in Re: Olafallart Gipon and Jennifer Gipon ( 2020 )

Denied and Opinion Filed January 21, 2020
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-01344-CV
IN RE OLAFALLART GIPON AND JENNIFER GIPON, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 304th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. JC-17-00584
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Myers, Molberg, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Molberg
Before the Court is relator’s November 4, 2019 petition for writ of mandamus complaining
about the trial court’s dismissal of their amended motion to modify the parent-child relationship.
In their petition, relators request this Court to order the trial court to return the children to relators,
instruct the trial court to reinstate the case, and instruct the trial court to apply the correct law in
relator’s motion to modify. To be entitled to mandamus relief, relator must show both that the trial
court has clearly abused its discretion and that relators have no adequate appellate remedy. In re
Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the
petition and mandamus record, we conclude relators have failed to show they are entitled to the
relief requested.
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).
