DENIED and Opinion Filed August 30, 2024

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-24-01013-CV IN RE CHAD JONES, Relator Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 2 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-22-01325-B MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Smith In his August 26, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus, relator challenges the trial court’s January 8, 2024 order striking his testifying experts, in part, and the trial court’s March 20, 2024 order denying reconsideration of the same. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires a relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing relator’s petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator has failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
