MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-21-00106-CR
IN RE Andre SCALES, Relator
Original Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Beth Watkins, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 14, 2021
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus. We have the power to issue writs of
mandamus 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 legal 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).

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2011CR8106, styled State v. Scales, pending in the 227th Judicial District
