Heading: right to travel; interstate commerce

Text: 9 Appellant asserts for the first time on appeal that Rule 2-101 unconstitutionally burdens interstate commerce and restricts his right to travel. Appellant never advanced such a claim below. We will not decide the merits of this contention because it was not presented to the district court. Elrod v. United States, 503 F.2d 959 (5th Cir. 1974); Wolf v. Frank, 477 F.2d 467 (5th Cir. 1973). 10 Since appellant failed to allege facts sufficient to state a claim as required by Rule 12(b)(6), Fed.R.Civ.P., dismissal of the complaint was proper. 11 Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is AFFIRMED.
