IN RE NATHANIEL JONES III


Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Nathaniel Jones III filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the judge of the 172nd District Court to act on a mandamus petition. Jones states that he filed the mandamus petition with the trial court on January 30, 2015, and that he filed a request for a final order on February 12, 2015, but he provides no other information about his trial court filings. Jones has not shown that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

See generally Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 24.011 (West 2004) (a district judge may grant a writ of mandamus necessary to the enforcement of the court's jurisdiction).

No mandamus record or appendix has been filed with the Court of Appeals. See generally Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k), 52.7. In addition to failing to provide any usable information about his trial court filings, Jones filed a declaration of inability to pay costs with the Court of Appeals without filing an inmate trust account statement or an affidavit related to previous filings. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 14.004 (West Supp. 2014), §14.006(f) (West 2002). Also, the mandamus petition lacks proof of service. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5.
