Description
This is an original mandamus proceeding brought by Harry Forbes, requesting a writ of mandamus directing The Honorable Bruce W. Wettman, District Judge of Harris County, to grant a writ of habeas corpus returning the younger Forbes children to Mr. Forbes, the managing conservator. Harry Forbes and Martha Forbes were divorced. Subsequently the Domestic Relations Court of Nueces County appointed Harry Forbes the managing conservator of their four children. Evidently a subsequent order in Nueces County made Martha Forbes temporary managing conservator of the two older girls. Harry Forbes moved to St. Louis, Missouri, with the two boys in 1979. Pursuant to the Nueces County court order, Harry sent the younger twin boys to Martha in Harris County for summer vacation. Under the Nueces County order, Martha was to return the boys to Harry the last Saturday in August prior to the beginning of the new school year. Martha refused to do so. When Harry came to Houston to get the twins, Martha hid them at a neighbor's house. Harry then filed a petition for habeas corpus in a district court in Harris County. A hearing was had on September 25, 1979. After hearing testimony, Judge Wettman denied the writ of habeas corpus. Harry filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in this Court to compel Judge Wettman to grant the writ of habeas corpus.
