MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex.R.App.P. 47.4.
The court has considered the "Motion To File Letter Brief" of real party in interest James H. Cashion, Jr., d/b/a American Health Underwriters, and "Relator's Motion For Leave To File Letter Brief In Response." The motions are GRANTED.
Having considered relators' petitions for writ of mandamus, real party in interest's response, and all subsequent briefs, the court is of the opinion that relief should be denied. Accordingly, relators' petitions for writ of mandamus are denied.
Relators shall pay all costs of this original proceeding, for which let execution issue.
