DENY; and Opinion Filed May 16, 2018. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00416-CV IN RE TOWNSEND HOLDINGS, LLC D/B/A THE TOWNSEND GROUP, RICHARD BROWN, AND MARTIN ROSENBERG, Relators Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-11306 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Boatright Opinion by Justice Brown Before the Court is relators’ petition for writ of mandamus in which they complain of the trial court’s order denying their motion for severance. 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 relators are not entitled to the relief requested because they have not shown that the trial court abused its discretion by denying their motion for severance. Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought). 180416F.P05 /Ada Brown/ ADA BROWN JUSTICE
