See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2006). Relators now request that this Court dismiss their petition for writs of mandamus, injunction, and prohibition. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1. W. Kenneth Law, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Law, Justices Puryear and Waldrop Filed: October 20, 2006
