Delivered: May 20, 2009. DO NOT PUBLISH.

On Application for a Writ of Mandamus from Dallas County.

JOHNSON, J., filed a statement concurring in the denial of leave to file.

CONCURRING STATEMENT

Rule 72.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure dictates that original applications for writs of several kinds, including a writ of mandamus, must be accompanied by a motion for leave to file. Applicant has failed to file such a motion with his application and, therefore, today this Court denies leave to file his application for a writ of mandamus because of that failure. Our denial of leave to file is required by our rules and is in no way a comment on the merits of his application.
