Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Texas
Attorney Had Mental Breakdown
Client mentally handicapped & unaware of attorney's mental breakdown & filing inadequate pleadings. New atty obtained, but Dallas federal court denied chance to correct pleadings---even with psychiatric letter of incompetency. 5th Cir now denied appeal --using ''boilerplate'' ,superficial language.
The federal courts are holding a mentally ill client responsible for the actions of her mentally ill attorney? Is there any way around this? She has strong case, but no way to get it heard.
