Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-21-00180-CR IN RE Martin BALLEZA, Relator Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Liza Rodriguez, Justice Delivered and Filed: June 9, 2021 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus. We may issue such writs when “agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b). For mandamus, a relator has the burden to file a petition and record showing the trial court abused its discretion and that no adequate appellate remedy exists. See State ex rel. Young v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Ct. of Appeals at Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Having reviewed the petition, we conclude relator has not satisfied this burden. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); id. R. 52.7(a) (requiring relator to file a certified or sworn copy of every document material to relator’s claim for relief that was filed in the underlying proceeding). PER CURIAM Do Not Publish This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2017CR12645, styled State v. Balleza, pending in the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Frank J. Castro presiding. 1
