IN RE MELISSA LARSEN, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 101st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-05693

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Fillmore, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Fillmore In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to

enter relator’s confession of judgment as a final judgment. To be entitled to 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). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown she is entitled to

the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to

the relief sought).
