IN RE MICHAEL D. WILLIAMS, Relator
Writ of Mandamus Dismissed, Opinion issued May 7, 2012
Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F94-03570-TK
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Lang, and Fillmore
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Relator contends the trial court failed to act on his motion for DNA testing and to appoint counsel. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. The trial court has rendered an order appointing counsel for relator and a court's notification of request for forensic DNA testing. Therefore, the issues presented in this petition are moot. See Dow Chem. Co. v. Garcia, 909 S.W.2d 503, 505 (Tex. 1995) (orig. proceeding), In re Gill, No. 06-04- 00090-CV, 2004 WL 1884498, at *1 (Tex. App.-Texarkana Aug. 24, 2004, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for a writ of mandamus.
