Deny and Opinion Filed December 9, 2021 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00619-CV IN RE WANDA BOWLING, Relator Original Proceeding from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 296-51274-2015 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Smith Opinion by Justice Molberg Relator, Wanda Bowling, is a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order that requires her to obtain permission from the local administrative judge (LAJ) prior to filing any new litigation. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 11.101. In this mandamus proceeding, relator challenges the LAJ’s June 28, 2021 order denying her permission to file an appeal or mandamus regarding the September 21, 2020 order declaring her vexatious and requiring her to obtain permission to file new litigation. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show 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). After reviewing the petition and record provided to the Court, we conclude that relator has failed to show an abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). 210619f.p05 /Ken Molberg// KEN MOLBERG JUSTICE –2–
