IN RE Manuel Menchaca PENA
Original Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Lori Massey Brissette, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 15, 2026
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator, Manuel Menchaca Pena, filed his petition for writ of mandamus on July 6, 2026.
Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, available only when the relator can show (1) the trial court
clearly abused its discretion or violated a duty imposed by law; and (2) there is no adequate remedy
at law, such as an appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig.
proceeding). Having considered the petition and the record, this court concludes that Pena has not
shown that he is entitled to the relief sought. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). The petition for writ of
mandamus is denied.
