Background and Procedural Posture

Six companies—Storable, Inc.; RedNova Labs, Inc. (doing business as storEDGE); SitelinkSoftware, LLC; Easy Storage Solutions, LLC; Bader Co.; and Property First Group, LP—filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Fifteenth Court of Appeals seeking review of a decision from Business Court Division 3A in Travis County. The underlying trial court case was designated 25-BC03A-0001.

The Mandamus Petition and Its Dismissal

Rather than proceeding with briefing and argument on the merits of their mandamus petition, the relators filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the original proceeding under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a). The Fifteenth Court of Appeals granted that motion in a brief memorandum opinion issued October 2, 2025, stating simply:

Relators filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this original proceeding. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a). The motion is granted. We dismiss this petition for writ of mandamus.

The opinion provides no detail regarding the nature of the Business Court ruling that prompted the mandamus petition, the legal issues the relators sought to raise, or the reasons the parties agreed to dismiss the proceeding.

Observations

While this memorandum opinion offers no substantive guidance on Business Court procedure or commercial law, it documents an appellate filing arising from Business Court Division 3A. The case shows that parties are seeking mandamus relief from Business Court rulings in the courts of appeals. The unopposed nature of the dismissal motion indicates the parties agreed to withdraw the mandamus petition, though the record does not reveal why. The panel consisted of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Field and Farris.
