in Re: Patricia Gelsky ( 2014 )

Deny and Opinion Filed May 1, 2014.
S
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.
