To whom it may concern (and if it doesn't concern, we're all in a lot of trouble....) Dear News Media, I am a 90-year-old Army veteran representing myself in a civil rights lawsuit against the City of Lubbock, Hal von Luebbert v. City of Lubbock, et al., Cause No. CC-2025-CV-1103, County Court at Law No. 3, Lubbock County. No Lubbock news outlet has reported it in more than a year. The documents are public, and I invite - I implore - you to check every fact below. - On September 17, 2025, Lubbock Animal Services destroyed my dog, Max, one week after I challenged Lubbock Animal Services and Municipal Court jurisdiction and gave notice of appeal in person and in writing. The Clerk of Court threw my papers away. When I mailed them by certified mail 20 minutes later, they were ignored.- -On September 30, 2025, the Lubbock Municipal Court conceded it never had jurisdiction over the case and called the matter "moot" because the dog was dead. - My wife's signature on the surrender form was obtained with a letter falsely stating that homeowners insurance does not cover dog bites. The City's own records show the letter was prepared before she arrived. - When I sued, the County Clerk's office wrote that it had "no record" of my case and that my documents had been "forwarded to the City of Lubbock," the defendant. My case was opened only after I petitioned a higher court. - In the year since, the City has answered none of my discovery requests. The City is now asking the court to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction (that after having argued for months in the same court), and I expect to appeal to the Seventh Court of Appeals in Amarillo. I am doing this alone, on Social Security, and have spent more than $3,200 on printing and supplies alone. An appeal will cost far more. This is a story about whether an ordinary citizen can still get into court. I can provide copies of every document, including certified-mail receipts for each filing. Respectfully to all, Hal von Luebbert
