IN RE ROBERT GLENN DAVIS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Robert Glenn Davis, has filed another petition for writ of mandamus1
challenging the trial court’s refusal to respond to relator’s request pursuant to the Texas
Open Records Act.2
As stated in our previous opinions, relator has not established that he is entitled to
mandamus relief. Section 552.028 states that “a governmental body is not required to
accept or comply with a request for information from . . . an individual who is imprisoned
or confined in a correctional facility . . . .” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 552.028. Documents
attached to relator’s petition indicate that he is an inmate in the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice. Accordingly, the trial court had no duty to rule on relator’s request for
information.
We deny the petition. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Goodman, and Guerra.
Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Relator has filed three previous petitions for writ of mandamus raising exactly the same
complaint, which were all denied. See In re Davis, No. 01-20-00258-CR, 2020 WL
