MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

On June 27, 2023, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relators also filed a motion to stay the underlying proceedings pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus, which this court granted on June 30, 2023.

After considering the petition and this record, this court concludes relators are not entitled to the relief sought. See In re Sanchez, No. 04-23-00539-CR, 2023 WL 5274643, at *3-4 (Tex. App.-San Antonio Aug. 16, 2023, orig. proceeding) (denying mandamus petition without prejudice where relators failed to show trial court's denial of their motions for continuance amounted to a violation of due process); In re Santiago Villalobos, No. 04-23-00538-CR, 2023 WL 4750833, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio July 26, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (Martinez, C.J., concurring). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). The stay imposed on June 30, 2023 is lifted.
