Relator. 

COURT OF APPEALS 

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS 

EL PASO, TEXAS 

§ No. 08-15-00341-CR 

§ ORIGINAL PROCEEDING 

§ ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF 

§ MANDAMUS 

MEMORANDUM OPINION 

Relator, Jimmy Lee Sweed, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus against the 

Honorable Bonnie Rangel, Judge of the 171 st District Court of El Paso County, Texas, alleging 

that Respondent has not ruled on a post-conviction motion filed in cause number 69262: We 

deny mandamus relief. 

To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must meet two requirements. First, the 

relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion .. In re Prudential Insurance 

Compan'y ofAmerica, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004). Se~ond~the relator must d~monstrate 

that there is no adequate remedy by appeal. !d. at 135-36. Mandamus may issue to compel a 

trial court to rule on a motion which has been pending before the court for a reasonable period of 

time. See In re Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d 676, 679 (Tex.App.--El Paso 2006, orig. proceeding); 

In re Hearn, 137 S.W.3d 681, 685 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 2004, orig. proceeding); In re 

Chavez, 62 S.W.3d 225,228 (Tex.App.--Amarillo 2001, orig. proceeding). To obtain mandamus 

relief for such refusal, a relator must establish: (1) the motion was properly filed and has been 
pending for a reasonable time; (2) the relator requested a ruling on the motion; and (3) the trial 

court refused to rule. See Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d at 679; Hearn, 137 S.W.3d at 685; Chavez, 

62 S.W.3d at 228. Relator has failed to establish that he is entitled to mandamus relief. 

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
