Original Proceeding.

PANEL A: CAYCE, C.J.; HOLMAN and WALKER, JJ.

MEMORANDUM OPINION ¹

1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4.

PER CURIAM.

The court has considered Relators' Petition for Writ of Mandamus and is of the opinion that the petition should be dismissed because Relators have no standing to challenge Real Party in Interest Wendy Davis' eligibility to seek the nomination of the Democratic Party for State Senator of Texas, Senate District 10. E.g., Brown v. Todd, 53 S.W.3d 297, 302-05 (Tex. 2001); Holland v. Taylor, 153 Tex. 433, 435-36, 270 S.W.2d 219, 220-21 (1954); Yett v. Cook, 115 Tex. 205, 217-20, 281 S.W. 837, 841-42 (1926).

Relators shall pay all costs of this original proceeding, for which let execution issue.
