In Re: Chad Jones v. the State of Texas

DENIED and Opinion Filed August 30, 2024

S In The
Court of Appeals

No. 05-24-01013-CV

IN RE CHAD JONES, Relator

Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-22-01325-B

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia
Opinion by Justice Smith
In his August 26, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus, relator challenges the

trial court’s January 8, 2024 order striking his testifying experts, in part, and the trial

court’s March 20, 2024 order denying reconsideration of the same. Entitlement to

mandamus relief requires a relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its

discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential

Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After

reviewing relator’s petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator has

failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).
