LOWELL MERRITT, Appellant v. ROBERT DAVIS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 296-01387-2009
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
Appellant is a pro se vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 11.102(a) (West Supp. 2015). By letter dated May 4, 2016, we instructed appellant to file, by May 16, 2016, written verification that he had obtained the required order from the local administrative judge permitting the filing of this appeal. We cautioned appellant that failure to provide the written verification within the time requested may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. At appellant's request, we extended the deadline to May 23, 2016.
As of today's date, appellant has not provided the written verification. On June 20, 2016, the Collin County District Clerk filed a letter verifying that there is no order granting appellant permission to appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 11.1035(b) (West Supp. 2015).
