                  Original Proceeding from the 44th Judicial District Court
                                   Dallas County, Texas

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                        Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Schenck
                                 Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
       Relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus, asking this Court to conduct an in camera

inspection of privileged documents that the trial court ordered to be produced and vacate the trial

court’s order in toto. A writ of mandamus issues to correct a clear abuse of discretion when no

adequate remedy by appeal exists. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992) (orig.

proceeding). Relators have failed to establish that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion.

Accordingly, we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus.
