No. 94-0466.

878 S.W.2d 602 (1994)

Candice Robinson GEARY, Relator, v. The Honorable John W. PEAVY, Jr., 246th Judicial District Court, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Texas.

June 22, 1994.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pamela E. George, Glenn H. Johnson, Houston, for relator.

Kathleen W. Osman, Stewart W. Gagnon, Terriann Trostle, Houston, for respondent.


PER CURIAM.

In this original mandamus proceeding arising from an interstate child custody dispute, relator challenges the jurisdiction of the Texas courts to adjudicate custody. Because we conclude that the trial court was precluded from exercising jurisdiction, and because under the circumstances of this case relator is entitled to raise this issue by mandamus, we conditionally grant the writ.
