IN RE MICHAEL LONG, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 417th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 417-53803-2020

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Smith Opinion by Justice Smith In this petition for writ of mandamus, relator challenges the trial judge’s

temporary orders in the underlying suit against the parent-child relationship

(SAPCR) and the order denying relator’s motion to recuse the trial judge from the

modification proceeding.

Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court has

clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In

re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

After reviewing the petition and record, we conclude that relator has failed to show

an abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a). We deny relator’s motion for emergency relief as moot. /Craig Smith/ CRAIG SMITH JUSTICE
