DISMISS and Opinion Filed August 27, 2021

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00220-CV IN RE DAVID BARNES, Relator Original Proceeding from the 330th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F-11-11126 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein Opinion by Justice Goldstein In this original proceeding, relator asks us to compel the trial court to rule on various pending motions that seek to modify or challenge the possession schedule set by the trial court’s December 17, 2020 order after de novo review. Relator also asks us to compel the trial court to vacate the December 17, 2020 order and enter a schedule establishing specific times and conditions for his possession of the children.

After reviewing the petition, real party in interest’s response, relator’s supplement, and the record before us, we conclude that this original proceeding is moot. Based on the trial court’s July 26, 2021 order, the possession schedule set by the December 17, 2020 order is no longer in effect. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. See Heckman v. Williamson Cty., 369 S.W.3d 137, 162 (Tex. 2012) (court lacks jurisdiction over case that has become moot).

Having dismissed the petition, we also deny relator’s July 2, 2021 emergency motion for temporary relief and August 13, 2021 supplement to the emergency motion as moot.
