Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-23-00215-CR IN RE Edwin Abiel ESCOBAR AGUILAR Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 19, 2023 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED AS MOOT On March 7, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator also filed a motion for stay of the underlying proceeding pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus, which this court granted in part on March 8, 2023.

Relator’s mandamus petition argues the trial court has failed to rule on his application for writ of habeas corpus and his motion to waive his required in-person attendance at a March 9, 2023 pretrial hearing. During the pendency of this original proceeding, the trial court ruled on relator’s application for writ of habeas corpus. Because relator has received a ruling on his application for writ of habeas corpus, this issue is now moot. See In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 534 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2014) (orig. proceeding) (holding mandamus petition was moot where relator received relief

sought). Additionally, because of the stay granted by this court, relator’s complaint about his required in-person attendance at the March 9, 2023 pretrial hearing is moot. See id. Based on the record before us, relator has obtained the relief sought in his petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, his petition for writ of mandamus is moot. See id. We, therefore, dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and lift the stay.
