IN RE CRYSTAL DOYLE, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On January 26, 2007, relator Crystal Doyle filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  By her petition, relator asks this court to review a trial court=s final order appointing the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services as the permanent managing conservator of her child, C.M.  This court has already ruled on many of the issues that relator now raises in an opinion affirming the trial court=s judgment on appeal.  See In re C.M., 208 S.W.3d 89 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2006, no pet.).  Relator may not now demand review of the same issues in a petition for mandamus.  See, e.g., Knowles v. Grimes, 437 S.W.2d 816, 817 (Tex. 1969) (the appointment of the existing managing conservator is res judicata as to the best interest of the child at the time of the decree).  As to any new issues that relator raises in her petition, relator has failed to show that she is entitled to mandamus relief.

We accordingly deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed March 6, 2007.

Panel consists of Justices Yates, Anderson, and Hudson.
