v. Davis, No. 05-13-00819-CV, 2013 WL 4459024, at *1 n.1 (Tex. App.—Dallas
Aug. 19, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op.); Douglas v. Am. Title Co., 196 S.W.3d 876,
878 n.2 (Tex. App.––Houston [1st Dist.] 2006, no pet.).
is attempting to appeal from a trial court order dismissing his suit for failure to
obtain a pre-filing order from the local administrative judge. Tex. Civ. Prac. &
Rem. Code Ann. § 11.101(a) (West Supp. 2013). Likewise, appellant has failed
to obtain a pre-filing order before filing this appeal, despite our January 13, 2014
notice giving him ten days to obtain such an order or face dismissal. See id.
§ 11.103(a) (West Supp. 2013).
Section 11.103(a) of the civil practice and remedies code provides that “a
clerk of a court may not file a litigation, original proceeding, appeal, or other claim
presented, pro se, by a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order under
Section 11.101 unless the litigant obtains an order from the appropriate local
administrative judge . . . permitting the filing.” Id. Appellant failed to obtain a pre-
filing order from the local administrative judge before filing this appeal; he also
failed to obtain such an order after notice from this court. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal. See id.; Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c); In re Johnson, No. 03-14-
00006-CV, 2014 WL 411763, at *1 (Tex. App.––Austin Jan. 31, 2014, orig.
