On Appeal from the 417th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 417-03108-2013

ORDER

Before the Court is appellant's June 5, 2017 "motion to retain & give further direction" in which appellant asked this Court to "give further direction to the trial court" regarding a hearing set in the trial court on June 8, 2017. To the extent relator asks the Court to answer legal questions in order to guide the trial court in making future rulings, he seeks an advisory opinion that we are not authorized to issue. TEX. CONST. art. V, § 6; City of Garland v. Louton, 691 S.W.2d 603, 605 (Tex. 1985) ("A court has no jurisdiction to render an opinion on a controversy that is not yet ripe."); In re Kuster, 363 S.W.3d 287, 290-91 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2012, orig. proceeding) (appellate courts are "prohibited from issuing advisory opinions by way of writ of mandamus or otherwise.").

We DENY appellant's motion without prejudice to appellant raising his complaints in a brief on the merits at the appropriate time assuming the Court determines it has jurisdiction over this appeal.
