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


Pending

Questions presented

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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
