IN RE JOSHUA BEN BULLARD, Relator




Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus




MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator Joshua Ben Bullard has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus complaining of errors in Judge Motheral's (1) May 12, 2003 modified temporary orders in the underlying child-custody proceedings. Bullard also claims he believes the minor child is in imminent danger, but does not offer any facts to substantiate this claim.

Bullard has an adequate remedy by appeal for his claims that the trial court erred. We may only grant mandamus relief to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no adequate remedy by appeal. Canadian Helicopters Ltd. v. Wittig, 876 S.W.2d 304, 305 (Tex. 1994); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992); Johnson v. Honorable Fourth Court of Appeals, 700 S.W.2d 916, 917 (Tex. 1985). Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Alcala and Higley.
