IN RE KAREN NEWSOM, Relator


Original Proceeding from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 219-50697-2008

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers

Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus arguing that the trial court clearly abused its discretion in refusing to decline jurisdiction in this suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Ordinarily, to obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that the relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). We conclude relator has failed to establish a right to the relief requested. We deny the petition.
