Justice Thomas just had to deny a petition for a writ of certiorari in this case on 3/6/2017

[Alas Babylon!]

I think the key to the document is what Justice Thomas writes in the closing paragraph:

Unfortunately, petitioner raises her due process arguments for the first time in this Court. As a result, the Texas Court of Appeals lacked the opportunity to address them in the first instance. I therefore concur in the denial of certiorari. Whether this Court’s treatment of the broad modern forfeiture practice can be justified by the narrow historical one is certainly worthy of consideration in greater detail.
