law-mandamus

To demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief, a relator must show that the trial court committed a clear abuse
of discretion and there is no adequate remedy by appeal.  In re Ford Motor Co., 165 S.W.3d 315, 317 (Tex.
2005) (orig. proceeding); In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig.
proceeding).  A trial court abuses its discretion when it fails to correctly apply the law.  Ford Motor, 165 S.W.3d
at 317; Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).  Even if the area of law is
unsettled, the trial court abuses its discretion in reaching an erroneous legal conclusion.  Huie v. DeShazo, 922
S.W.2d 920, 927-28 (Tex. 1996)
