IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-15-00235-CR IN RE MATTHEW ALAN CLENDENNEN Original Proceeding MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed on July 1, 2015. Without recitation of the facts of the case and discussion of the applicable law, of which the parties are well aware, based on this Court’s opinion in In re Graves, and the authorities cited therein, Respondent abused its discretion by issuing its June 30, 2015 gag order. In re Graves, 217 S.W.3d 744 (Tex. App.—Waco 2007, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we conditionally grant Relator’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus. A writ will issue only if Respondent fails to vacate its gag order issued on June 30, 2015 and notify this Court in writing that it has done so within 7 days from the date of this opinion. Relator’s motion for stay is dismissed as moot. TOM GRAY Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins (Justice Davis concurring without an opinion) Pet. conditionally granted Motion dismissed as moot Opinion delivered and filed August 7, 2015 Do not publish [OT06] In re Clendennen Page 2
