Texas Lottery Commission, Appellant v. Willis Willis, Appellee (2011)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

Texas Lottery Commission, Appellant v. Willis Willis, Appellee

NO. 03–10–00330–CV

Decided: July 06, 2011

Before Justices Henson, Rose and Goodwin

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

The Texas Lottery Commission brought this interlocutory appeal from the trial court's denial of its plea to the jurisdiction regarding Willis Willis's petition to take presuit depositions. See Tex.R. Civ. P. 202. Willis has since filed suit against persons and entities he named in the rule 202 petition. See Willis v. Texas Lottery Comm'n, No. D–1–GN–11–001604 (98th Dist. Ct., Travis County, Tex. May 27, 2011) (plaintiff's original petition in case on the merits). The Commission has filed notice asserting that Willis's filing of the suit renders moot its appeal in the proceeding regarding presuit depositions. We dismiss this appeal as moot. Tex.R.App. P. 43.2(f); see Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Hughes, 827 S.W.2d 859, 859 (Tex.1992).
