IN RE KEATON D. KIRKWOOD
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In a petition for writ of mandamus, Keaton D. Kirkwood seeks to compel the trial court to permit his withdrawal as counsel for a defendant in a criminal case. To obtain mandamus relief in a criminal case, the relator must establish that he has no other adequate legal remedy and that he has a clear and indisputable right to the relief sought. State ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 34 S.W.3d 924, 927-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). After reviewing the mandamus petition and record, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion. See Brewer v. State, 649 S.W.2d 628, 631 (Tex. Crim. App. 1983); Johnson v. State, 352 S.W.3d 224, 228 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, pet. ref'd). We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
PETITION DENIED.
