IN RE RICHARD H. PARKER, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
247th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2012-13073
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 22, 2014, relator Richard H. Parker filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App.
P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this Court to compel the Honorable Bonnie Crane
Hellums, presiding judge of the 247th District Court of Harris County, to vacate an
order holding relator in criminal and civil contempt, and to vacate the underlying
temporary orders upon which the contempt judgment is based. Also on January 22,
2014, relator filed a motion for emergency relief, asking this Court to stay any
commitment proceedings, commitment of relator, and all trial proceedings pending
this Court’s disposition of his petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P.
52.10.
Relator has not satisfied his burden to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus
relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny
as moot relator’s motion for emergency relief.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices McCally, Busby, and Donovan.
