                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      A petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief filed by

Marcelino Rodriguez, Donna Jean Forgas, Linda Marie Wiltz Gilmore and Jock

Wagner seeks to compel the trial court to vacate its order of October 21, 2013,

which rescheduled an election. A writ of mandamus may be issued to correct a

clear abuse of discretion when that abuse cannot be remedied by appeal. In re

Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v.

Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). After reviewing the mandamus record

                                      1
 
 
 

and petition, we conclude that the relators have not demonstrated that they are

entitled to mandamus relief. We deny the petition for writ of mandamus and the

motion for temporary relief.

      PETITION DENIED.
