DENIED and Opinion Filed February 1, 2024

                                       In The
                            Court of Appeals
                     Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                               No. 05-23-01282-CV

                   IN RE STEPHANIE CLIFFORD, Relator

          Original Proceeding from the 422nd Judicial District Court
                           Kaufman County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 100256-422

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel
                         Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III
      In her December 18, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relator seeks relief

from the trial court’s order denying her motion to dismiss for want of prosecution.

      Entitlement to mandamus relief requires a relator to show that the trial court

clearly abused its discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy.

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

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

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

52.8(a).
