Opinion issued October 24, 2017 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-17-00137-CV ——————————— IN RE TERRA ENERGY PARTNERS, LLC, BENJAMIN “B.J.” REYNOLDS, MARK MEWSHAW, AND WES HOBBS, Relators Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus MEMORANDUM OPINION In this suit for misappropriation of trade secrets and other causes of action,1 the relators and defendants below, Terra Energy Partners, LLC, Benjamin “B.J.” Reynolds, Mark Mewshaw, and Wes Hobbs (collectively, “Terra Energy”), sought to compel real parties in interest and plaintiffs below, Sanchez Oil & Gas Corp., 1 The underlying case is Sanchez Oil & Gas Corp. et al. v. Terra Energy Partners, LLC et al., cause number 2016-18909, pending in the 11th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Hon. Kristen Hawkins presiding. Sanchez Energy Corp., and Sanchez Production Partners, LP, to produce additional responses to certain interrogatories. Terra Energy asks that we issue a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to vacate its order denying Terra Energy’s motion for reconsideration of the denial of this discovery. After reviewing the mandamus record, we conclude that Terra Energy failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion in denying Terra Energy’s motion to reconsider. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (providing that mandamus is extraordinary remedy granted only when relator shows that trial court abused its discretion and that no adequate appellate remedy exists). We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. We lift our temporary stay entered on March 2, 2017. All pending motions are dismissed as moot. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Keyes and Caughey. 2
