Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
September 15, 2021
No. 04-21-00349-CV
IN RE Greg ABBOTT, in his Official Capacity as Governor of the State of Texas,
Relator
Original Proceeding 1
ORDER
On August 20, 2021, Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which the only relief
requested was to stay the trial court’s August 12, 2021 temporary restraining order (TRO). Relator
separately sought emergency relief to stay the TRO pending resolution of the petition. On
September 2, 2021, the TRO expired, and the trial court granted the real party in interest’s
temporary injunction.
Because the only relief the petition sought was to stay the trial court’s TRO, which has
expired, Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed as moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
It is so ORDERED on September 15, 2021.
