Texas Supreme Court February 1, 2001, 99-1268 (In Re Canales)

Justice ENOCH

delivered the opinion of the Court.

In these consolidated mandamus petitions, we must decide whether real party in interest Cynthia Barrera’s objection to a visiting judge under section 74.053 of the Texas Government Code was timely although not made until after the judge had heard and ruled on pretrial matters in the case.
