In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-23-00469-CV IN RE Z.Q., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 315th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 86707 MEMORANDUM OPINION On Wednesday, July 5, 2023, relator Z.Q. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Leah Shapiro, presiding judge of the 315th District Court of Harris County (1) to rule on a “motion for a merits ruling on an application for writ of habeas corpus”; and (2) to rule on a motion for a hearing “in order to fully develop the facts and arguments necessary to make a ruling on the constitutional claims.”

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.

Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Poissant, and Wilson.
