                  IN RE ADRIENE LEWIS SIBLEY, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, Adriene Lewis Sibley, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus

challenging the trial court’s judgment in a “tax suit.”      In two issues, relator

contends that the trial court “lacked subject matter jurisdiction” when rendering its

judgment “because the taxes are currently not delinquent” and that the trial court’s

judgment is void as against public policy.” 1

      We deny the petition.
