In re Thomas Taylor

Summary

The First Court of Appeals of Texas considered Thomas Taylor’s petition for a writ of mandamus challenging interim temporary orders in a suit to modify the parent-child relationship. The court denied the petition without prejudice to refiling and denied the requested temporary relief because a motion to reconsider the orders remained pending in the trial court.

Holdings

1. The Court of Appeals denied the petition for writ of mandamus without prejudice to refiling because the challenged interim orders were still subject to a pending motion to reconsider in the trial court.
2. The request for temporary relief was denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Court of Appeals should grant mandamus relief challenging interim temporary orders while a motion to reconsider those orders remained pending in the trial court.
2. Whether Taylor was entitled to temporary relief pending resolution of the mandamus petition.
