Original Proceedings MEMORANDUM OPINION Amos Jackson, Sr. filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus asking that we order the trial court to rule on Jackson’s “Chapter 64 Petition/Motion Requesting DNA Testing and the Appointment of Counsel” in each of his six convictions. Jackson alleged in his petition that he filed this motion in November of 2013 and that the trial court has failed to rule on it.1 There are numerous procedural problems with Jackson’s petition; however, we use Rule 2 to dispense with these deficiencies and proceed to a disposition of the petition. TEX. R. APP. P. 2. 1 The trial court clerk has provided a record which contains the trial court’s order denying Jackson’s motion for DNA testing and for the appointment of counsel in each of Jackson’s six underlying convictions. The order was signed on July 28, 2014. Because the trial court ruled on Jackson’s motion, Jackson’s petition is denied.
