IN RE THE ESTATE OF VIRGINIA HUTCHINGS, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
County Court at Law
Washington County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2017-12

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On Monday, May 20, 2024, relator Randall Patterson filed a petition for writ
of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R.
App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Eric
Berg, presiding judge of the County Court at Law of Washington County, to vacate
his December 14, 2023 order and his May 7, 2024 order directing relator to deposit
estate funds into the registry of the trial court.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief. See Tex.
R. App. P. 52.3(a) (“The petition must, under appropriate headings and in the order
here indicated, contain the following. . . a complete list of all parties.”); Tex. R.
App. P. 52.7(a)(2) (“Relator must file with the petition. . . a properly authenticated
transcript of any relevant testimony from any underlying proceeding, including any
exhibits offered in evidence, or a statement that no testimony was adduced in
connection with the matter complained.”) We deny relator’s petition for a writ of
mandamus without prejudice.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Wilson.
