IN RE: CAROLINE MEADS BROOKSHIRE, RELATOR
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Caroline Meads Brookshire filed this original proceeding to challenge Respondent's grant of an ex parte temporary restraining order. On July 21, 2023, this Court conditionally granted the petition and directed Respondent to vacate her order signed June 28, 2023, granting Real Party in Interest Trenton Brookshire's motion for temporary restraining order and for other relief. By an order signed on July 25, Respondent complied with this Court's opinion and order, rendering this proceeding moot. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Respondent is the Honorable Sara Maynard, Judge of the County Court at Law No. 2 in Smith County, Texas. The Honorable Jason Ellis, Judge of the County Court at Law in Smith County, is the presiding judge over the underlying proceeding. Because Judge Ellis was on vacation at the time, Respondent signed the complained-of order in his stead.
