IN RE Sean MCNAMARA
Original Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
H. Todd McCray, Justice
Velia J. Meza, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 1, 2026
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED; EMERGENCY MOTION FOR
TEMPORARY RELIEF DISMISSED AS MOOT
Relator, Sean McNamara, filed his petition for writ of mandamus, emergency motion for
temporary relief, and mandamus record on June 24, 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,
the motion, and the record provided, this court concludes that McNamara has not shown that he is
entitled to the relief sought. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). The petition for writ of mandamus is
denied. The emergency motion for temporary relief is dismissed as moot.
