2

and d/b/a The Law Offices of Art Dula, J. Buckner Hightower, and the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Prize Trust, through its Trustees Arthur M. Dula and J. Buckner Hightower, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Jeff Shadwick, presiding judge of the 55th District Court of Harris County, to vacate his April 22, 2015 order denying their motion to dismiss based on a forum-selection clause.

Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief.

Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Brown, and Wise.
