IN RE Vanessa Lynn CLARK

Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Adrian A. Spears II, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 1, 2026

DENIED

Relator, Vanessa Lynn Clark, filed her petition for writ of mandamus and accompanying

record on June 11, 2026. Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, available only when the relator

can show (1) the trial court clearly abused its discretion or violated a duty imposed by law; and (2)

there is no adequate remedy at law, such as an appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40

(Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Having considered the petition, the motion, and the record, this

court concludes Clark has not shown that she is entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the

petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 19-041, styled In the Interest of E.J.S., a Child, pending in the 451st Judicial 1

District Court, Kendall County, Texas, the Honorable Kirsten Cohoon presiding.
