Relator, Jennifer Elizabeth Timar, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court, seeking relief from the trial court's temporary orders in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. The petition names the Honorable Charley Prine as the respondent in this original proceeding. On December 6, 2018, relator filed a supplemental mandamus record that includes respondent's "Voluntary Recusal Order," and an order transferring the proceeding from the 246th District Court of Harris County to the 309th District Court of Harris County.
Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 7.2, The Honorable Linda Marie Dunson is substituted for the Honorable Charley Prine as the respondent in this original proceeding. See TEX. R. APP. P. 7.2(a). Further, this original proceeding is abated and remanded to the trial court to allow Judge Dunson to reconsider the rulings made the basis of relator's petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 7.2(b); see also In re Blevins, 480 S.W.3d 542, 544 (Tex. 2013) (orig. proceeding).
The named respondent, the Honorable Charley Prine, has ceased to hold the office of Judge of the 246th District Court of Harris County, Texas. And, the Honorable Sheri Y. Dean has ceased to hold the office of Judge of the 309th District Court of Harris County.
Within 30 days of the date of this order, the parties are directed to notify the Clerk of this Court of any action taken on reconsideration of the rulings made the basis of relator's petition and file any orders regarding reconsideration of those rulings in a supplemental mandamus record. The Court will then consider a motion to reinstate or dismiss this proceeding, as appropriate.
This original proceeding is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court's active docket.
