                     IN RE R. WAYNE JOHNSON, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator R. Wayne Johnson has filed a petition for writ of mandamus,

asserting issues against two judges, the Honorable Juli Matthew, County Court at

Law No. 3, 1 and the Honorable Chad Bridges, presiding judge of the 458th District

1
      Because relator has not provided a trial court number for the allegation against the
      judge of the County Court No. 3, we will not consider his contention against Judge
      Matthew.
Court in Fort Bend County, Texas. In particular, relator contends that respondents

failed to supervise their clerks.2

      To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must establish that the trial court

abused its discretion and the relator lacks an adequate remedy by appeal. See

Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004). Relator does not

explain what actions or omissions by the trial court constituted an abuse of

discretion. See id. Moreover, relator has failed to provide a sufficient record

supporting his allegations. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex.

1992). Accordingly, relator has not established his entitlement to mandamus relief.

      We deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Any pending motions are

dismissed as moot.

                                     PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Hightower.

      The underlying case is R. Wayne Johnson v. Bobby Lumkin, et. al, cause number
      22-DCV-292489, pending in the 458th District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas,
      the Honorable Chad Bridges presiding.
