      On July 5, 2021, relator Aquilla Burks 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

judge of the Probate Court No. 3 of Harris County, to vacate its June 23, 2021
“Order Granting Movants’ [sic] [real party in interest] Motion to Set Aside Order
dated February 9, 2021, Granting Applicant’s [relator] Application for Set Aside of
Exempt Property, Allowance in Lieu of Exempt Property, and Order of No
Administration” and to prohibit the probate court from proceeding with a hearing
on the merits of relator’s no administration application or real party in interest’s
probate application.

      On August 17, 2021, relator filed an unopposed motion for voluntary
dismissal. Relator requests that her petition for writ of mandamus be dismissed
without prejudice.
      We GRANT relator’s unopposed motion for voluntary dismissal and
ORDER relator’s petition for writ of mandamus DISMISSED without prejudice.
