In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-13-00065-CV
IN RE: TED EUGENE SLANKER, JR.
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Ted Eugene Slanker, Jr., Relator, filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court
to grant him relief from an order signed June 11, 2013, by the County Court at Law of Lamar
County directing him to pay $3,000.00 per month in spousal support and $10,000.00 to opposing
counsel for attorney’s fees, expenses, and mediation fees in the underlying divorce and property
proceeding. Along with that petition, Slanker also filed a motion for temporary relief requesting
that this Court stay enforcement of the order pending decision on the mandamus. This Court
granted the motion and stayed the trial court’s order.
In the months following the stay, the parties to the underlying divorce and property
dispute reached a settlement of the issues raised by the mandamus action. As a result, Slanker no
longer wishes to prosecute the petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, the mandamus is
moot.
We dismiss this petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
