IN RE STEVEN DAVIDSON, IN HIS CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE PETER DEMOORE TRUST, Relator
Original Proceeding from the Probate Court No. 2 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. PR-21-02976-2
Before Justices Myers, Nowell, and Goldstein.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
ERIN A. NOWELL JUSTICE.
Before the Court is relator's August 4, 2022 petition seeking a writ of mandamus compelling the probate court to vacate its July 28, 2022 Interim Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Trust Distributions to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses.
Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re The Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing relator's petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator has failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We also lift the stay issued by this Court's August 4, 2022 Order.
