In re Troy Lee Alexander
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM HAYS COUNTY
Before Justices Goodwin, Triana, and Kelly
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Gisela D. Triana, Justice
Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court's failure to rule on his motion for issuance of citation by publication. This Court subsequently received a copy of the trial court's order granting relator's request. See In re Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc., 166 S.W.3d 732, 737 (Tex. 2005) (orig. proceeding) ("A case becomes moot if a controversy ceases to exist between the parties at any stage of the legal proceedings . . . ."); see also In re Martinez, No. 04-14-00293-CR, 2014 WL 2548571, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio June 4, 2014, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (per curiam) (holding that a "failure to rule" issue becomes moot once the trial court has acted). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
