In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00742-CV IN RE N.R. AND IRMA RAMIREZ (HEREINAFTER N.R. AND IRENE RAMIREZ), Relators Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 3 Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 003-01130-2020 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein Opinion by Justice Osborne In their August 27, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus, relators challenge the trial court’s August 19, 2021 order striking their section 18.001 counter-affidavit regarding the reasonableness of medical expenses. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that they lack an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135– (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

Based on our review of the petition and record, we conclude that relators have not shown they lack an adequate remedy. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus, and deny their motion for temporary relief as moot.
