IN RE MARK ALLEN KEY, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

O P I N I O N

	Relator filed a motion for leave to file petition for writ of mandamus and
writ of prohibition, complaining of respondent's (1) revocation of his pretrial release
bond and the setting of a $100,000 surety appeal bond in cause number 10462.
	In order to show that he is entitled to extraordinary relief, relator must
demonstrate to this Court that he has no other adequate remedy at law, and that he is
clearly entitled to the relief sought.  Curry v. Wilson, 853 S.W.2d 40, 43 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1993) (orig. proceeding) (application for writ of prohibition); Walker v. Packer,
827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding) (petition for writ of mandamus).
	Article 44.04(g) of the Code of Criminal Procedure provides a right of
appeal to the Court of Appeals for review of any judgment or order concerning an
appeal bond.  See Tex. Code Crim. P. Ann. art.44.04(g) (Vernon Supp. 2002).
	Because relator had an adequate remedy at law, the motion for leave to file
petition for writ of mandamus and writ of prohibition is denied.
