Petition for Writ of Mandamus Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed August 23, 2018. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-18-00707-CV IN RE E.M., Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 306th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 18CP0095 MEMORANDUM OPINION On August 13, 2018, relator E.M. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp. 2017); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Roy Quintanilla, presiding judge of the 306th District Court of Galveston County, to vacate his July 19, 2018 Temporary Order naming the Department of Family and Protective Services as the temporary managing conservator of the child whose conservatorship is at issue. To obtain mandamus relief, a relator generally must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Relator has not shown that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. We therefore deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Donovan, Wise, and Jewell. 2
