MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Lang, and Myers
Opinion by Justice FitzGerald
Relator contends the trial court failed to rule on his motion for DNA testing. The facts
and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Relator’s motion
for DNA testing was denied by the trial court on August 26, 2013. Therefore, the issues
presented in this petition are moot. See Dow Chem. Co. v. Garcia, 909 S.W.2d 503, 505 (Tex.
1995) (orig. proceeding), In re Gill, No. 06-04-00090-CV, 2004 WL 1884498 at *1 (Tex.
App.BTexarkana Aug. 24, 2004, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator=s petition
for writ of mandamus.
