Original proceeding (petition for writ of mandamus) from the 271st District Court of Wise County, Texas.
Summary
The Texas Second Court of Appeals (Fort Worth) considered a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by A.Y. seeking relief from an order of the 271st District Court of Wise County (trial court No. CV25-03-218). After review, the appellate court denied the petition and refused to grant mandamus relief. The memorandum opinion is per curiam and does not elaborate the reasoning beyond the denial; the court simply announces that relief is denied and issues no written opinion expanding on its conclusion.
Issue Decided
- Whether relator was entitled to extraordinary mandamus relief from an order of the trial court.
Court's Reasoning
The memorandum opinion is per curiam and provides no extended explanation; the court considered the petition and determined that the standards for mandamus relief were not met, therefore denying the petition. Because mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, the court implicitly found that relator did not show a clear abuse of discretion or lack of adequate remedy by appeal.

What You Should Do Next
- 1
Consult appellate counsel
Talk with an attorney promptly to evaluate whether an appeal from the underlying trial-court order is available and advisable, and to confirm any deadlines.
- 2
Consider motion for rehearing
If appropriate, file a motion for rehearing in the appellate court in accordance with local rules and deadlines to preserve further appellate arguments.
- 3
Proceed in trial court as required
Unless another court order says otherwise, comply with the trial court's order that was the subject of the mandamus petition while exploring other remedies.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What did the appellate court decide?
- The court denied the petition for a writ of mandamus, so it refused to overturn or control the trial court's action by mandamus.
- Who is affected by this decision?
- The relator, identified as A.Y., is directly affected because the requested extraordinary relief was denied; the trial court's order remains in effect.
- Does this explain why the petition was denied?
- No. The opinion is a short per curiam memorandum that simply states the petition was considered and denied without explaining the court's detailed reasoning.
- What can the relator do next?
- The relator may seek other remedies such as pursuing an appeal from the underlying trial-court order if available or requesting rehearing, but should consult counsel about deadlines and appropriate procedures.
