                               165th District Court
                              Harris County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. 2021-55512

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On Thursday, September 14, 2023, relator 4KBC Trucking, LLC filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221;
see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the
Honorable Ursula A. Hall, presiding judge of the 165th District Court of Harris
County, to rule on its motion to transfer venue.
      Relator 4KBC Trucking filed a petition for a writ of mandamus on
September 14, 2023, asking this court to compel the trial court to rule on a pending
motion to transfer venue. On October 14, 2023, the Honorable Ursula Hall ruled on
the motion after the petition was filed.

      A petition for a writ of mandamus for failure to rule is dismissed as moot
when the trial court rules after the petition for writ of mandamus is filed. See In re
Fiesta Mart, L.L.C., No. 14-18-00180-CV, 2018 WL 1476261, at *1 ((Tex. App.—
Houston [14th Dist.] Mar. 27, 2018, orig. proceeding.) (Dismissing petition for
writ of mandamus as moot when trial court ruled after petition was filed.) Thus, we
dismiss the petition as moot.
                                   PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher, Justices Bourliot, and Hassan.
