                    IN RE GUILLERMO PUENTE, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, Guillermo Puente, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus

challenging a protective order issued in the underlying case.1 At the time the petition

was filed, relator also had a pending appeal from the same order. See Guillermo

Puente v. Alicia Marie Puente, No. 01-18-00583-CV (Tex. App.—Houston [1st

1
      The underlying case is Alicia Marie Puente v. Guillermo Orestes Puente, cause
      number 2018-34059, pending in the 280th District Court of Harris County, Texas,
      the Honorable Barbara J. Stalder presiding.
Dist.). Subsequently, on July 30, 2019, our Court affirmed the protective order in the

appeal. Because relator has an adequate remedy by appeal, we deny the petition for

writ of mandamus. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992)

(mandamus relief is not available when adequate appellate remedy exists). Any

pending motions are dismissed as moot.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Goodman and Countiss.
