DENY and Opinion Filed August 12, 2022 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00684-CV IN RE B.D. AND T.M.D., Relators Original Proceeding from the 305th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. JC-20-00439-W MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Osborne, Partida-Kipness, and Smith Opinion by Justice Partida-Kipness In this original proceeding, relators complain about the trial court’s issuance of a writ of attachment enforcing the final judgment in the underlying suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that they lack an 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, responses, and the record, we conclude that relators failed to demonstrate that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We also lift the stay issued by our July 18, 2022 order. /Robbie Partida-Kipness/ ROBBIE PARTIDA-KIPNESS JUSTICE 220684F.P05 –2–
