Denied and Opinion Filed August 27, 2018
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00943-CV
IN RE ALLEN M. JOHNSTON AND GREENTECH ENVIRONMENTAL, LLC, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-13481
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Bridges
In this original proceeding, relators complain of the trial court’s verbal ruling granting a
continuance of the hearing on relators’ special appearance to permit limited jurisdictional
discovery. To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has
clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential
Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us,
we conclude relators have not shown they are entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we
deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the
petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
