IN RE JUAN VIDAL PALLARES, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Juan Vidal Pallares, has filed an amended petition for writ of
mandamus requesting that the Court vacate the trial court’s purportedly improper

proceeding was not moot. We further instructed that if a response was not received
by March 21, 2023, we would dismiss his petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Relator did not adequately respond to our order.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. See In
re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (orig. proceeding) (“This
Court has dismissed petitions for mandamus on the ground that the relief sought
had become moot . . . .”). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
