IN RE STEVEN FRANKOFF, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            On October 4, 2010, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asked this court to reverse an order signed July 14, 2010, by the Honorable Randy Wilson, presiding judge of the 157th District Court of Harris County.

            Relator has filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s order signed July 14, 2010, and that appeal is currently pending before this court, No. 14-10-00705-CV, Steven Frankoff v. Susan Norman and Michael Easton.  Relator has not demonstrated that his appeal is an inadequate remedy by law; therefore, relator is not entitled to mandamus relief.  See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992).  Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Seymore, Boyce, and Sullivan.
