MEMORANDUM OPINION
In a petition for a writ of mandamus, Relator Mary Ruffin complains that the
trial court scheduled an unnecessary hearing, reconducted a hearing, and failed to
sanction her opposing party and its attorneys for their non-appearance at a hearing.
Mandamus relief is an extraordinary remedy that issues only to correct a clear
abuse of discretion for which the relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. See In
re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig.
proceeding); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992) (orig.
proceeding). Having reviewed the petition for a writ of mandamus, we conclude that
1 the Relator has not shown that the trial court committed a clear abuse of discretion
from which there is no adequate remedy by appeal. Accordingly, we deny the
petition for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
PETITION DENIED.
PER CURIAM
Submitted on February 19, 2025 Opinion Delivered February 20, 2025
