IN RE FELICIA N. JONES, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
295th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2023-04309
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 12, 2023, Felicia N. Jones, a vexatious litigant, filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex.
R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator challenges the May 5, 2023 order signed by
the Honorable Latosha Lewis Payne, local administrative judge for Harris County,
denying relator leave to maintain the underlying lawsuit. However, Judge Payne
gave relator permission to seek mandamus review of that ruling.
Relator has not shown that she is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly,
we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Zimmerer and Poissant.
