ARTHUR SMALLEY AND WOODFOREST NATIONAL BANK, Appellees __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 284th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 17-05-06174-CV __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Alex Melvin Wade Jr. has been declared a vexatious litigant and is prohibited from filing pro se any new litigation in a court of this State without first obtaining permission from the local administrative judge. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 11.102(a), 11.103(a). Wade filed his notice of appeal pro se without first obtaining the required permission. 1 A clerk of a court may not file litigation presented, pro se, by a vexatious litigant who is subject to a prefiling order unless the litigant obtains an order from the local administrative judge permitting the filing. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code Ann. § 11.103(a). By letters dated September 17, 2019, September 25, 2019, and October 7, 2019, we notified the parties that Wade is a vexatious litigant and warned that the appeal would be dismissed unless we received an order from the local administrative judge. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 11.102(a). We have not received notice that the local administrative judge has permitted the filing of litigation by Wade. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. APPEAL DISMISSED. ______________________________ CHARLES KREGER Chief Justice Submitted on November 6, 2019 Opinion Delivered November 7, 2019 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
