in Re: Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A, Inc. ( 2017 )

Denied and Opinion Filed November 21, 2017
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-17-01293-CV
IN RE TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION AND
TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A, INC., Relators
Original Proceeding from the 134th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-15296
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Myers, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
In this original proceeding, relators seek relief from the trial court’s November 2, 2017
order compelling relators to respond to certain discovery requests. To be entitled to mandamus
relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that
relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36
(Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we conclude relators have not
established that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. Accordingly, we deny relators’
petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if
the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
