IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
 
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
 
TYLER, TEXAS
 
§          
 
IN RE: LAMARVIN GROSS,          §          ORIGINAL
PROCEEDING
RELATOR
§          
 

 
 

MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
            Lamarvin
Gross seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the trial court to rule on his motion
to represent himself in the underlying proceeding and his motion for a free “transcript
and records.”
            The party
seeking mandamus relief has the burden to provide a record sufficient to
establish his entitlement to such relief. 
Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992).  To that end, the relator in a mandamus
proceeding must file along with his petition a certified or sworn copy of every
document that is material to his claim for relief and that was filed in any
underlying proceeding.  Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j)(1)(A),
52.7(a)(1).  Here, Gross did not provide
copies of any documents that are material to his claim for relief.  Consequently, he has failed to meet his
burden to provide a record sufficient to establish his entitlement to
relief.  Accordingly, the petition for
writ of mandamus is denied. 

Opinion delivered February 9,
2007.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and
Hoyle, J.
