Court of Appeals of Texas, Fourteenth District

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS Harris County, Texas
Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Hassan and Poissant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM.
On September 24, 2021, relators Steven Hotze, M.D., Hononable Sid Miller, Gerry Monroe, Randolph Price, Alan Hartman, Alan Vera, and Gregory Blume filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Elec. Code Ann. § 273.061. In the petition, relators complain that Isabel Longoria, Elections Administrator, Harris County, Texas, is sending applications to vote by mail to all registered voters age 65 and older. Relators ask this court to compel Longoria to send applications to vote by mail only to those who request them.
Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators' petition for writ of mandamus. We also dismiss Longoria's motion to dismiss as moot.
