IN RE CLAYTON HENDERSON, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Clayton Henderson, filed in this Court a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking that we order respondent to: dismiss the causes pending against him in the 405th Judicial District Court claiming that he has been incarcerated for 22 months without the trial court holding a hearing on a pending motion to revoke his probation. We deny the petition.
A writ of mandamus will issue to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no adequate remedy at law. Canadian Helicopters Ltd. v. Wittig, 876 S.W.2d 304, 305 (Tex. 1994) (orig. proceeding). If the respondent trial court has a legal duty to perform a nondiscretionary act, the relator must make a demand for performance that the respondent refuses. Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d 424, 426 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding). The relator must also provide this Court with a sufficient record to establish his right to mandamus relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).
Relator has not provided us with a record that shows he filed any motions, requested relief from respondent, or served the respondent. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j).
Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court mail a copy of this order to Wayne Mallia, Judge, 405th Judicial District Court, Galveston County, 722 Moody Avenue, Galveston, Texas, 77550.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court mail a copy of this order to Kurt Sistrunk, Galveston County Criminal District Attorney, Galveston County Courthouse, 722 Moody Avenue, Suite 300, Galveston, Texas, 77550.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Taft, Higley, and Bland.
Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
