Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-25-00657-CV
In re Practical Technology, Inc.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Sam Marshall has filed a pro se submission with this Court purporting to be a
petition for writ of mandamus on behalf of relator Practical Technology, Inc., complaining of the
trial court’s allegedly improper entry of default judgment in favor of the real party in interest
prior to relator’s answer deadline in the underlying suit. In litigation, only a licensed attorney
can appear and represent a corporation. Kennedy v. Kennedy, 222 S.W.3d 97, 98 n.1 (Tex.
App.—Austin 2006, no pet.); Guadalupe Econ. Services Corp. v. Dehoyos, 183 S.W.3d 712, 716
n.4 (Tex. App.—Austin 2005, no pet.). As acknowledged in his petition, Mr. Marhsall is not a
licensed attorney. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus without prejudice
to refiling by a licensed attorney.
