TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-22-00259-CV In re Gordon Ridley ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM BELL COUNTY MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on several pro se motions filed within the last three months. Although mandamus relief is generally available when the trial court has failed to rule within a reasonable length of time on a properly filed motion brought to the trial court’s attention, a delay of less than three months is not unreasonable. See In re Whitfield, No. 03-18-00564-CV, 2018 WL 4140735, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Aug. 29, 2018, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. __________________________________________ Thomas J. Baker, Justice Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Triana Filed: May 12, 2022
