                          STATEMENT OF THE CASE

      The underlying proceeding, Case No. 2015-70244, is a Deceptive Trade

Practices Act case, over the construction of a new residence, that resulted in a Final

Judgment in favor of BRANDON SOCIE and ABRIL SOCIE against KIRBY

CONSTRUCTION OF TEXAS, L.L.C.

      Respondent, URSULA A. HALL, is the presiding judge of the                 165th

Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The relief which Relator seeks is

that the Respondent be ordered to rule upon Relators’ Motion to Compel (post-

judgment) Deposition Appearance of Michael W. Maldonado, which Motion was

on the court’s submission docket of November 27, 2017.

                               ISSUE PRESENTED
     Did the trial court violate its ministerial duty of considering and ruling on a

party’s Motion, to wit, Relators’ Motion to Compel Deposition Appearance of

Michael W. Maldonado?

                      STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION

     Jurisdiction exists pursuant to Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(b).

                                       1
                           STATEMENT OF FACTS

      The trial court awarded a Final Judgment to Relators on March 30, 2016 for

$118,457.60 in actual damages and $10,000.00 in attorney’s fees (Appendix #1).

      A member of the Judgment Debtor, KIRBY CONSTRUCTION OF TEXAS,

L.L.C. d/b/a UBUILDIT, one Michael Wayne Maldonado, was subpoena’d to

appear for post-judgment deposition on July 28, 2017 (Appendix #2), yet Mr.

Maldonado did not appear, per the Certificate of Non-Appearance (Appendix #3).

      Relators filed a Motion to Compel Deposition Appearance (Appendix #4)

and set same for submission on November 27, 2017 (Appendix #5), accompanied

by a proposed Order Compelling Deposition Appearance bearing a date certain for

the witness to appear for deposition (Appendix #6).        However, per the Events

summary page of the District Clerk’s Office (Appendix #10), no ruling was made

contemporaneous with the submission date, and continuing to the present.

      On December 20, 2017, Relators filed a First Amended Order Compelling

Deposition Appearance, along with a filing letter (Appendix #7), bearing a date

certain for the witness to appear for deposition, 30 days later.

      On January 29, 2018, Relators filed a Second Amended Order Compelling

Deposition Appearance, along with a filing letter (Appendix #8), bearing a date

certain for the witness to appear for deposition, 18 days later.

                                       2
      On March 7, 2018, Relators filed a Third Amended Order Compelling

Deposition Appearance, along with a filing letter (Appendix #9), bearing a date

certain for the witness to appear for deposition, 35 days later. Still, there has been

no ruling, per the Events summary page of the District Clerk’s Office (Appendix

#10) and the Affidavit of Evidence attached hereto from Relators’ counsel.

                                  ARGUMENT

       When a Motion is properly filed and pending, a trial court’s act of

considering it and ruling on it is ministerial, and appellate courts may issue

mandamus to compel the trial court judge to act. City of Galveston v. Gray, 93
S.W.3d 587, 592-93 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th] 2002, pet. denied), In re Molina,

94 S.W.3d 885 (Tex. App. – San Antonio 2003, no pet.).

       In order to establish violation of a ministerial duty by a failure to rule, a

Relator must show:       (1) A Motion was properly filed, leading to a duty to rule,

which Motion has been pending for a reasonable time; (2)          A ruling has been

requested; and     (3)      There has been a refusal to rule. In re Sarkissian, 243
S.W.3d 860 (Tex. App. – Waco 2008, no pet.), In re Sepeda, 143 S.W.3d 871

(Tex. App. – El Paso 2004, no pet.). Relator easily meets this burden.

       Texas law holds that whether a reasonable time has elapsed before a judge

may be compelled to act on a Motion is dependent on the circumstances of each

                                        3
case. In re Guetersloh, 326 S.W.2d 737 (Tex. App. – Amarillo 2010, no pet.).

Relators contend a reasonable time has elapsed, as the Motion itself was set for

submission six (6) months before this Petition is filed (Appendix #5).

      Relators have no adequate remedy at law, as the Motion in question is a

post-judgment one that may not be appealed. In re TDFPS, 210 S.W.3d 609, 612

(Tex. 2006), In re Prudential, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004).

     Although an appellate court may compel a trial court to rule upon a motion, it

does not require the judge to rule in a certain way. In re Birdwell, 224 S.W.3d 864

(Tex. App. – Waco 2007 no pet.). All that Relators request is a ruling rather than

no ruling.   Relators are permitted to conduct post-judgment discovery, per TEX.

R. CIV. P. 621a. The Motion to Compel does not present any complex matter.

     Relator has demonstrated hereinabove its entitlement to a Writ of Mandamus

to compel the performance of a ministerial act or duty. Walker v. Packer, 827
S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992).

                                  PRAYER

      Relators pray    that Respondent be ordered to rule upon the Motion to

Compel Deposition Appearance and sign an Order reflecting its ruling.
