ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
234th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2012-32539
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On October 20, 2014, relators BP America Production Company, BP
Exploration & Production Inc., and BP Products North America Inc. filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable
Wesley Ward, presiding judge of the 234th District Court of Harris County, to
vacate four orders denying relators’ motions to obtain discovery of certain
information.
Relators have not satisfied their burden to demonstrate entitlement to
mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Jamison, and Donovan.
