Opinion by Justice Schenck
Relator filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus complaining of the trial court’s order
holding him in contempt of court. On March 24, 2015, the trial court ordered relator released
from the custody of the Collin County sheriff. The sheriff has advised the Court by affidavit that
relator was released that same day. Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is moot.
