IN RE ANDREW WILKERSON, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 301st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-19-21377

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Smith Opinion by Justice Smith In this original proceeding, relator challenges the trial court’s contempt order

in the underlying suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Entitlement to

mandamus relief requires 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 and the record, we conclude that relator

has failed to show his entitlement to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
