On August 15, 2018, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining the trial
court had not ruled upon their “Motion to Dismiss.” The real parties in interest filed a response,
to which relators replied. We reviewed the petition, the response, and the reply, and we conclude
relators are entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is
CONDITIONALLY GRANTED. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(c).
The Honorable Michael V. Garcia is ORDERED to rule on relators’ “Motion to Dismiss”
within fifteen days from the date of this order. The writ will issue only if we are notified that
Judge Garcia has not complied within fifteen days from the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED on October 24, 2018.
