Opinion issued October 2, 2026 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-26-00938-CV ——————————— IN RE HANS DANE CHRISTIAN TRUELSON, Relator Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Hans Dane Christian Truelson, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he contends that, despite his demands, the official court reporter of the 280th District Court of Harris County, Texas, has failed and refused to provide the transcript “from the trial” in the underlying trial court cause.1 1 The underlying case is Briana Camille Truelson v. Hans Dane Christian Truelson, Cause No. 2026-40010, in the 280th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Damiane Dianne Curvey presiding. Relator’s petition requests that the Court order the official court reporter of the 280th District Court of Harris County, Texas, or any substitute reporter, to produce the transcript “from the trial.” This Court may issue a writ of mandamus against judges of a district, statutory county, statutory probate, or a county court in the court of appeals district. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b). Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus requests that this Court issue a writ of mandamus against the official, or substitute, court reporter for the 280th District Court of Harris County, Texas. The Court has no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a court reporter unless they are interfering with our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a); see also In re Williams, No. 05-20-00255-CV, 2020 WL 967349, at *1 (Tex. App.— Dallas Feb. 28, 2020, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). We conclude that relator has failed to establish he is entitled to mandamus relief, and therefore, the Court denies relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We dismiss any pending motions as moot. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Guerra, and Gunn. 2
