Todd McCray, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice Delivered and Filed: June 24, 2026 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED On June 11, 2026, relator, Jose Alberto Rodriguez, filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging a new trial order issued November 13, 2023 and amended on January 25, 2024. On June 12, 2026, Rodriguez filed a motion for emergency stay of the new trial, which is scheduled to begin on June 22, 2026. We denied the motion for emergency stay on June 12, 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.
