IN THE
                             TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                     No. 10-14-00133-CV

                             IN RE TERRY JUSTIN SMITH

                                     Original Proceeding

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Because a protective order is a final, appealable order, relator had an adequate

remedy by appeal even if that remedy is no longer available. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN.

§ 81.009 (West 2014); In re Tex. Dep't of Family & Protective Servs., 210 S.W.3d 609, 614

(Tex. 2006); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992).1

       Accordingly relator’s Petition for writ of Mandamus is denied.

                                               TOM GRAY
