In Re the Honorable Brent Gamble, Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court denied Judge Brent Gamble's petition for a writ of mandamus, affirming the Fourteenth Court of Appeals' conditional writ that removed his name from the Republican primary ballot because his original application was defective and could not be amended after the filing deadline. The Court held that the candidate bears ultimate responsibility for filing a correct application and that the election code provides no authority for a party chair to accept post‑deadline amendments.
