CITY OF HOUSTON AND SYLVESTER TURNER, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS MAYOR OF THE CITY OF HOUSTON ON PETITION FOR REVIEW FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS ORDERED: 1. Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 56.3, after granting the petition for review and without hearing oral argument or considering the merits, the Court vacates the court of appeals’ judgment and dismisses the case as moot.
