MEMORANDUM OPINION


In this original mandamus proceeding, relator Counsel Financial Services, L.L.C. complains of the trial court's orders granting the motion for relief from the enforcement of the foreign judgment. Also pending before this court are consolidated Cause Nos. 04-09-00079-CV and 04-09-00080-CV, which challenge the same order as relator challenges in this mandamus proceeding. To be entitled to mandamus relief, relator must show the trial court clearly abused its discretion and relator has no adequate remedy at law. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992). The court has considered relator's petition and is of the opinion that relator is not entitled to the relief sought because it has an adequate remedy by appeal. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is denied. Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
