IN RE MICHAEL RAY DUNN, A/K/A TERRY NEWTON SANDERS
_________________________________

Before JOHNSON, C.J., REAVIS, J. and BOYD, S.J. (1)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
	Relator Michael Ray Dunn a/k/a Terry Newton Sanders, seeks issuance of a writ
of mandamus against respondents the Honorable John Board, Judge of the 181st District
Court of Potter County, and Rebecca King, District Attorney of Potter County.  We deny
the petition.  
	When petition for writ of mandamus is made, it is the relator's burden to show
entitlement to the relief being requested.  See generally Johnson v. Fourth District Court
of Appeals, 700 S.W.2d 916, 917 (Tex. 1985) (orig. proceeding).  Relator must file with the
petition a certified sworn copy of every document that is material to relator's claim for relief
and that was filed in any underlying proceeding, and a properly authenticated transcript
of any relevant testimony from any underlying proceeding including any exhibits offered
in evidence or a statement that no testimony was adduced in connection with the matter
complained of.  Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a).  
	Relator's petition contains only allegations.  Certified, sworn copies of motions and
correspondence referenced in the petition are not attached or furnished, nor is any other
document or transcript.  Relator has not presented a record which shows entitlement to the
relief sought, or upon which we are authorized to act.  
	The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
