in Re David Bryan Ballard

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00205-CV
In re David Bryan Ballard
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, David Bryan Ballard, has filed a document with this Court, which we
have construed as a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Surgitek, Bristol–Myers
Corp. v. Abel, 997 S.W.2d 598, 601 (Tex. 1999) (courts look to substance of pleading rather than
its caption or form to determine its nature); see also Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; Tex. R. App. P.
52.1. The petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
