Denied and Opinion Filed February 28, 2018 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00200-CV IN RE RASHITH QAAHIR BEY, Relator Original Proceeding from the 193rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-11293 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Lang Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which he seeks a writ “compelling” the trial court “to honor the Default Judgment,” honor the “Notice of Default Judgment,” and dismiss and expunge all claims, tickets, and charges. To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). It is relator’s burden to provide the court with a record sufficient to establish his right to relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex.1992); TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j), 52.3(k)(1)(a), 52.7(a). Relator has not met that burden here. Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought). /Douglas S. Lang/ DOUGLAS S. LANG JUSTICE 180200F.P05 –2–
