R. E. Walker, Jr., Relator v. Hon. John Ray Harrison, Judge, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus ordering Judge Harrison to vacate his October 15 reinstatement order. The Court held that the reinstatement was void because it was signed after the 30‑day jurisdictional deadline in Rule 165a and because a written, signed order is required when a statutory time limit applies.
