in Re: Sandra Crenshaw ( 2019 )

DENIED; Opinion Filed August 29, 2019.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00979-CV
IN RE SANDRA CRENSHAW, Relator
Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 5
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-08-03187-H
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Myers, Nowell, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Nowell
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus complaining that the Dallas
County Local Administrative Judge has refused to rule on her request for a prefiling order allowing
her to proceed with a petition in the justice court.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, relator must show that the trial court has clearly abused
its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am.,
148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition and
mandamus record, we conclude relator has not shown she is entitled to the relief requested.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.
52.8(a)(the court must deny the petition if court determines relator is not entitled to relief sought).
