    Concluding that nonmovant's verified denial did not raise an issue of fact to defeat summary judgment

    A claim is liquidated if the amount of damages may be accurately calculated by the trial court from the factual, as opposed to the conclusory, allegations in plaintiff's petition and the instrument in writing. See, e.g., Novosad v. Cunningham, 38 S.W.3d 767, 773 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2001, no pet.) (suit to recover amount due for professional services was a liquidated claim proven by written invoices attached to original petition); Mantis v. Resz, 5 S.W.3d 388, 392 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1999, pet. denied), overruled on other grounds, Sheldon v. Emergency Med. Consultants, 43 S.W.3d 701 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2001, no pet.) (in a suit on a sworn account, the petition with an attached sworn account and verified affidavit of the account was a liquidated claim proved by written instruments); Harris, N.A. v. Obregon, No. 05–10–01349–CV, 2013 WL 3524153, at *4–5 (Tex.App.-Dallas July 11, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op.) (damages for suit on a sworn account claim were liquidated because pleading provided requisite factual allegations to prove plaintiff's claim). The liquidated damages claimed by appellee were established as a matter of law. SeeTex.R. Civ. P. 93(10), 185.
