TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-26-00348-CV
In re the State of Texas for the Protection of Hazel Lopez
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On April 14, 2026, the State filed a petition for writs of mandamus and
prohibition and an emergency motion for temporary relief. This Court granted the motion for
temporary relief, temporarily stayed all proceedings pending further order of the Court, and
ordered real party in interest to file a response. Real party in interest and respondent have
filed responses.
Having reviewed the petition, the responses, and the mandamus record, we
conclude that the State has not established that it is entitled to the relief that it requests. Thus, we
lift the temporary stay and deny the petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition. See Tex. R.
App. P. 52.8(a). __________________________________________ Chari L. Kelly, Justice
