ARGUMENT AND A~I'l'Y: Petition~ THOMAS argues,challenged the juagment of the 259TH District Court of

Jones County,Texas,dismissing his suit for damages against appellees,seventeen(l7 Prison employees; the finding that the petitioner a vexatious litigant was not pos ssiale under Tex.Civ.Prac., Rem.CODE.ANN.§ll.054,because of the lawsuits listed, Four of the Five fed~al proceedings indicated that they were related at least in Part to petitions for habeas corpus proceedings filed Q'y the petitiener,petitioner Argues on appeal that a habeas corpus proceeding ees not qualify as a 11 litigation 51 . Under the vexatious ' litigant statute. In its September 12,2012,the . att0mey gene ral filed a notice to inform the trial court that the trial court had previously

found the petition~ to be a vexatious litigant in anoth~ case N0.022100,the stat ed that the trial court had ordered the petitioner to obtain permission frem the

local administrative judge before the petitioner could filed any additionalk pro-se

litigation in state court and that the petitioner had failed to do so_prior to fili

ng his petition in this case.As such,the attorney general requested that the court,

Immediately stay the litigation and requested that the court dismiss the suit unless within (lO)Ten days of the notice,petitioner obtained an order frem the local Admini strative judge granting him permission to file suit.

l6(PFR] ' . (i) VIII. ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITY: on September 14,2012, the trial CC1)urt signed an order in which it found that petition er had not Qbtained permission to file suit from a local administrative judge within Ten(lO)days from the date the attorney general filed its notice that petitioner was A vexatious litigant.The court ordered petitioner's case be dismissed with prejudice

On that same day,the court also signed an order staying the proceedings. on September 30,2012,the court signed an order withdrawing the orders that the court had signed on September 14,and the court signed another order staying all proceeding on October 11,2012_,the court again found that the petitioner had nC1)t obtained permis sion from a local administrative judge,and it dismissed the petitioner's case with p rejudice.Petitioner,argues,however that the trial court's orders in this matter are Problematic,(l)Pirst the trial court's September l2,2012,in the other case the :MARCH 31,2010,orders was net preceded by a motion filed by the (TDCJ)requesting that the trial court determdne whether THOMAS was a vexatious litigant and whether security f or ceurt costs was necessary, instead, the trial ceurt implicitly concluded that the Petitioner was a vexatious litigant sua sponte.Several Texas courts have held that a trial court may not conclude that a plaintiff is a vexatious litigant when the defeo dant fail to timely a motion under section 11.051 of the civil practice and remedies Code. 6t

6)Petitiooer's reliance on SCOTT v.Tex.Dep't of Crim.Justice-Institutional Div.2008, Tex.App.LEXIS 894l(Tex.App.-corpus Christi Nov.20,2008) (holding where the proper pro cedures for inveking Tex.Civ.Prac., Rem.CODE.ch.ll,were not foilowed);Spiller v.Spil ler,21 s.w.3d 451 at 454(Tex.App.~San Antonio 2000,no pet)(holding that a motion fil ed outside the ninety-days period- was untimely):In reMarriage of Grossnickle,ll5 s.

ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITY: Second,the records does not establish that the trial court conducted a hearing to determine whether THOMAS was truly a vexatious litigant.The September 12,2012 ORDER served to put petitioner on notice that the trial court had conclUded that He was a vexatious litigant and that he was not required to provide security for the benefit of the TDCJ,but was ordered to file an prefiling order,obtain permis 7 ssion from the local administrative judge in order to proceed with his -suit. /,

However,no hearing was conducted pursuant to 'l'ex.civ.Prac., Rem.CODE•fll.053(a). Third,the trial court,in concluding that T~ was a vexatious litigant,relied heavily on the 259'1'8 District Court •s findings that petitioner was a vexatie>us litigant in cause number 022100,also,TDCJ ,fail to timely file a motion to determ ine whether THOMAS was truly a vexatious litigant,,howev~,the TDCJ has not demon strata that the underlying facts in cause number 022100 are substantially similar or arose out of the same occurrence or transaction as the present matter,in fact,

as he noted in his handwrtten list of previously-filed lawsuit,THOMAS alleged that in cause number 022100,various TDCJ officer,officials had falsely charged him with

a disciplinary case and he suffered emotional and physical injury due to the heigh

tened security restrictions he faced as a result of the punishment imposed in the

disciplinary proceedings,Maliciously prosecuted him without PProbable causeP, Therefore,because the present case and did not involved an inmate's lost or damage

Property claim,cause number 022100 do not involve substantially similar facts or oc Currence.

