Unreported / Non-Citable
Background
Hans Dane Christian Truelson, proceeding without counsel, filed an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Texas First Court of Appeals. He asked the court to order the trial-court clerk to remove a protective order entered at the request of his wife, Briana Camille Truelson.
The protective-order proceeding arose in the 280th District Court of Harris County. Truelson contended that he had not been personally served with the citation, notice of the application for a protective order, temporary protective order, and show-cause order associated with his wife’s application.
The Court’s Holding
The court concluded that Truelson had failed to establish that he was entitled to habeas relief. It denied his petition, citing Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.5(a), 52.3(l)(B), and 52.7(a), but did not provide further analysis connecting those rules to specific shortcomings in his filing.
The court also dismissed all pending motions as moot. The memorandum opinion was issued per curiam by a panel consisting of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Morgan.
Key Takeaways
- The court denied Truelson’s request for habeas relief from a protective order.
- Truelson alleged that he had not been personally served with documents connected to the protective-order application.
- The brief memorandum opinion did not elaborate on why the cited appellate rules defeated Truelson’s request.
Why It Matters
The decision shows that alleging lack of personal service did not, on the presentation before the court, establish Truelson’s entitlement to habeas relief. Because the court offered only a summary conclusion and rule citations, the opinion provides limited guidance about how those rules applied to his petition.
