                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 26, 2019, relators Derick L. Weatherspoon and Waste
Connections of Texas, LLC 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, relators
ask this court to compel the Honorable Tanya Garrison, presiding judge of the 157th
District Court of Harris County, to set aside her September 19, 2019 order striking a
counter-affidavit served by relators. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann.
§ 18.001.

      Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.

                                 PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Zimmerer, Spain, and Hassan.
