MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Court REINSTATES this combined appeal and petition for writ of mandamus to the Court's docket. The judge of the 162nd Judicial District Court changed after both cases were filed with this Court. Under the rules of appellate procedure, the original proceeding had to be abated and remanded to the new judge for reconsideration. Tex.R.App.P. 7.2(b). The Court also abated and remanded the appeal because the ruling at issue in the appeal is the same ruling at issue in the original proceeding. The new judge reversed the prior judge's ruling. Appellant filed an unopposed motion to dismiss because the new ruling caused all issues before this Court to become moot.
The Court GRANTS appellants' unopposed motion to dismiss this combined appeal and petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES this combined appeal and petition for writ of mandamus. Tex.R.App.P. 42.1.
