PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS 

COMES NOW,· BRYAN KEITH PRICE, Relator, pro se in, the above 

styled cause of action and files this, his "ORIGINAL APPLICATION 

FOR ~RIT OF MANDAMUS" and will show this Honorable Court the 

following: 

I. 

JURISDICTION 

Bryan Keith Price, TDCJ-ID No. 1846244 is an offender in 

the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and is appearing pro 

se, who can be located at 59 Darrington Rd, Rosharon Texas 77583, 

' 

and That this honorable Court has Jurisdiction to entertain 

said "Writ of Mandamus", pursuant to Art. 22.221. Government 

Code, Art. 1 S~rtion 10. Texas Constitution~ and U.S.C.A- Amend. 

5:6: and 14. 

II. 

ACT SOUGHT IS MINISTERIAL 

That your Relator filed was granted a "FREE" Reporters 

Record.by the Honorable Judqe Messer of the lOOth Judicial District of Collinasworth Countv. Texas on July llth,2013and that 

1. 
your Relator has yet to lay eyes on the same due to Counsel's 

negligence at the Appellate level. Not only did appellate counsel 

not discuss the case at all with his "Client", but he failed 

to allow his "Client" to view the reporters Record. What good 

is a free Reporters Record to the appellate if he cannot be 

part of the reviewing process? Furthermore, an attorney who 

knows his client is indigent is doing said client a tremendous 

disservice by not taking the time to make a copy of the "FREE" 

Reporters Record for his client, since the chances of winning 

a direct appeal in the State of Texas are less than 2%, and this 

extreme lack of consideration on Counsel's part makes it virtuallv 

impossible for the Appellate to be able to adequately comolete 

a reasonable assessment of his Appellate Counsel's work on said 

direct appeal. as well as makinq it incredibly touqh on his 

Habeus Corpus proceeding. Your Relator contacted 

bar regarding the lack of of communication from his 

the State 

attorney, 

and is enclosing said exhibits for purposes of this Honorable 

Court's review. 

Additionally, your Relator has filed a motion with the 

lOOth Judicial district court in Collingsworth County, Texas 

on October 17th, 2014 requesting to review the transcripts that 

were to be "FREE" to him, and has yet to hear a response. Subsequently, your Relator sent a letter on December 18th, 2014 

notifying the lOOth Judicial Court that he has yet to hear from 

them regarding this very important matter(SEE EXHIBITS 1 AND 

2.) The act requested by your Relator is in fact ministerial 

and your Relator would enjoy an immediate response as the Court 

has had said "MOTION" for 5 months, and his clock is ticking as 

2 . 
far as his Federally allocated AEDPA time, and he is in fact 

already set way behind due to the Court's negligence regarding 

a response in a matter so critical to your Relator. 

III. 

RELATOR HAS EXHAUSTED ALL HIS REMEDIES 

Your Relator has in fact exhausted all of his remedies 

and has no other remedy at law regarding this situation, as 

previously noted., 

PRAYER 

Your Relator prays that this Honorable Court grant him 

this his petition for Writ of Mandamus, and require the lower 

Court to rule on his Motion so that he may proceed accordingly. 

Your Relator makes this showing in "GOOD FAITH" and asserts 

that it is in the interest of Justice to compel the Respondant 

to act on his Writ.

a grievance. 

Mr. Price expressed concerns regarding the legal matter you are handling for him. He indicated that he 

has tried resolving this on his own but has been unsuccessful. Consequently, he requested that CAAP assist by contacting you. For your convenience, enclosed is a copy of his most recentcorrespondence, 

which appears to request a production of client file. Pease contact Mr. Price to address his concerns:
