No. 04-15-00128-CR
IN RE Eduardo TREVINO
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
ORDER
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
On March 9, 2015, relator Eduardo Trevino filed a petition for writ of mandamus
complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on a pending motion. Because it appears relator
has attempted to file his motion and request a ruling, this court is of the opinion that a serious
question concerning the mandamus relief sought requires further consideration. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 52.8(b); see also In re Ramirez, 994 S.W.2d 682, 683 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig.
proceeding) (discussing trial court’s ministerial duty to give consideration to and rule upon a
pending motion). The respondent and the real parties in interest may file a response to the
petition in this court no later than April 7, 2015. Any such response must conform to Texas
Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.
It is so ORDERED on March 17, 2015.
