Trial Court Cause No. F-88-89370-M


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Myers

Opinion by Justice Bridges

Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. In a criminal case, an applicant for mandamus relief must establish that he has no adequate remedy at law to redress the harm he has suffered, and he must show that the act he seeks to compel or prohibit does not involve a discretionary or judicial decision. Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009). The record before the Court shows relator has not met this standard. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus.
