IN RE: Christina Denbina (2016)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 24, 2016, relator Christina Denbina filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004);  see also Tex.R.App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Lisa A. Millard, presiding judge of the 310th District Court of Harris County, to vacate her December 7, 2015 order denying relator's motion to transfer venue of the underlying suit to modify the parent-child relationship.

To obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate remedy by appeal.  In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex.2004) (orig.proceeding).  A trial court's failure to analyze or apply the law correctly is an abuse of discretion. In re Am. Homestar of Lancaster, Inc., 50 S.W.3d 480, 483 (Tex.2001).

Relator has not established that the trial court clearly abused its discretion or misapplied the law.  We therefore deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
