Did the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeal's decision grossly depart from Texas law or create a substantial conflict with federal court decisions in applying Obergefell v. Hodges such that Supreme Court intervention is necessary?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Did the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision so grossly depart from the accepted and usual course of Texas law, or sanctioned such a departure by the probate court, that it requires the U.S. Supreme Court to exercise its supervisory power? 2. Is there a substantial conflict between Texas lower courts and federal court decisions in applying Obergefell v. Hodges such that certiorari is necessary to correct this error? 3. Does the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision affect an important federal question and create a substantial conflict with relevant decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court and Texas State courts’ decisions such that certiorari is necessary to correct this error?
