Background
Camille Gray sought extraordinary relief in a proceeding arising from In re Estate of Blayne Scott Tucker, Cause No. 2023-PC-02555, pending before Judge Oscar J. Kazen in Probate Court No. 1 of Bexar County, Texas.
On September 18, 2026, Gray filed a petition for writ of mandamus and writ of prohibition. She also filed an emergency motion asking the Fourth Court of Appeals to stay a setting scheduled for September 21, 2026.
The Court’s Holding
After considering Gray’s petition and the mandamus record, the Fourth Court of Appeals concluded that she was not entitled to the requested extraordinary relief. The court therefore denied the petition for writ of mandamus and writ of prohibition under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.8(a).
Because the court denied the petition, it also denied Gray’s emergency motion to stay as moot. The memorandum opinion did not provide further analysis of the asserted grounds for relief.
Key Takeaways
- The court denied both mandamus and prohibition relief after reviewing the petition and mandamus record.
- The opinion states only that Gray was not entitled to relief and does not elaborate on the underlying legal or factual issues.
- The emergency motion to stay the September 21 setting was denied as moot.
Why It Matters
The disposition leaves the underlying Bexar County probate proceeding undisturbed. Because the memorandum opinion contains no substantive analysis, it offers limited guidance beyond confirming that Gray’s record and petition did not establish entitlement to extraordinary relief.
