Jack H. Meyer v. State ( 2019 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-19-00068-CR
JACK H. MEYER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law
Nacogdoches County, Texas
Trial Court No. CF1800519
Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
MEMORANDUM OPINION
After Jack H. Meyer admitted to a Nacogdoches County jury that he drove without a valid
driver’s license, the jury found him guilty of the misdemeanor offense and he was ordered to pay
a $150.00 fine. 1 He appeals.
Meyer also appeals from his convictions for (1) driving with an expired registration in
cause number 06-19-00066-CR and (2) failure to maintain financial responsibility in cause number
06-19-00067-CR. Meyer has filed a single brief in which he raises issues common to all his
appeals. He argues that the trial court lacked jurisdiction and that Texas law does not apply to him
because he is a sovereign citizen.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Meyer’s appeal in cause
number 06-19-00066-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that the trial court
had subject-matter jurisdiction and that Meyer’s sovereign citizen-related complaints are meritless.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.

Originally appealed to the Twelfth Court of Appeals, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme
Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001. We are unaware of any
conflict between precedent of the Twelfth Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX. R.
