S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-00229-CV
IN RE HEARTLAND EXPRESS, INC. OF IOWA, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 95th District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-00697-D
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Partida-Kipness, and Smith
Opinion by Justice Smith
Before the Court is relator’s March 18, 2022 petition for writ of mandamus.
In the petition, relator challenges the trial court’s order granting real party in
interest’s motion to compel discovery.
Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court
clearly abused its discretion and that relator 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, response, reply, and the record, we conclude
that relator has failed to demonstrate an abuse of discretion. See TEX. R. APP. P.
52.8(a).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus, and we lift the stay
issued by this Court’s March 18, 2022 order.
