Texas Supreme Court

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

August 24, 200023 S.W.3d 358

Summary

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