in Re Candi Cooper

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-11-00123-CV

In re Candi Cooper

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Mandamus relief is not available when the relator has an adequate remedy on appeal.

See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004). Because a final judgment

has been entered and signed in the underlying suit, relator Candi Cooper has a remedy by direct

appeal. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002 (West 2008). As a result, the petition for writ of

mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a)
