Relator, Libby Sandoval Brickey, filed a petition for writ of mandamus

The underlying case is In the Matter of the Marriage of Libby Sandoval Brickey and
Chad Christopher Brickey, Cause No. 25-DCV-334703, in the 505th District Court
of Fort Bend County, Texas, the Honorable LaTosha McGill Clayton presiding
On July 16, 2026, relator filed a “Motion for Voluntary Dismissal of Petition for
Writ of Mandamus.” In the motion, relator stated that the trial court had signed an
amended order rendering the request for mandamus relief moot.
The motion did not include a certificate of conference stating whether real
party in interest was opposed to the relief requested in the motion. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 10.1(a)(5). However, more than ten days have passed, and no party has responded
to the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a)(2).
We grant relator’s motion and dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Morgan.
