DENY; and Opinion Filed April 14, 2014.
S
Court of Appeals
In The
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00388-CV
IN RE DOROTHEA E. H. LASTER, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-06-08087-Z
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Lewis
Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus alleging that the trial court has abused its
discretion in refusing to authorize payment of the bills she has submitted as court appointed counsel
for a parent in a parental rights termination suit. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so
we need not recount them herein. Based on the record before us, and taking all the facts in relator’s
petition as true, we conclude as a matter of law that relator has not shown she is entitled to the relief
requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992)
(orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
