Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Texas, Second District, No. 02-24-00305-CV · judgment May 1, 2025
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Questions presented
-
Whether the Due Process Clause permits a State to make an administrative remedy exclusive when the designated tribunal lacks authority to grant the prospective relief sought, leaving no state court able to adjudicate the claim.
-
Whether a federal due-process objection to a state court's final foreclosure of all available remedies is timely under 28 U.S.C. § 1257 when the objection could not become complete until the state court of last resort denied rehearing.
