IN RE MEREDITH JOHNSON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 309th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2017-62105

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 21, 2019, relator Meredith Johnson filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Supp.); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Linda Dunston, presiding judge of the 309th District Court of Harris County, to vacate the portion of her May 9, 2019 order denying Meredith’s motion to decline jurisdiction under section 152.207 of the Texas Family Code.

To obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding); In re Garza, 544 S.W.3d 836, 840 (Tex. 2018) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Relator has not shown that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. We therefore deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Hassan.
