TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-14-00185-CV

In re Texas Department of Criminal Justice

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and accompanying motion for emergency relief from the district court’s March 27, 2014 temporary restraining order in a pending suit to compel disclosure of information under the Public Information Act. The requestors have filed an emergency responsive brief. The order compels disclosure of the requested information to a limited group of attorneys, with further limitations on their use or disclosure of the information. We deny the mandamus petition and dismiss as moot the request for emergency relief. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 552.322.
