Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-26-00387-CV
In re Brandy Gayle Self
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The petition for writ of mandamus is denied in part, and relator’s request for
emergency relief is dismissed as moot. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). To the extent that relator
seeks issuance of a writ of mandamus for matters not currently before us or against the Comal
County Tax Assessor-Collector and certain “mortgage holder[s],” we dismiss the petition for
want of jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(b); Gregory v. Stetson, 133 U.S. 579, 586
(1890) (“It is an elementary principle that a court cannot adjudicate directly upon a person’s right
without having him either actually or constructively before it. This principle is fundamental.”).
Additionally, we strike relator’s mandamus record, as it contains unredacted sensitive data. See
In re Popov, No. 05-24-00493-CV, No. 05-24-00494-CV, 2024 WL 2150028, at *1 (Tex.
App.—Dallas May 14, 2024, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); In re Baron, No. 04-21-00263-CV,
2021 WL 3057487, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 21, 2021, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)
(per curiam). __________________________________________ Maggie Ellis, Justice
