Court of Appeals

In The

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

No. 05-14-00442-CV

IN RE PATRICIA GELSKY, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 429-54109-2011

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, and Evans Opinion by Justice Moseley

The Court has before it relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which relator requests that the Court compel the trial court to sign an order denying real party in interest relief on his petition to modify the parent-child relationship and, instead, sign an order dismissing the case. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Relator has not shown she is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Mandamus is intended to be an extraordinary remedy, available only in limited circumstances, and not for grievances that may be addressed by other remedies such as an appeal. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding); In re Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, 106 S.W.3d 332, 333 (Tex. App.— Dallas 2003, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus.
