With the changing of the calendar year, the Texas Supreme Court has turned over the odometer on its docket numbering. Beginning Monday, each new petition is assigned a number beginning “11-“.
The first petition of the year is Chea v. Poon, No. 11-0001 (DDB), an appeal out of Houston’s 14th Court challenging a no-evidence summary judgment.
The petition was just filed yesterday, but it doesn’t have far to go to surpass last year’s first petition (see docket), which went from filed to denied the next day.
