Opinion filed October 8, 2026 In The Eleventh Court of Appeals __________ No. 11-26-00253-CV __________ IN RE ERIC KINZER Original Mandamus Proceeding MEMORANDUM OPINION On September 16, 2026, Relator, Eric Kinzer, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. In the petition, Relator requested that we compel the trial court to rule on his pending “Motion to Recall Capias.” On September 24, however, the trial court considered Relator’s motion and withdrew the capias, ordering the Nolan County Sheriff to take the necessary actions to remove the capias from active status on any state or nationwide systems and setting the case for a hearing. Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is now moot because the trial court has provided him the relief that he seeks from this court. See In re Carlson, 712 S.W.3d 71, 75 (Tex. 2025) (orig. proceeding) (“Because no . . . dispute remains, we are obliged to dismiss the mandamus petition as moot.”); In re Davis, No. 11-26- 00015-CV, 2026 WL 386854, at *1 (Tex. App.—Eastland Feb. 12, 2026, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (The trial court provided the relator with the relief sought, rendering the petition for writ of mandamus moot.). We lack jurisdiction to decide a moot controversy. Carlson, 712 S.W.3d at 73, 75. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. JOHN M. BAILEY CHIEF JUSTICE October 8, 2026 Panel consists of: Bailey, C.J., Trotter, J., and Williams, J. 2
