in Re Texas Department of Criminal Justice

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-14-00185-CV

In re Texas Department of Criminal Justice

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has filed a petition for writ of mandamus

and accompanying motion for emergency relief from the district court’s March 27, 2014 temporary

restraining order in a pending suit to compel disclosure of information under the Public Information

Act. The requestors have filed an emergency responsive brief. The order compels disclosure of

the requested information to a limited group of attorneys, with further limitations on their use or

disclosure of the information. We deny the mandamus petition and dismiss as moot the request for

emergency relief. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 552.322.
