IN RE STEPHANIE CLIFFORD, Relator


Original Proceeding from the 422nd Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 100256-422

Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel

MEMORANDUM OPINION

BILL PEDERSEN, III JUSTICE

In her December 18, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relator seeks relief from the trial court's order denying her motion to dismiss for want of prosecution.

Entitlement to mandamus relief requires a relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re 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).
