Dear Court of Appeals :
trt L.- 1- CR- I<-; - I ooo Lf o
This is my response to your letter dated September 17,2015. My justification for this appeal is
from the plain text of the statute stated below:
§ 822.0421. Determination That Dog Is Dangerous
(b) An owner, not later than the 15th day after the date the owner is notified that a dog owned by
the owner is a dangerous dog, may appeal the determination of the animal control authority to a
justice, county, or municipal court of competent jurisdiction. An owner may appeal the decision
of the justice, county, or municipal court in the sa me manner as appeal for other cases from the
justice, county, or municipal court.
As stated in my docket statement, I have a constitutional right to a fair trial. On March 19, 201 4,
an unfair administered hearing was held by Hearing Officer Brad Norton who allowed
inadmissible evidence and testimony. Thi s evidence and testimony dominated the hearing and
his ruling. The relief sought is another hearing with onl y relevant evidence and testimony.
The determination of that administrated hearing was done with inadmissible evidence and
prej udices testimony from a person that was not at the allege incident. The only issue before that
the hearing was did an allege attack occurred, but all the evident presented was from a dismissed
claim between my dog and their dog and approximate all of the testimony was on that dismi ssed
claim. The issue that was before the court onl y ca me up after their previous cla im was
1
dismissed. This was my strongest evidence against the other side that their new claim was made
up (a fairy tale). Against all of my objections and my Motion in limine, the adm ini strative offi ce
let the hearing be dominated by the di smissed claim. It is my position that this was an error of
the administrative hearing and only way to correct this error is another hearing barring the
dismissed evidence and testimony. This is the only true way that 1 can get a fair trial in this case.
This is an appeal of a final order from an administrated hearing in Austin, Texas. Therefore Tex.
Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann . § 51.014(a) and Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 19 1, 195
(Tex. 200 I) are not app licable to this case. In fact, this statute and ruling both backs the appeal
step I am currently undergoing. The administrative office issued a final order on a hearing on the
merits. The administrated hearing disposed of all parties and all claims pending in the case
which made the order final. By disposing of all of the issues before it; it made the order
appealable under Lehmann, 39 S.W.3d at 200. The administrative hearing order was appea led to
the Municipal court which affirmed the previous order. This case was then appea led to the
Travis County w hich refused to hear the case. Next this case is before you, Court of Appeals,
Third District ofTexas.
Sincerely,
Vincent Wrencher Sr, Pro se
