COVID Mandamus

August 11, 2021

The dispute between Governor Abbott’s GA-38 order, on the one hand, and Judge Tonya Parker’s TRO / County Judge Clay Jenkins’ recent COVID order, on the other, has led to the filing of a mandamus petition in the Fifth Court on the Governor’s behalf. It is accompanied by a request for emergency relief that requests a ruling by Friday afternoon.
