IN RE: Troy Edmon (2014)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas.

IN RE: Troy Edmon, Relator

No. 05–14–01488–CV

Decided: December 12, 2014

Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Evans

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus contending that the trial court has violated a ministerial duty with regard to its treatment of his pre-trial petition for writ of habeas corpus. The facts and issues are well-known to the parties so we do not recount them here. In a criminal case, to be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must show two things: (1) that he has no adequate remedy at law, and (2) that what he seeks to compel is a ministerial act. In re Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 533 (Tex.Crim.App.2014) (orig.proceeding). The record before the Court does not show relator has met this burden. Accordingly, we DENY the petition.
