In the Fifteenth Court of Appeals CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk

State of Texas 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,

/s/ Robert Edward Battaile Robert Edward Battaile Appellant/Relator, Pro Se 502 E. Eggleston St., Unit B Manor, Texas 78653 robert@manortx.us
