in Re: Venky Venkatraman ( 2018 )

Denied and Opinion Filed July 6, 2018
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00751-CV
IN RE VENKY VENKATRAMAN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-04-11968
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
This original proceeding is the latest of multiple proceedings filed in relation to the
underlying divorce and custody dispute. Here, relator complains that the trial court’s June 5, 2018
memorandum ruling relating to relator’s possession schedule with his youngest child is not
supported by legally or factually sufficient evidence.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly
abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co.,
148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we
conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s
petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the
court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
