IN RE Darrell Eugene BATES

Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Delivered and Filed: October 31, 2012

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

On October 11, 2012, Relator Darrell Eugene Bates filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining the trial court failed to grant his requested motion for expunction. However, the relator bears the burden of providing this court with a record sufficient to establish his right to mandamus relief and the relator has failed to provide copies of the documents he filed before the trial court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a) (“Relator must file with the petition [ ] a certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to the relator’s claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying proceeding”); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Relator has failed to provide this court with a record establishing his right to mandamus relief and we therefore conclude that he has not shown himself entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
