Madeleine Connor appealed an order from the 201st District Court of Travis County, which declared her a vexatious litigant under Chapter 11 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. The trial court found that Connor had previously been declared a vexatious litigant by a federal court in a case based on substantially similar facts and that her nonsuit with prejudice in the present Rule 202 petition confirmed no reasonable probability of her prevailing. Connor argued that Chapter 11 does not apply to Rule 202 proceedings, that the trial court lost jurisdiction after her nonsuit, and challenged the constitutionality of Chapter 11. The Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, at Austin, affirmed the trial court's decision, finding sufficient evidence to support the vexatious litigant declaration and rejecting Connor's jurisdictional and constitutional arguments.
