JACQUELINE DeWEES, An Original Proceeding
INDEPENDENT EXECUTRIX OF §
THE ESTATE OF BLANCA S. in Mandamus
ROHLING, §
RELATOR. §
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Jacqueline DeWees, Independent Executrix of the Estates of Blanca S. Rohling,
has filed a mandamus petition against the Honorable Eduardo Gamboa, Judge of the Probate Court
No. 2 of El Paso County, Texas. Relator asks that we order Respondent to vacate an order granting
a new trial, dismiss James Rohling as a party to the underlying case for lack of standing, and vacate
the probate court’s order requiring the independent executrix to post a corporate surety bond in
cause number 2017-CPR00728, styled In the Matter of the Estate of Blanca S. Rohling, Deceased.
The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator generally must meet two requirements. First,
the relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. In re Prudential Insurance
Company of America, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004). Second, the relator must demonstrate
that there is no adequate remedy by appeal. Id. at 136. Having reviewed the mandamus petition
and record, we conclude that Relator has failed to establish she is entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
