DENY and Opinion Filed March 28, 2023

                                     S  In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                No. 05-23-00055-CV

                     IN RE ERNESTO CASTILLO, Relator

          Original Proceeding from the 302nd Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. DF-17-17721

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                    Before Justices Reichek, Nowell, and Miskel
                             Opinion by Justice Miskel
      In his January 19, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relator asks us to vacate

the trial court’s contempt order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship.

Entitlement to mandamus relief generally requires relator to demonstrate that the

trial court clearly abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate remedy by

appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig.

proceeding).

      After reviewing the petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator

has failed to show that the trial court abused its discretion.
      Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).
