IN RE TRICIA MICHELLE BESSAC, Relator


Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-18-24643

Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle

ORDER

AMANDA L. REICHEK, JUSTICE

This original proceeding challenges a May 6, 2022 order denying relator's motion to transfer venue signed in the 256th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, by Judge David Lopez, then presiding. Judge Lopez has left the bench. Judge Mike Lee has been appointed to the 256th Judicial District Court.

Rule 7.2(b) requires this Court to abate this proceeding to allow the successor judge to reconsider the May 6, 2022 order. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.2(b) ("If the case is an original proceeding under Rule 52, the court must abate the proceeding to allow the successor to reconsider the original party's decision.").

Accordingly, we ABATE this original proceeding. This case is removed from the Court's active docket until further order of this Court, to allow the successor judge, to reconsider the May 6, 2022 ruling of the former judge of the 256th Judicial District Court. We further ORDER the parties to file a status report with this Court within ten days of any ruling by the successor judge required by rule 7.2(b).
