A brief statement of the nature of the suit is as follows, to wit: PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION, INJURY/DAMAGE-MOTOR VEHICLE.
At approximately 8:03 a.m. on November 1, 2023, Plaintiff and the minor child BRY.M. (“the minor child”), were traveling in a 2020 Chevrolet Traverse, southbound in the 1000 block of South White Oak Road, approaching the intersection with U.S. Highway 80 East, White Oak, Gregg County, Texas. Defendant, AMBER MARIE DENNETT, was traveling in a 2023 Honda Accord owned and/or leased by Defendant, DEREK KYLE DENNETT, eastbound on U.S. Highway 80 East, approaching a red traffic light at the intersection with South White Oak Road, in White Oak, Gregg County, Texas. As Plaintiff and the minor child were traveling through the intersection on a green light, suddenly and without warning, Defendant, AMBER MARIE DENNETT, totally disregarded the red light located at the intersection and proceeded into the path of Plaintiff’s and the minor child’s vehicle, colliding with Plaintiff’s and minor child’s vehicle and subjecting Plaintiff and the minor child to tremendous force.
Issued and given under my hand and the Seal of said court, at office in Gilmer, Texas, this the 2nd day of December A.D. 2025.
