IN RE: Charles Anthony Allen Sr. (2015)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas.

IN RE: Charles Anthony Allen Sr., Relator

No. 05–15–00268–CV

Decided: March 25, 2015

Before Justices Bridges, Stoddart, and Whitehill

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before the Court is relator's petition for writ of mandamus in which he requests the Court to order the trial court to rule on certain pending motions. Mandamus is appropriate in a criminal case if the relator shows that he has no other adequate legal remedy and the act sought to be compelled is purely ministerial. State of Tex. ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 67 S.W.3d 177, 180–81 (Tex.Crim.App.2001) (orig.proceeding); In re Watkins, 315 S.W.3d 907, 908 (Tex.App.–Dallas 2010, orig. proceeding). On the record before the Court, we cannot conclude relator is entitled to relief. We deny the petition.
