IN RE TST IMPRESO, INC, Relator
Original Proceeding from the U{fl Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No.ll-00890
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Fillmore
Opinion by Justice Francis
Before the Court is relator's January 10, 2013 petition for writ of mandamus. In its petition,
relator contends the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to partially lift its May 8, 2011
protective order. In particular, relator maintains that by refusing to partially lift the protective order
so relator could comply with the federal court's November 8, 2012 order to compel, the trial court
violated the principles of comity and subjected relator to contempt in federal court. The facts and
issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Considering the record
before the trial court when it signed its August 31, 2012 order, we cannot conclude the trial court
abused its discretion.· See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); In re Prudential Ins. Co. ofAm., 148 S.W.3d 124,
135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we DENY relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
