NUMBER 13-21-00452-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN RE REYNALDO GONZALEZ JR.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Justices Longoria, Hinojosa, and Tijerina
Order Per Curiam
On December 17, 2021, relator Reynaldo Gonzalez Jr. filed an emergency petition
for writ of mandamus through which he asserts that Morgan Graham, County Chair of the
Cameron County Republican Party, erred in rejecting relator’s application for a place on
the 2022 Republican Primary Ballot. Relator requests emergency consideration of this
mandamus prior to January 8, 2022, in order to preserve his rights given the temporal
constraints of the election process.
The Court, having examined and fully considered relator’s request for emergency
consideration, is of the opinion that it should be granted. Accordingly, we grant relator’s
request for emergency relief, and we will consider this matter on expedient terms.
The Court requests that the real party in interest, Graham, or any others whose
interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for
writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of the business day on December 30, 2021.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed on the
17th day of December, 2021.
