IN RE GEORGE HORACE RICHARDSON, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, George Horace Richardson, incarcerated and proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the trial court to rule on his motion for new trial. A motion for new trial is overruled by operation of law if the trial court does not rule on the motion within seventy-five days after suspending or imposing sentence in open court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.8. Accordingly, relator has not demonstrated entitlement to mandamus relief.
The underlying case is The State of Texas v. George Horace Richardson, Cause No. 1417213, in the 176th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Stacey Bond presiding. --------
We deny the petition.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Lloyd. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
