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.
