IN RE MARIA CRISTINA NEWALL DE KALLOP, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Probate Court No. 4
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 475,050
MEMORANDUM O P I N I O N
Relator Maria Cristina Newall de Kallop has filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App.
P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable James Horwitz,
presiding judge of the Probate Court No. 4 of Harris County, to vacate his Order
Granting Motion to Compel and Order Denying Motion to Quash and Motion for
Protection, both signed on January 6, 2020.
Relator has failed to show she is entitled to mandamus relief. We therefore
deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.1
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Spain and Bourliot.

On February 12, 2020, Mrs. Kallop filed a motion asking our court to strike and not consider the
documents included as Tabs 2, 13, and 14 in the Appendix to Real Parties’ response because these
documents were not before the Probable Court when it made its rulings. We grant this motion and have not
considered these documents in deciding relator’s petition. See In re Methodist Primary Care Grp., 553
S.W.3d 709, 720 n.2 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2018, orig. proceeding).
