IN RE VENKY VENKATRAMAN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 255th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF04-11968
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Bridges
Before the Court is relator's May 26, 2017 petition for writ of mandamus in which he complains of the trial court's order denying relator's motion for release of a child support lien. To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
