Becker v. State

COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

IN RE: KIMBERLY WILLIAMS, A MINOR,                       Relator.	§ § § § §  §	No. 08-05-00383-CV AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN MANDAMUS

OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

           Relator, Kimberly Williams, a minor, asks this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Carlos Villa, Judge of County Court at Law No. 5 of El Paso County. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Moreover, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Respondent clearly abused his discretion. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
