  • Deny Opinion Filed September 29, 2021
    In The
    Court of Appeals
    Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
    No. 05-21-00718-CV
    IN RE JAY SANDON COOPER AND TERESA WARD COOPER, Relators
    Original Proceeding from the Local Administrative Law Judge
    Collin County, Texas
    Trial Court Cause No. Not Assigned, Petition not Filed
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, and Goldstein
    Opinion by Justice Goldstein
    In this petition for writ of mandamus, relators challenge the trial court’s
    order denying relator Jay Sandon Cooper, a vexatious litigant, permission to file an
    original proceeding as an intervenor with his wife, Teresa Ward Cooper named as
    the petitioner. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires a 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 relators have failed to
    demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ
    of mandamus.
