IN RE MEREDITH JOHNSON, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
309th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2017-62105
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We withdraw our opinion of June 18, 2019, and issue this corrected opinion.
On May 21, 2019, relator Meredith Johnson filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Supp.); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Linda Dunson, presiding judge of the 309th District Court of Harris County, to vacate the portion of her May 9, 2019 order denying Meredith's motion to decline jurisdiction under section 152.207 of the Texas Family Code.
To obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding); In re Garza, 544 S.W.3d 836, 840 (Tex. 2018) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Relator has not shown that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. We therefore deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Hassan.
