In re William Henry Krieg

Summary

The Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, denied William Henry Krieg’s pro se petition for writ of mandamus seeking findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning a trial court dismissal order. The court held that Krieg was not entitled to relief because he did not timely request findings under Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 296 and 297.

Holdings

1. The district court was not required to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law because Krieg did not timely request them within 20 days after the judgment was signed.
2. Krieg did not establish his entitlement to mandamus relief, and the petition for writ of mandamus was denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Krieg was entitled to mandamus relief compelling the district court to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning its dismissal order.
2. Whether the district court was required to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law when the relator did not timely request them.
