Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-25-00189-CV IN RE Ray Adam BASALDUA, Relator Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice H. Todd McCray, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 9, 2025 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED The court has considered the petition for a writ of mandamus filed by relator on March 24, 2025. Relator challenges the denial of an oral motion to recuse. “An order denying a motion to recuse may be reviewed only for abuse of discretion on appeal from the final judgment.” TEX. R. CIV. P. 18a(j). Intervention by appellate courts through the extraordinary writ of mandamus is not statutorily authorized nor appropriate in this context. In re Union Pac. Res. Co., 969 S.W.2d 427, 428-29 (Tex. 1998). After considering the petition and the record, the court concludes relator is not entitled to the relief sought and relief should be denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

Accordingly, relator’s petition for a writ of mandamus is denied.
