Birdwell
JUDGMENT
This court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and holds
that the petition should be conditionally granted. Accordingly, we conditionally grant
the writ of mandamus. We enjoin Burleson Independent School District from
certifying the incumbent Place 1 candidate of the Burleson Independent School
District’s Board of Trustees as unopposed for reelection and from declaring the
Place 1 incumbent reelected to a new term, and we further order Burleson
Independent School District to conduct a special election to fill the vacancy
therefrom in accordance with this court’s opinion of today’s date. A writ will issue
only if Burleson Independent School District fails to comply with this court’s
judgment.
It is further ordered that Burleson Independent School District shall pay all of
the costs of this proceeding, for which let execution issue.
