MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 24, 2010, relator Thomas Brandon Ralph sought relief from this court regarding credit for jail time served, which we construe as a petition for writ of mandamus. However, relator has the burden of providing this court with a record sufficient to establish a right to relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a) ("Relator must file with the petition [ ] a certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to the relator's claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying proceeding"); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A). Here, relator has not provided this court with a copy of any documents to support his claim for relief. To the contrary, the record before us indicates relator is not entitled to the relief he requests. Relator contends he was "granted no credit for the time spent in confinement prior to his conviction, specifically: December 12, 2008 thru January 15, 2009." However, the judgment indicates it was entered on December 10, 2008, and the sentence commenced on December 10, 2008. Therefore, based on the record before us, relator has failed to establish he was not given jail time credit he seeks. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
We acknowledge that relator indicates he was "found guilty" on December 12, 2008.
