MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, S.D., petitioned to compel the Judge of the 418th District Court of
Montgomery County, Texas, to set a hearing on pending motions and render a
decision regarding access and possession in a suit involving a child in the care of the
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Mandamus relief is proper to
correct a clear abuse of discretion when there is no adequate remedy by appeal. In
re Dep’t of Family & Protective Servs., 273 S.W.3d 637, 643 (Tex. 2009). After
reviewing the petition and the responses of the real parties in interest, we conclude
1
that Relator has not shown that she is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the
petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
PETITION DENIED.
