      On February 15, 2023, relators Chelette Baker, Samantha Garcia, and Karmen

Schuster filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel the trial court to either

alternatively, “to require the trial court to accomplish the assignment of this case to a

statutory probate court judge.” We request the real parties in interest, Annie Findley

Jones, independent administrator of the estate of Harold Jack Findley; Luther Hotel, Inc.;

be directly affected by the relief sought, to file a response to the petition for writ of

mandamus within ten days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.4, 52.8.
