COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN RE AMERICANOS, U.S.A., L.L.C.,
GREYHOUND LINES, INC., AND IRMA MORADO
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
On August 3, 2012, relators, Americanos U.S.A., L.L.C., Greyhound Lines, Inc.,
and Irma Morado filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which they alleged that
respondent, the Honorable Migdalia Lopez, presiding judge of the 197th Judicial District
Court of Cameron County, Texas, abused her discretion by denying relators’ plea in
abatement and oral motion to stay in trial court cause number 2010-03-001717-C,
styled Daniel Campos, et al. v. Americanos U.S.A., L.L.C, et al., on August 3, 2012.
Relators also filed an emergency motion for stay of proceedings in which they stated
that a jury trial is scheduled to begin in the cause on August 6, 2012. Relators
requested that this Court stay the August 6, 2012 trial setting pending disposition of
their petition for writ of mandamus.
On August 3, 2012, this Court ordered a stay of proceedings in cause number
2010-03-001717-C and requested a response by the real parties-in-interest. On August
8, 2012, real parties in interest filed a response. The Court, having examined and fully
considered the petition for writ of mandamus, response, and documents on file, is of the
opinion that relators have not shown themselves to be entitled to the relief sought.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby DENIED and the stay granted
on August 3, 2012 in trial court cause number 2010-03-001717-C is hereby LIFTED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
9th day of August, 2012.
