IN RE M.P., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS County Court at Law No. 3 Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 23-FD-1384

MEMORANDUM MAJORITY OPINION

On September 22, 2023, relator M.P. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Emily Fisher, associate judge of the County Court at Law No. 3 of Galveston County, to vacate her August 29, 2023 order dismissing the underlying proceeding. Generally, to be entitled to mandamus relief, relator must establish that (1) the trial court abused its discretion; and (2) relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Christianson Air Conditioning & Plumbing, LLC, 639 S.W.3d 671, 681 (Tex. 2022) (orig. proceeding). The trial court dismissed the case in its entirety. Therefore, there is a final judgment and relator has an adequate remedy by appeal.

Relator has not established that she is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Spain, and Wilson (Spain, J., dissenting).
