IN RE KETTAN PATEL, BHARAT PATEL, AND JAYESH PATEL, Relators

Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-00572

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Osborne, Partida-Kipness, and Smith Opinion by Justice Osborne Relators’ March 1, 2022 petition for writ of mandamus challenges the trial

court’s order granting real parties in interest’s motion to compel discovery of

financial information. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that

the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that they have no adequate

appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004)

(orig. proceeding).

Based on the record before us, we conclude relators have not shown their

entitlement to the relief requested. See In re Rowes, No. 05-14-00606-CV, 2014 WL

2452723, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 30, 2014, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (noting that “[a] court cannot grant mandamus relief unless the error was raised in

the trial court,” and that a party seeking mandamus “must direct the Court to where

the argument was presented to the trial court”). Accordingly, we deny the petition

for writ of mandamus.
