IN RE S.N., Relator § Original Proceeding

§ 324th District Court of Tarrant County,

§ Texas

§ Trial Court No. 324-656801-19

§ December 22, 2025

§ Memorandum Opinion by Justice Walker

JUDGMENT

This court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and holds

that the petition should be conditionally granted. Accordingly, we conditionally grant

the writ of mandamus and direct the trial court to vacate its order denying S.N.’s

motion to dismiss, to grant her motion, and to dismiss C.C.’s claims for lack of

standing. Our October 6, 2025 order staying the trial court proceedings is vacated.

Only if the trial court fails to comply with our instruction will we issue the writ.
It is further ordered that C.C. shall pay all of the costs of this proceeding, for

which let execution issue.
