DENY and Opinion Filed November 22, 2021

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-00359-CV IN RE JBS CARRIERS, INC., AND CONNIE THOMAS, Relators Original Proceeding from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-19-09792 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Partida-Kipness In this original proceeding, relators challenge the trial court’s denial of their special exceptions and motion for protection. 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 the record, we conclude that relators have failed to show their entitlement to the relief requested.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
