Appellate courts are not a forum to make a new case, but instead they determine if the rulings and judgment of the court below were made correctly.
Tioga is a town in Grayson County, Texas, United States. The population was 754 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Sherman–Denison Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is the birthplace of Gene Autry; one of the main streets through the town is named in his memory. This is actually not true, and has been disproved many times. Dr. Eugene Ledbetter, the doctor that delivered Gene Autry confirmed that he was not born in Tioga. Gene Autry did spend some time growing up in Tioga, but not more than a few years.
