                                                Original Mandamus Proceeding

                                              M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On February 6, 2006, this court received Danny Lee Perkins=s pro se petition for writ of mandamus.  The petition did not comply with the requirements of Tex. R. App. P. 52, and Perkins failed to either file the required fee or comply with Tex. R. App. P. 20.  The clerk of this court informed Perkins of these defects in a letter dated February 6, 2006.  Perkins has not responded to  our February 6 letter.

Perkins has failed to invoke the original jurisdiction of this court.  This proceeding is dismissed.
