Denied and Opinion Filed June 14, 2018 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00671-CV IN RE MICHAEL RUFF AND JENNIFER RUFF, Relators Original Proceeding from the 192nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-17273 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Lang In this original proceeding, relators complain of the district court’s enforcement proceedings regarding a probate-court judgment. 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 have not shown they are entitled to the relief requested. 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). 180671F.P05 /Douglas S. Lang/ DOUGLAS S. LANG JUSTICE
