In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-23-01282-CV

IN RE STEPHANIE CLIFFORD, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 422nd Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 100256-422

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III In her December 18, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relator seeks relief

from the trial court’s order denying her motion to dismiss for want of prosecution.

Entitlement to mandamus relief requires a relator to show that the trial court

clearly abused its discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy.

In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig.

proceeding). After reviewing relator’s petition and the record before us, we conclude

that relator has failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).
