IN RE: MARCUS WOOD (2010)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas.

IN RE: MARCUS WOOD, THE KIRKWOOD TEMPLE, THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN PASTORS COALITION, THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE OF DALLAS, THE MT. TABOR BAPTIST CHURCH, AND THE LIFEWAY CHURCH, Relators

No. 05-10-00805-CV

Decided: August 31, 2010

Before Justices Bridges, FitzGerald, and Lang-Miers

Original Proceeding

Dallas County, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers

Relators contend the Dallas City Council improperly decided to call a city-wide election in November 2010 to determine whether to legalize the sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Based on the record before us, we conclude relators have not shown they are entitled to the relief requested. See Tex.R.App. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex.1992). Accordingly, we DENY relators' petition for writ of mandamus.
