           On October 10, 2017, Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator also filed an

emergency motion for stay. On October 12, 2017, this court granted Relator’s motion and stayed

all proceedings at the trial court. Real party in interest filed a response to the petition for writ of

mandamus, to which Relator filed a reply. On November 29, 2017, this case was submitted by

oral argument to this court.

           The court has considered the pleadings filed by the parties with the court, the argument of

counsel, record, and the relevant law, and is of the opinion that the Relator is not entitled to the

relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See Tex. R. App. P.

52.8(a). The stay granted by this Court on October 12, 2017 is hereby LIFTED.

           It is so ORDERED on November 29, 2017.
