N D U M   O P I N I O N
            On November 21, 2003, relator
filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov’t. Code
Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003); see
also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asserts the trial
court abused its discretion in denying its motion to dismiss for failure to
provide adequate expert reports pursuant to article 4590i, section 13.01, the
Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act.[1]




            Relator has not established the
trial court abused its discretion. 
Moreover, there is an adequate remedy at law.  We deny relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus.
