Before Justices Silva, Peña, and West
Order Per Curiam
Relators Darwin J. Darilek and Pauletta J. Darilek have filed a petition for writ of
mandamus asserting that: (1) the district clerk has a clear ministerial duty under Texas
Rule of Civil Procedure 99(a) to issue citation upon relators’ request and has failed to do
so; and (2) this failure entitles relators to a writ of mandamus compelling performance of
that duty. This original proceeding joins an appeal pending in this Court in our cause
number 13-25-00631-CV, Darwin J. Darilek and Pauletta J. Darilek v. George Ely Fort et
al.
We order the real parties in interest, Meagan Campion, RE/MAX LLC, George Ely

of ten days from the date of this order. See TEX . R. A PP . P. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
