ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
270th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2021-24324
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On September 11, 2023, relators C&J Well Services, Inc.; C&J Well
Services, Inc. d/b/a C&J Energy Services; C&J Energy Services, Inc.; Nextier
Oilfield Solutions, Inc. f/k/a C&J Energy Services, Inc.; Nextier Completion
Solutions, Inc.; Basic Energy Services, Inc. d/b/a Bes Holdings Co., Basic Energy
Services, L.P.; Basic Energy Services GP, L.L.C., and Genaro Gonzales, filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221;
see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this Court to compel the
Honorable Dedra Davis, presiding judge of the 270th District Court of Harris
County, to vacate the trial court’s August 29, 2023 order quashing the hearings on
relators’ motions for summary judgment, and order the trial court to rule on
relators’ motions for summary judgment prior to trial.
Relators have not established their entitlement to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for a writ of mandamus. We dismiss as
moot all pending motions. We lift this Court’s November 14, 2023 order staying
the underlying trial proceedings.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Poissant, and Wilson.
