                                    S  In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                No. 05-22-00750-CV

            CORY HUDSON AND MELODY HUDSON, Appellees

                On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1
                            Dallas County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. CC-22-01617-A

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Goldstein
                            Opinion by Justice Schenck
      Appellant, as a vexatious litigant, must obtain a prefiling order from the local

administrative judge granting him permission to file any new litigation, including an

appeal.   See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.101, 11.102, 11.103.

Appellant obtained a prefiling order to appeal his lawsuit from justice court to county

court. He now attempts to appeal the county court’s dismissal order to this Court.

Because nothing before this Court showed appellant had secured a prefiling order

permitting the filing of this appeal, we directed appellant to file a copy of the order

granting him permission. See id. § 11.1035(b). In response, appellant filed a copy
of the prefiling order granting him permission to appeal the justice court’s judgment

to the county court.

      Because appellant has not provided this Court with a copy of an order from

the local administrative judge granting him permission to appeal the county court’s

order to this Court, we lack jurisdiction and dismiss the appeal. See id. 11.102(a),

11.103(a).
