TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-11-00123-CV

In re Candi Cooper

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Mandamus relief is not available when the relator has an adequate remedy on appeal. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004). Because a final judgment has been entered and signed in the underlying suit, relator Candi Cooper has a remedy by direct appeal. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002 (West 2008). As a result, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a)
