Opinion

Becker v. State COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS

IN RE: ERIC FLORES, Relator.	§ § § § § §	No. 08-07-00256-CV AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN MANDAMUS

MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Relator, Eric Flores, seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Honorable Mike Herrera, Judge of the 383rd Judicial District Court to grant him a trial and to render judgment on his behalf regarding his petition to modify the parent child relationship. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992)(orig. proceeding). Additionally, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. at 840. Based on the petition and record before us, Flores has failed to demonstrate he is entitled to mandamus relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8.
