Williams v. Hillhouse
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:25-cv-00088 Jay Williams, Plaintiff, v. Botie Hillhouse, Defendant.
ORDER Plaintiff Jay Williams, an inmate of the Henderson County Jail, filed pro se this civil lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas without paying the filing fee.

the refiling of the lawsuit, through licensed counsel, with payment of the full filing fee. Any pending motions are denied as moot. So ordered by the court on August 1, 2025.
