IN RE M.Z., Relator § Original Proceeding

§ Trial Court No. 233-748343-24
§ May 2, 2025
§ Memorandum Opinion by Justice Dana Womack
JUDGMENT
This court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and holds
that the petition should be conditionally granted. We lift the March 20, 2025
temporary emergency stay that we granted and order the trial court to follow all of the
procedures outlined in Section 152.206(b) of the Texas Family Code and
communicate promptly with the Illinois court. Unless the Illinois court declines
jurisdiction according to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement
Act, the trial court must dismiss the child-custody part of this case. It is further ordered that Real Party in Interest A.K. shall pay all of the costs of
this proceeding, for which let execution issue.
