MEMORANDUM OPINION

Memorandum Opinion PER CURIAM[fn1]. [fn1] See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(d) ("When denying relief, the court may hand down an opinion but is not required to do so."); Tex. R. App. P. 47.4 (distinguishing opinions and memorandum opinions).

Relators, Rio Queen Citrus, Inc. and Elmore Stahl, Inc, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on April 17, 2009. On April 22, 2009, the Court entered an order requesting a response to be filed by the real parties in interest, Maria Alicia Meza, individually and as representative of the estate of Francisco R. Meza; Sergio Meza; Maria Guadalupe Meza; and Juanita Alicia Ortiz. Subsequently, the real parties in interest requested and received an extension of time to file their response, and such response was duly filed on May 20, 2009. On May 22, 2009, relators filed a reply to this response.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, the response, and the reply thereto, is of the opinion that relators have not shown themselves entitled to the relief sought. See, e.g., In re Poly-America, L.P., 262 S.W.3d 337, 348 (Tex. 2008) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
