MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

            Jose Manuel Bejarano, pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting this Court
to direct  the Judge the 112th Judicial District Court of Pecos County, Texas to conduct a “double
jeopardy hearing,” and to dismiss the criminal case pending against Relator.  
            In order to obtain relief through a writ of mandamus, a relator must establish: (1) no other
adequate remedy at law is available and (2) that the act he seeks to compel is ministerial.  State ex
rel. Young v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Court of Appeals At Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210
(Tex.Crim.App. 2007).  An act is ministerial if it does not involve the exercise of any discretion. 
State ex  rel. Hill v.  Court of Appeals for the Fifth District, 34 S.W.3d 924, 927 (Tex.Crim.App.
2001).  Based on the petition and record provided,  Relator has not demonstrated he is entitled to
mandamus relief.  See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8. The mandamus relief requested is therefore DENIED.
