in Re Guadalupe Padilla ( 2019 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00256-CV
In re Guadalupe Padilla
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Guadalupe Padilla filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking this
Court to compel the district court to act on his motion for forensic DNA testing and his motion
for appointment of counsel. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 64.01(a-1), (c). After Padilla filed
his petition, the district court ruled on both of his motions. Accordingly, we dismiss Padilla’s
petition for writ of mandamus as moot. See In re Luna, 317 S.W.3d 484, 484 (Tex. App.—
Amarillo 2010, orig. proceeding) (dismissing mandamus petition as moot after trial court issued
ruling on pending motion); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
