In Re Rickye Henderson v. the State of Texas ( 2024 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-24-00378-CV
In re Rickye Henderson
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Rickye Henderson has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, an amended
petition for writ of mandamus, a supplemental brief in support of his petition for writ of
mandamus, and a supplemental declaration in support of his mandamus, all of which challenge
the default judgment signed by the trial court. Henderson has also filed a notice of appeal in this
Court from the same judgment; the appeal is pending in cause number 03-24-00236-CV,
Henderson v. Arabzadegan. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex.
R. App. P. 52.8(a); see Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding)
(“Mandamus will not issue where there is ‘a clear and adequate remedy at law, such as a normal
appeal.’” (quoting State v. Walker, 679 S.W.2d 484, 485 (Tex.1984) (orig. proceeding))).
