In re Timothy Chad Gold v. the State of Texas

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas May 7, 2025 No. 04-25-00085-CV IN RE Timothy Chad GOLD, Relator Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 ORDER Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice On February 7, 2025, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus asserting respondent’s January 21, 2025 temporary orders for modification of the parent-child relationship were void because he had filed a motion to recuse on January 17, 2025.

After considering the mandamus petition and record, we conclude respondent erred when signing the January 21, 2025 temporary orders, rendering the orders void. We conditionally grant the writ of mandamus and direct the judge assigned to preside in Cause No. 2024-10-35752-CV, In the Interest of G.G., a child, to vacate the January 21, 2025 temporary orders. The writ will issue only in the event the assigned judge fails to comply within fifteen days from the date of this order.

It is so ORDERED on May 7, 2025.
