Johnson v. Lynaugh

SUMMERS, Chief Justice.

Appellant, R. Wayne Johnson, appeals the order dismissing his suit against appel-lee, James Lynaugh, upon the trial court’s determination that the action was frivolous. We affirm.

Johnson, an inmate, sued Lynaugh, Director of the Texas Department of Corrections (hereinafter TDC), for violations of his rights guaranteed by Tex. Const, art. I, §§ 3, 3a, 6, 13, and 19. Johnson also contended that three TDC disciplinary rules were unconstitutionally void for vagueness. Johnson filed this pro se action in forma pauperis (hereinafter IFP) pursuant to Tex.R.Civ.P. 145.
