Description
In this mandamus proceeding, Lisa Black OConnor seeks to disqualify the trial judge from presiding over her suit for modification of the parent-child relationship. OConnor filed her motion to disqualify under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 18b(1)(a) after discovering that the trial judge had been her former attorneys law partner during the time that her former attorney represented her in the initial divorce action. OConnor argues that, under these circumstances, the trial judge was required to disqualify himself because the divorce action and the modification proceeding involved the same matter in controversy. We agree with OConnor and conditionally grant the writ.
