Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-13-00123-CV IN RE Taysha PARRA Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 24, 2013 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED AS MOOT On February 15, 2013, Relator Taysha Parra filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court complaining of the July 10, 2012 order on the motion to vacate signed by the Honorable Martha Tanner. Because Judge Tanner was no longer the presiding judge of the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, on February 22, 2013, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 7.2(b), this court abated the proceeding to the Honorable Laura Salinas, the newly elected judge presiding over the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, to reconsider Judge Tanner’s order. On March 20, 2013, Judge Salinas entered an order vacating the modification portion of the July 10, 2012 order and reinstated the modification action on the court’s docket. Judge 1 This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2011-CI-008818, styled In the Interest of K.K.M., pending in the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Cathy Stryker presiding. However, the order complained of was signed by the Honorable Martha Tanner, formerly presiding judge of the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas. 04-13-00123-CV Salinas, however, ordered the portion of the July 10, 2012 order denying sanctions to remain in effect. On April 12, 2013, Relator filed a motion to dismiss because the petition for writ of mandamus is now moot. We agree that in light of the order signed by Judge Salinas, the petition for writ of mandamus is now moot. Accordingly, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED and the petition for writ of mandamus is DISMISSED AS MOOT. PER CURIAM -2-
