Denied and Opinion Filed July 6, 2018

                                              In The
                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                       No. 05-18-00751-CV

                          IN RE VENKY VENKATRAMAN, Relator

                 Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court
                                   Dallas County, Texas
                            Trial Court Cause No. DF-04-11968

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                       Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart
                                Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
       This original proceeding is the latest of multiple proceedings filed in relation to the

underlying divorce and custody dispute. Here, relator complains that the trial court’s June 5, 2018

memorandum ruling relating to relator’s possession schedule with his youngest child is not

supported by legally or factually sufficient evidence.

       To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly

abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co.,

148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we

conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s

petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the
court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
