In Re the Honorable Karen Angelini

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of mandamus because material factual disputes exist concerning the filing deadline, the adequacy of the petition, and the party chair's review, rendering mandamus inappropriate in an original proceeding. The Court held that such disputes must be resolved by the trial court and that the petition cannot be granted relief. Justice Johnson concurred, emphasizing the factual disputes, while Justice Wainwright dissented, arguing the petition should be invalidated and the deadline should not be extended.
