What the court wrote
Verbatim from the court's document (public domain). Ellipses mark omitted text; nothing is paraphrased.
3d 341, 345 (Tex. App. —El Paso 2015, no pet. ); and Clements v. Haskovec, 251 S. W. 3d 79, 83 (Tex. App. —Corpus Christi–Edinburg 2008, no pet. ). Moreover, from Allen, Cane provided a purported quote that does not exist, and regarding Clements, she represented that the court of appeals reversed a trial court's protective order, when in fact, the court affirmed it. Second, and equally concerning, is Cane's citing three cases that do not appear to exist: In re J. B. G. , 540 S. W. 3d 446, 450 (Tex. App. —Houston [1st. Dist. ] 2018); Ex parte Hughes, 133 S. W.
