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.)
