Opinion

DENY and Opinion Filed September 9, 2022

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00884-CV

IN RE TERESA WARD COOPER, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-00556-2021

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Pedersen, III, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Molberg Before the Court is relator’s September 8, 2022 Petition for Writ of

Mandamus where she requests (1) a declaration that § 12.005 of the Texas Civil

Practice and Remedies Code as applied to her is unconstitutional and (2) that District

Clerk Lynne Finley and Court Reporter Robyn Rodriguez be compelled to prepare,

certify, and file their clerk’s and reporter’s records in appeal No. 05-22-00632-CV

without any fee, cost, charge, or expense against relator. Also before the Court is

relator’s September 8, 2022 Emergency Motion to Stay.

The Court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and record,

and we conclude relator has not demonstrated entitlement to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We also deny

relator’s Emergency Motion to Stay as moot.
