Relator Daneca Lavern Benton filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus

challenging the trial court’s May 1, 2023 order granting a motion to reinstate for lack

of proper verification.1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 21(f)(7)(A). Relator also filed a motion

for temporary relief seeking to “stay the trial court proceedings during the pendency

of this proceeding.”

as moot.
