                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 22, 2019, relator the Estate of Elizabeth Betty Jean Wilwerding
Through its Personal Representative Carol Sousa filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App.
P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Mike
Engelhart, presiding judge of the 151st District Court of Harris County, to strike the
current arbitrator and hold an evidentiary hearing concerning whether the decedent
had the capacity to sign the contract at issue or whether the contract is void.

      Relator has not established that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly,
we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

                                   PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
