Denied and Opinion Filed October 29, 2019 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-01061-CV IN RE K&L AUTO CRUSHERS, LLC AND THOMAS GOTHARD, JR., Relators Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-07502 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Whitehill, Partida-Kipness, and Pedersen, III Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III Before the Court is relators’ petition for writ of mandamus in which they contend the trial court abused its discretion by denying their motion to compel production of documents and their motion for partial reconsideration regarding certain requests included in the motion to compel. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show both 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 the mandamus record, 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). /Bill Pedersen, III// BILL PEDERSEN, III JUSTICE 191061f.p05
