In Re Quentin Goffney v. the State of Texas

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-24-00611-CV

In re Quentin Goffney

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Quentin Goffney has filed a motion for suspension of the rules that, based

on the relief requested, we construe as a petition for writ of mandamus. See Surgitek,

Bristol-Myers Corp. v. Abel, 997 S.W.2d 598, 601 (Tex. 1999) (explaining courts look to

substance of pleading rather than its caption or form to determine its nature). The petition for

writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
