NO. 12-19-00015-CR
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
IN RE: §
JACKIE ANDREWS, § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
RELATOR §
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator, Jackie Andrews, filed this pro se original proceeding to challenge Respondent’s
failure to rule on his motion to compel the district attorney to surrender Brady material and motion
for appointment of counsel for discovery and production of Brady document.1 By an order signed
on September 21, 2018, Respondent denied Relator’s motion for issuance of show cause order,
motion to compel the district attorney to surrender Brady material, and motion for appointment of
counsel. Accordingly, because Respondent ruled on Relator’s motions, he has received the relief
requested in this original proceeding. For this reason, we dismiss Relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus as moot. See In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (orig.
proceeding) (there is nothing to mandamus when relief sought has become moot).
Opinion delivered January 16, 2019.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
