COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

            Relators, Jennifer Trahan and Alto Trahan, ask this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Maria Salas-Mendoza, Judge of the 120th District Court of El Paso County. In order to be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator 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 he has no adequate remedy by appeal. Id. at 136. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Relators are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8(a).
