                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      In a petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition, Carol Ann Davis asks

that we compel the judge of the 359th District Court of Montgomery County to

stay her trial pending the Court’s resolution of Davis’s appeal of the denial of her

pre-trial application for a writ of habeas corpus. 1 After reviewing the petition and

appendix, we conclude Davis has failed to establish that the trial court either

denied a motion that it had a ministerial duty to grant or refused to rule on a motion

publication).

properly filed and before the court. Davis has not shown that she has a clear right

to the relief sought under “unequivocal, well-settled . . . and clearly controlling

legal principles.” Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009).

Accordingly, we deny the petition. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

      PETITION DENIED.
