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).
