IN RE WILLIAM NELSON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

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

On August 18, 2004, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator claims he has been detained since February 2004, and that the trial court has not ruled on his petition for writ of habeas corpus, allegedly filed on May 17, 2004.

As the party seeking relief, relator has the burden of providing this Court with a sufficient record to establish his right to mandamus relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). Relator has presented no record establishing his right to relief.

Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed August 26, 2004.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Hudson, and Frost.
