in Re: Venky Venkatraman

Opinion

Denied and Opinion Filed July 6, 2018

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00751-CV

IN RE VENKY VENKATRAMAN, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-04-11968

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers This original proceeding is the latest of multiple proceedings filed in relation to the

underlying divorce and custody dispute. Here, relator complains that the trial court’s June 5, 2018

memorandum ruling relating to relator’s possession schedule with his youngest child is not

supported by legally or factually sufficient evidence.

To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both 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). Based on the record before us, we

conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s

petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
