in Re: Critter Control, Inc. and Kevin Clark ( 2015 )

Denied and Opinion Filed December 14, 2015.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-01406-CV
IN RE CRITTER CONTROL, INC. AND KEVIN CLARK, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 162nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-05281
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Myers, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Myers
In this petition for writ of mandamus relators request that the Court order the trial court to
strike the general denial filed on its behalf by the law firm Kane Russell Coleman & Logan PC,
reinstate the special appearance filed on its behalf by the law firm Thompson, Coe, Cousins &
Irons, L.L.P. and determine the special appearance on its merits. Ordinarily, to obtain 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). We conclude relators have not established a right to relief. We
deny the petition.
