on behalf of Matt Sanford (Father), individually and as next friend for his minor child, for damages they sustained as the result of a vehicle accident. Appellee Cynthia F. Solls was appointed guardian ad litem on behalf of the minor child. Keith filed, on behalf of Father and the minor, a motion to disqualify Solls. Solls moved for sanctions. After a hearing, the trial court granted the motion, and ordered Keith to pay Solls $3,082.63 as her attorneys fees. Keith appeals, asserting the trial court abused its discretion in: (1) ordering sanctions under Rule 13; (2) finding that Keith filed the motion to disqualify in bad faith and to harass Solls; and (3) holding that the motion to disqualify was groundless. Keith also complains (4) that the trial court erred in denying his special exceptions to Sollss sanctions motion. Solls filed a motion for damages pursuant to rule 45 of the rules of appellate procedure. Tex. R. App. P. 45. For the reasons set forth below, we overrule Keiths issues and affirm the sanctions order. We deny Sollss Rule 45 motion.
