COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS ———————————— No. 08-25-00339-CV ———————————— In re Boss Lady Pub & Maria Elena Olvera

AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN MANDAMUS

M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N Relators, Boss Lady Pub and Maria Elena Olvera, filed a petition for writ of mandamus on

December 31, 2025, asking this Court to order the “trial court to allow and proceed on” a bill of

exception.

A relator seeking mandamus relief must establish that the trial court failed to perform a

ministerial duty or committed a clear abuse of discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate

remedy by way of appeal. See In re UpCurve Energy Parters, LLC, 632 S.W.3d 254, 256 (Tex.

App.—El Paso 2021, orig. proceeding); In re Phillips, 496 S.W.3d 769, 774 (Tex. 2016); In re

Nationwide Ins. Co. of Am., 494 S.W.3d 708, 712 (Tex. 2016) (orig. proceeding). After

consideration, the Court has determined that Relators have not shown that they are entitled to the

relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. LISA J. SOTO, Justice
