Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00161-CV
IN RE DESOTO SURGICARE PARTNERS, LTD., SUCCESSOR-IN-INTEREST TO
BAYLOR SURGICARE AT DUNCANVILLE, LLC; TEXAS HEALTH VENTURES
GROUP, LLC; AND UNITED SURGICAL PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL, INC.,
Relators
Original Proceeding from the 193rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-02334-L
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus in this dispute involving real property
requesting that the Court order the trial court to find that real party in interest spoliated evidence,
strike the real party in interest’s pleadings, and dismiss the case or, alternatively, strike the real
party in interest’s expert testimony based on observations of the property before the alleged
spoliation. 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). Based on the
record before us, we conclude the relator has failed to establish a right to relief.
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8.
