In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00523-CV
IN RE MICHAEL DEWAYNE RICKETT, Relator
Original Proceeding from the Probate Court No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. PR-17-00604-2
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Brown, Schenck, and Reichek
Opinion by Justice Brown
Before the Court is relator’s May 3, 2019 petition writ of mandamus in which relator asks
this Court to direct the trial court to set a hearing on relator’s February 17, 2017 application for
heirship and on his motion to remove attorney. By order dated May 9, 2019, this Court requested
that the real party in interest and the respondent file responses to the petition for writ of mandamus
by May 15, 2019. Respondent filed a response as requested. In the response, respondent informed
the Court that she signed an “Order Rescheduling Hearing and to Make Witness Available” on
April 29, 2019. In that order, respondent set the application for heirship, the motion to remove
attorney, and other matters for telephonic hearing on June 3, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Respondent ordered
the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to produce and make available for the telephonic hearing
relator and a notary or any other person qualified to administer oaths.
Relator has received the relief requested in his petition. Accordingly, we deny as moot
relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
