IN RE BILLY SALAZAR, Relator

---

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus  

---

MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Relator, Billy Salazar, requests that this Court compel respondent to: (1) grant unspecified motions filed in cause number 932110, and (2) reduce the amount of his pretrial bond in the same cause number. We deny the petition.

               A writ of mandamus will issue to correct the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no adequate remedy at law. Canadian Helicopters Ltd. v. Wittig, 876 S.W.2d 304, 305 (Tex. 1994) (orig. proceeding); State ex rel. Vance v. Routt, 571 S.W.2d 903, 907 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Relator has not provided us with a record demonstrating: (1) that respondent has a legal duty to grant relator’s motions, including a motion to reduce bail; (2) that relator made a demand for performance; or (3) that the trial court refused his request. See Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d 424, 426 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding).  

               The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

               It is so ORDERED.  

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Higley.
