Opinion
DENY and Opinion Filed April 26, 2022
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00813-CV
IN RE TERESA WARD COOPER, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-00556-2021
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Nowell, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Nowell In this original proceeding, relator challenges the trial court’s refusal to rule
on her “Application for Peremptory Writ of Mandamus, and For Appointment of
District Clerk Pro Tempore.” Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to
show that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that she has no adequate
appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004)
(orig. proceeding).
After reviewing the petition and the record, we conclude that relator has failed
to show an abuse of discretion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we deny
the petition for writ of mandamus, and we lift the stay issued by our September 22,
2021 order. Also pending before the Court is relator’s September 28, 2021 motion for
contempt. Because we conclude that relator is not entitled to such relief, we deny the
motion.
