IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

§         

IN RE: TERRY KNUTSON,            §          ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

RELATOR

§         

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Relator Terry Knutson seeks a writ of mandamus ordering the production of copies and other information from the files of the County Court and the Justice Court, Precinct 3, Smith County, Texas.  We first note that the petition for writ of mandamus does not comply with any of the requirements for original proceedings prescribed by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.  Moreover, the petition does not contain any allegation or argument that either of the named trial courts has committed a clear abuse of discretion for which Knutson has no adequate remedy at law.   See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).  Consequently, Knutson has not shown himself entitled to the requested relief.  The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
