                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       In a petition for writ of mandamus, John S. Morgan and John S. Morgan,

P.C., d/b/a Morgan Law Firm, seek to compel the trial court to vacate its order of

August 30, 2013, which denied Relators’ motion to disqualify counsel for the real

parties in interest. The record submitted with the petition consists of documents

concerning other cases, correspondence discussing settlement negotiations, the

motion and supplemental motion Relators filed with the trial court, and the trial

court’s order. The mandamus record does not contain the parties’ live pleadings or

the response filed by the real parties in interest, Harris, Duesler & Hatfield, L.L.P.,

                                          1
James Harris, Jr., and Collin Cobb. Relators have not presented a mandamus

record that includes a copy of all documents material to their claim, which asserts

that the real parties in interest must be disqualified. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a);

see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k). After reviewing the mandamus petition and

record, we conclude that Relators have not established the trial court clearly abused

its discretion. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

      PETITION DENIED.

                                                          PER CURIAM
