Background

Thomas Ray Jorgenson filed an original proceeding in the Texas Second Court of Appeals seeking a writ of mandamus. The proceeding arose from Trial Court No. CL2023108 in the County Court at Law of Hood County, Texas.

Jorgenson also filed a motion for an emergency stay. The memorandum opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the trial court action being challenged, or Jorgenson’s arguments for relief.

The Court’s Holding

The court denied Jorgenson’s petition for a writ of mandamus. It stated only that it had considered the petition and was of the opinion that relief should be denied.

The court also denied Jorgenson’s motion for an emergency stay. The per curiam memorandum opinion provided no further reasoning or discussion of the standards governing either request.

Key Takeaways

  • The mandamus petition was denied.
  • The motion for an emergency stay was also denied.
  • The court did not explain the underlying facts or provide substantive legal analysis.

Why It Matters

The decision ends Jorgenson’s request for mandamus relief and an emergency stay in this original appellate proceeding. Because the court issued a summary denial without discussing the facts or legal standards, the opinion offers little guidance beyond its disposition of these specific requests.