ALLEN GLENN THOMAS, Appellant v. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE OFFICER MARCUS A. ADAMS ET AL., Appellees

On Appeal from the 259th District Court Jones County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 022853

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Allen Glenn Thomas, is currently incarcerated at the French M. Robertson Unit of the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which is located in Jones County. Appearing prose, he challenges the trial court's order dismissing his suit. We affirm. On August 31, 2012, Appellant filed the underlying action against seventeen defendants, all of whom were officers or officials employed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) at the French M. Robertson Unit. Appellant alleged claims of inverse condemnation and conversion under Texas law and alleged that, while he was an inmate, his property was lost or damaged as those claims are provided for under federal law. He also alleged that he was physically injured during a "shakedown" because he was forced to carry all of his belongings to another location even though he was under a medical "no lifting restriction." On behalf of the seventeen defendants, the attorney general filed a notice on September 12, 2012, to inform the trial court that the trial court had previously found Appellant to be a vexatious litigant. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 11.054 (West Supp. 2014). The attorney general stated that the trial court had ordered Appellant to obtain permission from the local administrative judge before Appellant filed any additional pro se litigation in state court and that Appellant had failed to do so prior to filing his petition in this case. See former CIV. PRAC. & REM.§ 11.101 (2011) (current version at CIV. PRAC. & REM.§ 11.101 (West Supp. 2014)). As such, the attorney general requested that the court immediately stay the litigation and requested that the court dismiss the suit unless, within ten days of the notice, Appellant obtained an order from the local administrative judge granting him permission to file suit. See former CIV. PRAC. & REM.§ 11.103(b) (1997) (current version at CIV. PRAC. & REM.§ 11.1035 (West Supp. 2014)). On September 14, 2012, the trial court signed an order in which it found that ~ppellant had not obtained permission to file suit from a local administrative judge within ten days from the date the attorney general filed its notice that Appellant was a vexatious litigant. The court ordered Appellant's case to be dismissed with prejudice. On that same day, the court also signed an order staying the proceedings. On September 30, 2012, the court signed an order withdrawing the orders that the court had signed on September 14, and the court signed another order staying all proceedings. On October 11, 2012, the court again found that

2 Appellant had not obtained permission from a local administrative judge, and it dismissed Appellant's case with prejudice. On appeal, Appellant presents eight issues for our review. In his first issue, he asserts that Chapter 11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code is unconstitutional as applied because it violates his right to access the courts, to due process, to due course of law, and to equal protection under the Texas and United States Constitutions. Appellant contends in his second issue that the court order in which the trial court required Appellant to pay $7,500 in security was an arbitrary condition that prevented him access to the courts. He argues in his third issue that the trial court erred when it declared Appellant to be a vexatious litigant and dismissed Appellant's property claims. In his fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh issues, Appellant raises the questions of whether he stated claims of inverse condemnation, malicious prosecution, a due process violation regarding his liberty interest in his expectancy to an early release from prison based on the accumulation of his good-time credits in prison disciplinary cases, and an Eighth Amendment violation for deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs restrictions. Appellant argues in his eighth and final issue that Appellees waived their "immunity defense under vested property rights and administrative authority in violation of [the] Texas Tort Claims Act" when prison officials kept him classified as a "class line III" in~ate 'so that he could not accrue good conduct time. We will first address Appellant's challenge to the constitutionality of Chapter 11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Under Chapter 11, a trial court may place limitations on the litigation activities of a person determined by the court to be a "vexatious litigant." See CIV. PRAC. & REM. § 11.054, § 11.055 (West 2002), § 11.101. Appellant argues that the statutes improperly deny him equal protection, due process, a remedy by due course of law, and access

3 to the courts. The Austin Court of Appeals has upheld the constitutionality of Chapter 11 under the open courts provision, the equal protection clause, and the right to due process. Leonard v. Abbott, 171 S.W.3d 451, 456-58 (Tex. App.- Austin 2005, pet. denied). We agree with the Austin court's analysis and holding. However, Appellant does not cite to, and we cannot find, any page in the appellate record iri which Appellant raised his challenge to the constitutionality of Chapter 11 in the trial court. Therefore, Appellant has not preserved this issue for our review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 33.1; see, e.g., Drum v. Calhoun, 299 S.W.3d 360, 369-70 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2009, pet. denied) (holding defendant waived challenge to constitutionality of vexatious litigant statutes). Appellant's first issue is overruled. In his second tssue, Appellant challenges the trial court's entry of the vexatious litigant order requiring him to furnish security in the amount of $7,500. We can find no such order in this case in which the trial court ordered Appellant to furnish security. Appellant's second issue is without merit and is overruled. Appellant argues in his third issue that the trial court abused its discretion when it dismissed his property claims and declared him to be a vexatious litigant. We note that the trial court did not declare Appellant to be a vexatious litigant in this case. The court had previously declared Appellant to be a vexatious litigant and had entered a prefiling order in which it prohibited Appellant from filing future litigation without the permission of the local administrative judge. See former CIV. PRAC. & REM. § ll.lOl(a). Appellant failed to comply with the trial court's prefiling order, and as a result, the trial court dismissed Appellant's case. 1 Former Section 11.103 required the trial court to stay Appellant's litigation when it was notified by Appellees that Appellant was subject to a prefiling order under 1 We note that the legislature has now prohibited appeals from such dismissals. See C!v. PRAC. & REM. § 11.1 035(c) (West Supp. 20 14) ("An order dismissing litigation that was mistakenly filed by a clerk may not be appealed.").

