In Re John Bernard Williams, III v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas November 26, 2025 No. 04-25-00486-CR IN RE John Bernard WILLIAMS, III Original Proceeding 1 ORDER Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice H. Todd McCray, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice Relator filed his petition for writ of mandamus on July 31, 2025. This court denied relator’s petition on August 20, 2025 because it failed to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure applicable to petitions for writ of mandamus. Relator has since filed a motion for en banc reconsideration and, in response to an order issued in cause number 04-25-00379-CR, a “petition for writ of mandamus en banc.” Neither filing meets the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration of mandamus relief. Accordingly, the motion for en banc reconsideration and the “petition for writ of mandamus en banc” are DENIED. Any pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT.

It is so ORDERED on November 26, 2025.

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2019CR6240, styled State of Texas v. John Bernard Williams, III, pending in the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Kristina Escalona presiding.
