                                WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                                   23rd District Court

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

       On January 3, 2019, relator Matula & Matula Construction, Inc. filed a

Therefore, relator has not established that it is entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

2018 order. Because Judge Johnson signed the complained-of order, she is the proper respondent. See In
re Schmitz, 285 S.W.3d 541, 543 (Tex. 2009) (orig. proceeding).
