OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
            Relators, Scott J. Frey and Brach’s Confections, Inc., ask 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 by denying the motion to transfer venue.  Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief.  See
Tex.R.App.P. 52.8(a).
