                                MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

       Relators, Jennifer Trahan and Alto Trahan, ask this Court to issue a writ of mandamus

against the Honorable Maria Salas-Mendoza, Judge of the 120th District Court of El Paso County.

In order to be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must meet two requirements. First, the relator

must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. In re Prudential Insurance Company of

America, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004). Second, the relator must demonstrate he has no

adequate remedy by appeal. Id. at 136. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude

that Relators are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See

TEX .R.APP .P. 52.8(a).
