Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

Our review of Estep’s mandamus petition reflects that she has failed to establish that she is entitled to mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a)(1); see also Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992). Accordingly, we deny Estep’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We further dismiss all pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Guerra and Farris.
