No. 05-22-00750-CV
TRACY NIXON, Appellant
V.
CORY HUDSON AND MELODY HUDSON, Appellees
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-22-01617-A
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Goldstein
Opinion by Justice Schenck
Appellant, as a vexatious litigant, must obtain a prefiling order from the local
administrative judge granting him permission to file any new litigation, including an
appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.101, 11.102, 11.103.
Appellant obtained a prefiling order to appeal his lawsuit from justice court to county
court. He now attempts to appeal the county court’s dismissal order to this Court.
Because nothing before this Court showed appellant had secured a prefiling order
permitting the filing of this appeal, we directed appellant to file a copy of the order
granting him permission. See id. § 11.1035(b). In response, appellant filed a copy
of the prefiling order granting him permission to appeal the justice court’s judgment
to the county court.
Because appellant has not provided this Court with a copy of an order from
the local administrative judge granting him permission to appeal the county court’s
order to this Court, we lack jurisdiction and dismiss the appeal. See id. 11.102(a),
11.103(a).
