IN RE SHU SEAN ZHENG, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Shu Sean Zheng, filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging
the trial court’s April 14, 2026 “Order Granting [Real Party in Interest the Harris
County Appraisal District’s] Motion to Compel Entry Upon Property and
Inspection.”1 The trial court’s order required the interior inspection of relator’s

No. 2020-72964, in the 61st District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable

residence no later than May 15, 2026. Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus
requested that the Court grant the petition and issue a writ of mandamus directing
the trial court to vacate its April 14, 2026 order, to further deny the motion to compel
entry upon property and inspection, or alternatively, grant relator’s motion to quash
and for protective order.
The Court stayed enforcement of the trial court’s order pending consideration
of the petition for writ of mandamus. On request of the Court, the Harris County
Appraisal District filed a response to the petition for writ of mandamus, and relator
filed a reply in support of his request for mandamus relief.
We conclude that relator has failed to establish he is entitled to mandamus
relief, and therefore, the Court lifts the stay imposed by our May 14, 2026 order and
denies relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We dismiss any pending motions as
moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Caughey, Johnson, and Dokupil.
