IN RE MICHAEL DAVID BELLOW JR.

________________________________________________________________________

Original Proceeding 356th District Court of Hardin County, Texas Trial Cause No. 54996 ________________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Michael David Bellow Jr. petitioned for a writ of mandamus to compel the

trial court to vacate a sanctions order that was signed two days after the trial court

signed a decree of divorce. To be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must

establish that the trial court committed a clear abuse of discretion and that no

adequate remedy by appeal is available. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d

124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). Here,

Bellow has not met his burden to show that the sanctions order is void, or to show

1 that his complaints regarding the order cannot be addressed in an appeal.

Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition.

PETITION DENIED.
