PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Lloyd.

2 In an issue in his petition, relator contends that he does not have an adequate remedy at law because portions of the electronically recorded trial court proceedings are inaudible. Relator may raise his contentions that the reporter’s record is incomplete or inaccurate in an appeal from the trial court’s order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(e), (f); see, e.g., Akinwamide v. Trans. Ins. Co., No. 01-15-00066-CV, 2016 WL 3662696, at *8 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] July 7, 2016, no. pet. h.); Villagomez Invs., L.L.C. v. Magee, 294 S.W.3d 687, 689–90 (Tex.
