IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-14-00137-CV
2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE, VIN#1G1YY36W585105455,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 66th District Court
Hill County, Texas
Trial Court No. 51,223
ORDER
The Court’s opinion issued in this case on March 10, 2016. On April 4, 2016, a
motion for rehearing was received and filed. The transmittal letter was dated March 28,
2016 which was three days after the deadline for filing a motion for rehearing.
Accordingly, on April 14, 2016, the Court dismissed the motion for rehearing because the
Court had no jurisdiction to rule on an untimely motion for rehearing.
James Tyron Riggs has now filed a document entitled “Motion for Relief from the
Judgment” which is obviously an effort to explain why the motion for rehearing was
timely or alternatively, why its late filing should be excused. However, the evidence,
including the additional evidence submitted with this motion, does not support a
conclusion that the motion for rehearing was timely filed.
Accordingly, the Court dismisses the Motion for Relief from the Judgment because
the Court has no jurisdiction to rule on it at this time. Further, the Court will not respond
to further motions or requests for relief from Riggs filed in this Court with regard to this
proceeding.
