IN RE LEXINGTON INSURANCE COMPANY


Original Proceeding
136th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. D-196093

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Lexington Insurance Company, Relator, petitioned for a writ of mandamus compelling the trial court to grant a permissive appeal. A trial court abuses its discretion if it reaches a decision so arbitrary and unreasonable it amounts to a clear and prejudicial error of law or it clearly fails to correctly analyze or apply the law. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex.1992) (orig. proceeding). "Mandamus relief is only appropriate when the relators have established that only one outcome in the trial court was permissible under the law." In re Murrin Bros. 1885, Ltd., No. 18-0737, 2019 WL 6971663, at *2 (Tex. Dec. 20, 2019) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition and appendix, we conclude Relator has failed to establish a clear abuse of discretion by the trial court. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PETITION DENIED.
