JAMES LEGGETT, Appellant v. THE BRIXTON D/B/A THE BRIXTON APARTMENTS, Appellee
On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 4 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1153613
ORDER
This is an attempted appeal from a judgment signed September 15, 2020. Pursuant to chapter 11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, James Leggett was declared a vexatious litigant on September 25, 2015 and is therefore subject to the pre-filing order under section 11.101. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 11.101, 11.103.
Appellant was the defendant in the trial court, but he asserted counterclaims and is appealing from the denial of those counterclaims. Under section 11.103(a), the clerk of this court may not file an appeal presented by a vexatious litigant subject to a pre-filing order under section 11.101 unless the litigant obtains an order from the local administrative judge permitting the filing, or the appeal is from a pre-filing order entered under section 11.101 designating a person a vexatious litigant. Id. § 11.103(a), (d). This is not an appeal from a pre-filing order entered under section 11.101.
This court will consider dismissal of this appeal unless appellant files, by November 20, 2020, a copy of the order from the local administrative judge permitting the filing of this appeal. See id. § 11.103(a).
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Wise, and Hassan
