Criminal Law-Municipal Ordinance Violation-Writ of Prohibition
Staff Report//June 4, 2026//
Relator sought a permanent writ of prohibition ordering the trial court to set aside its order denying relator’s request for a jury trial in his prosecution for a municipal ordinance violation.
Where relator had the right to a jury trial in the trial de novo after making a timely request, the trial court lacked authority to deny his request.
Writ made permanent.
