Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-22-00702-CV
IN RE SOUHAIL ADAM, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF PROHIBITION
157th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2014-21616
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Souhail Adam filed an amended petition for writ of prohibition in this
court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the
petition, relator asks this court to prohibit the Honorable Tanya Garrison, presiding
judge of the 157th District Court of Harris County, from relitigating certain issues
on remand, which relator asserts were previously decided by this court in a prior
appeal. See Adam v. Marcos, 620 S.W.3d 488 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]
2021, pet. denied). 1
Relator has not established that he is entitled to a writ of prohibition.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of prohibition.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Bourliot, Zimmerer, and Wilson.
1
Relator named the Honorable Scott Dollinger, former judge of the 189th District Court, as the
respondent in his original and amended petitions for writ of prohibition. On December 19, 2022, the case
was transferred to the 157th District Court, where Judge Garrison is the presiding judge. Judge Dollinger
ceased to be the presiding judge of the 189th District Court on January 1, 2023. We abated the case to
allow Judge Garrison an opportunity to consider the relief that relator has requested in his petition. On
February 28, 2023, Judge Garrison denied relator’s motion to reconsider Judge Dollinger’s previous rulings.
