Denied and Opinion filed October 4, 2016
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-01036-CV
IN RE: DERIC VALDEZ, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 330th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-11-07033
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Myers, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Whitehill
Before the Court is relator’s September 6, 2016 amended petition for writ of mandamus
in which he seeks relief from temporary orders issued by the trial court in a SAPCR case.
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). Because a trial court’s temporary orders
are not appealable, mandamus is an appropriate means to challenge them. In re Kyburz, 05-15-
01163-CV, 2015 WL 6935912, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Nov. 10, 2015, orig. proceeding)
(mem. op.). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to
the relief requested. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40
(Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).

Accordingly, we DENY relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
