IN RE SAN JACINTO RIVER AUTHORITY, Relator


ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
County Civil Court at Law No. 2 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1108033

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On July 3, 2018, relator San Jacinto River Authority filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp. 2017); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Theresa Chang, presiding judge of the County Civil Court at Law No. 2 of Harris County, to vacate her order dated May 1, 2018 granting plaintiffs' petition for a pre-suit deposition, and dismiss plaintiffs' action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

To obtain mandamus relief, a relator generally must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Relator has not shown that the trial court clearly abused its discretion.

We therefore deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Christopher, and Donovan.
