in Re: The Unknown Heirs, and Heirs Whose Whereabouts is Unknown, of Thelma Francies Shaw Brady

DENY; and Opinion Filed December 17, 2018.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-01315-CV
IN RE THE UNKNOWN HEIRS, AND HEIRS WHOSE WHEREABOUTS IS
UNKNOWN, OF THELMA FRANCIES SHAW BRADY, Relators
Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 2
Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 025128
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Before the Court is relators’ petition for writ of mandamus in which they complain of the
trial court’s denial of relators’ motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. 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 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).
