MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam1
Relators, Total Commitment, LLC, and Total Commitment in Ministries, a

so.”).
remedy, by transferring the underlying cause, styled MJJS Corporation v. Total
Commitment, LLC, et al., trial court cause number CL-11-3519-G, to the County Court
at Law No. 8 of Hidalgo County. On February 1, 2013, we granted relators’ request to
stay the underlying proceedings and we ordered the real party in interest, MJJS
Corporation, to file a response. Such a response was filed on February 20, 2013.
Having fully reviewed and considered relators’ petition and real party in interest’s
response, we conclude that the relator has not shown itself entitled to the relief sought
and that the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. Accordingly, we hereby
DENY relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and LIFT the previously-imposed stay of
trial court proceedings.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
25th day of February, 2013.
