IN RE WILLIAM ROGERS
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
Relator William Rogers, an incarcerated inmate proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on July 23, 2019. Through this original proceeding, relator seeks to set aside a sua sponte order transferring venue of the underlying case from the county in which relator is incarcerated, Bee County, to Nueces County on grounds that Nueces County is the county of residence for the defendant in the underlying case, Allen C. Lee. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 15.002 (providing the general rule for venue); id. § 15.019 (governing mandatory venue in inmate litigation).
The Court requests that the real party in interest, Allen C. Lee, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this order. See id. R. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 24th day of July, 2019.
