IN RE JOSHUA LAPAUL WALTON, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-15-19709
MEMORANDUM OPINION ON REHEARING
Before Justices Schenck, Partida-Kipness, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Nowell
On the Court's own motion we vacate our opinion and order of January 24, 2020. The following is now the opinion of the Court.
Before the Court is relator's January 8, 2020 petition for writ of mandamus challenging certain orders and actions by the associate judge in the underlying suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Relator's petition does not comply with the requirements for filing a petition for mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3. Further, entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition and mandamus record, we conclude relator has failed to show he is entitled to the relief requested.
Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
