On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Benavides and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
Relator Debra V. Benge filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause
on May 31, 2018 contending that the trial court abused its discretion by abating the
underlying case for an indefinite period. Through this original proceeding, relator seeks
to set aside the May 7, 2018 order of abatement. The Court requests that the real parties
in interest, Margaret A. Thomas, individually and as co-trustee of the Thomas Family
Trust; Frank W. Burns III, individually and as co-trustee of the Thomas Family Trust; and
Dinah Voelkel, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought,
file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days
from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
1st day of June, 2018.
