A mandamus in time …

The well-intentioned mandamus petitioners in In re Diaz sought relief from the trial court not having a hearing on their TCPA motion to dismiss. Unfortunately, the record showed that “the statutory deadline by which the trial court must hold the TCPA hearing had expired prior to relators filing their petition and the trial court may no longer hold the hearing,” thereby mooting the mandamus petition. No. 05-21-01115 (June 3, 2022) (mem. op.).
