MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-21-00033-CV
IN RE Jose Antonio ORTIZ, Relator
Original Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 10, 2021
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief. We have
the power to issue writs of mandamus, but only when “agreeable to the principles of law regulating
those writs.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b). For mandamus, a relator has the burden to file a
petition and record showing “the trial court abused its discretion and that no adequate appellate
remedy exists.” In re H.E.B. Grocery Co., L.P., 492 S.W.3d 300, 302 (Tex. 2016) (orig.
proceeding) (per curiam). Having reviewed the petition and documents included in the appendix,
we conclude relator has not satisfied this burden. Accordingly, we deny the petition and motion
for temporary relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
