In re James McCoy

Summary

The First Court of Appeals of Texas denied James McCoy’s petition for a writ of mandamus. McCoy alleged that the trial court failed to address his motion to compel an answer or, alternatively, for default judgment, but the court concluded that he had not established entitlement to mandamus relief and dismissed pending motions as moot.

Holdings

1. The relator failed to establish that he was entitled to mandamus relief, so the court denied the petition.

Questions Presented

1. Whether James McCoy established entitlement to a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to address his motion to compel an answer or, alternatively, for default judgment.
