IN RE JOHN DARJEAN, Relator


Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-07371

Before Justices Reichek, Goldstein, and Kennedy

MEMORANDUM OPINION

AMANDA L. REICHEK, JUSTICE

Before the Court is relator's May 31, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus. Relator asks this Court to compel the trial court to vacate its May 15, 2024 Order Granting Defendant Shilo Sanders' Amended Motion for Contempt and/or Other Appropriate Relief for Protective Order Violations.

Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). If an order is void, however, a relator need not show it lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Saving Grace #2, LLC, No. 05-23-00745-CV, 2023 WL 6783511, at *3 (Tex. App.-Dallas Oct. 13, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). 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 relator's petition for writ of mandamus. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(A).
