IN RE CARLA I. VELASCO, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

By petition for writ of mandamus, relator, Carla I. Velasco, seeks mandamus relief compelling the trial court judge to recuse herself from further proceedings or request the presiding judge of the administrative judicial district to assign a judge to hear Velasco’s motion to recuse. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 18(c) (“Prior to any further proceedings in the case, the judge shall either recuse himself or request the presiding judge of the administrative judicial district to assign a judge to hear such motion.”); Hudson v. Texas Children’s Hosp., 177 S.W.3d 232, 235 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2005, no pet.).

We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

Per Curiam 

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Bland and Massengale.
