MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-21-00263-CV
IN RE Melissa BARON, Relator
Original Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Beth Watkins, Justice
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 21, 2021
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief. We have the
power to issue writs of mandamus 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., 492 S.W.3d 300, 302 (Tex. 2016) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Having
reviewed the petition and the record, we conclude relator has not satisfied this burden.
Furthermore, the petition’s appendix and the mandamus record contain documents using a minor
child’s full name. Accordingly, the petition and motion for temporary relief are denied, and the
appendix and record are stricken. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(a)(3), 52.8(a).
