15, 2012.

                                         In The

                      Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                                   NO. 14-12-01009-CV

                       IN RE JOSEPH R. WILLIE, II, Relator

                             ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                              WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                                 Probate Court No. 1
                                Harris County, Texas
                            Trial Court Cause No. 401,492

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 1, 2012, relator Joseph R. Willie, II filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In
the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Loyd Wright, presiding judge
of Probate Court No. 1 of Harris County, to vacate his order dated November 1, 2012,
holding relator in contempt and imposing monetary sanctions.
      Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will issue only if (1) the trial court
clearly abused its discretion and (2) the party requesting mandamus relief has no
adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36
(Tex. 2004).

      Relator has not established entitlement to the extraordinary relief of writ of
mandamus. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

                                    PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Brown and Busby.
