Milliron presiding. original proceeding was abated to allow the successor trial court judge to reconsider the order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 7.2(b). The successor judge subsequently issued an “Order on Reconsideration” (1) concluding that relator’s notice of nonsuit was effective before the granting of the special appearances and (2) vacating the order granting special appearances.

Accordingly, we reinstate this original proceeding on the Court’s active docket and dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. We further dismiss any pending motions as moot.
