IN RE HANSZEN LAPORTE, L.L.P.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 12-05-27517, styled Maria Elena Salas Munoz, et al v. Damlier Trucks North America, LLC et al, pending in the 293rd Judicial District Court, Maverick County, Texas, the Honorable Cynthia L. Muniz presiding. --------
On July 28, 2016, relator Hanszen Laporte, L.L.P. filed a petition for writ of mandamus and a motion for emergency stay pending a ruling on the mandamus petition. The trial court has not concluded the hearing on the subject matter of the petition and has not issued an order. Thus, this matter is not ripe for our consideration. An opinion issued in a case that is not ripe is an advisory opinion. Thomas v. Cornyn, 71 S.W.3d 473, 481 (Tex. App.—Austin 2002, no pet.). We have no jurisdiction to issue an advisory opinion. Texas Ass'n of Bus. v. Texas Air Control Bd., 852 S.W.2d 440, 444 (Tex. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss Relator's petition for writ of mandamus and motion for emergency stay for want of jurisdiction.
