Background

Alicia Rangel Villalobos filed an original proceeding arising from Tarrant County Court at Law No. 1, trial-court cause number 2026-003908-1.

Villalobos submitted a petition for a writ of mandamus and an emergency motion asking the appellate court to stay a writ of possession while the mandamus proceeding was pending. The memorandum opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the challenged trial-court action, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Second Court of Appeals denied Villalobos’s petition for a writ of mandamus.

The court also denied her emergency motion to stay the writ of possession pending resolution of the mandamus proceeding. The per curiam memorandum opinion states only that the court considered the filings and concluded that relief should be denied; it provides no further reasoning.

Key Takeaways

  • The court denied the requested mandamus relief.
  • The court separately denied the emergency request to stay the writ of possession.
  • The memorandum opinion announced the result without discussing the governing legal standard or the underlying facts.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the relator without extraordinary appellate relief or an appellate stay in this proceeding. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers little guidance beyond its disposition of these particular requests.
