in Re: Troy Edmon ( 2014 )

DENY; and Opinion Filed December 12, 2014.
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-01488-CV
IN RE TROY EDMON, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 195th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-71585
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus contending that the trial court has
violated a ministerial duty with regard to its treatment of his pre-trial petition for writ of habeas
corpus. The facts and issues are well-known to the parties so we do not recount them here. In a
criminal case, to be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must show two things: (1) that he has
no adequate remedy at law, and (2) that what he seeks to compel is a ministerial act. In re
Bonilla, 424 S.W.3d 528, 533 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (orig. proceeding). The record before the
Court does not show relator has met this burden. Accordingly, we DENY the petition.
