IN RE Bill WILBURN

Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice Lori Massey Brissette, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 11, 2026

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

On January 14, 2026, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Mandamus is an

extraordinary remedy, available only when the relator can show (1) the trial court clearly abused

its discretion or violated a duty imposed by law; and (2) there is no adequate remedy by way of

appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). After

considering the petition and the record, this court concludes relator did not show it is entitled to

the relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).

1 This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2025-CI-22967, styled Bill Wilburn v. Gateway Mortgage et al., pending in the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Elizabeth Martinez presiding.
