Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators have filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, challenging an order
granting a temporary injunction.1 To obtain mandamus relief, relators must show
that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and they have no adequate remedy
by appeal. In re Team Rocket, L.P., 256 S.W.3d 257, 259 (Tex. 2008) (orig.
proceeding) (citing In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–40 (Tex.
2004) (orig. proceeding)). Section 51.014(a)(4) of the Civil Practices and Remedies
Code provides for an interlocutory appeal from an order granting a temporary
injunction. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(4) (West Supp. 2016).
An interlocutory appeal provides an adequate remedy. See In re Henry, 274 S.W.3d
185, 189 n.2 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, orig. proceeding [mand. denied]).
Because they may appeal the temporary injunction as provided for by section
51.014(a)(4), relators have an adequate remedy by appeal and have not established
entitlement to mandamus relief. See In re Willard Capital Corp., No. 14-16-00613-
CV, 2016 WL 4205806, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 9, 2016, orig.
proceeding) (mem. op.)
Accordingly, we deny the petition.
