Jack H. Meyer v. State

Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-19-00067-CR

JACK H. MEYER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law Nacogdoches County, Texas Trial Court No. CF1800518

Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION After Jack H. Meyer admitted to a Nacogdoches County jury that he drove without insurance, the jury found him guilty of failure to maintain financial responsibility. 1 Meyer was ordered to pay a $200.00 fine. He appeals.

Meyer also appeals from his convictions for (1) driving with an expired registration in cause number 06-19-00066-CR and (2) driving without a valid license in cause number 06-19- 00068-CR. Meyer has filed a single brief in which he raises issues common to all his appeals. He argues that the trial court lacked jurisdiction and that Texas law does not apply to him because he is a sovereign citizen.

We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Meyer’s appeal in cause number 06-19-00066-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that the trial court had subject-matter jurisdiction and that Meyer’s sovereign citizen-related complaints are meritless.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
