Background

Bobby E. Williams, II filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in the Texas Tenth Court of Appeals on October 26, 2026. The proceeding arose from Trial Court Cause No. D26-34095-CV in Navarro County’s 13th District Court, with Judge James E. Lagomarsino presiding.

Williams also filed a motion for emergency relief on October 26, 2026. The memorandum opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the relief Williams requested from the trial court, or the grounds asserted in his filings.

The Court’s Holding

The court denied Williams’s petition for a writ of mandamus. Its memorandum opinion did not provide reasoning or discuss the requirements for mandamus relief.

The court dismissed Williams’s motion for emergency relief as moot. Justice Lee Harris delivered the opinion for the three-judge panel.

Key Takeaways

  • The court denied the petition for a writ of mandamus.
  • The court dismissed the accompanying emergency-relief motion as moot.
  • The brief memorandum opinion did not address the underlying facts or explain its reasoning.

Why It Matters

The ruling ends this mandamus proceeding without granting Williams extraordinary or emergency relief. Because the court supplied no substantive analysis, the opinion offers no new guidance on the standards governing mandamus or emergency relief.
