In Re R Wayne Johnson v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Opinion issued April 30, 2024

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

Court in Fort Bend County, Texas. In particular, relator contends that respondents failed to supervise their clerks.2 To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must establish that the trial court abused its discretion and the relator lacks an adequate remedy by appeal. See Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004). Relator does not explain what actions or omissions by the trial court constituted an abuse of discretion. See id. Moreover, relator has failed to provide a sufficient record supporting his allegations. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). Accordingly, relator has not established his entitlement to mandamus relief.

We deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Hightower.

2 The underlying case is R. Wayne Johnson v. Bobby Lumkin, et. al, cause number 22-DCV-292489, pending in the 458th District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas, the Honorable Chad Bridges presiding.
