TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-19-00826-CV

Troy Thoele, Appellant

v.

Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, Appellee

FROM THE 345TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-18-007628, THE HONORABLE DUSTIN M. HOWELL, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER

PER CURIAM

Appellant Troy Thoele has filed a notice of appeal. Appellant, however, has been

designated a vexatious litigant.

A vexatious litigant must comply with the procedures set forth in Chapter 11 of

the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code as a prerequisite to filing “new litigation,” including

obtaining permission from the appropriate local administrative judge to file an appeal. See Tex.

Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 11.102 (generally prohibiting vexatious litigant from filing “new

litigation” without permission from local administrative judge), .103 (generally prohibiting clerk

of court from filing “litigation, original proceeding, appeal, or other claim presented, pro se, by a

vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order under Section 11.101 unless the litigant obtains an

order from the appropriate local administrative judge described by Section 11.102(a) permitting

the filing”); Johnson v. Hughey, No. 06-12-00079-CV, 2012 Tex. App. LEXIS 8406, at *4–5
(Tex. App.—Texarkana Oct. 5, 2012, no pet.) (mem. op.). The appropriate local administrative

judge with respect to the filing of this appeal is:

The Honorable Tim Sulak
353rd District Court
Travis County Courthouse
P. O. Box 1748
Austin, Texas 78767.

Accordingly, this appeal is immediately stayed. This Court orders appellant

within thirty days of the date of this order to demonstrate to this Court that he has obtained

permission from the local administrative judge to file this appeal. If he fails to comply with this

order within 30 days of the date of this order, this Court will dismiss the appeal for want of

jurisdiction.

It is ordered on January 10, 2020.

Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Baker and Triana
