In re Adrian and Mary Zuniga

Summary

The Thirteenth Court of Appeals of Texas denied Adrian and Mary Zuniga’s petition for writ of mandamus without prejudice. The court concluded that relators had not met their burden to obtain mandamus relief and noted that the underlying case had been set for trial on April 20, 2026; it also denied their emergency motion for a temporary stay.

Holdings

1. Relators did not meet their burden to establish entitlement to mandamus relief because the underlying case was set for trial.
2. The emergency motion for temporary stay was denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether relators were entitled to mandamus relief based on the trial court's alleged refusal to set the underlying civil case for trial.
2. Whether relators were entitled to an emergency temporary stay while the mandamus petition was pending.
