Denied and Opinion Filed October 12, 2022
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-01051-CV
IN RE TOMMY RAY KING, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-55339-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Partida-Kipness, and Smith
Opinion by Justice Partida-Kipness
Relator Tommy Ray King seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court
to rule on relator’s motion to appoint counsel. To be entitled to mandamus relief in
a criminal case, relator must show (1) he has no adequate remedy at law, and (2)
what he seeks to compel is a ministerial act. In re State ex rel. Weeks, 391 S.W.3d
117, 122 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013) (orig. proceeding). Relator bears the burden to
provide the Court with a sufficient record to establish his right to relief. Walker v.
Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).
Relator has not provided this Court with a record establishing his right to
relief, and his petition does not comply with several of the requirements set out in
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3, 52.7. Accordingly,
we deny the petition.
