In Re Michael Paul Young, II v. the State of Texas

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00244-CV

In re Michael Paul Young, II

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM BELL COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of unspecified

temporary “rulings and orders” entered by the trial court on April 4, 2025. However, after

relator filed his petition, on April 11, 2025, the trial court entered its final order of termination.

Because the final order supersedes the unspecified temporary “rulings and orders” for which

relator seeks mandamus relief, his petition is now moot, and the proper vehicle for relator to

challenge any errors committed in the proceedings below is a standard appeal. Because relator’s

complaints about the unspecified temporary “rulings and orders” are now moot, we dismiss his

petition for writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
