________________________________________________________________________

                              Original Proceeding
              418th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas
                       Trial Cause No. 17-03-03917-CV
________________________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      In this mandamus proceeding, L.F. and E.F.S. seek to compel the trial court

to enter an order denying the ad litem attorney’s motion to change the trial date and

granting Relators’ motion to stay the trial of the parental-rights termination case

pending the resolution of criminal proceedings. See generally Tex. Fam. Code Ann.

§ 161.2011 (West 2014). After reviewing the petition, we conclude that Relators

have not established a clear abuse of discretion by the trial court. See Walker v.

Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, the

petition for a writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
