Comerica asserts defendant in promissory note case 'evading service', judge grants order to substitute LAWSUITS By John Suayan | Sep 18, 2018
HOUSTON – Recent state district court records indicate that one of the three defendants in a breach of contract lawsuit brought by Dallas-based Comerica Bank has yet to be served.
Marek E. Menger is alleged to be “evading service” while his co-defendants, ex-wife Sherry L. Menger and Petro-Valve, Inc., have formally countered Comerica’s allegations from two months ago.
In the suit filed on July 11 in the Harris County 157th District Court, the financial institution accuses the Mengers and Petro-Valve of defaulting on a nearly 20-year-old promissory note.
According to the original petition, the respondents owe an “outstanding and unpaid” principal balance due under the subject note of $95,475.61 in addition to accrued interest of $2,280.12 and attorneys’ fees and cost of collection.
Interest purportedly continues to grow at the default rate of 8.9 percent per annum.
