IN RE HOURANI

No. 14-00-00325-CV.

20 S.W.3d 819 (2000)

In re Elie HOURANI and Diana Elmas, Relators.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).

May 31, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John C. Wynne, Houston, for appellant.

Scott D. Cunningham, Michael J. Stanley, Houston, for appellee.

Panel consists of Justices MAURICE E. AMIDEI, ANDERSON and FROST.

OPINION

KEM THOMPSON FROST, Justice.

In this mandamus proceeding, we interpret and apply section 74.053 of the Texas Government Code, which governs a litigant's right to object to assigned judges, commonly referred to as "visiting judges." At issue is whether litigants who become parties after a visiting judge begins to preside in the case have a right to object under this statutory provision.1
