MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-21-00180-CR
IN RE Martin BALLEZA, Relator
Original Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Liza Rodriguez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: June 9, 2021
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus. We may issue such writs when “agreeable
to the principles of law regulating those writs.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b). For mandamus, a
relator has the burden to file a petition and record showing the trial court abused its discretion and
that no adequate appellate remedy exists. See State ex rel. Young v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Ct. of
Appeals at Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Having reviewed the
petition, we conclude relator has not satisfied this burden. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); id. R. 52.7(a) (requiring relator to file a certified or sworn copy of every
document material to relator’s claim for relief that was filed in the underlying proceeding).
