in Re Adoun Phommivong, Relator, 560 S.W.3d 280

Relator Adoun Phommivong filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking the trial judge (Hon. Ana Estevez) to hold a hearing and resolve alleged inaccuracies in the reporter’s record.
Phommivong also sought a writ of prohibition to prevent the trial court from proceeding to trial in a related criminal proceeding (Motion to Adjudicate Guilt).
Phommivong’s filings did not cite any legal authority supporting entitlement to mandamus or prohibition relief.
The court treated failure to cite authority and analyze legal issues as a waiver of the complaints.
The court declined to perform an independent review of the record or law to find a clear abuse of discretion.
The court denied both the petition for mandamus and the request for prohibition.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Mandamus to compel hearing on motion to correct reporter’s record	Judge refused to hold a hearing; no adequate appellate remedy, so mandamus appropriate	Implied: no entitlement shown; respondent discretion; ordinary appeal adequate	Denied — relator waived argument by failing to cite authority and did not show entitlement
Prohibition to bar trial proceedings in related criminal case	Any trial would interfere with this Court’s jurisdiction and prevent determination of reporter’s-record inaccuracies	Implied: proceeding in separate criminal cause does not prevent correction of reporter’s record; no authority shown	Denied — relator waived argument and did not explain how trial would bar relief
Waiver for failure to cite legal authority	Relator argued in substance but provided no supporting authorities	Respondent relied on appellate rules and precedent holding failure to cite is waiver	Held that failure to cite authority and analyze law results in waiver; petition denied
Requirement to show clear abuse of discretion unavailable on appeal	Relator contended mandamus appropriate because no other remedy exists	Court: petitioner must show clear abuse; court will not independently research law to find such abuse	Denied — relator failed to establish clear abuse that could not be remedied on appeal
