Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-25-00460-CV NO. 03-25-00603-CV
Venky Venkatraman, Appellant
v.
Board of Law Examiners, Appellee
FROM THE 419TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-GN-24-000808, THE HONORABLE LAURIE EISERLOH, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
The above-referenced docket numbers arise from the same trial-court cause
number. In the underlying case, appellant Venky Venkatraman sought judicial review of the
appellee Board of Law Examiners’ decision denying his petition for redetermination of
the Board’s prior decision to deny him admission to the Texas State Bar. In Docket
No. 03-25-00460-CV, Venkatraman challenges the trial court’s May 29, 2025 final order
denying his petition for judicial review and affirming the Board’s redetermination order. In
Cause No. 03-25-00603-CV, Venkatraman challenges the trial court’s August 8, 2025 “First
Amended Order Dismissing Plaintiff’s June 17, 2025 Emergency Motion” dismissing
Venkatraman’s motion for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. On its own motion, the Court consolidates for the purpose of hearing and decision
the appeal in Docket No. 03-25-00460-CV with the appeal in Docket No. 03-25-00603-CV. The
appellate record is complete in Docket No. 03-25-00603-CV and the clerk’s record has been
filed in 03-25-00460-CV. Venkatraman has filed his appellant’s brief in Docket
No. 03-25-00603-CV, concerning the trial court’s dismissal for want of jurisdiction of his “First
Amended Order Dismissing Plaintiff’s June 17, 2025 Emergency Motion.”
The clerk’s record has been filed in Docket No. 03-25-00460-CV, but the
reporter’s record remains pending. All records filed to date in Docket No. 03-25-00460-CV shall
be transferred to Docket No. 03-25-00603-CV. Upon filing of the requested reporter’s record for
Docket No. 03-25-00460-CV in the consolidated Docket No. 03-25-00603-CV, the appeal will
follow a standard briefing schedule. The Court advises Venkatraman that after the pending
reporter’s record is filed in the consolidated case he need only file an appellant’s brief
challenging the trial court’s May 29, 2025 final order. The Court will consider his appellant’s
brief filed in Docket No. 03-25-00603-CV challenging the dismissal for want of jurisdiction
together with his appellant’s brief challenging the final order. The Court requests that the Board
of Law Examiners file one appellee’s brief addressing both of Venkatraman’s briefs and that
Venkatraman file one reply brief. The consolidated appeal shall proceed under Docket
No. 03-25-00603-CV, and Docket No. 03-25-00460-CV is hereby dismissed.
