Description
This is an original mandamus proceeding where Jean C. McElreath, relator, seeks a writ of mandamus compelling Wells Stewart, Judge of the Court of Domestic Relations Number One of Harris County, to vacate his order denying relators writ of habeas corpus and to issue the requested writ. The primary question presented in this case is whether the trial court judge was justified in his denial of habeas corpus relief based on the "serious immediate welfare" provision of section 14.10(c) of the Texas Family Code, despite a valid judgment giving custody to the party seeking the writ of habeas corpus. We hold that in this case reliance on section 14.10(c) was unjustified and the writ of habeas corpus should have been issued.
