IN RE ADRIENE LEWIS SIBLEY, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Countiss, and Farris.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator, Adriene Lewis Sibley, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, challenging the trial court's judgment in a "tax suit." Relator asserts that the trial court "lacked subject matter jurisdiction" when rendering its judgment because "the tax lien . . . [was] extinguished when [relator] made [a] payment," rendering "the order of sale . . . void." According to relator, the trial court "ha[d] a ministerial duty to set aside the void judgment." Relator has also filed a Motion for Emergency Relief, requesting that the Court "stay the judgment [and] order of sale."
The underlying case is Brazoria County, Brazosport College, Brazosport Independent School District, City of Freeport, Port Freeport, Special Road and Bridge District, and Velasco Drainage District v. Margie Lewis a/k/a Margaret Bell Lewis, Any Unknown Heirs, Successors or Assigns, or Other Unknown Owners, Adverse Claimants Owning or Claiming Any Legal or Equitable Interest in and to Such Property, Adriene G. Lewis, Any Unknown Heirs, Successors or Assigns, or Other Unknown Owners, Adverse Claimants Owning or Claiming Any Legal or Equitable Interest in and to Such Property, Dushay D. Lewis (Heir of Margie Lewis), Donyll Dwayne Lewis (Heir of Margie Lewis), Any Unknown Heirs, Successors or Assigns, or Other Unknown Owners, Adverse Claimants Owning or Claiming Any Legal or Equitable Interest in and to Such Property, and Johnell Allen Lewis (Heir Margie Lewis), Any Unknown Heirs, Successors or Assigns, or Other Unknown Owners, Adverse Claimants Owning or Claiming Any Legal or Equitable Interest in and to Such Property, Cause No. 91447-T, pending in the 239th District Court of Brazoria County, Texas, the Honorable Patrick Sebesta presiding.
We deny the petition. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). All pending motions are dismissed as moot.
