In Re: Howard Holland v. the State of Texas

DISMISSED and Opinion Filed August 13, 2024

S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-24-00687-CV

IN RE HOWARD HOLLAND, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 422nd Judicial District Court
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 31610-422

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Molberg, Carlyle, and Breedlove
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
Before the Court is relator’s June 7, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus in

which he seeks to compel the trial court to rule on a December 28, 2023 motion to

enter nunc pro tunc order. On July 3, 2024, we requested a response to relator’s

petition. On August 8, 2024, the trial court filed a certified copy of its July 26, 2024

order ruling on relator’s motion. The trial court’s ruling on relator’s motion delivers

all the relief relator is requesting and entitled to and thus renders this mandamus

proceeding moot. See In re Johnson, 599 S.W.3d 311, 312 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2020,

orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we dismiss as moot relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

See id.
