1 The underlying case is In the Interest of __, Minor Child, cause number 7219*RH99, pending in the 300th District Court of Brazoria County, Texas, the Honorable Patrick Bulanek presiding. a response asserting that the petition should be denied because the issues within the

petition are untimely and unripe and because the Attorney General has failed to

exhaust all remedies. Real party in interest also agrees that the petition is moot

because the Attorney General issued a notice of release of denial of vehicle

registration and attached a copy of this notice.

Because both parties agree that the issues in this proceeding are moot and the

petition should be dismissed, the Court grants the motion. We dismiss the petition.

All pending motions are dismissed as moot.

Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Goodman, and Countiss.
