MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-21-00106-CR

IN RE Andre SCALES, Relator

Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

Irene Rios, Justice

Beth Watkins, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 14, 2021

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus. We have the power to issue writs of mandamus when “agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b). For mandamus, a relator has the burden to file a petition and record showing the trial court abused its discretion and that no adequate legal remedy exists. See State ex rel. Young v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Ct. of Appeals at Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Having reviewed the petition, we conclude relator has not satisfied this burden. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
