Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-21-00332-CR __________________ IN RE RONNIE J. CURTIS __________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Ronnie J. Curtis filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel DNA testing. We notified Curtis of several defects in his petition, including his failure to identify the respondent, the real party in interest, the trial court, and the case number.

See generally Tex. R. App. P. 52. Although we provided an opportunity for Curtis to amend his petition, Curtis failed to cure the defects we identified in his petition.

We “may issue all writs of mandamus, agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs, against . . . a judge of a district . . . court in the court of appeals district.” See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221. Curtis failed to provide sufficient information for this Court to determine its jurisdiction and the relator’s right to relief.

Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.

PETITION DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM Submitted on November 5, 2021 Opinion Delivered December 1, 2021 Do Not Publish Before Kreger, Horton and Johnson, JJ.
