In re Craig Brooks Walton
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Craig Brooks Walton, an inmate proceeding pro se, has filed what is substantively a petition for writ of mandamus, in which Walton asks this Court to direct the district court below to rule on a motion that he filed. In this motion, according to Walton, he has requested the district court to rescind fines and fees that were assessed against him by the district court. In response to Walton's mandamus petition, we have received a letter from the district clerk's office informing us that no such motion has been filed. Additionally, Walton has failed to provide this Court with a copy of the motion that he claims to have filed or any correspondence to the district court requesting a ruling on that motion. On this record, we cannot conclude that Walton is entitled to the extraordinary relief requested. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
See State ex rel. Curry v. Gray, 726 S.W.2d 125, 128 (Tex. Crim. App. 1987); In re Keeter, 134 S.W.3d 250, 252 (Tex. App.—Waco 2003, orig. proceeding); In re Villarreal, 96 S.W.3d 708, 710 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2003, orig. proceeding); Ex parte Bates, 65 S.W.3d 133, 135 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2001, orig. proceeding) see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a)(1) (relator must file with 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").
