NUMBER 13-12-00444-CV

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

IN RE JOHN JAMES HARKINS, ET AL.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam1

Relators2 have filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which they argue that respondent, the Honorable Stephen Williams, Presiding Judge of the 267th Judicial District Court of Goliad County, Texas, abused his discretion, leaving relators without an adequate appellate remedy, by denying relators’ “Motion to Secure Production Revenues in the Registry of the Court” on June 25, 2012.

Having reviewed and fully considered relators’ petition and the response filed by the real party in interest, North Shore Energy, L.L.C., we conclude that relators have not shown themselves entitled to the relief sought and the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.

PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the

1st day of August, 2012.
