Ralph Jacob Aguirre v. Texas, et al.
IFP petition · Court of Appeals of Texas, Second District, No. 02-24-00509-CV · judgment July 17, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether a state court violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by entering and enforcing a judgment without first determining that it has personal jurisdiction over the defendant.
-
Whether a judgment entered in the absence of personal jurisdiction, where a properly raised jurisdictional objection was never adjudicated is constitutionally void and incapable of being cured by appellate affirmance.
-
Whether due process is denied when appellate courts dismiss preserved jurisdictional objections as “frivolous” and affirm a judgment despite an incomplete record omitting critical jurisdictional filings. PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI Page 2 of 12
