IN RE TONY’S BARBECUE AND STEAKHOUSE, INC., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
61st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2013-55732

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On March 27, 2023, relator Tony’s Barbecue and Steakhouse, Inc. filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see
also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the
Honorable Fredericka Phillips, presiding judge of the 61st District Court of Harris
County, to vacate the December 16, 2022 partial judgment, award relator attorney
fees for contesting real party in interest’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the
verdict, and enter judgment on the jury’s verdict.

Relator has not established that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly,
we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Wise and Jewell.
