IN RE UMTH GENERAL SERVICES, L.P., UMT HOLDINGS, L.P., UMTH LAND DEVELOPMENT, L.P., HOLLIS M. GREENLAW, TODD F. ETTER, BEN L. WISSINK, AND CARA D. OBERT, Relators


Original Proceeding from the 192nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-22-09833

Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Carlyle, and Garcia

MEMORANDUM OPINION

ROBBIE PARTIDA-KIPNESS, JUSTICE

In this original proceeding, relators seek mandamus relief from the trial court's denial of their plea to the jurisdiction, verified plea in abatement, and special exceptions. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that they lack an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing relators' petition, real parties in interest's response, the reply, and the record before us, we conclude that relators have failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We also lift our stay order dated August 8, 2023.
