Original proceeding: petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief filed in the Court of Appeals seeking relief from the 235th District Court of Cooke County (Trial Court No. CV25-00201).
Summary
The Texas Second Court of Appeals considered Charles Wayne Wilson’s original petition for a writ of mandamus and his request for temporary relief arising from the 235th District Court of Cooke County (trial court no. CV25-00201). In a per curiam memorandum opinion, the appellate court denied both the petition and the motion for temporary relief without an extended opinion. The court delivered its decision on April 23, 2026, leaving the trial court’s matters undisturbed and denying extraordinary relief from the appellate court.
Issues Decided
- Whether the appellate court should issue a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to take or refrain from specific action.
- Whether temporary relief should be granted pending resolution of the mandamus petition.
Court's Reasoning
The court issued a brief per curiam memorandum concluding that relief should be denied, indicating the relator did not satisfy the standards for extraordinary relief or temporary relief. Because the opinion is concise and unsigned, the court relied on its assessment that mandamus and temporary relief were not warranted under the circumstances, and therefore declined to disturb the trial court.

If relief was sought to address a trial-court order or action, consider motions, objections, or other procedures in the trial court to preserve issues for later review.
