                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Ronnie J. Curtis filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel DNA

testing. We notified Curtis of several defects in his petition, including his failure to

identify the respondent, the real party in interest, the trial court, and the case number.

See generally Tex. R. App. P. 52. Although we provided an opportunity for Curtis

to amend his petition, Curtis failed to cure the defects we identified in his petition.

       We “may issue all writs of mandamus, agreeable to the principles of law

regulating those writs, against . . . a judge of a district . . . court in the court of appeals

district.” See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221. Curtis failed to provide sufficient

information for this Court to determine its jurisdiction and the relator’s right to relief.

Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.

                                              1
      PETITION DISMISSED.
