In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-25-00288-CV __________________

IN RE MICHAEL WAYNE LOWMAN __________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 410th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 23-07-10524 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator Michael Wayne Lowman filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to conduct a de novo hearing on Lowman’s Motion to Vacate Receivership. In a related mandamus proceeding, In re Lowman, No. 09-25-00153- CV, the Real Party on Interest, Samantha Lowman, notified the Court that on July 28, 2025, the trial court held a de novo hearing on the Motion to Vacate Receivership. On August 8, 2025, we asked the parties whether the mandamus proceeding has been mooted by the trial court’s July 30, 2025 Order Denying Motion to Vacate Appointment of Receivership after De Novo Hearing and on the July 30,

2025 Order Denying Motion to Terminate or Dissolve Receivership after De Novo Hearing.

Lowman filed an Amended Petition for Writ of Mandamus. He explains that he was surprised by the trial court’s decision to grant his motion to reconsider and was unprepared for the de novo hearing. He asks this Court to order the trial court to hold another de novo hearing.

We may issue a writ of mandamus to remedy a clear abuse of discretion by the trial court when the relator lacks an adequate remedy by appeal. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). We conclude the Relator has not shown that he lacks an adequate remedy by appeal.

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

PETITION DENIED.
