in Re: Stan Keith Odam

Denied and Opinion Filed November 26, 2019
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-01300-CV
IN RE STAN KEITH ODAM, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 15th Judicial District Court
Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 07-1369-015
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Molberg, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus by which he challenges a trial
court order altering his parental custody, possession, and support rights and obligations.
Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show both that the trial court has clearly abused
its discretion and that he has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d
124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition and the limited
mandamus record provided to us, we conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief
requested.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a)
(the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
