An Original Proceeding, In Mandamus.

Before CHEW, C.J., McCLURE, and RIVERA, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS


Relator, Gloria I. Saavedra, seeks a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Patricia Macias, Judge of the 388th District Court of El Paso County, Texas, to grant a motion to disqualify/recuse or refer the motion to the presiding judge of the administrative judicial district. In order to be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must meet two requirements. First, the relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. In re Prudential Insurance Company of America, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004). Second, the relator must demonstrate he has no adequate remedy by appeal. Id. at 135-36. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude Relator is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
