In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00243-CV ——————————— IN RE FRESH START HOME SERVICES, LLC, AND ANDREW JOBE, Relators

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relators, Fresh Start Home Services, LLC, and Andrew Jobe, have filed a

petition for writ of mandamus, complaining that the trial court abused its discretion

when it (1) did not “render and reduce its oral pronouncements” on their plea in

abatement “to a written order,” (2) limited abatement of the suit under section

17.505(e) of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act to 60 days, (3) denied relators’ plea in abatement to “cure [a] party deficiency,” and (4) denied Jobe’s motion to

dismiss under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 91a.1

We deny mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We dismiss any

pending motions as moot.