t. ~ .. ·' ·,. ,, Section 11.101. !d. § 11.1 03(b ). The statute further provided that the trial court "shall dismiss the litigation unless the plaintiff, not later than the 1Oth day after the date the notice is filed, obtains an order from the local administrative judge under Section 11.102 permitting the filing of the litigation." !d. After reviewing the record, we have not found, nor does Appellant argue that he secured, a letter from the local administrative judge granting Appellant permissi'on to file his suit against the prison officials. Appellant claims that he filed a motion on Sep_tember 20, 2012, in which he sought permission from the local administrative judge. Appellant further claims th~t the clerk withheld the filing of his motion until September 27, 2012, and that the local administrative judge refused to rule on his motion. Appellant also contends that the local administrative judge is the same judge that was presiding over his case and ultimately dismissed his case. In addition, Appellant contends that he did not get notice that the trial court withdrew its original orders staying the case and dismissing the case. However, Appellant does not explain how this lack of notice affected his ability to secure permission to file his case from the local administrative judge. Appellant's contention that the local administrative judge in Jones County is the same judge that was presiding over his case is correct. See TEX. Gov'T CODE ANN. § 74.091 (West 2013) ("In a cou·nty with only one district judge, [such as Jones County,] the district judge serves as the local administrative district judge."). And, while Appellant claimed that he already knew that he could not obtain permission from the local administrative judge because the local judge was the same judge who "conspired with TDCJ," he did not seek recusal of the local administrative judge, nor did he request review of his motion by a different administrative judge. Based on the structure of his motion and the fact that Appellant claimed he could not obtain the permission necessary to file his suit, it

5 appears that Appellant was actually requesting mandamus relief from this court regarding permission to file his suit instead of seeking permission from the administrative judge. Thus, it does not appear from the record that Appellant actually sought permission from the local administrative judge. We note that Appellant did not pursue mandamus relief in this court regarding his contention that the local administrative judge refused to rule on his motion. Furthermore, Appellant did not complain below that the local administrative judge refused to rule, nor did he subsequently request a ruling. We cannot conclude from our review of the record that the local administrative judge refused to rule on Appellant's motion seeking permission to file suit, if in fact the motion sought such permission from the local judge. Moreover, even if the local administrative judge had denied Appellant's request for permission, Appellant could not seek review of the judge's denial by direct appeal. See former CIV. PRAC. & REM. § 11.1 02( c) (20 11) (current version at CIV. PRAC. & REM. § 11.1 02(f) (West Supp. 2014)) ("A decision·of a local administrative judge denying a litigant permission to file a litigation ... is not grounds for appeal, except that the litigant may apply for a writ of mandamus with the court of appeals."). We can, however, conclude from the record that Appellant did not obtain permission from the local administrative judge to file his suit as required under the vexatious litigant statutes. Therefore; because Appellant failed to obtain permission as required, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it dismissed Appellant's suit. Appellant also claims that the trial court erred when it dismissed his claims with prejudice. However, Appellant did not raise this issue in the trial court and, thus, has waived error for appellate review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 33.1; Leonard, 171 S.W.3d at 461 (holding defendant waived argument that his suit should not have been dismissed with prejudice when he failed to timely file a

6 postjudgment motion to correct the judgment). We overrule Appellant's third Issue. Because we have held that the trial court did not err when it dismissed Appellant's case for Appellant's failure to comply with the prefiling order, we need not consider Appellant's remaining issues as to whether he stated various claims or whether the prison officials waived governmental immunity. See TEX. R. APP.P. 47.1. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Therefore, in accordance with this court's opinion, we reverse the trial court's order of March 31, 2010, that declared Allen Glenn Thomas to be a vexatious litigant. We affirm the trial court's April 9, 2012 final judgment dismissing Allen Glenn Thomas's claims. "

WHEREFORE WE COMMAND YOU To observe the order of our said Court of

Appeals for the Eleventh District of Texas, in this behalf, and in all things to have it duly

recognized, obeyed and executed.

WITNESS, the HON. JIM R. WRIGHT, Chief Justice of our said Court, with the seal thereof annexed at the City of Eastland, on December 12, 2014.
