Texas Appeals in Filing Fee Case — 11 Comments

  1. The filing in district court seems to suggest that the act of appeal by a state agency automatically supersedes a TRO?

    I was unable to find any record of appeal to the 1st or 14th Court of Appeals (the two are coincident, and you file with the 1st, and it is assigned randomly to one or the other) and then to a panel of justices. Each court has 9 justices.

  2. Erm, Texas has numerous appellate courts. (The correct answer is the First Court of Appeals.)

    And, did Kenny Boy Paxton write the appeal? Most of the briefs and filings by the SoS in this look like they came straight from his desk.

  3. Per Jim Riley, yeah, I forgot the 14th as well as the 1st is involved down there.

  4. How many current election laws in Texas carried over from 1836-1845 Independent/Sovereign Nation-State Texas regime ???

    — or mostly mere copies of old AR or LA or earlier other ex-slave State regimes ???

  5. None, Demo Rep.

    First, there was this intervening thing called the Civil War.

    Second, Texas wrote itself a brand spanking new constitution after Reconstruction.

  6. SocG –

    difference between olde State Consts and olde mere election laws [ and olde other laws – criminal, civil, state govt, local govts, etc. ]

    Note — Civil WAR I NOT declared over in Texas until 1866 Prez Proc — USA Army liberates western Texas, raises USA Flag at USA Courthouse, re-installs USA Marshal and USA District court judge — with all sorts of loyalty test oaths to USA Const and laws.

  7. JR

    How soon before southern States have a majority of the USA population ??? —

    folks escaping northern RED Donkey communism and frozen ground — leaving only *for sale* signs behind ???

    Pressure to buy/steal Mexico, Cuba, etc. ???

    What State has had the most SCOTUS ballot access cases in SCOTUS [with ops] ??? —

  8. Demo Rep, when climate change makes more of the Sunbelt uninhabitable or washed away …
