TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-21-00361-CV

                                In re Patrick Earl Tarkington

                     ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court’s

failure to grant his trial attorney’s motion to withdraw. This Court subsequently received a copy

of the trial court's docket sheet, indicating that the motion to withdraw has been granted. See In

re Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc., 166 S.W.3d 732, 737 (Tex. 2005) (orig. proceeding) (“A case

becomes moot if a controversy ceases to exist between the parties at any stage of the legal

proceedings ....”). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.

                                             __________________________________________
                                             Edward Smith, Justice
