RE: Texas Case
Read the promissory note, it allows collection costs of customary 30%, attorney fees, court costs, and also interest. Nothing has been changed that Peter did not agree to in the Promissory Note.If anything, Quang (the plaintiff) should be asking for more money in the judgment.
A summary judgment, by definition, is not a trial. It is rather a ruling by the Judge on the merits of the case, without trial. As you pointed out in your post....a Request for Hearing...is not a Trial. A Hearing is to the Judge only.
