IN RE CONTRACT FREIGHTERS, INC. d/b/a CFI, and Randall Scott Folks, Relators
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2020-CVA-001648D3, styled Jimmy McPherson and Paula McPherson v. Contract Freighters, Inc. d/b/a CFI, and Randall Scott Folks, pending in the 341st Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas, the Honorable Rebecca Ramirez Palomo presiding. --------
Relators have filed a petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief. We have the power to issue writs of mandamus, but only when "agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs." TEX. GOV'T CODE § 22.221(b). For mandamus, a relator has the burden to file a petition and record showing "the trial court abused its discretion and that no adequate appellate remedy exists" In re H.E.B. Grocery Co., L.P., 492 S.W.3d 300, 302 (Tex. 2016) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Having reviewed the petition and documents included in the appendix, we conclude relators have not satisfied their burden. Accordingly, we deny the petition and motion for temporary relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
