IN RE VHS SAN ANTONIO PARTNERS, LLC d/b/a St. Luke's Baptist Hospital

Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

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

Delivered and Filed: May 6, 2026

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

On March 30, 2026, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. 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 by way of

appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). After

considering the petition and the record, this court concludes relator has not shown that it is entitled

to the relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 52.8(a).
