IN RE JAMES LARAY ROWE, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 304th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. JD-35928-W
ORDER
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans and Whitehill
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus, in which relator contends the
former judge of the 304th Judicial District Court failed to rule on relator’s petition for writ of
habeas corpus. We ABATE the mandamus proceeding pursuant to rule 7.2(b) of the Texas
Rules of Appellate Procedure to allow the successor judge to determine whether to take the
action requested by relator. This case is removed from the Court’s active docket until further
order of this Court. The Court ORDERS the Honorable Andrea Martin, Judge of the 304th
Judicial District Court, to advise the Court of the status of relator’s petition for writ of habeas
corpus on or before March 9, 2015 and to provide the Court with copies of any orders signed by
the trial court with respect to relator’s petition for writ of habeas corpus.
