in Re: Critter Control, Inc. and Kevin Clark

Opinion

Denied and Opinion Filed December 14, 2015.

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-01406-CV

IN RE CRITTER CONTROL, INC. AND KEVIN CLARK, Relators

Original Proceeding from the 162nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-05281

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Myers, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Myers In this petition for writ of mandamus relators request that the Court order the trial court to

strike the general denial filed on its behalf by the law firm Kane Russell Coleman & Logan PC,

reinstate the special appearance filed on its behalf by the law firm Thompson, Coe, Cousins &

Irons, L.L.P. and determine the special appearance on its merits. Ordinarily, to obtain mandamus

relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that

relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36

(Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). We conclude relators have not established a right to relief. We

deny the petition.
