Code §§ 16.003, 16.010",Kassab,affirmative_defense,Pohl's conversion claim (2-year period) and TUTSA claim (3-year period) are time-barred because Pohl knew of the alleged misconduct in 2014 but did not file until August 2018; continuing misappropriation is a single cause of action under § 16.010(b)

163,18,Res Judicata — Same Claims in Both Actions,Kassab,affirmative_defense,Pohl's own sworn testimony (Mot. Exhibit 1) describes the same conversion and theft of client files and trade secrets at issue in this case; Pohl sued Precision in both actions for the same conduct
