in Re Gordon Ridley ( 2022 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00259-CV
In re Gordon Ridley
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM BELL COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court’s
failure to rule on several pro se motions filed within the last three months. Although mandamus
relief is generally available when the trial court has failed to rule within a reasonable length of
time on a properly filed motion brought to the trial court’s attention, a delay of less than three
months is not unreasonable. See In re Whitfield, No. 03-18-00564-CV, 2018 WL 4140735, at *1
(Tex. App.—Austin Aug. 29, 2018, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we deny the petition for
writ of mandamus.
