                           Original Proceeding
________________________________________________________________________

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Robert J. Keens filed a petition seeking mandamus relief from the trial court’s

order transferring his suit to Harris County. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §

15.0642 (West 2002). The relator has not established that the trial court abused its

discretion in granting the motion to transfer venue on the record before the trial court at

the time of its ruling. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

      PETITION DENIED.

                                                               PER CURIAM


Opinion Delivered January 15, 2013

Before Gaultney, Kreger, and Horton, JJ.
