________________________________________________________________________

Original Proceeding

356th District Court of Hardin County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 54996

________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION

Michael David Bellow Jr. petitioned for a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to vacate a sanctions order that was signed two days after the trial court signed a decree of divorce. To be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must establish that the trial court committed a clear abuse of discretion and that no adequate remedy by appeal is available. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am. , 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer , 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). Here, Bellow has not met his burden to show that the sanctions order is void, or to show

1

that his complaints regarding the order cannot be addressed in an appeal. Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition.

PETITION DENIED.
