IN RE JAY SANDON COOPER AND TERESA WARD COOPER, Relators


Original Proceeding from the Local Administrative Law Judge Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. Not Assigned, Petition not Filed

Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, and Goldstein

MEMORANDUM OPINION

BONNIE LEE GOLDSTEIN JUSTICE

In this petition for writ of mandamus, relators challenge the trial court's order denying relator Jay Sandon Cooper, a vexatious litigant, permission to file an original proceeding as an intervenor with his wife, Teresa Ward Cooper named as the petitioner. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires a relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

Based on our review of the petition, we conclude that relators have failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
