IN RE JERRY WAYNE WIGFALL, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On June 23, 2003, relator, Jerry Wayne Wigfall, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221; Tex. R. App. P. 52. In his petition, he seeks to have this Court compel the trial court to order the preparation of the reporter=s record for his appeal at no cost. Relator has an adequate remedy by appeal. See In re Arroyo, 988 S.W.2d 737, 739 (Tex. 1998) (holding amended rules of appellate procedure provide adequate appellate remedy precluding mandamus relief to obtain a free record for appeal).

We deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Opinion filed July 3, 2003.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Fowler and Edelman.
