In Re: Michael Lewis and Michelle Shumate, in Their Official Capacities as Assistant Principals at Highland Park School v. the State of Texas ( 2023 )

DENIED and Opinion Filed May 22, 2023
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-23-00486-CV
IN RE MICHAEL LEWIS AND MICHELLE SHUMATE, IN THEIR
OFFICIAL CAPACITIES AS ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AT HIGHLAND
PARK SCHOOL, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 191st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-23-06449
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel
Opinion by Justice Nowell
Before the Court are relators’ May 19, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus
and emergency motion for temporary relief. Relators challenge the trial court’s May
19, 2023 Order on Plaintiffs’ Emergency Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Injunction.
Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that the trial court
clearly abused its discretion and that relators lack an adequate appellate remedy. In
re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig.
proceeding). After reviewing relators’ petition and the record before us, we conclude
that relators have failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.
52.8(a).
We also deny relators’ emergency motion as moot.
