Deny and Opinion Filed September 8, 2016 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-01043-CV IN RE: WESTERN GENERAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, Relator Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-06845 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Myers, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Bridges Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which it seeks relief from an order compelling depositions. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. To be entitled to 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) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown it is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and DENY relator’s motion to stay the depositions as moot. /David L. Bridges/ DAVID L. BRIDGES JUSTICE
