COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

FORT WORTH

NO. 2-07-022-CV

IN RE THOMAS CHRISTOPHER CARTER	RELATOR

------------

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT

------------

The court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and prohibition, and motion for temporary emergency relief, and is of the opinion that relief should be denied because relator has an adequate remedy by appeal.  
See In re Tex. Dep’t of Family and Protective Servs
., No. 04-1043, 2006 WL 3691615, at *3-4 (Tex. Dec. 15, 2006) (orig. proceeding) (op. on reh’g).  Because respondent signed the order of termination on January 19, 2007, an accelerated appeal procedure is available; thus, relator’s statement of points is due to be filed in the trial court on or before February 5, 2007, and his notice of appeal is due to be filed in the trial court no later than February 8, 2007.

Tex. Dep’t of Family and Protective Servs
., 2006 WL 3691615, at *3.  Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and prohibition, and motion for temporary emergency relief, are denied.

Relator shall pay all costs of this original proceeding, for which let execution issue.
