TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-07-0070-CV

                                      In re Brian Lee Pope

                     ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator Brian Lee Pope filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus and motion for

emergency stay on February 2, 2007, challenging the district court’s January 29, 2007 order

committing him to county jail. By order dated February 2, 2007, we granted relator’s motion for

emergency stay of the order and allowed his release from custody pending our disposition of his

petition for writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b)(3).

               By order dated February 12, 2007, the district court vacated its January 29, 2007

Order Holding Respondent in Contempt for Failure to Pay Child Support, Granting Judgment, and

for Commitment to County Jail. Because the order that is the subject of Pope’s petition for writ of

habeas corpus has been vacated, both the emergency stay and his petition are moot. We lift the

emergency stay and dismiss this petition for writ of habeas corpus.

                                             G. Alan Waldrop, Justice
