Candice Robinson Geary, Relator v. the Honorable John W. Peavy, Jr., 246th Judicial District Court, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus, vacating the Texas district court's conservatorship decree and dismissing the proceeding for lack of jurisdiction. It held that the Texas court was precluded from exercising jurisdiction because a Minnesota proceeding concerning the twins was pending and that mandamus was available despite the existence of an ordinary appeal.
