Also before the Court is relator’s September 8, 2022 Emergency Motion to Stay. The Court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and record, and we conclude relator has not demonstrated entitlement to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We also deny relator’s Emergency Motion to Stay as moot. 220884f.p05 /Ken Molberg// KEN MOLBERG JUSTICE –2–
