Tom RETZLAFF, Appellant v. Philip R. KLEIN, Klein Investigations & Consulting, and James W. Landess, Appellees
From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014-CI-17145
Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Irene Rios, Justice
On May 5, 2017, we issued an order informing appellant, a vexatious litigant, that this appeal would be dismissed unless he filed in this court an order from the appropriate local administrative judge granting him permission to bring this appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.102(a), 11.103(a) (West 2017). On May 12, 2017, the trial court clerk filed a supplemental record containing an amended order signed by the local administrative judge that grants appellant permission to bring this appeal. Therefore, this appeal is RETAINED on the court's docket.
On May 10, 2017, appellees filed in this court a motion to reconsider the trial court's order granting appellant permission to bring this appeal. Chapter 11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which governs vexatious litigants in Texas, does not authorize the filing of such a motion in this court. See id. § 11.102. Therefore, appellees' motion to reconsider is DENIED. It is so ORDERED on May 19, 2017.
Appellees also filed a motion to reconsider in the trial court, which was denied by the local administrative judge.
