                                Original Proceeding
________________________________________________________________________

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Jodie Strain and Ameritox, Ltd. filed a mandamus petition seeking relief

from orders compelling production of a privilege log of communications between

Strain and Ameritox’s lawyers or between Strain’s lawyers and Ameritox or

Ameritox’s lawyers, and compelling production of any agreements or evidence of

payments between Strain’s lawyers and Ameritox or its lawyers. We stayed the

trial court’s orders and requested a response from the real party in interest,

Millennium Laboratories, Inc.

      After reviewing the record and briefs submitted by the parties, we conclude

that the relators have not shown that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. See

                                           1
In re XL Specialty Ins. Co., 373 S.W.3d 46, 51-52 (Tex. 2012); see also Tex. R.

Civ. P. 193.3(c), Tex. R. Evid. 503(b)(1)(C). Accordingly, we lift our order of

October 3, 2013, and deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

      PETITION DENIED.
