in Re: Charles Anthony Allen Sr. ( 2015 )

DENIED; and Opinion Filed March 25, 2015.
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00268-CV
IN RE CHARLES ANTHONY ALLEN SR., Relator
Original Proceeding from the 292nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CV99-01573-V
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Stoddart, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which he requests the Court
to order the trial court to rule on certain pending motions. Mandamus is appropriate in a criminal
case if the relator shows that he has no other adequate legal remedy and the act sought to be
compelled is purely ministerial. State of Tex. ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist.,
67 S.W.3d 177, 180–81 (Tex. Crim. App.2001) (orig. proceeding); In re Watkins, 315 S.W.3d
907, 908 (Tex. App.–Dallas 2010, orig. proceeding). On the record before the Court, we cannot
conclude relator is entitled to relief. We deny the petition.
