What power do administrative judges have in family court cases?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 1 Texas court opinion(s), including In Re Darrell J. Harper. For clients facing harassment from a former spouse who uses the court system as a weapon, the vexatious litigant statute offers a robust defense. Once a party is labeled a vexatious litigant, they lose the absolute right to file new suits; they must instead prove to a judge that their claim has actual merit. This case confirms that appellate courts will rarely interfere with a judge’s decision to block these 'frequent filers,' providing families with much-needed finality and protection from legal harassment.
