Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-20-00467-CV IN RE Stephen Patrick BLACK, Relator Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice Delivered and Filed: August 4, 2021 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. We have the power to issue writs of mandamus when “agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b). For mandamus, a relator has the burden to file a petition and record showing “the trial court abused its discretion and that no adequate appellate remedy exists.” In re H.E.B. Grocery Co., 492 S.W.3d 300, 302 (Tex. 2016) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Having reviewed the petition and the record, we conclude relator has not satisfied this burden. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). PER CURIAM This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 15-1805-CV pending in the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas, the Honorable Gary L. Steel presiding. 1
