S Court of Appeals In The

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00442-CV

IN RE PATRICIA GELSKY, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 429-54109-2011

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, and Evans Opinion by Justice Moseley The Court has before it relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which relator requests that

the Court compel the trial court to sign an order denying real party in interest relief on his petition to

modify the parent-child relationship and, instead, sign an order dismissing the case. The facts and

issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Relator has not shown she

is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Mandamus is intended to be an

extraordinary remedy, available only in limited circumstances, and not for grievances that may be

addressed by other remedies such as an appeal. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex.

1992) (orig. proceeding); In re Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, 106 S.W.3d 332, 333 (Tex. App.—

Dallas 2003, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus.
