Deny and Opinion Filed April 14, 2014
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00398-CV
IN RE DOROTHEA E. H. LASTER, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-11-12980-Z, DF-11-00657-Z
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Francis
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. Based on the record before us, we
conclude 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.
