Texas Supreme Court
Sally Proffer, Relator v. the Honorable John G. Yates, Judge, Respondents
July 15, 198730 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 597
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus, holding that the district court had a mandatory duty under Tex. Fam. Code Ann. §11.06(b) to transfer the child custody proceeding to El Paso County where the child had resided for more than six months, and that mandamus relief is appropriate because appeal is inadequate.
