DENIED; Opinion Filed August 29, 2019. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-00979-CV IN RE SANDRA CRENSHAW, Relator Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-08-03187-H MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Nowell, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Nowell Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus complaining that the Dallas County Local Administrative Judge has refused to rule on her request for a prefiling order allowing her to proceed with a petition in the justice court. To be entitled to mandamus relief, relator must show that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition and mandamus record, we conclude relator has not shown she is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a)(the court must deny the petition if court determines relator is not entitled to relief sought). /Erin A. Nowell/ ERIN A. NOWELL JUSTICE 190979F.P05 –2–
