PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

           On June 15, 2021, Relators Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. (“ERCOT”) and

William L. “Bill” Magness filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this court to direct the trial

court to vacate its order denying ERCOT’s Plea to the Jurisdiction and Amended Motion to

Transfer and issue a new order granting the Plea to the Jurisdiction and Amended Motion to

Transfer Venue and dismissing real party in interest CPS Energy’s claims for lack of jurisdiction,

or, alternatively, transferring the remaining claims, if any, to Travis County, Texas. After

considering the petition and record, this court concludes that Relators are not entitled to the relief

sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
