in Re: Landell Sheckles

Deny and Opinion Filed August 30, 2021
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00730-CV
IN RE LANDELL SHECKLES, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 301st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-21-08491
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein
Opinion by Justice Goldstein
In his August 25, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus, relator challenges the
trial court’s failure to comply with relator’s request to rule on his motion for
default judgment in his original petition for divorce. Entitlement to mandamus
relief requires relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and
that he lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d
124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).
Based on our review of the petition, we conclude that relator has failed to
demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ
of mandamus.
