                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Relator, S.D., petitioned to compel the Judge of the 418th District Court of

Montgomery County, Texas, to set a hearing on pending motions and render a

decision regarding access and possession in a suit involving a child in the care of the

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Mandamus relief is proper to

correct a clear abuse of discretion when there is no adequate remedy by appeal. In

re Dep’t of Family & Protective Servs., 273 S.W.3d 637, 643 (Tex. 2009). After

reviewing the petition and the responses of the real parties in interest, we conclude




                                          1
 
 
 




that Relator has not shown that she is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the

petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

      PETITION DENIED.

                                                   PER CURIAM
