in Re: Connie Parker on Behalf of Louis Henyard

DENY and Opinion Filed March 1, 2022
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00688-CV
IN RE CONNIE PARKER ON BEHALF OF LOUIS HENYARD, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 95th District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-20-18116
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein
Opinion by Justice Osborne
In this original proceeding, relator seeks relief from the trial court’s August 5,
2021 discovery order, which denied in part a motion to compel production of certain
documents pursuant to the stay of discovery found in Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code section 74.351(s). See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 74.351(s).
To be entitled to mandamus relief, relator must demonstrate that the trial court has
clearly abused its discretion and that she has no adequate appellate remedy. In re
Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).
In light of the Texas Supreme Court’s recent decision in In re LCS SP, LLC,
No. 20-0694 (Tex. Feb. 25, 2022) (orig. proceeding), we conclude that relator has
failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition
for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We also lift the stay issued by
our August 20, 2021 order.
