Deny and Opinion Filed August 30, 2021 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00730-CV IN RE LANDELL SHECKLES, Relator Original Proceeding from the 301st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-21-08491 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein Opinion by Justice Goldstein In his August 25, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus, relator challenges the trial court’s failure to comply with relator’s request to rule on his motion for default judgment in his original petition for divorce. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on our review of the petition, we conclude that relator has failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. /Bonnie Lee Goldstein/ BONNIE LEE GOLDSTEIN JUSTICE 210730F.P05
