IN RE FLEET PRIDE, INC., ET AL., Relators
Original Proceeding from the 68th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-19366
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Reichek, and Browning
Opinion by Justice Osborne
Relators' September 4, 2020 petition for writ of mandamus asks us to compel the trial court to vacate its order denying their motion to join a decedent's estate as a necessary party in the underlying personal injury lawsuit. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relators have no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the petition, real parties in interest's response, relators' reply, and the record before us, we conclude that relators have failed to show their entitlement to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
