| ***Clerk's Notice of delivery: (see NEF for details) Docket No:13. mailed to at Risha Bermudez on 440 Spruce Street Baird, TX 79504 Wed Nov 19 16:46:30 CST 2025 (crt) |
| Filing 12 RESPONSE filed by Josh Goble re: #11 Order. (mms) |
|
Filing 11
ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORITY. Because Goble is, by his own admission, not representing Bermudez as a licensed attorney, Dkt. No. 1-2 at 2, his role as her constitutional advisor is legally indefensible. Bermudez's filings, to the extent they reflect Goble's statements, affidavits, or signatures, will not be considered by the Court for any purpose. The Court therefore ORDERS Josh Goble to file a statement demonstrating that he has legal authority to act on Bermudez's behalf by November 21, 2025. The Court also considers it appropriate to refer this matter to the Texas Supreme Court's Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee. The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this Order, along with a copy of the redacted Motion to Proceed IFP (Dkt. No. 3), to the following recipients for whatever action the Committee deems appropriate. **Clerk's Note: Redacted Motion to Proceed IFP, Dkt. No. #3 , mailed under cover of this Order to the officials listed. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge John R. Parker on 11/12/2025) (amg)

Filing 10
ORDER TO REMOVE FILING FROM DOCKET. The recently filed Notice and Demand, Dkt. No. #8 , appears to be drafted entirely by Goble and has not been signed by Bermudez. Because Goble lacks standing as a party or a license to represent Bermudez, this filing is irrelevant to the ongoing proceedings. The Clerk is therefore directed to remove the Notice and Demand for Immediate Correction of Jurisdictional Basis from the record. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge John R. Parker on 11/12/2025) (amg) Modified on 11/18/2025: per instruction of JRP chambers, docs entered at 8 are to be unfiled, not removed (amg).

After reviewing the sealed filings, the undersigned Orders that the Complaint, Motion to Proceed IFP, and Motion for TRO be unsealed. The Clerk is directed to redact the portions of these filings containing the names and identifying information of the minor children. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge John R. Parker on 11/12/2025) (amg)
