Background
Mykeisha Palmer sought mandamus relief in an underlying Harris County civil case pending before Judge Tameka Craft in the 189th District Court. The underlying action is Shandy Collins v. Jakarta Washington, Kory Woods, Mykiesha Palmer, and Vershawn Bussell, cause number 2021-46584.
Palmer asked the court of appeals to compel the trial court to rule on her July 1, 2026 motion for continuance of a June 15, 2026 trial setting.
The Court’s Holding
The Texas First Court of Appeals denied Palmer’s petition for a writ of mandamus.
The memorandum opinion did not provide additional reasoning or discuss whether Palmer had established the requirements for mandamus relief.
Key Takeaways
- The court denied the requested mandamus relief.
- Palmer had sought an order compelling the trial court to rule on her motion for continuance.
- The brief memorandum opinion did not address the merits of the continuance request or explain the basis for denying mandamus.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves Palmer without an appellate writ compelling a ruling on her continuance motion. Because the opinion offers no substantive analysis, it provides little guidance beyond the disposition of this particular original proceeding.
