Fourth Court of Appeals
                                         San Antonio, Texas
                                                October 4, 2023

                                             No. 04-23-00623-CR

                          IN RE Miguel Angel BELTRAN BARRERA et al.

                                             Original Proceeding 1

                                                     ORDER

      On June 27, 2023, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relators also filed a
motion to stay the underlying proceedings pending final resolution of the petition for writ of
mandamus, which this court granted on June 30, 2023.

        After considering the petition and this record, this court concludes relators are not entitled
to the relief sought. See In re Sanchez, No. 04-23-00539-CR, 2023 WL 5274643, at *3-4 (Tex.
App.—San Antonio Aug. 16, 2023, orig. proceeding) (denying mandamus petition without
prejudice where relators failed to show trial court’s denial of their motions for continuance
amounted to a violation of due process); In re Santiago Villalobos, No. 04-23-00538-CR, 2023
WL 4750833, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio July 26, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)
(Martinez, C.J., concurring). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). The stay imposed on June 30, 2023 is
LIFTED.

        It is so ORDERED on October 4, 2023.

                                                                       _____________________________
                                                                       Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 4th day of October, 2023.

                                                                       _____________________________
