PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On September 6, 2013, relator Neomi Pastran filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion for stay of the trial court's order enforcing a provision of a 2010 divorce decree pending a ruling on the mandamus petition.
A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no adequate remedy at law, such as by normal appeal. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992). The court has considered the petition for writ of mandamus and is of the opinion that relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Relator fails to establish that any error in the trial court's ruling cannot be remedied by an appeal. Therefore, we decline to address the trial court's ruling by mandamus. Id. at 844. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus and the emergency motion for stay are denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
