in Re William Blatty, Jr. and Brooke Humphries
Opinion
Opinion issued September 4, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
For The
First District of Texas
order denying relators’ request for leave to file an amended answer.1 On August 1, 2014, the trial court filed a letter in this Court containing its August 1, 2014 order vacating its May 12, 2014 order and granting relators leave to amend their answer, which appears to have rendered this petition moot.
On August 7, 2014, the Clerk of this Court issued a Notice that this Court might dismiss this petition for want of jurisdiction unless relators filed a response within 10 days of the Notice explaining how this Court had jurisdiction over this original proceeding. Relators did not timely respond to the Notice.
Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as moot for want of jurisdiction. See In re Sierra Club, 420 S.W.3d 153, 156–57 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2012, orig. proceeding); see also Tex. A&M Univ.–Kingsville v. Yarbrough, 347 S.W.3d 289, 290–91 (Tex. 2011); cf. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), (c).
We dismiss the petition for a writ of mandamus as moot.
