in Re: John David Palmer ( 2022 )

DENY and Opinion Filed February 14, 2022
In the
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-00081-CV
IN RE JOHN DAVID PALMER, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 397th Judicial District Court
Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CV-21-1521
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
Relator’s January 31, 2022 petition for writ of mandamus challenges the trial
court’s refusal to issue a citation under section 87.016(c) of the Texas Local
Government Code to remove a county judge from office. To be entitled to mandamus
relief, relator must demonstrate that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion
and that he has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d
124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).
Based on our review of the petition and the record before us, we conclude that
relator has failed to show his entitlement to the relief requested. Accordingly, we
deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
