NOTICE OF APPEAL

Eric Schachar, Petitioner herein, desires to appeal and files this notice for appeal.

Petitioner will appeal to the 15th Court of Appeals, from the final judgment rendered on

November 26, 2025 and from all orders and decisions encompassed therein, including without

limitation the Order granting Respondent’s motion to dismiss regarding: a SOAH remand for a

SOAH hearing on Respondent’s finding against Petitioner, an injunction from the Respondent’s

Central Registry listing against Petitioner, and a declaratory judgment against the

unconstitutional statutes at play against Petitioner. This appeal involves a matter brought by or

against an officer of an agency in the executive branch of the state government arising out of that

officer’s official conduct. This appeal involves a matter in which a party to the proceeding

challenges the constitutionality or validity of a state statute or rule and the attorney general is a

party to the case.

Respectfully submitted,
