Fourth Court of Appeals

                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

                                           No. 04-23-00199-CR

                                     IN RE Wilber Marcial PEREZ

                                           Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
                  Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
                  Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 17, 2023

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED AS MOOT

           On March 6, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator also filed a motion

to stay the underlying proceeding pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus,

which this court granted in part on March 8, 2023.

           Relator’s mandamus petition argues the trial court failed to rule on his application for writ

of habeas corpus and his motion to urge. Relator’s motion seeks to continue his required in-person

attendance at a March 9, 2023 pretrial hearing until the trial court rules on his application for writ

of habeas corpus.

           After relator filed this original proceeding, the trial court denied relator’s application for

writ of habeas corpus. When the trial court ruled on his application for writ of habeas corpus,

1
 This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 12966CR, styled State of Texas v. Wilber Marcial Perez, pending in the
County Court, Kinney County, Texas, the Honorable Todd Alexander Blomerth and the Honorable Susan D. Reed
presiding.
                                                                                     04-23-00199-CR

relator received the relief he sought through his mandamus petition, rendering his petition moot.

See In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (orig. proceeding) (holding

mandamus petition was moot where relator received relief sought). Additionally, because of the

stay granted by this court, relator’s complaint about his required in-person attendance at the March

9, 2023 pretrial hearing is also moot. See id. We, therefore, dismiss relator’s petition for writ of

mandamus and lift the stay we imposed on March 8, 2023.
