Motion to Compel, filed June 10, 2025.1 While the Petition for Writ of Mandamus
was pending, Relators filed a motion to dismiss advising that the trial court issued
1 The underlying case is Karen Crosby, Individually and on Behalf of the Estate of Keenan Raglin v. Larry Owen and FW Services, Inc., cause number 2021-26725, pending in the 152nd District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Hon. TaKasha L. Francis presiding. a ruling on their Motion to Compel, rendering their request for mandamus relief
moot.
Because the trial court has issued a ruling on Relators’ Motion to Compel,
Relators have received the relief sought and their request for mandamus relief is
moot. See In re Salverson, No. 01-12-00384-CV, 2013 WL 557264, at *1-2 (Tex.
App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 14, 2013, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (dismissing
petition for writ of mandamus as moot where “there [was] no longer a justiciable
controversy between the parties that would be resolved by the petition for
mandamus relief”); In re Jackson, No. 01-12-00020-CV, 2012 WL 405707, at *1
(Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 9, 2012, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)
(dismissing petition for writ of mandamus as moot because relator “received the
relief requested in his mandamus petition”).
We thus grant Relators’ motion and dismiss their Petition for Writ of
Mandamus for lack of jurisdiction. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
