Background

Charlie Malouff filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals on July 29, 2026.

The original proceeding arose from Cause No. 2025W00400, pending before Judge Lisa Jarrett in the 436th District Court of Bexar County, Texas. The memorandum opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or the specific relief Malouff requested.

The Court’s Holding

After considering Malouff’s petition and the record, the court concluded that he was not entitled to the requested relief.

The court therefore denied the petition for a writ of mandamus under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.8(a). The per curiam opinion did not provide additional reasoning.

Key Takeaways

  • The court denied Malouff’s mandamus petition.
  • The decision followed review of both the petition and the record.
  • The memorandum opinion did not identify the underlying issue or explain why mandamus relief was unavailable.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the underlying district-court proceeding unchanged by appellate mandamus relief. Because the court issued a short, unpublished memorandum opinion without substantive analysis, it offers limited guidance beyond the disposition of Malouff’s petition.
