IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS

IN RE: §

SHANDI TULLOS, § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

RELATOR §

MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator Shandi Ray Tullos filed this original proceeding contending that Respondent
abused his discretion by modifying temporary custody of her minor child, S.R.T., having
removed the requirement that Real Party in Interest Martin Shoel Brashear’s periods of
possession be supervised until he could produce a negative drug test. 1 On September 30, 2022,
this Court conditionally granted the petition and directed Respondent to (1) vacate his order
removing the requirements that Brashear’s possession of S.R.T. be supervised by Brashear’s
mother and that Brashear pass a drug test, and (2) enter an order reinstating these requirements.
By an order to vacate filed with this Court on October 24 and revised temporary orders signed on
October 26, Respondent complied with this Court’s opinion and order, rendering this proceeding
moot. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Opinion delivered October 31, 2022.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.

Respondent is the Honorable John E. Wells, III, Judge of the 411th District Court in Trinity County,
