Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Larry Joe Morgan filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s final
judgment dismissing his claims against Appellees and ordering that he take nothing on
his claims. However, Appellant is on the list of vexatious litigants subject to prefiling
orders that is compiled by the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial
System. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 11.104; see generally
http://www.txcourts.gov/judicial-data/vexatious-litigants. A clerk of a court may not
file an appeal presented, pro se, by a vexatious litigant who is subject to a prefiling order
unless the litigant obtains an order from the appropriate local administrative judge
permitting the filing. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 11.103.
On January 10, 2020, we notified Appellant that he had not provided this court
with an order from the local administrative judge permitting the filing of this appeal.
We cautioned Appellant that we would dismiss this appeal unless he provided this court
with such an order on or before January 30, 2020. In response to our notice, we
received “Appellant’s Second Motion for Appeal.” In that document, Appellant asserts
that he had objected in the trial court to the appointment of a visiting judge to hear
various motions filed by the parties, including Appellees’ motions to dismiss. He has
not, however, provided this court with an order permitting him to file this appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, 43.2(f).
