Cedric M. Scott, PhD v. General Land Office of the State of Texas

Scott v. General Land Office · Texas Court of Appeals, Fifteenth District · November 25, 2025 · No. 15-25-00217-CV

Summary

This document is an appellant’s pro se motion to strike the Texas General Land Office’s motion to dismiss an appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The appellant argues that orders issued by the trial judge are void because of alleged judicial disqualification, that the appellee remains in procedural default for failing to answer the live amended petition, and that an earlier email does not constitute a knowing waiver. The filing includes a proposed order granting the motion to strike and an electronic certificate of service.

Questions Presented

  1. Whether alleged orders entered by a disqualified trial judge are void and may support dismissal of the appeal.
  2. Whether the General Land Office's alleged failure to answer the operative second amended petition prevents it from seeking dismissal or other affirmative relief.
  3. Whether appellant's prior email stating that she did not oppose dismissal constituted a knowing and voluntary waiver.
