Warren Lee Tune, Petitioner v. Texas Department of Public Safety, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment that the appeals court had jurisdiction over the concealed‑handgun license denial case because the licensing fee satisfied the $100 amount‑in‑controversy requirement, and that Warren Lee Tune remained "convicted" under the plain‑meaning definition in the Concealed Handgun Act, rendering him ineligible for a license. Justice Hecht filed a concurring opinion clarifying the statutory history, and Justice Abbott filed a dissent arguing that no amount in controversy existed and the appeals court lacked jurisdiction.
