COURT OF APPEALS


THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS


CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE: RENE GARCIA, JR.

____________________________________________________________

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Yañez, Rodriguez, and Garza

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion (1)


 Relator, Rene Garcia, Jr., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause
on June 8, 2007.   The Court requested that the real party in interest, Antonia Vallejo
Garcia, file a response, and such response was duly filed on June 22, 2007, along with a
motion for sanctions.  Relator has also filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this original
proceeding.  
	We have carefully considered the motion for sanctions.  Based on our review of the
pleadings and record, we find the motion is not frivolous.  Nevertheless, the motion, as it
pertains to this original proceeding, is DENIED.  We are confident that the trial court will
take any steps deemed necessary to ensure that the parties and their counsel strictly
comply with their ethical and professional obligations in further proceedings below.    
	We GRANT relator's motion to dismiss the original proceeding, and, accordingly,
this original proceeding is DISMISSED.
