Original Proceeding

JUSTICE HARRIS delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relators’ Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed in this Court on

April 4, 2024. On August 2, 2024, this appeal was abated pending resolution

of the original proceeding in No. 23-0755, In re State Farm Mutual

Automobile Insurance Company and Lindsey Nicole Dessart (“Dessart”), by

the Supreme Court of Texas. In re State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 712

S.W.3d 53 (Tex. 2025). After the Texas Supreme Court issued an opinion in

Dessart, this Court reinstated the appeal and requested a response to the

Petition. In response to the decision of the Supreme Court of Texas in

Dessart, the trial court, acting sua sponte, withdrew the order that Relators challenge in this mandamus proceeding. Therefore, this proceeding is

dismissed as moot.
