DENY; and Opinion Filed June 4, 2019.

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-00629-CV IN RE JAY SANDON COOPER, Relator Original Proceeding from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-01611-2015 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Brown, Schenck, and Reichek Opinion by Justice Brown Relator Jay Sandon Cooper is a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 11.101(a). In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to (1) enter an order declaring the June 25, 2015 prefiling order void, and (2) enter an order requiring the district clerk to file certain motions relator submitted for electronic filing in April 2019 that the district clerk purportedly refused to accept.

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 relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s 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).
