Petition for Writ of Mandamus Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed March 31, 2016. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-16-00220-CV IN RE MONCRIEF PARTNERS, L.P., RWM 1988 TRUST, TOM. O. MONCRIEF 1967 TRUST, CB MONCRIEF OIL & GAS, LLC, AND MONCRIEF OIL & GAS MASTER, LLC, Relators ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 295th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2015-58899 MEMORANDUM OPINION On March 17, 2016, relators Moncrief Partners, L.P., RWM 1988 Trust, Tom O. Moncrief 1967 Trust, CB Moncrief Oil & Gas, LLC, and Moncrief Oil & Gas Master, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Caroline Baker, presiding judge of the 295th District Court of Harris County, to vacate the February 22, 2016 final judgment in the underlying case. Relators filed an amended notice of appeal in this court on February 24, 2016, which raises identical issues and seeks reversal of the same judgment.1 Therefore, relators have an adequate remedy by appeal. See In re Sec. Nat’l Ins., No. 14-11-00013-CV, 2011 WL 332712, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Feb. 3, 2011, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (holding that the relator had an adequate remedy by appeal because the trial court had entered a final judgment on the order, which was the subject of the mandamus proceeding). Relators have not shown that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and Wise. 1 See Moncrief Partners, L.P., et al. v. Darrell Dwayne Bennett, et al., No. 14-16-00004- CV. 2
