IN RE DIPAK T. PATEL AND PRAVIN T. PATEL, Relators
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
344th District Court
Chambers County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CV25784
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 2, 2018, relators Dipak T. Patel and Pravin T. Patel filed a petition
for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp.
2017); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel
the Honorable Randy McDonald, presiding judge of the 344th District Court of
Chambers County, to vacate his September 27, 2018 order denying relators’ motion
to dismiss.
With certain exceptions, to obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both
that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator has no adequate
remedy at law, such as an appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124,
135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Relators have not shown that the trial court
clearly abused its discretion. We therefore deny relators’ petition for writ of
mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Donovan, Wise, and Jewell.
