DENY and Opinion Filed July 25, 2023

                                       In The
                            Court of Appeals
                     Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                               No. 05-23-00489-CV

                          IN RE NEIL NOBLE, Relator

          Original Proceeding from the County Criminal Court No. 4
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. F18-45998-K

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel
                            Opinion by Justice Miskel
      Relator filed a motion for rehearing of our June 14, 2023 memorandum

opinion and order denying relief. We deny the motion for rehearing, withdraw our

opinion and vacate our order of June 14, 2023, and issue this new memorandum

opinion and order denying relief in their stead.

      Relator’s May 22, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus seeks relief from the

trial court’s order denying his motion to enter judgment for credit for time served.

To establish a right to mandamus relief in a criminal case, the relator must show that

the trial court violated a ministerial duty and there is no adequate remedy at law. In
re State ex rel. Weeks, 391 S.W.3d 117, 122 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013) (orig.

proceeding).

      Based on relator’s petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator

has failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny relator’s

petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
