S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00943-CV IN RE ALLEN M. JOHNSTON AND GREENTECH ENVIRONMENTAL, LLC, Relators Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-13481 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Boatright Opinion by Justice Bridges In this original proceeding, relators complain of the trial court’s verbal ruling granting a continuance of the hearing on relators’ special appearance to permit limited jurisdictional discovery. To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has 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 they are entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
