TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-26-00366-CV

In re AYS Engineering, LLC

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator AYS Engineering, LLC has filed a petition for writ of mandamus

complaining of the trial court’s order denying its motion to dismiss that was based on Section

150.002 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code

§ 150.002 (addressing required certificate of merit when action for damages arises out of

provision of professional services by licensed or registered professional). Relator also has filed a

motion for temporary relief and stay.

“An order granting or denying a motion for dismissal is immediately appealable

as an interlocutory order.” Id. § 150.002(f). Thus, AYS Engineering, LLC has an adequate

remedy by interlocutory appeal. 1 See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840–42 (Tex. 1992).

On this basis, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus and dismiss the motion for temporary

relief as moot. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

1 AYS Engineering, LLC also has filed a notice of interlocutory appeal from the same order that it challenges in this original proceeding. That appeal remains pending under this Court’s case number 03-26-00390-CV. __________________________________________ Karin Crump, Justice
