In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Alexandra Smoots-Hogan, presiding judge of the 164th District Court of Harris County, to vacate her (1) February 18, 2014 order denying their motion quash subpoena and motion for protective order; and (2) April 2, 2014 order denying their motion for reconsideration.
Relators have not shown that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators' petition for writ of mandamus. We also lift our stay entered on April 8, 2014.
