No. 08-06-00062-CV

AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

IN MANDAMUS

 

 

 

OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
           Relator James Lee Sweed asks this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against the
Honorable Linda Chew, Judge of the 327th District Court 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
her discretion or that Relator has no other adequate remedy.  Accordingly, we deny
mandamus relief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
