                             WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                               County Court at Law
                               Waller County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. 20-08-23606

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      October 26, 2023, relator Debra Louise McLeod filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App.
P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Robert J. Kern,
presiding judge of the County Court at Law of Waller County, to (1) vacate his
September 27, 2023 order severing Debra’s claims against third parties; and (2)
consolidate Debra’s claims against third-party defendants as stated in her second
amended counter-petition in the underlying suit for divorce.

      Relator has not shown that she is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly,
we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny relator’s motion for
temporary relief.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Jewell and Zimmerer.
