RELATORS.                                       §
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators, Dolores Narvaez, Luis Narvaez, Eduardo Velarde, Jose Juan Velarde, Julieta
Duran, Luz Magdalena Escobar, and Jose Antonio Velarde Juarez, have filed a mandamus petition
against the Honorable Stephen Ables, Presiding Judge of the 34th District Court of El Paso County,
Texas, to challenge the order dismissing Relators’ suit for lack of jurisdiction. We deny the
petition for writ of mandamus.
Generally, mandamus relief is appropriate only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or to
compel the performance of a ministerial duty, and where the relator has no adequate remedy by
appeal. In re Reece,
    341 S.W.3d 360
    , 364 (Tex. 2011)(orig. proceeding); In re Prudential
Insurance Company of America,
    148 S.W.3d 124
    , 135-36 (Tex. 2004)(orig. proceeding). The
burden is on relator to show it is entitled to mandamus relief. See In re Ford Motor Company,
    165 S.W.3d 315
    , 317 (Tex. 2005)(orig. proceeding); Walker v. Packer,
    827 S.W.2d 833
    , 837 (Tex.
1992)(orig. proceeding). Relators also challenged the dismissal order by filing a direct appeal, and
we affirmed the dismissal order by opinion and judgment issued this same date. See Dolores
Narvaez, Luis Narvaez, Eduardo Velarde, Jose Juan Velarde, Julieta Duran, Luz Magdalena
Escobar, and Jose Antonio Velarde Juarez v. Darron Powell, Darron Powell PLLC, Hector
Phillips, and Hector Phillips, P.C., No. 08-17-00157-CV (Tex.App.--El Paso July 13, 2018, no
pet.h.). Thus, Relators had an adequate remedy by appeal. The petition for writ of mandamus is
denied.
