IN RE ERIC B. DICK AND DICK LAW FIRM, PLLC, Relators

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relators Eric B. Dick and Dick Law Firm, PLLC have filed a petition for

writ of mandamus challenging an order from the county court.1 To be entitled to

mandamus relief, relator must show the trial court clearly abused its discretion and

relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148

1
The underlying case is Donna Garcia Rougeaux v. Clear Blue Insurance
Company, cause number 1252304, pending in the County Civil Court at Law No.
4 of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Monica Singh presiding.
S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex.

1992). Relators have not met their burden. See Anderson v. City of Seven Points,

806 S.W.2d 791, 792 n.1 (Tex. 1991) (“An original proceeding for a writ of

mandamus initiated in the trial court is a civil action subject to trial and appeal on

substantive law issues and the rules of procedure as any other civil suit.”). We

deny mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Any pending motions are

dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Caughey and Johnson.
