in Re: Melissa Larsen ( 2022 )

Denied and Opinion Filed November 4, 2022
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-01062-CV
IN RE MELISSA LARSEN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 101st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-04344
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns and Justices Partida-Kipness and Smith
Opinion by Justice Partida-Kipness
In this original proceeding, relator challenges the trial court’s order denying
relator’s motion to release an abstract of judgment. Relator seeks a writ of mandamus
ordering the trial court to vacate that order and either (1) render a judgment that
“partially removes the Abstract of Judgment recorded by AC Square only as to the
Property” or (2) “enter an order designating the Property as Relator Melissa Larsen’s
homestead.”
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 relator has not shown she is entitled to
the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833,
839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for
writ of mandamus.
