IN RE MICHAEL DAVID BELLOW JR.
________________________________________________________________________
Original Proceeding
356th District Court of Hardin County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 54996
________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Michael David Bellow Jr. petitioned for a writ of mandamus to compel the
trial court to vacate a sanctions order that was signed two days after the trial court
signed a decree of divorce. To be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must
establish that the trial court committed a clear abuse of discretion and that no
adequate remedy by appeal is available. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d
124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). Here,
Bellow has not met his burden to show that the sanctions order is void, or to show
1
that his complaints regarding the order cannot be addressed in an appeal.
Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition.
PETITION DENIED.
