                                        In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                         IN RE ERIN WALKER, Relator

          Original Proceeding from the 422nd Judicial District Court
                           Kaufman County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 100256-422

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Breedlove
                            Opinion by Justice Molberg
      In her July 25, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relator Erin Walker seeks

relief from the trial court’s order denying her motion to dismiss for want of

prosecution and lack of diligence.

      Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court

clearly abused its discretion and that 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 that the trial court abused its discretion.
      Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).
