DENIED and Opinion Filed August 30, 2023

                                    S  In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

IN RE STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY
            AND LINDSEY NICOLE DESSART, Relators

           Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 6
                            Collin County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. 006-03203-2022

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Carlyle, and Garcia
                        Opinion by Justice Partida-Kipness
      In their August 17, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relators challenge

(1) the trial court’s refusal to quash the oral depositions of relator Lindsey Nicole

Dessart and relator State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and (2) the

trial court’s quashing of certain of relators’ depositions on written questions.

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

clearly abused its discretion and that relators lack an adequate appellate

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

proceeding). After reviewing relators’ petition and the record before us, we conclude

that relators have failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief.
      Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).

      We also lift the stay issued by this Court’s August 22, 2023 Order.
