IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-16-00430-CR No. 10-16-00433-CR IN RE RAHEEM ABDULLAH WATKINS Original Proceeding MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator’s petitions for writ of mandamus is denied.1 AL SCOGGINS Justice Relator’s petitions for writ of mandamus lack proof of service on the State, which is the real party in interest in these proceedings because it was a party in the underlying criminal cases. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2. A copy of all documents presented to the Court must be served on all parties (i.e., the trial-court judge and the State through the district attorney in this proceeding) and must contain proof of service. Id. at R. 9.5. Here, relator indicates in his proof of service that he has served these documents on this Court, rather than the trial-court judge and the State. However, to expedite these matters, we invoke Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 2 to suspend these requirements. Id. at R. 2. 1 Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Petition denied Opinion delivered and filed December 28, 2016 [OT06] In re Watkins Page 2
