IN RE A.R.R., A.M.R., AND A.R.R., Relators
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators, A.R.R., A.M.R., and A.R.R., have filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting this Court to compel the trial court to strike and dismiss an original petition to modify conservatorship filed by real parties in interest, O.M. and L.M. To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Relators have not shown that they lack an adequate remedy by appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 842 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding) (holding that "an appellate remedy is not inadequate merely because it may involve more expense or delay than obtaining an extraordinary writ.").
The underlying proceeding is In the Interest of A.R.R., A.M.R., and A.R.R., Cause No. 2017-00427J, currently pending in the 314th District Court of Harris County, the Honorable Eric Andell presiding.
Accordingly, we deny relators' petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a), (d). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Lloyd, Hightower.
