Supreme Court of Texas

In a legal malpractice case, a petition for writ of mandamus challenging a presiding judge's assignment of a judge to rule on a recusal motion in the matter is denied where, absent extraordinary reasons for recusal, a formerly-recused presiding judge is not precluded from performing administrative assignment of another judge as statutorily required "good cause" is normally inherent in the administrative nature of the assignment.
