IN RE TULIO WILFREDO ESCOBAR, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Tulio Wilfredo Escobar, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus,
seeking to compel respondent, the Honorable Mark Kent Ellis, to sign a

clerk’s record, and a supplemental clerk’s record that includes a certification of
defendant’s right of appeal, and the matter is currently pending in appellate cause
number 01-15-00154-CR.
Because relator has received the relief requested in his mandamus petition,
we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. See In re Jackson, No. 01-
12-00020-CV, 2012 WL 405707, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 9,
2012, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (citing In re Duncan, 62 S.W.3d 333, 334 (Tex.
