	Relators A. Glenn Trubee and Patricia A. Rygg filed a petition for writ of mandamus,
invoking our mandamus jurisdiction under the Texas Election Code.  See Tex. Elec. Code Ann.
§ 273.061 (West 2003).  Relators sought to have Respondents (1) place on the ballot for the May 13th,
2006, election a proposition pursuant to Texas Local Gov't Code Ann. § 174.051 (West 1999). 
Respondents do not oppose the relief sought by relators, stating that they "are not opposed to
ordering an election on the proposition that is the subject of the petitions presented to the District,
and are prepared to act at a meeting of the Commissioners of the District" scheduled for 3:45 p.m.
on March 23, 2006.  We express no opinion on the disputed details of the process of calling the
election.  We grant the unopposed petition for writ of mandamus.
