James Louis Lange, II v. Texas

James Louis Lange II asks the Supreme Court to review whether the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals violated due process by not addressing two of his grounds for relief. The case is pending, and oral argument has not been scheduled.

The petition for certiorari (the Court's decision whether to hear a case) is pending, and no oral argument is scheduled.

The case could affect people seeking review in Texas's highest criminal court when they believe that court did not address arguments in their cases. For example, a person challenging a criminal judgment could argue that due process requires an answer to each properly raised claim.

The next step is a scheduling move or a decision on whether to grant certiorari. No decision window is available yet.

Lange argues that Texas's highest criminal court violated due process by failing to address two grounds for relief. The Supreme Court has not decided whether to hear that claim.

People seeking relief in Texas criminal cases could be affected if they argue that a court failed to address claims they raised. The case concerns review by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

The Supreme Court may schedule further action or decide whether to grant certiorari. Oral argument has not been scheduled.
