MEMORANDUM  OPINION ON WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

Relator Martha Drusina Benitez has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, seeking review of a summary judgment and requesting that the trial judges be recused.  A writ of mandamus will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion when there is no other adequate remedy at law.  Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992)(orig. proceeding).  An appeal is an adequate remedy at law for both of Relator=s complaints.  See Tex.R.App.P. 26.1(a); see also In re Union Pac. Res. Co., 969 S.W.2d 427, 428-29 (Tex. 1998).  Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
