Opinion issued August 21, 2025

In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00636-CR NO. 01-25-00637-CR ——————————— IN RE REUBEN ANTONIO HERNANDEZ, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Reuben Antonio Hernandez, incarcerated and proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in each of his underlying trial court causes, asserting that the trial court had violated its ministerial duty to rule on a “substantive habeas application,” among other alleged errors. Relator’s petition requested that this Court “[d]ismiss all pending charges against [relator] with prejudice, on grounds of egregious and irremediable prejudice resulting from repeated violations of constitutional rights, judicial bias, willful State misconduct, and late disclosure of exculpatory evidence.”1 Our review of Hernandez’s mandamus petition reflects that he has failed to establish that he is entitled to mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k), 52.7, 52.8; see also Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). Accordingly, we deny Hernandez’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Dokupil.

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

The underlying cases are The State of Texas v. Reuben Antonio Hernandez, Cause Nos. 24-06-19183, 24-06-19184, in the 506th District Court of Waller County, Texas, the Honorable Gary W. Chaney presiding.
