OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

            Relator, Phelps Dodge Magnet Wire Company, seeks a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Javier Alvarez, Judge of the County Court at Law No. 3 of El Paso County. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992)(orig. proceeding). Moreover, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Respondent clearly abused his discretion by denying the motion to arbitrate. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8(a).
