IN RE DENA HALL AND DE’VON BANKETT, Relators
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
County Court at Law No. 5
Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 21-CCV-069075
MAJORITY MEMORANDUM OPINION
On October 31, 2022, relators Dena Hall and De’Von Bankett filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221;
see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this Court to compel the
Honorable Teana V. Watson, presiding judge of the County Court at Law No. 5 of
Fort Bend County, to vacate the July 16, 2021 judgment and orders lifting the stay
on the issuance and execution of writs of possession.
Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Spain, Poissant, and Wilson (Spain, J., dissenting).
