Background
Matthew C.W. Wildman sought mandamus relief from the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals in an original proceeding arising from Matthew C.W. Wildman v. State of Texas, Cause No. 2026CV01024. That case was pending before Judge John Longoria in Bexar County Court at Law No. 10.
Wildman filed his mandamus petition on September 3, 2026. He also moved for temporary relief. The memorandum opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the challenged trial-court action, or Wildman’s arguments.
The Court’s Holding
After considering the petition and the record, the court concluded that Wildman was not entitled to the requested mandamus relief. It therefore denied the petition under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.8(a).
Because the court denied the mandamus petition, it also denied Wildman’s motion for temporary relief as moot. The court issued its decision per curiam.
Key Takeaways
- The court denied Wildman’s petition for a writ of mandamus.
- The brief memorandum opinion states only that the petition and record did not establish entitlement to relief.
- The accompanying motion for temporary relief was denied as moot.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the underlying Bexar County proceeding undisturbed and provides no substantive analysis of the dispute or the requirements for mandamus relief beyond citing Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.8(a).
