  • Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed December 1, 2022.
    In The
    Fourteenth Court of Appeals
    NO. 14-22-00639-CV
    DARRELL J. HARPER, Appellant
    V.
    HARRIS COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR-COLLECTOR AND ANN HARRIS
    BENNETT, Appellees
    On Appeal from the 295th District Court
    Harris County, Texas
    Trial Court Cause No. 2021-13792
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    This is an attempted appeal from an order of dismissal. Pursuant to chapter
    11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, appellant Darrell J. Harper has
    been declared a vexatious litigant and is therefore subject to the pre-filing order
    under section 11.101. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§ 11.101, 11.103.
    Under section 11.103(a), the clerk of this court may not file an appeal
    presented by a vexatious litigant subject to a pre-filing order under section 11.101
    unless the litigant obtains an order from the local administrative judge permitting
    the filing or the appeal is from a pre-filing order entered under section 11.101
    designating the person a vexatious litigant. Id. § 11.103(a) & (d). This is not an
    appeal from a pre-filing order entered under section 11.101.
    Our record contains no indication appellant obtained permission to file this
    appeal. On November 1, 2022, we notified appellant that the appeal would be
    subject to dismissal without further notice unless appellant filed a copy of the order
    from the local administrative judge permitting the filing of this appeal. See id. §
    11.103(a). Appellant did not file a response. Because appellant has not provided
    sufficient proof that he obtained permission to file this appeal from the local
    administrative judge, we must dismiss this appeal.
    The appeal is ordered dismissed.
    PER CURIAM
    Panel Consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Wise and Hassan.
