DENY and Opinion Filed May 3, 2022
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-00159-CV
IN RE KETTAN PATEL, BHARAT PATEL,
AND JAYESH PATEL, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-00572
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Partida-Kipness, and Smith
Opinion by Justice Osborne
Relators’ March 1, 2022 petition for writ of mandamus challenges the trial
court’s order granting real parties in interest’s motion to compel discovery of
financial information. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that
the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that they have 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 relators have not shown their
entitlement to the relief requested. See In re Rowes, No. 05-14-00606-CV, 2014 WL
2452723, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 30, 2014, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)
(noting that “[a] court cannot grant mandamus relief unless the error was raised in
the trial court,” and that a party seeking mandamus “must direct the Court to where
the argument was presented to the trial court”). Accordingly, we deny the petition
for writ of mandamus.
