In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-18-00010-CV _________________

IN RE L.F. and E.F.S. ________________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 418th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 17-03-03917-CV ________________________________________________________________________ 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).

PETITION DENIED.
