in Re: Gearbox Software, LLC and Randall Pitchford, II ( 2019 )

DENIED and Opinion Filed August 26, 2019
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00797-CV
IN RE GEARBOX SOFTWARE, LLC AND RANDALL PITCHFORD, II, Relators
Original proceeding from the 162nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-19179
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Carlyle, and Osborne
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
Before the Court is relators’ petition for writ of mandamus in which they contend the trial
court abused its discretion by overruling numerous objections to requests for production of
documents and compelling production of certain documents. Entitlement to mandamus relief
requires relators to 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). After reviewing the petition and the mandamus record, we conclude relators
have not shown 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).
