IN RE ERICK LAWSON
Original Proceeding 435th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 07-08-08159-CV
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Erick Lawson filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the 435th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas to rule on a motion he filed in a civil commitment case. Lawson states that on August 13, 2015, he requested a hearing and court-appointed counsel, but he has not been notified of any action on his motion.
Mandamus will issue only when the petition and record establish a clear abuse of discretion for which the relator has no adequate remedy at law. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). We conclude that Lawson has not established a clear abuse of discretion for which he has no adequate remedy at law. See id.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
PETITION DENIED.
