CompFox AI Summary
Relator Roger L. Keeling sought mandamus relief challenging a trial court's June 14, 2006 order that assessed court costs from a 1992 conviction and directed withdrawals from his inmate trust account. Keeling argued he was denied procedural due process, as no notice or opportunity to be heard was provided before his funds were garnished. The Tenth Court of Appeals, aligning with Abdullah v. State, found that the trial court failed to follow proper garnishment or turnover procedures. Consequently, the appellate court ruled the supplemental order void due to the lack of due process. Mandamus relief was conditionally granted, ordering the trial court to vacate its order and return the removed funds to Keeling's account.
