An Original Proceeding In Mandamus.

Before CHEW, C. J., McCLURE, and RIVERA, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS


On September 12, 2011, the trial court granted Relator's request for a temporary restraining order ("TRO"). The TRO provided that it would remain effective for fourteen days. It also set a temporary injunction hearing for September 26, 2011. On September 15, 2011, the trial court modified the TRO by deleting certain of its provisions. Relator then filed a petition for writ of mandamus, asking that we order the trial court to vacate the order modifying the TRO and to reinstate the deleted provisions. Relator also filed a motion for emergency temporary relief, which we denied. Because the TRO has now expired by its own terms, all issues related to it are moot. See Hermann Hosp. v. Thu Nga Thi Tran, 730 S.W.2d 56, 57 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1987, no writ). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.
