IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-15-00235-CR
IN RE MATTHEW ALAN CLENDENNEN
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed on July 1, 2015. Without
recitation of the facts of the case and discussion of the applicable law, of which the
parties are well aware, based on this Court’s opinion in In re Graves, and the authorities
cited therein, Respondent abused its discretion by issuing its June 30, 2015 gag order. In
re Graves, 217 S.W.3d 744 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we
conditionally grant Relator’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus. A writ will issue only if
Respondent fails to vacate its gag order issued on June 30, 2015 and notify this Court in
writing that it has done so within 7 days from the date of this opinion. Relator’s motion
for stay is dismissed as moot.
