DENY; and Opinion Filed July 31, 2014. S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00984-CV IN RE STAIN DALLAS CONTRACTING, INC., Relator Original Proceeding from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-12846 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Lewis Opinion by Justice Lewis Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that this Court order the trial court to vacate its order requiring relator to disclose its settlement agreement with State Farm Lloyds. The facts and issues are well-known to the parties so we do not recount them here. Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that is available only in limited circumstances. CSR Ltd. v. Link, 925 S.W.2d 591, 596 (Tex. 1996) (orig. proceeding) (citing Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding)). Mandamus is appropriate only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no other adequate remedy by law. Link, 925 S.W.2d at 596. Ordinarily, to obtain 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); Walker, 827 S.W.2d at 839. Relator has not met these requirements. We DENY the petition. /David Lewis/ DAVID LEWIS JUSTICE 140984F.P05 2
