DENY and Opinion Filed April 28, 2022

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00380-CV IN RE AL M. WILLIAMS, Relator Original Proceeding from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-19-17458 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Nowell, and Goldstein Opinion by Justice Myers Before the Court is relator’s April 25, 2022 “Simple Application for Writ of Mandamus.” In the application, relator complains that the trial court’s judgment dismissing the underlying suit against real party in interest is void.

Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that he has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition and the record, we conclude that relator has failed to show an abuse of discretion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief.
