in Re Isidro Ramos, III ( 2020 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-20-00466-CR
IN RE Isidro RAMOS, III
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 21, 2020
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED AS MOOT
On September 17, 2020, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the
trial court’s refusal to rule on his motion for DNA testing. Relator also filed a motion for leave to
file his petition.
On October 9, 2020, the respondent filed a response containing copies of its October 9,
2020 orders (1) denying relator’s request for appointment of counsel pursuant to Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure Chapter 64 and (2) denying relator’s motion for post-conviction DNA testing.
Because the trial court has ruled on relator’s pending motions, relator has now received the relief
requested. We, therefore, dismiss relator’s petition as moot.

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2015-CR-9685, styled State of Texas v. Isidro Ramos, III, pending in the
144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Melissa Skinner presiding.
04-20-00466-CR
We deny as moot relator’s request to file a petition for writ of mandamus because leave is
not required to file a petition in an intermediate appellate court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1; In re
Medina, 04-19-00041-CR, 2019 WL 360534, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Jan. 30, 2019, no
pet.).
