IN RE CELINA JEAN HARP, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
345th District Court Travis County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. D-1-AG-15-002375
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On April 15, 2020, relator Celina Jean Harp filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Supp.); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Eric Shepperd, presiding judge of the 345th District Court of Travis County, to vacate his protective order signed on January 29, 2020.
Relator has also filed a motion for temporary relief, asking our court to stay the protective order pending our decision on the petition. See Tex. R. App. Proc. 52.10.
With certain exceptions not applicable here, to obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator has no adequate remedy at law, such as an appeal. In re Garza, 544 S.W.3d 836, 840 (Tex. 2018) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam); In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).
Because relator has not shown she is entitled to mandamus relief, we deny her petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.
