IN RE WEINGARTEN REALTY INVESTORS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Hightower, and Rivas-Molloy.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Weingarten Realty Investors filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging the trial court's July 5, 2021 order granting in part the motion to compel filed by real parties in interest, Landry's Seafood Inn & Oyster Bar-Galveston, Inc. ("La Griglia") and Morton's of Chicago/Houston, Inc. ("Morton's"). Weingarten also sought emergency relief.
The underlying case is Landry's Seafood Inn & Oyster Bar-Galveston, Inc. and Morton's of Chicago/Houston, Inc. v. Weingarten Realty Investors and WRI/Post Oak, Inc., cause number 2020-34588, pending in the 151st District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Mike Engelhart presiding.
The Court granted the motion in part, staying the trial court's order, and requested a response. Real parties in interest, Landry's Seafood Inn & Oyster Bar-Galveston, Inc. Landry's LLC, Morton's of Chicago/Houston, Inc., and Morton's of Chicago, Inc., filed a response, and Weingarten filed a reply to the response.
We deny the petition. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). The stay of the trial court's July 5, 2021 order is now lifted.
