In re: BLAKE BENNETT BULLARD, RELATOR


ORIGINAL PROCEEDING


MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM

Relator Blake Bennett Bullard filed this original mandamus proceeding complaining of the trial court's order for genetic testing in a proceeding to adjudicate parentage filed by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas (OAG). The OAG has filed a notice of nonsuit in that proceeding, and the trial court signed an order directing the clerk of the court to record the nonsuit in the minutes of the court. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 162 ("At any time before the plaintiff has introduced all of his evidence, other than rebuttal evidence, the plaintiff may . . . take a non-suit, which shall be entered in the minutes."). Thus, Bullard's petition for writ of mandamus is now moot. Accordingly, we dismiss Bullard's petition for writ of mandamus. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
