What happens if a Texas court doesn't rule on a Rule 91a motion to dismiss within 45 days?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 3 Texas court opinion(s), including In Re Darren L. Reagan. Technicalities can defeat even the strongest legal arguments. In the Dallas Court of Appeals, a mandamus petition will be summarily denied if the certification does not match the 2026 version of Rule 52.3(k) word-for-word or if the supporting record is not properly authenticated. Always perform a 'procedural audit' to ensure compliance with the latest appellate rule numbering and verbatim requirements.
