Mandamus Granted in Failure-to-Rule Case

June 26, 2022

The Fifth Court granted mandamus relief in a failure-to-rule case when: “The ninth and current trial setting is for June 27, 2022, which is less than a week away. The motions were filed more than three months to over twenty-two months ago; the summary judgment motions were heard more than ten months ago; and the remaining motions were heard almost two months ago. The record reflects that relators have requested rulings multiple times. Further, respondent has a history of failing to rule in this case, which has already required this Court to conditionally grant mandamus relief.” In re Reiss, No. 05-22-00575-CV (June 21, 2022) (mem. op.).
