In The
Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00824-CV ——————————— IN RE MARTIN RAY SOLIS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Martin Ray Solis, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in connection
with the underlying petition to modify the parent-child relationship filed by relator.1
In his mandamus petition, relator challenged the trial court’s: (1) September 12, 2025
“Dismissal Order,” dismissing of the modification proceeding for want of
1 The underlying case is In the Interest of M.S., Jr., a Child, Cause No. 2022-62410, in the 308th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Gloria E. Lopez presiding. prosecution; (2) refusal to set a hearing on a timely filed motion for reinstatement
under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 165a(3); and (3) dismissal of the modification
proceeding instead of entering a judgment in favor of relator confirming the trial
court’s rendition. Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus requested that the Court
“grant his petition for writ of mandamus and direct the [trial] court to vacate its order
dismissing the case.”
In connection with his petition for writ of mandamus, relator also filed a
“Motion for Temporary Relief” and requested that the Court grant temporary relief
and issue temporary orders to “impos[e] the relief previously rendered by the trial
court” in its July 21, 2025 rendition. The Court granted relator’s motion for
temporary relief and requested a response to the petition for writ of mandamus.
On November 3, 2025, relator filed a “Motion to Dismiss Mandamus
Proceedings as Moot.” In his motion, relator stated that all issues presented in his
petition for writ of mandamus had “been resolved” and the relief requested in his
petition was “now moot.” Relator therefore requested that this mandamus
proceeding be dismissed.
The motion includes a certificate of conference stating that relator attempted
to confer with real party in interest, Ashley Neese, but that she did not respond to
relator’s attempts to confer to state whether she was opposed to dismissal of the
original proceeding. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5). However, more than ten days
2 have passed and no party has responded to the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P.
10.3(a)(2).
We therefore lift our October 14, 2025 order, grant relator’s motion, and
dismiss this mandamus proceeding. All other pending motions are dismissed as
moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Guiney, and Johnson.
