IN RE TARGA CHANNELVIEW, LLC, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 80th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2018-90859

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 26, 2020, relator Targa Channelview, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Larry Weiman, presiding judge of the 80th District Court of Harris County, to vacate his August 21, 2020 order overruling Targa’s objection to trial by videoconference and denying relator’s opposed motion for continuance of the trial. Relator’s requests for relief are not ripe for our review. See Mayhew v. Town of Sunnyvale, 964 S.W.2d 922, 924 (Tex. 1998) (“Ripeness is an element of subject matter jurisdiction.”) Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Spain, Hassan, and Poissant.
