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. /Robbie Partida-Kipness/ ROBBIE PARTIDA-KIPNESS JUSTICE 221051F.P05 –2–
