IN RE BILLY SHANNON MCKINNEY, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 422nd Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 24008-422

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, and Evans Opinion by Justice Moseley Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that the Court compel the trial

court to rule on motions filed on March 25, 2014 and June 3, 2014. The facts and issues are

well-known to the parties so we do not recount them here. A trial court has a reasonable time

within which to consider a motion and to rule. In re Chavez, 62 S.W.3d 225, 228 (Tex. App.—

Amarillo 2001, orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not

shown he is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
