IN RE: Robert Edward Battaile, Appellant/Relator
v
Texas Elections Division; Hon. Jane Nelson; Texas Secretary of State et al.
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant/Relator Robert Edward Battaile, proceeding pro se, files this courtesy notice
solely to advise the Court of a related federal action recently filed and now pending.
On December 29, 2025, Robert Battaile, Bobby Ray Reese and the Austin Bocce League
filed a RICO civil action in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Texas, Austin Division, styled:
Robert Edward Battaile, Bobby Ray Reese and Austin Bocce League v State of Texas,
Travis County, City of Manor et al.
Civil Action No. 1:25CV02149RP in the Western District Austin Court.
The federal action arises from the same core factual circumstances previously presented to this Court, including allegations concerning election interference, denial of ballot
access, retaliatory law-enforcement action, civil rights violations, obstruction of judicial
process, and coordinated misconduct by municipal and county officials. The federal case
asserts claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, RICO, and related federal and state law theories,
and seeks emergency and structural relief, including a temporary restraining order
affecting the challenged election.
This notice is provided for informational purposes only, to advise the Court of parallel
federal proceedings addressing substantially overlapping facts and issues. No action,
ruling, or relief is requested by virtue of this filing.
Respectfully submitted,
