in Re: Melissa Larsen ( 2018 )

DENY; and Opinion Filed July 10, 2018.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00775-CV
IN RE MELISSA LARSEN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 101st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-05693
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to
enter relator’s confession of judgment as a final judgment. 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 relator has not shown she is entitled to
the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s 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).
