Fourth Court of Appeals
                                        San Antonio, Texas
                                              February 21, 2024

                                            No. 04-23-00318-CR

                                  IN RE Isaias PAZ-ESTRADA, et al.

                                            Original Proceeding 1

                                                   ORDER

       On April 4, 2023, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus. On June 6, 2023, we
received notice that relator Alberto Garcia Galvan’s request for relief is now moot. Accordingly,
we DISMISS relator Galvan’s request for relief as moot.

        As for the remaining seventeen relators, after considering the petition, real party in
interest’s response, relators’ reply, amicus briefing, and this record, this court concludes relators
are not entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

        It is so ORDERED on February 21, 2024.

                                                                      _____________________________
                                                                      Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 21st day of February, 2024.

                                                                      _____________________________
