252 S.W.2d 933 (Tex. 1952)

Opinion

No. A-3872.

November 5, 1952.

Price Daniel, Atty. Gen., and J. Milton Richardson, Clyde B. Kennelly and John Devenport, Asst. Attys. Gen., for relators.

No answer filed by respondents.


From the record before us we cannot assume that the Judge of the 44th Judicial District will grant the relief sought by the plaintiff in Cause No. 71,175-B when hearing therein is held on November 7, 1952; accordingly, the motion for leave to file petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition is overruled without prejudice to the right of relators to again file such motion if the relief sought in such cause should be granted or if hearing therein be further postponed.
