01-26-00319-CV ——————————— IN RE PAULA M. MILLER, Relator Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus CONCURRING OPINION I write separately to note that the mandamus petition here has attributions and quotations to caselaw which strongly appear to be AI-fabricated hallucinations.

App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2000, pet. denied). 2 “Citing nonexistent case law or misrepresenting the holdings of a case is making a false statement to a court. It does not matter if [generative AI] told you so.” United States v.

What the text mentions

Pattern matches on the documents' text. Each line is a fact that the text contains the words, not a finding about the case.

Where this fits

This page is a record, not legal advice. It quotes the documents on file and lists what their text mentions. Read the decision at the source before relying on it, and check whether a later order changed it.

More from Texas Court of Appeals, 1st District (Houston), from Texas, or from 2026. The whole record is at court decisions on AI-hallucinated citations.

What a citation gate is explains the mechanism that makes that impossible by construction; how to check an AI citation in five minutes is the manual version; the sanctions record is the essay this table grew out of.
