In re Roberto Rubio Morales and Maria Del Rosario Betancourt

AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN MANDAMUS

M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N

After considering Relators’ petition for writ of mandamus and the response of Real Party

in Interest, we have determined that Relators have failed to show their entitlement to mandamus

relief. See In re Kappmeyer, 668 S.W.3d 651, 654 (Tex. 2023) (orig. proceeding) (“Mandamus

relief is an extraordinary remedy requiring the relator to show that (1) the trial court clearly abused

its discretion and (2) the relator lacks an adequate remedy by appeal.”). Accordingly, the petition

is DENIED.

We ORDER the stay imposed by our January 7, 2026 order lifted, and we deny all pending

motions as moot.
