My ex has lost two appeals and now has filed a Certiorari which my current lawyer does not handle. What do I need to do if anything to respond to this is the Supreme Court of Texas?

YOU, as an individual, do not have to worry about answering a Writ of Certiorari because you will never receive one. They are "inter-court" legal orders that require an 'inferior' court to submit documents to the 'superior' court which issued the "cert." The equivelant order that would be issued to an individual would be an "Order to Produce." Whatever the court wanted you to produce would be specified in the order.

No. Although all members of the current US Supreme Court have served on the US Court of Appeals, there is no requirement that they do so, let alone a specification about the number of years.
How many of the current US Supreme Court justices were federal judges?
All nine. It has become common in the past few decades to appoint potential future Supreme Court justices to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts for development and to create a record of their jurisprudence for later evaluation.Sonia Sotomayor is the only current justice with prior judicial experience on both a US Court of Appeals Circuit Court and a US District Court.
What court system generates most of the cases accepted by the US Supreme Court?
AnswerProbably the 9th circuit generates the most cases accepted by the Supreme Court. Even the liberals wonder how they come up with some of their decisions.AnswerThe federal court system generates most of the cases the US Supreme Court hears under appellate jurisdiction. Most cases are on certiorari from the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts.As the first person speculated, the Ninth Circuit provides the greatest number of appeals. There are two reasons for this: 1) The Ninth is the largest Circuit in the United States, seating two panels of justices, while the other Circuits seat only one. This means they have a larger caseload and experience intra-Circuit splits (conflicting constitutional interpretations on similar cases between the two sets of justices in the Ninth Circuit) in addition to standard Circuit splits (conflicting interpretations between different Circuits); 2) As mentioned, the Ninth Circuit's decisions are out-of-step with current US Supreme Court ideology, tending to be more liberal and unorthodox than most of the justices prefer. This results in the Supreme Court granting certiorari to correct the Ninth Circuit's constitutional interpretations so they don't become precedential.

Can a ordinary citizen bring up an issue to the supreme court justices?
Yes, but you cannot do it directly. The Supreme Court is a court of appeals and as such does not hear ordinary legal cases. Your case must have passed through all lower courts of appeals before the Supreme Court will hear it. To have your case appealed at any of these levels you will need a lawyer that handles appeals cases, this will usually cost money.As with anything in our crazy country, you "get the justice you can afford to pay for".
