To be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must establish that the trial court committed a clear abuse of discretion and that no adequate remedy by appeal is available. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). Here, Bellow has not met his burden to show that the sanctions order is void, or to show 1 that his complaints regarding the order cannot be addressed in an appeal. Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition. PETITION DENIED. PER CURIAM Submitted on November 21, 2017 Opinion Delivered November 22, 2017 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
