OPINION

PER CURIAM

On February 25, 2016, the real party-in-interest Winfield Gate Partners, LLC (Winfield) filed an original petition and a Notice of Lis Pendens in the real property records of Harris County, Texas (the Lis Pendens). The Lis Pendens affects residential real property located at 2421 San Felipe, Houston, Texas 77019, owned by relator 2421 Partners, LLC (the Property).

Relators Andrew Suman, Chad Muir, 2421 Partners, LLC, CDM Partners LP, DAS Partners, LP and Rohe & Wright Construction, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Elaine H. Palmer, presiding judge of the 215th District Court of Harris County, to (1) vacate her June 16, 2016 Order denying Defendants’ Motion to Expunge the Lis Pendens, (2) order the expungement of the Lis Pendens, and (3) award relators the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs they have incurred in seeking to expunge the Lis Pendens. 1

To obtain mandamus, relief, a relator generally must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

Relators have not established that the trial court clearly abused its discretion.

*859 Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. ■

. In moving to expunge the lis pendens in the trial court, relators did not assert that Win-field failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence the probable validity of its enti-dement to the remedy of constructive trust. See Tex. Prop. Code Ann. § 12.0071(c)(2) (West 2014). We therefore do no), consider that issue.
